Comparing effective-one-body Hamiltonians for spin-aligned coalescing binaries

TEOBResumS and SEOBNRv4 are the two existing semianalytical gravitational waveform models for spin-aligned coalescing black hole binaries based on the effective-one-body (EOB) approach. They are informed by numerical relativity simulations and provide the relative dynamics and waveforms from early…

A two-phase two-layer model for transdermal drug delivery and percutaneous absorption

One of the promising frontiers of bioengineering is the controlled release of a therapeutic drug from a vehicle across the skin (transdermal drug delivery). In order to study the complete process, a two-phase mathematical model describing the dynamics of a substance between two coupled media of…

Convergence of solutions for two delays Volterra integral equations in the critical case

In this paper, for the "critical case" with two delays, we establish two relations between any two solutions y(t) and y*(t) for the Volterra integral equation of non-convolution type y(t)=f(t)+\int_{t-\tau}^{t-\delta}k(t,s)g(y(s))ds and a solution z(t) of the first order differential equation \dot…

A NONLINEAR PARABOLIC-HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM FOR CONTACT INHIBITION AND A DEGENERATE PARABOLIC FISHER KPP EQUATION

We consider a mathematical model describing population dynamics of normal and abnormal cell densities with contact inhibition of cell growth from a theoretical point of view. In the first part of this paper, we discuss the global existence of a solution satisfying the segregation property in one…

Intermittency in the relative separations of tracers and of heavy particles in turbulent flows

Results from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of particle relative dispersion in three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at Reynolds number Re?~300 are presented. We study point-like passive tracers and heavy particles, at Stokes number St=0.6,1 and 5. Particles are emitted from…

Two-dimensional performance of MIPAS observation modes in the upper-troposphere/lower-stratosphere

In this paper we analyze the performance of the three MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) observation modes that sound the Upper-Troposphere/Lower-Stratosphere (UT/LS) region. The two-dimensional (2-D) tomographic retrieval approach is assumed to derive the atmospheric…

Quantifying trace gas emissions from composite landscapes: A mass-budget approach with aircraft measurements

Quantifying trace gas emissions and the influence of surface exchange processes on the atmosphere is a necessary step towards the control of global greenhouse gas emissions and reliability of air quality models. This paper proposes a procedure based on the mass balance method and implemented on…

Joining European Scientific Forces to Face Pandemics

Despite the international guidelines on the containment of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the European scientific community was not sufficiently prepared to coordinate scientific efforts. To improve preparedness for future pandemics, we have initiated a network of nine European-…

Locally inertial approximations of balance laws arising in (1 + 1)-dimensional general relativity

An elementary model of (1 + 1)-dimensional general relativity, known as "R = T " and mainly developed by Mann and coworkers in the early 1990s, is set up in various contexts. Its formulation, mostly in isothermal coordinates, is derived and a relativistic Euler system of selfgravitating gas coupled…

Exponential Lawson integration for nearly Hamiltonian systems arising in optimal control

We are concerned with the discretization of optimal control problems when a Runge-Kutta scheme is selected for the related Hamiltonian system. It is known that Lagrangian's first order conditions on the discrete model, require a symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta scheme for state-costate equations…
