Volterra discrete equations: summability of the fundamental matrix.

Conditions are proven which assure the summability of the first difference of the fundamental matrix of nonconvolution Volterra discrete equations. These conditions are applied to the \st analysis of some linear methods for solving Volterra integral equations of nonconvolution type.

Experimental and numerical investigation of propeller loads in off-design conditions

The understanding of the performance of a propeller in realistic operative conditions is nowadays a key issue for improving design techniques, guaranteeing safety and continuity of operation at sea, and reducing maintenance costs. In this paper, a summary of the recent research carried out at CNR-…

Screw dislocations in periodic media: Variational coarse graining of the discrete elastic energy

We study the asymptotic behavior, as the lattice spacing ? tends to zero, of the discrete elastic energy induced by topological singularities in an inhomogeneous ? periodic medium within a two-dimensional model for screw dislocations in the square lattice. We focus on the |log?| regime which, as…

Boundary conditions for thermal lattice Boltzmann simulations

Nuclear quantum effects in electronic (non)adiabatic dynamics

Trajectory-based approaches to excited-state, nonadiabatic dynamics are promising simulation techniques to describe the response of complex molecular systems upon photo-excitation. They provide an approximate description of the coupled quantum dynamics of electrons and nuclei trying to access…

The numerical treatment of hypersingular integral equations

Collocation and quadrature methods for singular integro-differential equations of Prandtl's type are studied in weighted Sobolev spaces as well as in weighted spaces of continuous functions. A fast algorithm based on the quadrature method is proposed. Convergence results and error estimates are…

Class imbalance should not throw you off balance: Choosing the right classifiers and performance metrics for brain decoding with imbalanced data

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience. The reliable and efficient application of ML requires a sound understanding of its subtleties and limitations. Training ML models on datasets with imbalanced classes is a particularly common problem,…

Efficient Implementation of Reduce-Scatter in MPI

Design and testing of hydrophobic core/hydrophilic shell nano/micro particles for drug-eluting stent coating

In this study, we designed a novel drug-eluting coating for vascular implants consisting of a core coating of the anti-proliferative drug docetaxel ( DTX) and a shell coating of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor monoclonal antibody SZ-21. The core/shell structure was sprayed onto the…
