Recovering geography from a matrix of genetic distances

Given a population of N elements with their geographical positions and the genetic (or lexical) distances between couples of elements (inferred, for example, from lexical differences between dialects which are spoken in different towns or from genetic differences between animal populations living…

Cloud Droplet Growth by Condensation in Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence

Convergence of relaxation schemes to the equations of elastodynamics

Extracting weights from edge directions to find communities in directed networks

Community structures are found to exist ubiquitously in real-world complex networks. We address here the problem of community detection in directed networks. Most of the previous literature ignores edge directions and applies methods designed for community detection in undirected networks, which…

The QR Steps with Perfect Shifts

In this paper we revisit the problem of performing a QR-step on an unreduced Hessenberg matrix H when we know an "exact" eigenvalue ?0 of H. Under exact arithmetic, this eigenvalue will appear on diagonal of the transformed Hessenberg matrix H~ and will be decoupled from the remaining part of the…

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces L^{p()} with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the non rearrangement invariant spaces Lp(·) (? ) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps u ? L p( ·) (? ) -> k(t )u* ? L p * (·)(0, meas? ) and u ? L p( ·) (? ) -> u* ? Lp* (·) (0, meas? ) are locally ?-…

Phase-field lattice kinetic scheme for the numerical simulation of dendritic growth

Parameter estimation tools for cardiovascular flow modeling of fetal circulation

Usually, clinicians assess the correct hemodynamic behavior and fetal wellbeing during the gestational age thanks to their professional expertise, with the support of some indices defined for Doppler fetal waveforms. Although this approach has demonstrated to be satisfactory in the most of the…

Multiscale model of a freeze-thaw process for tree sap exudation

Sap transport in trees has long fascinated scientists, and a vast literature exists on experimental and modelling studies of trees during the growing season when large negative stem pressures are generated by transpiration from leaves. Much less attention has been paid to winter months when trees…

The footprint of metabolism in the organization of mammalian genomes

Background: At present five evolutionary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the great variability of the genomic GC content among and within genomes: the mutational bias, the biased gene conversion, the DNA breakpoints distribution, the thermal stability and the metabolic rate. Several…
