Exploring and analyzing the tor hidden services graph

The exploration and analysis of Web graphs has flourished in the recent past, producing a large number of relevant and interesting research results. However, the unique characteristics of the Tor network limit the applicability of standard techniques and demand for specific algorithms to explore…

A fast algorithm for Prandtl's integro-differential equation

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

Mechanotransduction map: simulation model, molecular pathway, gene set

Motivation: Mechanotransduction-the ability to output a biochemical signal from a mechanical input-is related to the initiation and progression of a broad spectrum of molecular events. Yet, the characterization of mechanotransduction lacks some of the most basic tools as, for instance, it can…

Classification of Crystallographic Data Using Canonical Correlation Analysis

A reliable and automatic method is applied to crystallographic data for tissue typing. The technique is based on canonical correlation analysis, a statistical method which makes use of the spectral-spatial information characterizing X-ray diffraction data measured from bone samples with implanted…

Entropic lattice pseudo-potentials for multiphase flow simulations at high Weber and Reynolds numbers

We present an entropic version of the lattice Boltzmann pseudo-potential approach for the simulation of multiphase flows. The method is shown to correctly simulate the dynamics of impinging droplets on hydrophobic surfaces and head-on and grazing collisions between droplets, at Weber and Reynolds…

Oil composition and genetic biodiversity of ancient and new olive (Olea europea L.) varieties and accessions of southern Italy

The present study is focused on determining the olive oil fatty acid composition of ancient and recent varieties of the Campania region (Italy), but also on molecularly characterizing the most common cultivated varieties in the same region, together with olive trees of the garden of the University…

Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Droplets Under an Oscillatory Electric Field

We numerically study the dynamics of quasi-two dimensional cholesteric liquid crystal droplets in the presence of a time-dependent electric field, rotating at constant angular velocity. A surfactant sitting at the droplet interface is also introduced to prevent droplet coalescence. The dynamics is…

Optimal spatiotemporal effort allocation for invasive species removal incorporating a removal handling time and budget

Improving strategies for the control and eradication of invasive species is an important aspect of nature conservation, an aspect where mathematical modeling and optimization play an important role. In this paper, we introduce a reaction-diffusion partial differential equation to model the…

Analysis of the Performances of a Marine Propeller operating in Oblique Flow

The present work is aimed to assess the capability of a numerical code based on the solution of the Rey- nolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the study of propeller functioning in off design conditions; this aspect is becoming of central interest in naval hydrodynamics research because of its…
