Multiscale coupling of molecular dynamics and hydrodynamics: Application to DNA translocation through a nanopore

We present a multiscale approach to the modeling of polymer dynamics in the presence of a fluid solvent. The approach combines Langevin molecular dynamics ( MD) techniques with a mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for the solvent dynamics. A unique feature of the present approach is that…

Excised black-holes: the scattering problem in the time domain,

ZBTB2 protein is a new partner of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex

ZBTB2 is a protein belonging to the BTB/POZ zinc-finger family whose members typically contain a BTB/POZ domain at the N-terminus and several zinc-finger domains at the C-terminus. Studies have been carried out to disclose the role of ZBTB2 in cell proliferation, in human cancers and in regulating…

A hybrid mathematical model for self-organizing cell migration in the zebrafish lateral line

In this paper we propose a discrete in continuous mathematical model for the morphogenesis of the posterior lateral line system in zebrafish. Our model follows closely the results obtained in recent biological experiments. We rely on a hybrid description: discrete for the cellular level and…

Viaggio nella turbolenza

Grazie alle simulazioni con i supercalcolatori, si cominciano a scoprire i meccanismi microscopici che governano il moto collettivo dei fluidi

Diffusive kinetic explicit schemes for nonlinear degenerate parabolic systems

We design numerical schemes for nonlinear degenerate parabolic systems with possibly dominant convection. These schemes are based on discrete BGK models where both characteristic velocities and the source-term depend singularly on the relaxation parameter. General stability conditions are derived,…

Simultaneous nonparametric regression in RADWT dictionaries

A new technique for nonparametric regression of multichannel signals is presented. The technique is based on the use of the Rational-Dilation Wavelet Transform (RADWT), equipped with a tunable Q-factor able to provide sparse representations of functions with different oscillations persistence. In…

Stochastic dynamics of determinantal processes by integration by parts

We derive an integration by parts formula for functionals of de- terminantal processes on compact sets, completing the arguments of [4]. This is used to show the existence of a conguration-valued diffusion process which is non-colliding and admits the distribution of the determinantal process as…
