Encoding the states of interacting proteins to facilitate biological pathways reconstruction

Background: In a systems biology perspective, protein-protein interactions (PPI) are encoded in machine-readable formats to avoid issues encountered in their retrieval for the reconstruction of comprehensive interaction maps and biological pathways. However, the information stored in electronic…

Dynamic mesh refinement for discrete models of jet electro-hydrodynamics

Nowadays, several models of unidimensional fluid jets exploit discrete element methods. In some cases, as for models aiming at describing the electrospinning nanofabrication process of polymer fibers, discrete element methods suffer a non-constant resolution of the jet representation. We develop a…

Computing Gaussian quadrature rules with high relative accuracy

The computation of n-point Gaussian quadrature rules for symmetric weight functions is considered in this paper. It is shown that the nodes and the weights of the Gaussian quadrature rule can be retrieved from the singular value decomposition of a bidiagonal matrix of size n/2. The proposed…

A level set based method for fixing overhangs in 3D printing

3D printers based on the additive manufacturing technology create objects layer-by-layer dropping fused material. As a consequence, strong overhangs cannot be printed because the new-come material does not find a suitable support over the last deposed layer. In these cases, one can add support…

On the condensed density of the zeros of the Cauchy transform of a complex atomic random measure with Gaussian moments

An atomic random complex measure defined on the unit disk with normally distributed moments is considered. An approximation to the distribution of the zeros of its Cauchy transform is computed. Implications of this result for solving several moment problems are discussed.

Switching dynamics in cholesteric liquid crystal emulsions

In this work we numerically study the switching dynamics of a 2D cholesteric emulsion droplet immersed in an isotropic fluid under an electric field, which is either uniform or rotating with constant speed. The overall dynamics depend strongly on the magnitude and on the direction (with respect to…

Two-dimensional Fluctuating Vesicles in Linear Shear Flow

The stochastic motion of a two-dimensional vesicle in linear shear flow is studied at finite temperature. In the limit of small deformations from a circle, Langevin-type equations of motion are derived, which are highly nonlinear due to the constraint of constant perimeter length. These equations…
