Wave propagation in a fluid flowing through a curved thin-walled elastic tube

The pulsatile flow in a curved elastic pipe of circular cross section is investigated. The unsteady flow of a viscous fluid and the wall motion equations are written in a toroidal coordinate system, superimposed and linearized over a steady state solution. Being the main application relative to the…

A comprehensive molecular interaction map for rheumatoid arthritis

Background: Computational biology contributes to a variety of areas related to life sciences and, due to the growing impact of translational medicine - the scientific approach to medicine in tight relation with basic science, it is becoming an important player in clinical-related areas. In this…

Influence of diffusion on the stability of a full Brusselator model

The classic Brusselator model consists of four reactions in- volving six components A, B, D, E, X, Y. In a typical run, the final products D and E are removed instantly, while, the con- centrations of the reactants A and B are kept constant. Then, the classic Brusselator model consisting of two…

Dynamics and rheology of vesicle suspensions in wall-bounded shear flow

The dynamics and rheology of suspensions of fluid vesicles or red blood cells is investigated by a combination of molecular dynamics and mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations in two dimensions. The vesicle suspension is confined between two no-slip walls, which are driven externally to generate a…

Simulating Epstein Barr Virus Infection with C-ImmSim

Motivation: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects greater than 90% of humans benignly for life but can be associated with tumors. It is a uniquely human pathogen that is amenable to quantitative analysis; however, there is no applicable animal model. Computer models may provide a virtual environment to…

Nonlinear stability analysis of a chemical reaction-diffusion system

A reaction-diffusion model, known as the Sel'kov-Schnakenberg model, is considered. The nonlinear stability of the constant steady state is studied by using a special Liapunov functional and a maximum principle for regular solutions.

Microforecasting methods for fresh food supply chain management: A computational study

We address the problem of forecasting sales for fresh and highly perishable products, in the general context of supply chain management. The forecasting activity refers to the single item in a given store and started from a pre-processing phase for data analysis and normalization. Then data was…

Inverting for geophysical parameters from IMG radiances

Radiances observed by the Interferometric Monitor for Greenhouse gases sounder have been used to retrieve temperature, water vapor, and ozone profiles. It is shown that the sounder allows us to simultaneously retrieve stable solutions for temperature and water vapor. Once water vapor and…

Optimal summability of solutions to nonlinear elliptic problems

The strongest possible norms in a priori estimates for solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems are exhibited.
