Heterogeneous catalysis in pulsed-flow reactors with nanoporous gold hollow spheres

We present a novel application of the Lattice Boltzmann Method to the study of pulsed reactive flows in transitional Knudsen number regimes, namely 0.1 < Kn < 1. We characterize the conversion efficiency of catalytic particles for different geometries and configurations, including single…

Global existence for a 1D parabolic-elliptic model for chemical aggression in permeable materials

We prove global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to a nonlinear system of parabolic-elliptic equations, which describes the chemical aggression of a permeable material, like calcium carbonate rocks, in presence of acid atmosphere. This model applies when convective flows are not…

Capturing Free-Radical Polymerization by Synergetic Ab Initio Calculations and Topological Reactive Molecular Dynamics

Photocurable polymers are used ubiquitously in 3D printing, coatings, adhesives, and composite fillers. In the present work, the free radical polymerization of photocurable compounds is studied using reactive classical molecular dynamics combined with a dynamical approach of the nonequilibrium…

Sentinel-1 Interferometric SAR Mapping of Precipitable Water Vapor Over a Country-Spanning Area

This paper presents a methodology to generate maps of atmosphere's precipitable water vapor (PWV) over large areas with a length of hundreds of kilometers and a width of about 250 km, based on the use of interferometric Sentinel-1A/BC-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data with a high spatial…

Stochastic Algorithms for Robustness of Control Performances

Understanding human diseases with high-throughput quantitative measurement and analysis of molecular signatures

Microarray and deep sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities for mapping genome mutations, RNA transcripts, transcription factor binding, and histone modifications at high resolution at the genome-wide level. This has revolutionized the way in which transcriptomes,…

LBsoft: A parallel open-source software for simulation of colloidal systems

We present LBsoft, an open-source software developed mainly to simulate the hydro-dynamics of colloidal systems based on the concurrent coupling between lattice Boltzmann methods for the fluid and discrete particle dynamics for the colloids. Such coupling has been developed before, but, to the best…

GAUSS-DIFFUSION PROCESSES FOR MODELING THE DYNAMICS OF A COUPLE OF INTERACTING NEURONS

With the aim to describe the interaction between a couple of neurons a stochastic model is proposed and formalized. In such a model, maintaining statements of the Leaky Integrate-and-Fire framework, we include a random component in the synaptic current, whose role is to modify the equilibrium point…
