Motivation: DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic mark with major implications in both physiological (development, aging) and pathological conditions (cancers and numerous diseases). Recent research involving methylation focuses on the development of molecular age estimation methods based on DNA… |

We study spreading dynamics of a reaction diffusion process in a special class of heterogeneous graphs with Poissonian degree distribution and composed of both local and long range links. The behavior of the spreading dynamics on such networks are investigated by relating them to the topological… |

Periodic monitoring of biodiversity changes at a landscape scale constitutes a key issue for conservation managers. Earth Observation (EO) data offers a potential solution, through direct or indirect mapping of species or habitats. Most national and international programs rely on the use of Land… |

Community structure has been found to exist ubiquitously in many different kinds of real world complex networks. Most of the previous literature ignores edge directions and applies methods designed for community finding in undirected networks to find communities. Here, we address the problem of… |

A general methodology, which consists in deriving two-dimensional finite-difference schemes which involve numerical fluxes based on Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps (or Steklov-Poincare operators), is first recalled. Then, it is applied to several types of diffusion equations, some being weakly… |

An integrated software tool environment is presented, and a methodology is proposed for the operational support of the local authority, for analysis of the impact of transport measures in terms of network energy consumption and pollutant emissions. It is based on work done by the European Union… |

On the occasion of the 700th centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri, medium wave infrared imaging analysis of illuminations of the XIV-century code of the Divina Commedia (MS. 1102), hosted in the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome, was performed and discussed. The investigation was carried out by… |

The angle of directional change of tracer trajectories in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection is studied as a function of the time increment tau between two instants of time along the trajectories, both experimentally and with direct numerical simulations. Our aim is to explore the geometrical… |
