Experimental Results about MPI Collective Communication Operations

Collective communication performance is critical in a number of MPI applications. In this paper we focus on two widely used primitives, broadcast and reduce, and present experimental results obtained on a cluster of PC connected by Myrinet. We compare the performance of the MPICH primitives…

Effects of COVID-19 lockdown on weight in a cohort of allergic children and adolescents

Background COVID-19 lockdown caused sudden changes in people's lifestyle, as a consequence of the forced lockdown imposed by governments all over the world. We aimed to evaluate the impact of lockdown on body mass index (BMI) in a cohort of allergic children and adolescents. Methods From the first…

The emerging role of ECM crosslinking in T cell mobility as a hallmark of immunosenescence in humans

Immunosenescence is thought to result from cellular aging and to reflect exposure to environmental stressors and antigens, including cytomegalovirus (CMV). However, not all of the features of immunosenescence are consistent with this view, and this has led to the emergence of the sister theory of "…

Efficient implementation of a Structured Total Least
Squares based speech compression method

We present a fast implementation of a recently proposed speech compression scheme, based on an all-pole model of the vocal tract. Each frame of the speech signal is analyzed by storing the parameters of the complex damped exponentials deduced from the all-pole model and its initial conditions.…

Heuristic approaches for the Minimum Labelling Hamiltonian Cycle Problem

Given a graph G with a label (color) assigned to each edge (not necessarily properly) we look for an hamiltonian cycle of G with the minimum number of different colors. The problem has several applications in telecommunication networks, electric networks, multimodal transportation networks, among…

Reaction Spreading in Systems With Anomalous Diffusion

We briefly review some aspects of the anomalous diffusion, and its relevance in reactive systems. In particular we consider strong anomalous diffusion characterized by the moment behaviour <(x(t)(q)> similar to t(qv)(q), where v(q) is a non constant function, and we discuss its consequences.…

Il calcolo prima del FINAC

Analisi storica degli strumenti di calcolo utilizzati presso l'allora Istituto Nazionale per le Applicazioni del Calcolo prima dell'acquisto del calcolatore elettronico FINAC

Modeling and Simulation of Cancer Immunoprevention Vaccine

We present an in silico model that simulates the immune system responses to tumor cells in naive and vaccinated mice. We have demonstrated the ability of this model to accurately reproduce the experimental results. Motivation: In vivo experiments on HER-2/neu mice have shown the effectiveness of…
