The effects of a nonminimally coupled curvature-matter model of gravity on planetary orbits are computed. The parameters of the model are then constrained by the observation of Mercury orbit.

In this paper, the asymptotic behaviour of the numerical solution to the Volterra integral equations is studied. In particular, a technique based on an appropriate splitting of the kernel is introduced, which allows one to obtain vanishing asymptotic (transient) behaviour in the numerical solution, consistently with the properties of the analytical solution, without having to operate restrictions on the integration steplength

A new technique for nonparametric regression of multichannel signals is presented. The technique is based on the use of the Rational-Dilation Wavelet Transform (RADWT), equipped with a tunable Q-factor able to provide sparse representations of functions with different oscillations persistence. In particular, two different frames are obtained by two RADWT with different Q-factors that give sparse representations of functions with low and high resonance.

Background: Neutrophils are one of the key players in the human innate immune system (HIIS). In the event of an insult where the body is exposed to inflammation triggering moieties (ITMs), neutrophils are mobilized towards the site of insult and antagonize the inflammation. If the inflammation is cleared, neutrophils go into a programmed death called apoptosis.

A novel approach for extracting gauge-invariant information about spin-orbit coupling in gravitationally interacting binary systems is introduced. This approach is based on the "scattering holonomy", i.e. the integration (from the infinite past to the infinite future) of the differential spin evolution along the two worldlines of a binary system in hyperboliclike motion. We apply this approach to the computation, at the first post-Minkowskian approximation (i.e.

We study nonnegative solutions of the Cauchy problem
