In a subsoil bioremediation intervention air or oxygen is injected in the polluted region and then a model for unsaturated porous media it is required, based on the theory of the dynamics of multiphase fluids in porous media. In order to optmize the costs of the intervention it is useful to consider the gas as compressible and this fact introduces nonlinearity in the mathematical model. The physical problem is described by a system of equations and the unknowns are: pollutant; bacteria concentration; oxygen saturation and oxygen pressure.

Given a random sample drawn from a Multivariate Bernoulli Variable (MBV), we consider the problem of estimating the structure of the undirected graph for which the distribution is pairwise Markov and the parameters' vector of its exponential form. We propose a simple method that provides a closed form estimator of the parameters' vector and through its support also provides an estimate of the undirected graph associated with the MBV distribution. The estimator is proved to be asymptotically consistent but it is feasible only in low-dimensional regimes.

This contribution outlines current research aimed at developing models for personalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) prevention in the framework of the European project PRAESIIDIUM (Physics Informed Machine Learn-ing-Based Prediction and Reversion of Impaired Fasting Glucose Management) aimed at building a digital twin for preventing T2D in patients at risk.

Real-world facility planning problems often require to tackle simultaneously network connectivity and zonal requirements, in order to guarantee an equitable provision of services and an efficient flow of goods, people and information among the facilities. Nonetheless, such challenges have not been addressed jointly so far. In this paper we explore the introduction of advanced network connectivity features and spatial-related requirements within Covering Location Problems.

Dissolution of drug from its solid form to a dissolved form is an important consideration in the design and optimization of drug delivery devices, particularly owing to the abundance of emerging compounds that are extremely poorly soluble. When the solid dosage form is encapsulated, for example by the porous walls of an implant, the impact of the encapsulant drug transport properties is a further confounding issue. In such a case, dissolution and diffusion work in tandem to control the release of drug.
