Per innalzare il livello tecnico-scientifico della comunità nazionale nel settore, il Progetto si è posto come obiettivo essenziale di favorire lo sviluppo di teorie e tecnologie avanzate, in grado di migliorare le conoscenze e le competenze sia metodologiche sia implementative.

Low and high resonance components restoration in multichannel data

A technique for the restoration of low resonance component and high res- onance component of K independently measured signals is presented. The definition of low and high resonance component is given by the Rational Dilatation Wavelet Transform (RADWT), a particular kind of finite frame that provides sparse repre- sentation of functions with different oscillations persistence.

HiCeekR: A Novel Shiny App for Hi-C Data Analysis

The High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) technique combines the power of the Next Generation Sequencing technologies with chromosome conformation capture approach to study the 3D chromatin organization at the genome-wide scale. Although such a technique is quite recent, many tools are already available for pre-processing and analyzing Hi-C data, allowing to identify chromatin loops, topological associating domains and A/B compartments. However, only a few of them provide an exhaustive analysis pipeline or allow to easily integrate and visualize other omic layers.

Constraining a nonminimally coupled curvature-matter gravity model with ocean experiments

We examine the constraints on the Yukawa regime from the nonminimally coupled curvature-matter gravity theory arising from deep underwater ocean experiments. We consider the geophysical experiment of Zumberge et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 3051 (1991)] for searching deviations of Newton's inverse square law in ocean. In the context of nonminimally coupled curvature-matter theory of gravity the results of Zumberge et al. can be used to obtain an upper bound both on the strength a and range lambda of the Yukawa potential arising from the nonrelativistic limit of the nonminimally coupled theory.

Improving solve time of aggregation-based adaptive AMG

This paper proposes improving the solve time of a bootstrap algebraic multigrid (AMG) designed previously by the authors. This is achieved by incorporating the information, a set of algebraically smooth vectors, generated by the bootstrap algorithm, in a single hierarchy by using sufficiently large aggregates, and these aggregates are compositions of aggregates already built throughout the bootstrap algorithm. The modified AMG method has good convergence properties and shows significant reduction in both memory and solve time.

Properties of a Variational Model for Video Inpainting

We consider a variational model analyzed in March and Riey (Inverse Probl Imag 11(6): 997-1025, 2017) for simultaneous video inpainting and motion estimation. The model has applications in the field of recovery of missing data in archive film materials. A gray-value video content is reconstructed in a spatiotemporal region where the video data is lost. A variational method for motion compensated video inpainting is used, which is based on the simultaneous estimation of apparent motion in the video data.

Rheology of active polar emulsions: from linear to unidirectional and inviscid flow, and intermittent viscosity

The rheological behaviour of an emulsion made of an active polar component and an isotropic passive fluid is studied by lattice Boltzmann methods. Different flow regimes are found by varying the values of the shear rate and extensile activity (occurring, e.g., in microtubule-motor suspensions).

Dynamically asymmetric and bicontinuous morphologies in active emulsions

The morphology of a mixture made of a polar active gel immersed in an isotropic passive fluid is studied numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes equation and coupled to a finite-difference scheme used to integrate the dynamic equations of the concentration and of the polarization of the active component. By varying the relative amounts of the mixture phases, different structures can be observed.

Fully anisotropic elliptic problems with minimally integrable data

We investigate nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems whose growth is driven by a general anisotropic N-function, which is not necessarily of power-type and need not satisfy the ? nor the ? -condition. Fully anisotropic, non-reflexive Orlicz-Sobolev spaces provide a natural functional framework associated with these problems. Minimal integrability assumptions are detected on the datum on the right-hand side of the equation ensuring existence and uniqueness of weak solutions.
