A Boundary Element Method (BEM) hydrodynamics combined with a flow-alignment technique to evaluate blades shed
vorticity is presented and applied to a marine propeller in open water. Potentialities and drawbacks of this approach in capturing
propeller performance, slipstream velocities, blade… |

Implantation of drug eluting stents following percutaneous trans-
luminal angioplasty has revealed a well established technique for treating occlusions caused by the atherosclerotic plaque. However, due to the risk of vascular
re-occlusion, other alternative therapeutic strategies of drug delivery… |

In this paper we provide emission estimates due to vehicular traffic via Generic Second Order
Models. We generalize them to model road networks with merge and diverge junctions. The
procedure consists on solving the Riemann Problem at junction assuming the maximization of
the flow and a priority… |

In this paper the phase behavior and pattern formation in a sheared nonideal fluid under a periodic potential is studied. An isothermal two-dimensional formulation of a lattice Boltzmann scheme for a liquid-vapor system with the van der Waals equation of state is presented and validated. Shear is… |

In this paper we present algorithms for approximating real band-limited signals by multiple Gaussian Chirps. These algorithms do not rely on matching pursuit ideas. They are hierarchial and, at each stage, the number of terms in a given approximation depends only on the number of positive-valued… |

Recent years have witnessed a massive push towards reproducible research in neuroscience. Unfortunately, this endeavor is often challenged by the large diversity of tools used, project-specific custom code and the difficulty to track all user-defined parameters. NeuroPycon is an open-source multi-… |

Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid. The model presented in this article focuses mainly… |

Spiral waves appear in many different contexts: excitable biological
tissues, fungi and amoebae colonies, chemical reactions, growing crystals, fluids
and gas eddies as well as in galaxies. While the existing theories explain the
presence of spirals in terms of nonlinear parabolic equations, in… |

This work presents a methodology for the short-term forecast of intense rainfall based on a neural network and the integration of Global Navigation and Positioning System (GNSS) and meteorological data. Precipitable water vapor (PWV) derived from GNSS is combined with surface pressure, surface… |
