We study the conformational freedom of a protein made by two rigid domains connected by a flexible linker. The conformational freedom is represented as an unknown probability distribution on the space of allowed states. A new algorithm for the calculation of the maximum allowable probability is… |

The ultimate regime of thermal convection, the so called Kraichnan regime (R. H. Kraichnan, Phys. Fluids 5, 1374 (1962)), hitherto has been elusive. Here, numerical evidence for that regime is presented by performing simulations of the bulk of turbulence only, eliminating the thermal and kinetic… |

In this paper, we numerically investigate the breakup dynamics of droplets in an emulsion flowing in a tapered microchannel with a narrow constriction. The mesoscale approach for multicomponent fluids with near contact interactions is shown to capture the deformation and breakup dynamics of… |

With reference to a defined contribution pension scheme, this paper investigates the computation of suitable risk indicators in a fair valuation context. This subject involves theoretical isuues about the choice of the models for the dynamics of interest and mortality rates. The risk analysis is… |

The understanding of water transport in graphene oxide (GO) membranes stands out as a major theoretical problem in graphene research. Notwithstanding the intense efforts devoted to the subject in the recent years, a consolidated picture of water transport in GO membranes is yet to emerge. By… |

The growth and evolution of microbial populations is often subjected to advection by fluid flows in spatially extended environments, with immediate consequences for questions of spatial population genetics in marine ecology, planktonic diversity and origin of life scenarios. Here, we review recent… |

A hollow-fiber enzyme reactor, operating under isothermal and nonisothermal
conditions, was built employing a polypropylene hollow fiber onto which â-galactosidase
was immobilized. Hexamethylenediamine and glutaraldehyde were used as spacer
and coupling agent, respectively. Glucose production was… |

Motivation: A computational model equipped with the main immunological features of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) immune system was used to predict more effective vaccination in fish. The performance of the model was evaluated by using the results of two in vivo vaccinations trials against… |

The effect of a small gravitomagnetic monopole on (accelerated) circular orbits in the equatorial plane of the Taub-NUT spacetime is compared to the corresponding (accelerated) orbits pushed slightly off the equatorial plane in the absense of the monopole (Schwarzschild spacetime). |
