This paper presents an innovative approach to maximally disconnect a given network. More specifically, this work introduces the concept of a Critical Disruption Path, a path between a source and a destination vertex whose deletion minimizes the cardinality of the largest remaining connected… |

Mortality models play a basic role in the evaluation of longevity risk by demographers and actuaries. Their performance strongly depends on the different patterns shown by mortality data in different countries. A comprehensive quantitative comparison of the most used methods for forecasting… |

We present a systematic approach to search for an effective vaccination schedule using mathematical computerized models. Our study is based on our previous model that simulates the cancer vs immune system competition activated by tumor vaccine. This model accurately reproduces in-vivo experiments… |

We consider the construction and the properties of the Riemann solver
for the hyperbolic system
\begin{equation}\label{E:hyp0}
u_t + f(u)_x = 0,
\end{equation}
assuming only that $Df$ is strictly hyperbolic.
In the first part we prove a general regularity theorem on the
admissible curves $T_i$ of… |

The neuronal functional connectivity is a complex and non-stationary
phenomenon creating dynamic networks synchronization determining the
brain states and needed to produce tasks. Here, as a measure that quantifies
the synchronization between the neuronal electrical activity of two brain
regions,… |

We discuss a unified mesoscale framework (chimaera) for the simulation of complex states of flowing matter across scales of motion. The chimaera framework can deal with each of the three macro-meso-micro levels through suitable 'mutations' of the basic mesoscale formulation. The idea is illustrated… |

Objective The immune response arises from a fne balance of mechanisms that provide for surveillance, tolerance, and elimination of dangers. Sulfavant A (SULF A) is a sulfolipid with a promising adjuvant activity. Here we studied the mechanism
of action of SULF A and addressed the identifcation of… |

This paper focuses on an entropy based formalism to speed up the evaluation of the Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) index in images affected by a global distortion. Looking at images as information sources, a visual distortion typical set can be defined for SSIM. This typical set consists of just a… |
