Hyperbolic scattering of spinning particles by a Kerr black hole

We investigate the scattering of a spinning test particle by a Kerr black hole within the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model to linear order in spin. The particle's spin and orbital angular momentum are taken to be aligned with the black hole's spin. Both the particle's mass and spin length are…

Analysis of the HBLA-B27 extended haplotype in Sardinia disclosed additional predisposing factors for Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Aberrant methylation patterns in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis

Colorectal cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Despite numerous molecular characterizations of the phenomenon, the exact dynamics of its onset and progression remain elusive. Colorectal cancer onset has been characterized by changes in DNA methylation profiles, that, owing…

Regularization of the slip length divergence in water nanoflows by inhomogeneities at the Angstrom scale

Sharp Sobolev type embeddings on the entire euclidean space

A comprehensive approach to Sobolev-type embeddings, involving arbitrary rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire Euclidean space R^n, is offered. In particular, the optimal target space in any such embedding is exhibited. Crucial in our analysis is a new reduction principle for the relevant…

Heat-Jarrow-Morton interest rate dynamics and approximately consistent forward rate curves

We study a finite{dimensional approach to the Heath Jarrow Morton model for interest rate and introduce a notion of approximate consistency for a family of functions in a deterministic and stochastic framework. This amounts to asking the decrease of the minimum distance in least squares sense. We…

TOM: a web-based integrated approach for identification of candidate disease genes

The massive production of biological data by means of highly parallel devices like microarrays for gene expression has paved the way to new possible approaches in molecular genetics. Among them the possibility of inferring biological answers by querying large amounts of expression data. Based on…

Unified framework for a side-by-side comparison of different multicomponent algorithms: Lattice Boltzmann vs. phase field model

Lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) and phase field models (PFM) are two of the most widespread approaches for the numerical study of multicomponent fluid systems. Both methods have been successfully employed by several authors but, despite their popularity, still remains unclear how to properly compare…

Detecting longitudinal damages in the internal coating of a tube

Longitudinal defects of the internal coated surface of a metal pipe can be evaluated in a fast, precise and cheap way from thermal measurements on the external surface. In this paper, we study two classes of real situations in which the thickness of the coating is much smaller than the thickness of…
