Large deviations of the interference in a wireless communication model

We provide a large deviation principle for the interference in a simple model of wireless communication

Modelling phase separation in amorphous solid dispersions

Much work has been devoted to analysing thermodynamic models for solid dispersions with a view to identifying regions in the phase diagram where amorphous phase separation or drug recrystallization can occur. However, detailed partial differential equation non-equilibrium models that track the…

Steady 3D flow configurations for the horizontal thermal convection with thermocapillary effects

A vast literature exists on the Benard flow, the vertical thermal convection flow, but almost no result is known on the horizontal counterpart. On account of the wide range of applications in geophysics, astrophysics, metereology, and material science; we think that the horizontal thermal…

On a hyperbolic-parabolic system arising in magnetoelasticity

Combined effects of fluid type and particle shape on particles flow in microfluidic platforms

Recent numerical analyses to optimize the design of microfluidic devices for more effective entrapment or segregation of surrogate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from healthy cells have been reported in the literature without concurrently accommodating the non-Newtonian nature of the body fluid and…

Transcriptome analysis of human primary endothelial cells (HUVEC) from umbilical cords of gestational diabetic mothers reveals candidate sites for an epigenetic modulation of specific gene expression

Within the complex pathological picture associated to diabetes, high glucose (HG) has ". per se" effects on cells and tissues that involve epigenetic reprogramming of gene expression. In fetal tissues, epigenetic changes occur genome-wide and are believed to induce specific long term effects. Human…

A General Discrete Time Model of Population Dynamics in the Presence of an Infection

We present a set of difference equations which generalizes that proposed in the work of G. Izzo and A. Vecchio (2007) and represents the discrete counterpart of a larger class of continuous model concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a host population. The limiting behavior…

Adjoint Poisson-Charlier and Related polynomials

In recent papers, new sets of Sheffer and Brenke polynomials based on higher order Bell numbers have been studied, and several integer sequences related to them have been introduced. In this article other types of Sheffer polynomials are considered, by introducing the adjoint Poisson-Charlier and…

A hydro-kinetic scheme for the dynamics of hydrogen bonds in water-like fluids

General linear methods for Volterra integral equations

We investigate the class of general linear methods of order p and stage order q=p for the numerical solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Construction of highly stable methods based on the Schur criterion is described and examples of methods of order one and two which have…
