Stability of backward differentiation formulas for Volterra integro-differential equations.

A hybrid modified-NSGA-II VNS algorithm for the Multi-Objective Critical Disruption Path Problem

This paper considers a Multiple Objective variant of the Critical Disruption Path problem to extend its suitability in a range of security operations relying on path-based network interdiction, including flight pattern optimisation for surveillance. Given a pair of nodes s and t from the network to…

Non-locality and viscous drag effects on the shear localisation in soft-glassy materials

We study the Couette flow of a quasi-2d soft-glassy material in a Hele-Shaw geometry. The material is chosen to be above the jamming point, where a yield stress sigma(Upsilon) emerges, below which the material deforms elastically and above which it flows like a complex fluid according to a Herschel…

An affirmative answer to “Gopalsamy and Liu’s conjecture” on population models with multiple piecewise constant arguments

Generalised shot noise Cox processes

We introduce a new class of models for aggregate or clustered point patterns, which encompasses and extends most of the classical models. We derive summary statistics and simulation procedures.

Analysis of contrast-enhanced dynamic MR images of the lung

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion, susceptibility artifacts, and a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) make automatic pixel-by-pixel analysis difficult. In the present…

Uncovering the complexity of transcriptomes with RNA-Seq

In recent years, the introduction of massively parallel sequencing platforms for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) protocols, able to simultaneously sequence hundred thousand DNA fragments, dramatically changed the landscape of the genetics studies. RNA-Seq for transcriptome studies, Chip-Seq for…

Periastron shift in Weyl class spacetimes

The periastron position advance for geodesic motion in axially symmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations belonging to the Weyl class of vacuum solutions is investigated. Explicit examples corresponding to either static solutions (single Chazy-Curzon, Schwarzschild and a pair of them), or…

Tethered Semiflexible Polymer under Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear

The properties of a semiflexible polymer with fixed ends exposed to oscillatory shear flow are investigated by simulations. The two-dimensionally confined polymer is modeled as a linear bead-spring chain, and the interaction with the fluid is described by the Brownian multiparticle collision…
