We investigate the rheology of strain-hardening spherical capsules, from the dilute to
the concentrated regime under a confined shear flow using three-dimensional numerical
simulations. We consider the effect of capillary number, volume fraction and membrane inextensibility on the particle… |

We present a multiphase mathematical model for tumor growth which incorporates the remodeling of the extracellular matrix and describes the formation of fibrotic tissue by tumor cells. We also detail a full qualitative analysis of the spatially homogeneous problem, and study the equilibria of the… |

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease that results in the death of affected boys by early adulthood. The genetic defect responsible for DMD has been known for over 25 years, yet at present there is neither cure nor effective treatment for DMD. During early disease onset, the mdx… |

In a computer-aided system for skin cancer diagnosis, hair removal is one of the main challenges to face before applying a process of automatic skin lesion segmentation and classification. In this paper, we propose a straightforward method to detect and remove hair from dermoscopic images.… |

We consider an integro-differential model for evolutionary gametheory which describes the evolution of a population adopting mixed strategies.Using a reformulation based on the first moments of the solution, we provesome analytical properties of the model and global estimates. The… |

Recently, synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has been recognized as a promising tool to generate high-resolution maps of atmospherical precipitable water vapor temporal changes (Delta PWV) from the propagation delay of radar signal in atmosphere. The relationship between Delta PWV and… |

This letter investigates the possibility of removing noise in correspondence to jump discontinuities using the sorted copy of the signal. It will be proved that sorting makes noise predictable so that it can be reproduced and subtracted from the sorted noisy signal. It will be also shown that the… |

We numerically study by lattice Boltzmann simulations the rheological properties of an active emulsion made of a suspension of an active polar gel embedded in an isotropic passive background. We find that the hexatic equilibrium configuration of polar droplets is highly sensitive to both active… |

Large-scale simulations of blood flow allow for the optimal evaluation of endothelial shear stress for real-life case studies in cardiovascular pathologies. The procedure for anatomic data acquisition, geometry and
mesh generation are particularly favorable if used in conjunction with the Lattice… |
