Mining Relevant Information on the Web: A Clique Based Approach

The role of information management and retrieval in production processes has been gaining in importance in recent years. In this context, the ability to search for and quickly find the small piece of information needed from the huge amount of information available has crucial importance. One…

Pumping a swing by standing and squatting: do children

We set a control model to study the biomechanical problem of swing pumping. After describing the sytem, we provide the solution to some optimal control problems.

Existence and uniqueness for a p-laplacian nonlinear eigenvalue problem

We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem, (the eigenfunction) and ? > 0 (the eigen value), ? is an arbitrary domain in RN with finite measure, 1 < p < ?, 1 < q < p*, p* = Np/(N - p) if 1 < p < N and p* = ? if p >= N. We study several existence and uniqueness results as…

Hybrid lattice Boltzmann method on overlapping grids

In this work, a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (HLBM) is proposed, where the standard lattice Boltzmann implementation based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK) approximation is combined together with an unstructured finite-volume lattice Boltzmann model. The method is constructed on an…

Fast deconvolution with approximated PSF by RSTLS with antireflective boundary conditions

The problem of reconstructing signals and images from degraded ones is considered in this paper. The latter problem is formulated as a linear system whose coefficient matrix models the unknown point spread function and the right hand side represents the observed image. Moreover, the coefficient…

Divide &amp; Conquer Algorithms for Computing the Eigendecomposition of Symmetric Diagonal-plus-Semiseparable Matrices

Drag and lift coefficients of ellipsoidal particles under rarefied flow conditions

The capability to simulate a two-way coupled interaction between a rarefied gas and an arbitrary-shaped colloidal particle is important for many practical applications, such as aerospace engineering, lung drug delivery, and semiconductor manufacturing. By means of numerical simulations based on the…

Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells exposed to hyperthermia show a distinct gene expression profile and selective upregulation of IGFBP6

Fever plays a role in activating innate immunity while its relevance in activating adaptive immunity is less clear. Even brief exposure to elevated temperatures significantly impacts on the immunostimulatory capacity of dendritic cells (DCs), but the consequences on immune response remain unclear.…

Interplay between Shape and Roughness in Early-Stage Microcapillary Imbibition

Numerical modeling of iron corrosion due to an acidic aqueous solution
