Global existence of smooth solutions to a two-dimensional hyperbolic model of chemotaxis

Three-stage multiscale modelling of the NMDA neuroreceptor

We present a new multistage method to study the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) neuroreceptor starting from the reconstruction of its crystallographic structure. Thanks to the combination of Homology Modelling, Molecular Dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann simulations, we analyse the allosteric transition…

Viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation arising from a thin film blistering model

Mutation, fitness, viral diversity and predictive markers of disease progression in a computational model of HIV-1 infection

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a computational model of HIV infection able to simulate the natural history of the disease and to test predictive parameters of disease progression. Design: We describe the results of a numerical simulation of the cellular and humoral immune response…

Beppo Levi attraverso i ricordi della figlia Emilia

Intervista alla figlia di Beppo Levi (Emilia Resta) in occasione dei 140 anni dalla sua nascita. Nel breve articolo di presentazione viene anche ricordato il fratello di Beppo Levi, Eugenio Elia noto e geniale matematico che ebbe breve vita immolata al fronte durante la Grande Guerra. All'interno…

A minimization approach to the wave equation on time-dependent domains

We prove the existence of weak solutions to the homogeneous wave equation on a suitable class of time-dependent domains. Using the approach suggested by De Giorgi and developed by Serra and Tilli, such solutions are approximated by minimizers of suitable functionals in space-time.

AntiCheetah: Trustworthy computing in an outsourced (cheating) environment

The increasing need for performing expensive computations has motivated outsourced computing, as in crowdsourced applications leveraging worker cloud nodes. However, these outsourced computing nodes can potentially misbehave or fail. Exploiting the redundancy of nodes can help guaranteeing…

Simulating the effect of vaccine-induced immune responses on HIV infection.

The need for anti-HIV-1 vaccines is universally recognized. Although several potential vaccine formulations are being tested in clinical trials, the complexity of the viral system and the length of the experimentation required and its costs makes the goal of obtaining such a vaccine still elusive.…
