Centrosymmetric isospectral flows and some inverse eigenvalue problems

On the complexity of path problems in properly colored directed graphs

We address the complexity class of several problems related to finding a path in a properly colored directed graph. A properly colored graph is defined as a graph G whose vertex set is partitioned into X(G) stable subsets, where X(G) denotes the chromatic number of G. We show that to find a simple…

Computing the Jordan structure of an eigenvalue

In this paper we revisit the problem of finding an orthogonal similarity transformation that puts an $n\times n$ matrix $A$ in a block upper-triangular form that reveals its Jordan structure at a particular eigenvalue $\lambda_0$. The obtained form in fact reveals the dimensions of the null spaces…

The decay of homogeneous anisotropic turbulence

We present the results of a numerical investigation of three-dimensional decaying turbulence with statistically homogeneous and anisotropic initial conditions. We show that at large times, in the inertial range of scales: (i) isotropic velocity fluctuations decay self-similarly at an algebraic rate…

Momentum recoil in the relativistic two-body problem: Higher-order tails

In the description of the relativistic two-body interaction, together with the effects of energy and angular momentum losses due to the emission of gravitational radiation, one has to take into account also the loss of linear momentum, which is responsible for the recoil of the center-of-mass of…

A numerical investigation on the asymptotic behavior of discrete Volterra equations with two delays

CCl4 distribution derived from MIPAS ESA v7 data: intercomparisons, trend, and lifetime estimation

Atmospheric emissions of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are regulated by the Montreal Protocol due to its role as a strong ozone-depleting substance. The molecule has been the subject of recent increased interest as a consequence of the so-called "mystery of CCl4", the discrepancy between atmospheric…

Expanded analogy between Boltzmann Kinetic Theory of Fluids and Turbulence,

A Stk4 -Foxp3-p65 transcriptional complex promotes Treg cell activation and homeostasis.

The molecular programs involved in regulatory T (Treg) cell activation and homeostasis remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that T cell receptor (TCR) signaling in Treg cells induces the nuclear translocation of serine/threonine kinase 4 (Stk4), leading to the formation of an Stk4-NF-?B…
