Translocation of biomolecules through solid-state nanopores: theory meets experiments

The interest in polynucleotide translocation through nanopores has moved from purely biological to the need of realizing nanobiotechnological applications related to personalized genome sequencing. Polynucleotide translocation is a process in which biomolecules, like DNA or RNA, are…

Turbulent bubbly flow

The effect of bubbles on fully developed turbulent flow is investigated numerically and experimentally, summarizing the results of our previous papers (Mazzitelli et al., 2003, Physics of Fluids15, L5. and Journal of Fluid Mechanics488, 283; Rensen, J. et al. 2005, Journal of Fluid Mechanics538,…

Evaluation of pre-processing on the meta-analysis of DNA methylation data from the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip platform

Introduction

Global dynamics of difference equations for SIR epidemic models with a class of nonlinear incidence rates

In this paper, by applying a variation of the backward Euler method, we propose a discrete-time SIR epidemic model whose discretization scheme preserves the global asymptotic stability of equilibria for a class of corresponding continuous-time SIR epidemic models. Using discrete-time analogue of…

Dimension reduction in functional regression with applications

Two dimensional reduction regression methods to predict a scalar response from a discretized sample path of a continuous time covariate process are presented. The methods take into account the functional nature of the predictor and are both based on appropriate wavelet decompositions. Using such…

A tight relation between series-parallel graphs and bipartite distance hereditary graphs

Bandelt and Mulder's structural characterization of bipartite distance hereditary graphs 16 asserts that such graphs can be built inductively starting from a single vertex and by re- 17 peatedly adding either pendant vertices or twins (i.e., vertices with the same neighborhood 18 as an existing…

Ultrathin fibers from electrospinning experiments under driven fast-oscillating perturbations

Observer-dependent tidal indicators in the Kerr spacetime

The observer-dependent tidal effects associated with the electric and magnetic parts of the Riemann tensor with respect to an arbitrary family of observers are discussed in a general spacetime in terms of certain \lq\lq tidal indicators.'' The features of such indicators are then explored by…

Elementary complexity and geometry of interaction

We introduce a geometry of interaction model given by an algebra of clauses equipped with resolution (following \cite{Girard95d}) which proofs of Elementary Linear Logic can be interpreted into. In order to extend geometry of interaction computation (the so called {\em execution formula}) to a…

An Early Stage Researcher's Primer on Systems Medicine Terminology

Background: Systems Medicine is a novel approach to medicine, i.e. an interdisciplinary field that considers the human body as a system, composed of multiple parts and of complex relationships at multiple levels, and further integrated into an environment. Exploring Systems Medicine implies…
