We consider a hyperbolic conservation law with discontinuous flux.
Such a partial differential equation arises in different applications, in particu-
lar we are motivated by a model of traffic flow. We provide a new formulation
in terms of Riemann Solvers. Moreover, we determine the class of… |

Wireless sensor networks involve many different real-world contexts, such as monitoring and control tasks for traffic, surveillance, military and environmental applications, among others. Usually, these applications consider the use of a large number of low-cost sensing devices to monitor the… |

We present a solution based on a suitable combination of heuristics and parallel processing techniques for finding the best allocation of the financial assets of a pension fund, taking into account all the specific rules of the fund. We compare the values of an objective function computed with… |

We investigate the transfer properties of energy and helicity fluctuations in fully developed homogeneous and isotropic turbulence by changing the nature of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes terms. We perform a surgery of all possible interactions, by keeping only those triads that have sign-definite… |

Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are used commonly for delivering drug into diseased arteries. When applied on the inner surface of an artery, drug is transported from the balloon into the multilayer arterial wall through diffusion and advection, where it is ultimately absorbed through binding reactions… |

We present an axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model based on the Kupershtokh et al. multiphase model that is capable of solving liquid-gas density ratios up to 10(3). Appropriate source terms are added to the lattice Boltzmann evolution equation to fully recover the axisymrnetric multiphase… |

In this article we summarise present knowledge on the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines on chronic inflammation leading to organismal aging, a phenomenon we proposed to call "inflamm-aging". In particular, we review genetic data regarding polymorphisms of genes encoding for cytokines and proteins… |
