Sex dimorphism in cell response to stress has previously been investigated by different research groups. This dimorphism could be at least in part accounted for by sex-biased expression of regulatory elements such as microRNAs (miRs). In order to spot previously unknown miR expression differences… |

We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann equation, for the interaction between a solid wall and a nonideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle in terms of the surface tension between the liquid-gas, the liquid-solid, and the gas-solid phases. We study the… |

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) aims at reconstructing the unknown neuroelectric activity in the brain from non-invasive measurements of the magnetic field induced by neural sources. The solution of this ill-posed, ill-conditioned inverse problem is usually dealt with using regularization techniques… |

The problem of ship manoeuvrability has reached nowadays a significant consideration, both for merchant ships, with the adoption of IMO standards, and naval ships, with the production of various documents by NATO Specialist Teams. In literature many works regarding manoeuvrability of single screw… |

We consider a thin metallic plate whose top side is inaccessible
and in contact with a corroding fluid.
Heat exchange between metal and fluid follows
linear Newton's cooling law as long as the inaccessible side is not damaged.
We assume that the effects of corrosion are modeled by means
of a… |

We present and compare some nonparametric estimation methods (wavelet and/or spline-based) designed to recover a one-dimensional piecewise-smooth regression function in both a fixed equidistant or not equidistant design regression model and a random design model. |

With road traffic in Europe forecast to increase, strategies are needed to keep transportation sector growth within the bounds imposed by a sustainable development. Research is contributing through a large number of projects dealing with transport-environment interactions. This paper reviews… |

A simple and efficient numerical method for solving the advection equation on the spherical surface is presented. To overcome the well-known pole problem related to the polar singularity of spherical
coordinates, the space discretization is performed on a geodesic grid derived by a uniform… |

Thisarticleisconcernedwiththeasymptoticbehaviorofthetwo-dimensionalinviscid Boussinesq equations with a damping term in the velocity equation. Precisely, we provide the time- decay rates of the smooth solutions to that system. The key ingredient is a careful analysis of the Green kernel of the… |
