A genome-wide study on differential methylation in different cancers using TCGA database

Background: DNA methylation is the main epigenetic mechanism driving changes in phenotype without altering genotype. Since the end of the seventies the role of methylation in cancer has become increasingly clear. Objective: The aim of this work is to shed light on the impact of methylation events…

Coupling quadrature and continuous Runge-Kutta methods for optimal control problems

This paper deals with the numerical solution of optimal control problems for ODEs. The approach is based on the coupling between quadrature rules and continuous Runge-Kutta solvers and it lies in the framework of direct optimization methods and recursive discretization techniques. The…

Bioinspired synthesis of CaCO3 superstructures through a novel hydrogel composite membranes mineralization platform: a comprehensive view

Hydrogel composite membranes (HCMs) are used as novel mineralization platforms for the bioinspired synthesis of CaCO3 superstructures. A comprehensive statistical analysis of experimental results revealed quantitative relationships between crystallization conditions and crystal texture and the…

Anisotropic Diffusion and Curve Evolution for Segmentation of Color Images in Cultural Heritage

Positive solutions to the sublinear Lane-Emden equation are isolated

We prove that on a smooth bounded set, the positive least energy solution of the Lane-Emden equation with sublinear power is isolated. As a corollary, we obtain that the first (Formula presented.) eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian is not an accumulation point of the (Formula presented.)…

A multispeed Discrete Boltzmann Model for transcritical 2D shallow water flows

In this work a Discrete Boltzmann Model for the solution of transcritical 2D shallow water flows is presented and validated. In order to provide the model with transcritical capabilities, a particular multispeed velocity set has been employed for the discretization of the Boltzmann equation. It is…

Identification and validation of viral antigens sharing sequence and structural homology with tumor-associated antigens (TAAs)

Background The host's immune system develops in equilibrium with both cellular self-antigens and non-self-antigens derived from microorganisms which enter the body during lifetime. In addition, during the years, a tumor may arise presenting to the immune system an additional pool of non-self-…
