Nel presente lavoro studiamo problemi di localizzazione stocastica.

Synthetic Lethality Screening Identifies FDA-Approved Drugs That Overcome ATP7B-Mediated Tolerance of Tumor Cells to Cisplatin

Tumor resistance to chemotherapy represents an important challenge in modern oncology. Although platinum (Pt)-based drugs have demonstrated excellent therapeutic potential, their effectiveness in a wide range of tumors is limited by the development of resistance mechanisms. One of these mechanisms…

A numerical method for a Volterra-type integral equation with logarithm kernel

We consider a class of integral equations of Volterra type with constant coefficients containing a logarithmic difference kernel. This class coincides for a=0 with the Symm's euqtion. We can transform the general integral equation into an equivalent singular equation of Cauchy type which allows us…

A nonlinear parabolic-hyperbolic system for contact inhibition of cell-growth

We consider a tumor growth model involving a nonlinear system of partial differential equations which describes the growth of two types of cell population densities with contact inhibition. In one space dimension, it is known that global solutions exist and that they satisfy the so-called…

Massless spinning test particles in vacuum algebraically special spacetimes

The motion of massless spinning test particles is investigated using the Newman-Penrose formalism within the Mathisson-Papapetrou model extended to massless particles by Mashhoon and supplemented by the Pirani condition. When the \lq\lq multipole reduction world line" lies along a principal null…

Insar Maps of Land Subsidence and Sea Level Scenarios to Quantify the Flood Inundation Risk in Coastal Cities: The Case of Singapore

Global mean sea level rise associated with global warming has a major impact on coastal areas and represents one of the significant natural hazards. The Asia-Pacific region, which has the highest concentration of human population in the world, represents one of the larger areas on Earth being…

On the approximation by product rules of weakly singular double integrals over the square

Double integrals with algebraic and/or logarithmic singularities are of interest in the application of boundary element method, e.g. linear theory of the aerodynamics of slender bodies of revolution and in many other fields, for example computational electromagnetics. Therefore, the numerical…

Compression of AVHRR images by wavelet packets

AVHRR is an imager flying on polar meteorological satellites that, due to its spatial resolution (about 1 km at Nadir view), produces a huge amount of data. A method based on the wavelet packet transform is devised to compress AVHRR images. The method is driven by the compression error (application…
