Dixon's extended bodies and weak gravitational waves

General relativity considers Dixon’s theory as the standard theory to deal with the motion of extended bodies in a given gravitational background. We discuss here the features of the “reaction” of an extended body to the passage of a weak gravitational wave. We find that the body acquires a dipolar…

On the mean field limit for Cucker-Smale models

In this note, we consider generalizations of the Cucker-Smale dynamical system and we derive rigorously in Wasserstein's type topologies the mean-field limit (and propagation of chaos) to the Vlasov-type equation introduced in [13]. Unlike previous results on the Cucker-Smale model, our approach is…

Growth Arrest-Specific Transcript 5 associated snoRNA levels are related to p53 expression and DNA damage in colorectal cancer

Background: The growth arrest-specific transcript 5 gene (GAS5) encodes a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and hosts a number of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that have recently been implicated in multiple cellular processes and cancer. Here, we investigate the relationship between DNA damage, p53, and…

Anisotropic gravitational collapse and cosmic jets

Consider a dynamic general relativistic spacetime in which the proper infinitesimal interval along one spatial coordinate direction decreases monotonically with time, while the corresponding intervals increase along other spatial directions. In a system undergoing such complete anisotropic collapse…

Systemic Wound Healing Associated with local subCutaneous Mechanical Stimulation (vol 6, 39043, 2017)

Degeneration is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases, whose incidence grows worldwide. Current therapies attempt to control the immune response to limit degeneration, commonly promoting immunodepression. Differently, mechanical stimulation is known to trigger healing (regeneration) and it has recently…

IMPROVED APPROXIMATION OF MAXIMUM VERTEX COVERAGE PROBLEM ON BIPARTITE GRAPHS

Given a simple undirected graph G and a positive integer s, the maximum vertex coverage problem (MVC) is the problem of finding a set U of s vertices of G such that the number of edges having at least one endpoint in U is as large as possible. The problem is NP-hard even in bipartite graphs, as…

Boundedness and Asymptotic Stability for the Solution of Homogeneous Volterra Discrete Equations

We consider homogeneous linear Volterra Discrete Equations and we study the asymptotic behaviour of their solutions under hypothesis on the sign of the coefficients and of the first- and second-order differences. The results are then used to analyse the numerical stability of some classes of…

Equilibria and feedback for a hybrid model of idle speed control

Discovering coherent biclusters from gene expression data using zero-suppressed binary decision diagrams

The biclustering method can be a very useful analysis tool when some genes have multiple functions and experimental conditions are diverse in gene expression measurement. This is because the biclustering approach, in contrast to the conventional clustering techniques, focuses on finding a subset of…
