Seamless Internetworking of WLANs and Cellular Networks: architecture and performance issues in a Mobile IPv6 scenario''

We review the problem of network mobility and internetworking between heterogeneous data networks and present an approach to the integration of WLAN and cellular networks based on loose coupling and the use of emerging mobility protocols. The handoff performance of such approach is studied, at…

Numerical optimization of plasmid DNA delivery combined with hyaluronidase injection for electroporation protocol

Background and Objective: The paper focuses on the numerical strategies to optimize a plasmid DNA delivery protocol, which combines hyaluronidase and electroporation. Methods: A well-defined continuum mechanics model of muscle porosity and advanced numerical optimization strategies have been used,…

Bayesian models for the two-sample time-course microarray experiments

A truly functional Bayesian method for detecting temporally differentially expressed genes between two experimental conditions is presented. The method distinguishes between two biologically different set ups, one in which the two samples are interchangeable, and one in which the second sample is a…

The origins of causality violations in force-free simulations of black hole magnetospheres

Strong convergence of a vector-BGK model to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations via the relative entropy method

The aim of this paper is to prove the strong convergence of the solutions to a vector-BGK model under the diffusive scaling to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus. This result holds in any interval of time [0,T], with T>0. We also provide the global in time…

Multiscale coupling of molecular dynamics and hydrodynamics: Application to DNA translocation through a nanopore

We present a multiscale approach to the modeling of polymer dynamics in the presence of a fluid solvent. The approach combines Langevin molecular dynamics ( MD) techniques with a mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for the solvent dynamics. A unique feature of the present approach is that…

Excised black-holes: the scattering problem in the time domain,

EpiGEN: an epistasis simulation pipeline

Simulated data are crucial for evaluating epistasis detection tools in genome-wide association studies. Existing simulators are limited, as they do not account for linkage disequilibrium (LD), support limited interaction models of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and only dichotomous…

Viaggio nella turbolenza

Grazie alle simulazioni con i supercalcolatori, si cominciano a scoprire i meccanismi microscopici che governano il moto collettivo dei fluidi

Diffusive kinetic explicit schemes for nonlinear degenerate parabolic systems

We design numerical schemes for nonlinear degenerate parabolic systems with possibly dominant convection. These schemes are based on discrete BGK models where both characteristic velocities and the source-term depend singularly on the relaxation parameter. General stability conditions are derived,…
