Controlling the dewetting morphologies of thin liquid films by switchable substrates

Switchable and adaptive substrates emerged as valuable tools for the control of wetting and actuation of droplet motion. Here we report a computational study of the dynamics of an unstable thin liquid film deposited on a switchable substrate, modelled with a space and time varying contact angle.…

Risk assessment of atherosclerotic plaques based on global biomechanics

We present the results of a computational study of the entire left coronary system simulated both at Newtonian level and at red blood cell resolution for a sizeable number of physiological conditions. We analyze the cardiovascular implications of stenotic plaques and show that the standard clinical…

Large deviations of Poisson cluster processes

We prove scalar and sample path large deviations principles for Poisson cluster processes and apply the results to Hawkes processes.

A novel method for assessing and measuring homophily in networks through second-order statistics

We present a new method for assessing and measuring homophily in networks whose nodes have categorical attributes, namely when the nodes of networks come partitioned into classes (colors). We probe this method in two different classes of networks: (i) protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks,…

Generalized de la Vallée Poussin approximations on [-1, 1]

In this paper, a general approach to de la Vallée Poussin means is given and the resulting near best polynomial approximation is stated by developing simple sufficient conditions to guarantee that the Lebesgue constants are uniformly bounded. Not only the continuous case but also the discrete…

Ten years of MIPAS measurements with ESA Level 2 processor V6-Part 1: Retrieval algorithm and diagnostics of the products

The MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) instrument on the Envisat (Environmental satellite) satellite has provided vertical profiles of the atmospheric composition on a global scale for almost ten years. The MIPAS mission is divided in two phases: the full resolution…

Conformational freedom of proteins and the maximal probability of sets of orientations

We study the inverse problem of determining the relative orientations of the moving C- and N-terminal domains in a flexible protein from measurements of its mean magnetic susceptibility tensor ?¯ . The latter is an integral average of rotations of the corresponding magnetic susceptibility tensor…

The 0-fractional perimeter between fractional perimeters and Riesz potentials

This paper provides a unified point of view on fractional perimeters and Riesz potentials. Denoting byH? - for ? 2 .0; 1/ - the ?-fractional perimeter and by J ? - for ? 2 .(d; 0)- the ?-Riesz energies acting on characteristic functions, we prove that both functionals can be seen as limits of…

Estimation of delta-contaminated density of the random intensity of Poisson data

In the present paper, we constructed an estimator of a delta contaminated mixing density function $g(\lam)$ of an intensity $\lambda$ of the Poisson distribution. The estimator is based on an expansion of the continuous portion $g_0(\lambda)$ of the unknown pdf over an overcomplete dictionary with…
