Motivation: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects greater than 90% of
humans benignly for life but can be associated with tumors. It is a
uniquely human pathogen that is amenable to quantitative analysis;
however, there is no applicable animal model. Computer models
may provide a virtual environment to… |

Recent numerical analyses to optimize the design of microfluidic devices for more effective entrapment or segregation of surrogate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from healthy cells have been reported in the literature without concurrently accommodating the non-Newtonian nature of the body fluid and… |

Radiances observed by the Interferometric Monitor for Greenhouse gases sounder have been used to retrieve temperature, water vapor, and ozone profiles. It is shown that the sounder allows us to simultaneously retrieve stable solutions for temperature and water vapor. Once water vapor and… |

The strongest possible norms in a priori estimates for solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems are exhibited. |

In recent papers, new sets of Sheffer and Brenke polynomials based on higher order Bell numbers have been studied, and several integer sequences related to them have been introduced. In this article other types of Sheffer polynomials are considered, by introducing the adjoint Poisson-Charlier and… |

The optical medium analogy of a radiation field generated by either an exact gravitational plane wave or an exact electromagnetic wave in the framework of general relativity is developed. The equivalent medium of the associated background field is inhomogeneous and anisotropic in the former case,… |

A mathematical model for the diffusion-transport of a substance between two porous homogeneous media of different properties and
dimensions is presented. A strong analogy with the one-dimensional transient heat conduction process across two-layered slabs is shown
and a similar methodology of… |

We numerically investigate the rheological response of a noncoalescing multiple emulsion under a symmetric shear flow. We find that the dynamics significantly depends on the magnitude of the shear rate and on the number of the encapsulated droplets, two key parameters whose control is fundamental… |

We study the dynamics of the interface between two immiscible fluids in contact with a chemically homogeneous moving solid plate. We consider the generic case of two fluids with any viscosity ratio and of a plate moving in either directions (pulled or pushed in the bath). The problem is studied by… |
