Effects of non-linear rheology on the electrospinning process: a model study

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,…

A free boundary problem arising in a simplified tumour growth model of contact inhibition

It is observed in vitro and in vivo that when two populations of different types of cells come near to each other, the rate of proliferation of most cells decreases. This phenomenon is often called contact inhibition of growth between two cells. In this paper, we consider a simplified 1-dimensional…

Linear-quadratic N-person and mean-field games: Infinite Horizon Games with Discounted Cost and Singular Limits

We consider stochastic differential games with N nearly identical players, linear-Gaussian dynamics, and infinite horizon discounted quadratic cost. Admissible controls are feedbacks for which the system is ergodic. We first study the existence of affine Nash equilibria by means of an associated…

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…

Large deviations of Poisson shot noise processes, under heavy tail semiexponential conditions

We provide large deviationsprinciple for Poisson shot noise processes, under heavy tail semiexponential conditions

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…

Simplified particulate model for coarse-grained hemodynamics simulations

Human blood flow is a multiscale problem: in first approximation, blood is a dense suspension of plasma and deformable red cells. Physiological vessel diameters range from about one to thousands of cell radii. Current computational models either involve a homogeneous fluid and cannot track…

Non-local network dynamics via fractional graph Laplacians

We introduce non-local dynamics on directed networks through the construction of a fractional version of a non-symmetric Laplacian for weighted directed graphs. Furthermore, we provide an analytic treatment of fractional dynamics for both directed and undirected graphs, showing the possibility of…
