Vesicles are involved in a vast variety of transport processes in living organisms. Additionally, they serve as a model for the dynamics of cell suspensions. Predicting the rheological properties of their suspensions is still an open question, as even the interaction of pairs is yet to be fully… |

The motion of a massive test particle inside a thermal (test) photon gas is studied near a
Schwarzschild black hole, leading to a novel description of the effect of radiation scattering
on the particle trajectory, responsible for half of the Poynting-Robertson effect: the azimuthal radiation… |

We generalize a result of Dar{\'o}czy and K{\'a}tai,
on the characterization of univoque numbers with respect
to a non-integer base \cite{DarKat95}
by relaxing the digit alphabet to a generic set of real numbers.
We apply the result to derive the construction of a B\"uchi automaton
accepting all… |

In this paper, we present a novel hybrid metaheuristic for the Knapsack Problem with Forfeits (KPF). KPF is a recently introduced generalization of the Knapsack Problem. In this variant, a penalty cost incurs whenever both items composing a so-called forfeit pair belong to the solution. Our… |

We analytically compute, through the six-and-a-half post-Newtonian order, the second-order-in-eccentricity piece of the Detweiler-Barack-Sago gauge-invariant redshift function for a small mass in eccentric orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. Using the first law of mechanics for eccentric… |

Organisms often grow, migrate and compete in liquid environments, as well as on solid surfaces. However, relatively little is known about what happens when competing species are mixed and compressed by fluid turbulence. In these lectures we review our recent work on population dynamics and… |

Reproducible (computational) Research is crucial to produce transparent and high quality scientific papers. First, we illustrate the benefits that scientific community can receive from the adoption of Reproducible Research standards in the analysis of high-throughput omic data. Then, we describe… |

We study the effects of a controlled gas flow on the dynamics of electrified jets in the electrospinning process. The main idea is to model the air drag effects of the gas flow by using a nonlinear Langevin-like approach. The model is employed to investigate the dynamics of electrified polymer jets… |
