Background: Direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAA) regimen improve the SVR rate. However, adverse effects often lead to therapy interruption. This underlines the importance to find some predictive parameters of response in order to consider the possibility of a shorter time of antiviral treatment in… |

We present a detailed numerical study of anisotropic statistical fluctuations in stationary, homogeneous turbulent flows. We address both problems of intermittency in anisotropic sectors, and the relative importance of isotropic and anisotropic fluctuations at different scales on a direct numerical… |

The achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in ultracold vapors of alkali atoms has accelerated the study of dilute atomic gases in condensed quantum states. This review introduces some key issues in the area. |

A novel approach for extracting gauge-invariant information about spin-orbit coupling in gravitationally interacting binary systems is introduced. This approach is based on the "scattering holonomy", i.e. the integration (from the infinite past to the infinite future) of the differential spin… |

We show that causality violation in a Kerr naked singularity spacetime is constrained by the existence of (radial) potential barriers. We extend to the class of vortical non-equatorial null geodesics confined to $$\theta $$? $$=$$= constant hyperboloids (boreal orbits) previous results concerning… |

Using a combination of Kawashima- and Goodman-type energy estimates, we establish spectral stability of general small-amplitude relaxation shocks of symmetric dissipative systems. This extends previous results obtained by Plaza and Zumbrun [8] by singular perturbation techniques under an additional… |

Thermal and mechanical energy storage is pivotal for the effective exploitation of renewable energy sources, thus fostering the transition to a sustainable economy. Hydrogen-based systems are among the most promising solutions for electrical energy storage. However, several technical and economic… |

Numerical simulations were conducted to determine the effects of flat-edge and curved-edge channel wall obstacles on the vortex entrapment of uniform-size particles in a microchannel with a T-shape divergent flow zone at different flow Reynolds numbers (Re). Two-particle simulations with a non-… |

Pencils of matrices whose elements have a joint noncentral Gaussian distribution with
nonidentical covariance are considered. An approximation to the distribution of the
squared modulus of their determinant is computed which allows to get a closed form
approximation of the condensed density of the… |
