Application of the HLSVD Technique to the Filtering of X-Ray Diffraction Data

A filter based on the Hankel-Lanczos singular value decomposition (HLSVD) technique is presented and applied for the first time to X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Synthetic and real powder XRD intensity profiles of nanocrystals are used to study the filter performances with different noise levels.…

Network, degeneracy and bow tie integrating paradigms and architectures to grasp the complexity of the immune system

Recently, the network paradigm, an application of graph theory to biology, has proven to be a powerful approach to gaining insights into biological complexity, and has catalyzed the advancement of systems biology. In this perspective and focusing on the immune system, we propose here a more…

Hydrodynamic singular regimes in 1+1 kinetic models and spectral numerical methods

Classical results from spectral theory of stationary linear kinetic equations are applied to efficiently approximate two physically relevant weakly nonlinear kinetic models: a model of chemotaxis involving a biased velocity-redistribution integral term, and a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) system. Both…

Wavelet density estimation for weighted data

We consider the estimation of a density function on the basis of a random sample from a weighted distribution. We propose linear and nonlinear wavelet density estimators, and provide their asymptotic formulae for mean integrated squared error. In particular, we derive an analogue of the asymptotic…

Cardiac function in adolescents and young adults with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome without congenital heart disease

Background Diagnosis and treatment of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) have led to improved life expectancy and achievement of adulthood. Limited data on long-term outcomes reported an increased risk of premature death for cardiovascular causes, even without congenital heart disease (CHD).…

Analysis of propeller bearing loads by CFD. Part II: Transient maneuvers

The numerical study presented in Part I (Dubbioso et al., 2017) on the bearing loads developed by the propellers of a twin screw model during quasi-steady conditions is extended to transient maneuvers. In the previous study, numerical simulations highlighted that the hydrodynamic loads might…

Modeling of vortex dynamics in the wake of a marine propeller

The flow past a rotating marine propeller is analyzed with the aim of establishing limits and capabilities and, hence, the field of applicability of different turbulence modeling approaches for this class of prob- lems. To this purpose the eddy viscosity model of Spalart and Allmaras (1994) [1] and…

Computer-aided monitoring of buildings of historical importance based on color

Wall accumulation of bacteria with different motility patterns

We systematically investigate the role of different swimming patterns on the concentration distribution of bacterial suspensions confined between two flat walls, by considering wild-type motility Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which perform Run and Tumble and Run and Reverse patterns…
