Mathematical models have the potential to contribute to design and evaluate the infectivity spreading and growth of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Providing a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV infection in vivo and the immune system interactions with the virus can improve the… |

We consider a particular second-order integrodifferential boundary value problem
arising from the kinetic theory of dusty plasmas, and we provide information
on the existence and other qualitative properties of the solution that have been
essential in the numerical investigation. |

The theoretical understanding of Gartner's "hype curve" is an interesting open question in deciding the strategic actions to adopt in presence of an incoming technology. In order to describe the hype behaviour quantitatively, we propose a mathematical approach based on a rate equation, similar to… |

Amino acids (AAs) are well known to be involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and, in particular, of insulin secretion. However, the effects of different AAs on insulin release and kinetics have not been completely elucidated. The aim of this study was to propose a mathematical model that… |

We study the static and dynamical behavior of the contact line between two fluids and a solid plate by means of the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The different fluid phases and their contact with the plate are simulated by means of standard Shan-Chen models. We investigate different regimes and… |

Growth in static and controlled environments such as a Petri dish can be used to study the spatial population dynamics of microorganisms. However, natural populations such as marine microbes experience fluid advection and often grow up in heterogeneous environments. We investigate a generalized… |

Sharp constants are exhibited in exponential inequalities corresponding to the limiting case of the Sobolev inequalities in Lorentz-Sobolev spaces of arbitrary order. |

Stabilised dense emulsions display a rich phenomenology connecting microstructure and rheology. In this work, we study how an emulsion with a finite yield stress can be built via large-scale stirring. By gradually increasing the volume fraction of the dispersed minority phase, under the constant… |
