Sheared phase-separating binary mixtures with surface diffusion

The phase-separation process of a binary mixture with order-parameter-dependent mobility under shear flow is numerically studied. The ordering is characterized by an alternate stretching and bursting of domains which produce oscillations in the physical observables. The amplitude of such…

The dynamics of p53 in single cells: physiologically based ODE and reaction-diffusion PDE models

The intracellular signalling network of the p53 protein plays important roles in genome protection and the control of cell cycle phase transitions. Recently observed oscillatory behaviour in single cells under stress conditions has inspired several research groups to simulate and study the dynamics…

A note on equilibrium boundary conditions in lattice Boltzmann fluid dynamic simulations

The epigenetics of inflammaging: The contribution of age-related heterochromatin loss and locus-specific remodelling and the modulation by environmental stimuli

A growing amount of evidences indicates that inflammaging - the chronic, low grade inflammation state characteristic of the elderly - is the result of genetic as well as environmental or stochastic factors. Some of these, such as the accumulation of senescent cells that are persistent during aging…

A two-dimensional version of the Godunov scheme for convex, scalar balance laws

A Godunov scheme is derived for two-dimensional scalar conservation laws without or with source terms following ideas originally proposed by Boukadida and LeRoux [Math. Comput., 63 (1994), pp. 541-553] in the context of a staggered Lax-Friedrichs scheme. In both situations, the numerical fluxes are…

Unstructured lattice Boltzmann method for hemodynamics flows with shear-dependent viscosity

CHOP and c-JUN up-regulate the mutant Z ? 1-antitrypsin, exacerbating its aggregation and liver proteotoxicity

?1-Antitrypsin (AAT) encoded by the SERPINA1 gene is an acute-phase protein synthesized in the liver and secreted into the circulation. Its primary role is to protect lung tissue by inhibiting neutrophil elastase. The Z allele of SERPINA1 encodes a mutant AAT, named ATZ, that changes the protein…

From generalized kinetic theory to discrete velocity modeling of vehicular traffic. A stochastic game approach

This work reports on vehicular traffic modeling by methods of the discrete kinetic theory. The purpose is to detail a reference mathematical framework for some discrete velocity kinetic models recently introduced in the literature, which proved capable of reproducing interesting traffic phenomena…

On Relaxation Hyperbolic Systems Violating the Shizuta-Kawashima Condition

In this paper, we start a general study on relaxation hyperbolic systems which violate the Shizuta-Kawashima ([SK]) coupling condition. This investigation is motivated by the fact that this condition is not satisfied by various physical sys- tems, and almost all the time in several space dimensions…
