Well-posedness of a model of nonhomogeneous compressible-incompressible fluids

We propose a model of a density-dependent compressible-incompressible fluid, which is intended as a simplified version of models based on mixture theory as, for instance, those arising in the study of biofilms, tumor growth and vasculogenesis. Though our model is, in some sense, close to the…

Front speed in reactive compressible stirred media

We investigated a nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equation for a passive scalar field. The purpose is to understand how the compressibility can affect the front dynamics and the bulk burning rate. We study two classes of flows: periodic shear flow and cellular flow, analyzing the system by…

A comparison of single-time relaxation Lattice Boltzmann schemes with enhanced stability

Identification of noninvasive imaging surrogates for brain tumor gene-expression modules

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is,the most common and lethal primary brain tumor in adults. We combined neuroimaging and DNA microarray analysis to create a multidimensional map of gene-expression patterns in GBM that provided clinically relevant insights into tumor biology. Tumor contrast…

Combining pathway identification and breast cancer survival prediction via screening-network methods

Breast cancer is one of the most common invasive tumors causing high mortality among women. It is characterized by high heterogeneity regarding its biological and clinical characteristics. Several high-throughput assays have been used to collect genome-wide information for many patients in large…

Blind source separation and automatic tissue typing of microdiffraction data by hierarchical nonnegative matrix factorization

In this article a nonnegative blind source separation technique, known as nonnegative matrix factorization, is applied to microdiffraction data in order to extract characteristic patterns and to determine their spatial distribution in tissue typing problems occurring in bone-tissue engineering. In…

A mathematical model simulating the effect of vaccine induced responses on HIV-1 infection.

Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation and Degradation on the Innate Immune System Response: Insights on SARS-CoV-2

Vitamin D has been proven to be a strong stimulator of mechanisms associated with the elimination of pathogens. Because of its recognized effectiveness against viral infections, during SARS-CoV-2 infection, the effects of Vitamin D supplementation have been the object of debate. This study aims to…

Multiscale anisotropic fluctuations in sheared turbulence with multiple states

We use high-resolution direct numerical simulations to study the anisotropic contents of a turbulent, statistically homogeneous flow with random transitions among multiple energy containing states. We decompose the velocity correlation functions on different sectors of the three-dimensional group…

Retrieval of temperature vertical profile from radiance spectra by the inversion of radiative transfer equation

Inversion of the radiative transfer equation to retrieve the vertical profile of temperature from high resolution radiance spectra is an important problem in remote sensing of atmosphere. Because of its non linearity and ill conditioning, regularization techniques have been resorted in order to…
