Onion under Microscope: An in-depth analysis of the Tor Web

Tor is an open source software that allows accessing various kinds of resources, known as hidden services, while guaranteeing sender and receiver anonymity. Tor relies on a free, worldwide, overlay network, managed by volunteers, that works according to the principles of onion routing in which…

An overview of the Mumford-Shah Problem

Late-time evolution of cosmological models with fluids obeying a Shan-Chen-like equation of state

Classical as well as quantum features of the late-time evolution of cosmological models with fluids obeying a Shan-Chen-like equation of state are studied. The latter is of the type p=weff(?)? and has been used in previous works to describe, e.g., a possible scenario for the growth of the dark-…

Global existence of smooth solutions of the N-dimensional Euler-Poisson model

The global existence of smooth solutions of the Cauchy problem for the $N$-dimensional Euler-Poisson model for semiconductors is established, under the assumption that the initial data is a perturbation of a stationary solution of the drift-diffusion equations with zero electron velocity, which is…

Advancements in RNASeqGUI towards a Reproducible Analysis of RNA-Seq Experiments

We present the advancements and novelties recently introduced in RNASeqGUI, a graphical user interface that helps biologists to handle and analyse large data collected in RNA-Seq experiments. This work focuses on the concept of reproducible research and shows how it has been incorporated in…

Some remarks on first and second order stochastic processes choice

A comparison between A(1) and A(2) processes, when used for describing the evolution in time of the global rate of return on investments made by an insurance company, is proposed. In particular, we compare the two processes analysing the parameter sensibility to the size of the sampling interval.…

On the properties of a bundle of flexible actin filaments in an optical trap

We establish the statistical mechanics framework for a bundle of N-f living and uncrosslinked actin filaments in a supercritical solution of free monomers pressing against a mobile wall. The filaments are anchored normally to a fixed planar surface at one of their ends and, because of their limited…

Ordering of the lamellar phase under a shear flow

The dynamics of a system quenched into a state with lamellar order and subject to an uniform shear flow is solved in the large-N limit. The description is based on the Brazovskii free energy and the evolution follows a convection-diffusion equation. Lamellas order preferentially with the normal…

LBcuda: A high-performance CUDA port of LBsoft for simulation of colloidal systems

We present LBcuda, a GPU accelerated version of LBsoft, our open-source MPI-based software for the simulation of multi-component colloidal flows. We describe the design principles, the optimization and the resulting performance as compared to the CPU version, using both an average cost GPU and high…
