The melting of glaciers coming with climate change threatens the heritage of the last glaciation of Europe likely contained in subglacial lakes in Greenland and Svalbard. This aspect urges specialists to focus their studies (theoretical, numerical, and on-field) on such fascinating objects. Along… |

We present a numerical study of mixing and reaction efficiency in closed domains. In particular, we focus our attention on laminar flows. In the case of inert transport the mixing properties of the flows strongly depend on the details of the Lagrangian transport. We also study the reaction… |

The maximum network lifetime is a well known and studied optimization problem. The aim is to appropriately schedule the activation intervals of the individual sensing devices composing a wireless sensor network used for monitoring purposes, in order to keep the network operational for the longest… |

The field equations of the recent nonlocal generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation are presented in a form that is reminiscent of general relativity. The implications of the nonlocal field equations are studied in the case of conformally flat spacetimes. Even in this simple case, the… |

We investigate the process of biopolymer translocation through a narrow pore using a multiscale approach which explicitly accounts for the hydrodynamic interactions of the molecule with the surrounding solvent. The simulations confirm that the coupling of the correlated molecular motion to… |

Drug repurposing is a highly active research area, aiming at finding novel uses for drugs that have been previously developed for other therapeutic purposes. Despite the flourishing of methodologies, success is still partial, and different approaches offer, each, peculiar advantages. In this… |

Searching for words or sentences within large sets of textual documents can be very challenging unless an index of the data has been created in advance. However, indexing can be very time consuming especially if the text is not readily available and has to be extracted from files stored in… |

We propose here a well-balanced numerical scheme for the one-dimensional
Goldstein-Taylor system which is endowed with all the stability properties
inherent to the continuous problem and works in both rarefied and
diffusive regimes. |
