Dynamical scenarios from a two-patch predator-prey system with human control - Implications for the conservation of the wolf in the Alta Murgia National Park

We evaluate a mathematical model of the predator-prey population dynamics in a fragmented habitat where both migration processes between habitat patches and prey control policies are taken into account. The considered system is examined by applying the aggregation method and different dynamical…

Refraction index analysis of light propagation in a colliding gravitational wave spacetime

The optical medium analogy of a given spacetime was developed decades ago and has since then been widely applied to different gravitational contexts. Here we consider the case of a colliding gravitational wave spacetime, generalizing previous results concerning single gravitational pulses. Given…

The core-radius approach to supercritical fractional perimeters, curvatures and geometric flows

We consider a core-radius approach to nonlocal perimeters governed by isotropic kernels having critical and supercritical exponents, extending the nowadays classical notion of s-fractional perimeter, defined for 0<s<1, to the case s>=1. We show that, as the core-radius vanishes, such core-…

Error estimates for polynomial Krylov approximations to matrix functions

In this paper we are interested in the polynomial Krylov approximations for the computation of phi(A)upsilon, where A is a square matrix, v represents a given vector, and. is a suitable function which can be employed in modern integrators for differential problems. Our aim consists of proposing and…

Three-Dimensional Lattice Pseudo-Potentials for Multiphase Flow Simulations at High Density Ratios

It is shown that the combination of generalized Van der Waals equations of state with high-order discrete velocity lattices, permits to simulate the dynamics of liquid droplets at air-water density ratios, with very moderate levels of spurious currents near the droplet interface. Satisfactory…

A mathematical model of skeletal muscle disease and immune response in the mdx mouse

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease that results in the death of affected boys by early adulthood. The genetic defect responsible for DMD has been known for over 25 years, yet at present there is neither cure nor effective treatment for DMD. During early disease onset, the mdx…

Hydrodynamic and geometric effects in the sedimentation of model run-and-tumble microswimmers

The sedimentation process in an active suspension is the result of the competition between gravity and the autonomous motion of particles. We carry out simulations of run-and-tumble squirmers that move in a fluid medium, focusing on the dependence of the non-equilibrium steady state on the swimming…

An existence theorem for the magneto-viscoelastic problem

Endothelial shear stress from large-scale blood flow simulations

We discuss the optimal evaluation of endothelial shear stress for real-life case studies based on anatomic data acquisition. The fluid dynamic simulations require smoothing of the geometric dataset to avoid major artefacts in the flow patterns, especially in the proximity of bifurcations. A…

Maps of PWV Temporal Changes by SAR Interferometry: A Study on the Properties of Atmosphere&#039;s Temperature Profiles

Recently, synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has been recognized as a promising tool to generate high-resolution maps of atmospherical precipitable water vapor temporal changes (Delta PWV) from the propagation delay of radar signal in atmosphere. The relationship between Delta PWV and…
