NeuroPycon: An open-source python toolbox for fast multi-modal and reproducible brain connectivity pipelines

Recent years have witnessed a massive push towards reproducible research in neuroscience. Unfortunately, this endeavor is often challenged by the large diversity of tools used, project-specific custom code and the difficulty to track all user-defined parameters. NeuroPycon is an open-source multi-…

Multiphase modelling of tumour growth and extracellular matrix interaction: Mathematical tools and applications

Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid. The model presented in this article focuses mainly…

Second-order closure in stratified turbulence: Simulations and modeling of bulk and entrainment regions

The parametrization of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in convective systems and in the presence of strong stratification is a key issue for many applied problems in oceanography, atmospheric science, and planetology. In the presence of stratification, one needs to cope with bulk turbulent…

Neural Network Approach to Forecast Hourly Intense Rainfall Using GNSS Precipitable Water Vapor and Meteorological Sensors

This work presents a methodology for the short-term forecast of intense rainfall based on a neural network and the integration of Global Navigation and Positioning System (GNSS) and meteorological data. Precipitable water vapor (PWV) derived from GNSS is combined with surface pressure, surface…

ZFP57 recognizes multiple and closely spaced sequence motif variants to maintain repressive epigenetic marks in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Imprinting Control Regions (ICRs) need to maintain their parental allele-specific DNA methylation during early embryogenesis despite genome-wide demethylation and subsequent de novo methylation. ZFP57 and KAP1 are both required for maintaining the repressive DNA methylation and H3-lysine-9-…

Lattice BGK formulation of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation

Hamiltonian equations for scale-invariant waves

We use a Hamiltonian formalism to derive equations for weakly nonlinear scale-invariant waves. We apply the results to nonlinear surface waves in elasticity and magnetohydrodynamics that satisfy nonlocal generalizations of the inviscid Burgers equation.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ASYMPTOTICALLY CONVOLUTION EVOLUTIONARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

Asymptotically convolution Volterra equations are characterized by kernel functions which exponentially decay to convolution ones. Their importance in the applications motivates a numerical analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the solution. Here the quasi-convolution nature of the kernel is…

JETSPIN: A specific-purpose open-source software for simulations of nanofiber electrospinning

We present the open-source computer program JETSPIN, specifically designed to simulate the electro-spinning process of nanofibers. Its capabilities are shown with proper reference to the underlying model, as well as a description of the relevant input variables and associated test-case simulations…

Transient radiative transfer in the grey case: Well-balanced and asymptotic-preserving schemes built on Case’s elementary solutions

An original well-balanced (WB) Godunov scheme relying on an exact Riemann solver involving a non-conservative (NC) product is developed. It is meant to solve accurately the time-dependent one-dimensional radiative transfer equation in the discrete ordinates approximation with an arbitrary even…
