Collective cell migration in biology and medicine

Abstract: Collective cell migration is a commonly recurring theme in biology and medicine, with examples in developmental biology, wound healing, and disease. For example, in solid tumours, new blood ...

Is Basketball Scoring Just a Random Walk?

Abstract: Watching basketball is nearly the same as watching repeating coin tossings! By analyzing recently available data from recent National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball seasons, basketb...

Evaluation of NOx emissions and ozone production due to vehicular traffic via second-order models

The aim of this talk is to introduce a method to estimate the production of ozone due to vehicular traffic. The traffic flow is modeled via the second-order Collapsed Generalized Aw-Rascle-Zhang model...

On the sticky particle solutions to the pressureless Euler system in general dimension

In this talk we consider the pressureless Euler system in dimension greater than or equal to two. Several works have been devoted to the search of solutions which satisfy the following adhesion or sti...

Models from mixture theory for biofilm growth

In this talk, we present the construction of PDE model describing the evolution of microalgae or bacteria interacting together and in interaction with their environment. These models are based on the ...

Uniqueness and non-uniqueness phenomena for the transport equation in R^d

Given d ≥ 1, T > 0 and a vector field b: [0,T] × R^d → R^d , we study the problem of uniqueness of weak solutions to the associated transport equation ∂_t u + b·∇u = 0 where u: [0,T]×R^d → R is an ...

Strauss exponent for semilinear wave equations with scattering space dependent damping

ANNULLATO It is believed or conjectured that the semilinear wave equations with scattering space dependent damping admit the Strauss critical exponent. In this work, we are devoted to showing the conj...

Equazioni del primo ordine con dati singolari

In questo seminario presenterò una serie di risultati ottenuti recentemente, in collaborazione con M. Bertsch, F. Smarrazzo e A. Tesei, riguardanti problemi del primo ordine con dati iniziali "singola...
