Modeling complex dependence using gluing and vine copulas

Bivariate dependence may be of such complexity that no single family of known parametric copulas is able to give an acceptable goodnes of fit. The gluing copula approach may be of good help in decompo...

On the role of ultramodularity (and Schur concavity) in the construction of binary copulas

We discuss and stress the role of ultramodularity in special types of constructions of binary copulas. After recalling of some known ultamodularity-based results, we focus on a the so-called D-product...

1D and multi-d Burgers Turbulence as a model case for the Kolmogorov Theory

The Kolmogorov 1941 theory (K41) is, in a way, the starting point for all models of turbulence. In particular, K41 and corrections to it provide estimates of small-scale quantities such as increments ...

Large deviations of the empirical current in zero-range processes on a ring.

We examine atypical current fluctuations in totally asymmetric zero-range processes in one dimension with periodic boundary conditions. The zero-range processes is a stochastic lattice gas in which ea...

Use and misuse of mathematics in economic theory

Abstract: In recent decades the role of mathematics in then analysis of economic and financial phenomena has greatly increased.Unfortunately, the effects of such a process have not always been positiv...

Make a seismograph with your GPS: from the academic idea to the industrial product

 Abstract: The Global Positioning System, shortened in the acronym GPS, is a quite familiar tool, more or less secretly working into our car navigators and smartphones/tablets, and continuously u...

The ultimate mystery is ourselves: the fascinating challenge of computational biology

Abstract: The computational analysis and interpretation of the wealth of biological data that is being produced every day is a cogent problem in the life sciences. The task can be mapped to an enginee...

HERPES ZOSTER (Exogenous boosting, progressive immunity and the dilemma of mass varicella immunization)

CANCELLATOAbstract: Herpes zoster (HZ) is a painful disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus(VZV) as cell mediated  immunity (CMI) goes down (e.g. with ageing). Hope-Simps...

Unicellular swimmers: from mathematical modelling to biology and robotics

Abstract: Euglenids are unicellular aquatic organisms capable of moving either by beating a flagellum or by executing dramatic shape changes. These are accomplished thanks to a complex structure under...

Un modello matematico per le sfere cellulari cardiache (Cardiosfere)

       Abstract:Le cardiosfere sono state descritte per la prima volta da Messina et al. nel 2004, e rappresentano una sorta di microtessuto, di nicchia cellulare di...
