Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is increasingly diagnosed during childhood by the presence of renal cysts in patients with a positive familial history. No curative treatment is available and early detection and diagnosis co ...
Beam-down concentrating solar tower (BCST) is known for its merits in easy installation and maintenance as well as lower convection heat loss of the central receiver (CR) when comparing to a traditional concentrated solar tower system. A point-line-couplin ...
We provide the currently fastest randomized (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the closest vector problem in the infinity-norm. The running time of our method depends on the dimension n and the approximation guarantee epsilon by 2^(O(n))(log(1/epsilon ...

We present an in-depth analysis of the geometrical percolation behavior in the continuum of random assemblies of hard oblate ellipsoids of revolution. Simulations were carried out by considering a broad range of aspect-ratios, from spheres up to aspect-rat ...
Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...
In this paper, we provide the first linear programming formulations for the stable set problem in claw-free graphs, together with polynomial time separation routines for those formulations (they are not compact). We then exploit one of those extended formu ...
A model allowing to describe motion and coalescence of gas bubbles in a liquid under the action of gravitation and surface tension is proposed. The shape of the bubbles is described by a pre-defined family of mappings, for example ellipsoids with a fixed v ...
It is known that for a convex body K in R-d of volume one, the expected volume of random simplices in K is minimized if K is an ellipsoid, and for d = 2, maximized if K is a triangle. Here we provide corresponding stability estimates. ...
