Cerebral Glucose Transport and Homeostasis

Cerebral glucose homeostasis is maintained by the equilibrium between glucose transport across the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), which occurs through facilitative carriers, and glucose consumption mainly initiated by hexokinase phosphorylation. Glucose concen ...

Electrochemical Simulation of the Current and Potential Response in Sliding Tribocorrosion

Stefano Mischler

Valuable insights into the wear-corrosion behavior of metals, as well as into the tribocorrosion field through the development of simulation models of tribocorrosion experiments, can contribute in rationalizing wear-accelerated experiments and their open c ...

Optimal process plan selection in networked based manufacturing using game-theoretic approach

Naoufel Cheikhrouhou

This paper proposes a scheme for generating optimal process plans for multi jobs in a networked based manufacturing system. Networked manufacturing offers several advantages in the current competitive atmosphere such as reducing short manufacturing cycle t ...

A two-compartment mathematical model of neuroglial metabolism using [1-C-11] acetate

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz

The purpose of this study was to develop a two-compartment metabolic model of brain metabolism to assess oxidative metabolism from [1-C-11] acetate radiotracer experiments, using an approach previously applied in C-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), ...

How do plant community ecologists consider the complementarity of observational, experimental and theoretical approaches ?

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Aurélie Thébault

Background and aims -- A panoply of methods are used by ecologists for studies at the plant community level. While early studies were mainly descriptive, more manipulative experiments are now being undertaken because they provide a more functional approach ...

Extracting Mobile Behavioral Patterns with the Distant N-Gram Topic Model

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Katayoun Farrahi

Mining patterns of human behavior from large-scale mobile phone data has potential to understand certain phenomena in society. The study of such human-centric massive datasets requires new mathematical models. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic topi ...

Exploration of trade-offs between steady-state and dynamic properties in signaling cycles

Dominique Bonvin, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Benoît Chachuat, Andrijana Radivojevic

In the intracellular signaling networks that regulate important cell processes, the base pattern comprises the cycle of reversible phosphorylation of a protein, catalyzed by kinases and opposing phosphatases. Mathematical modeling and analysis have been us ...

Assessing vaccination sentiments with online social media: implications for infectious disease dynamics and control

Marcel Salathé

There is great interest in the dynamics of health behaviors in social networks and how they affect collective public health outcomes, but measuring population health behaviors over time and space requires substantial resources. Here, we use publicly availa ...

Mathematical modelling for the evolution of aeolian dunes formed by a mixture of sands: entrainment-deposition formulation

Fabio Nobile, Luca Formaggia

In this work we present a mathematical model of the evolution of aeolian sand dunes, in particular we consider the case of dunes formed by a mixture of sands with different characteristics. We first recall a basic model for the evolution of two dimensional ...

Modelling human movement in cholera spreading along fluvial systems

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

We propose an important extension of a previously studied, spatially explicit and hydrology-driven, model of cholera spreading. Our reformulation concerns the role of different modelizations of human movement on the overall dynamics of the epidemics, which ...
