Predictability of drug encapsulation and release from propylene carbonate/PLGA microparticles.
2020
Abstract Key parameters for microparticle-based parenteral depot formulation development are entrapment efficiency and sustained drug release, which both depend on the intermolecular affinity of the components. Here, partial solubility parameters were evaluated as descriptors for 21 drug substances and 3 polymers in propylene carbonate (PC). Out of these 21 drug substances, eight BCS class II substances (celecoxib, clotrimazole, erythromycin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, itraconazole, lopinavir and ritonavir) were encapsulated using PLGA (Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide)) as polymer matrix and PC as a polar aprotic solvent in order to assign microparticle properties to potential affinity-related i…
One diode circuital model of light soaking phenomena in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
2018
Abstract In this work, we report on the modelling of light soaking effect on Ruthenium-based Dye Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Such a phenomenon can be detected when exposing the cells at increasing hours of illumination and produces a reversible performance increase. Starting from the results obtained through the electro-optical characterization of the cells, we applied a one-diode circuital-model. Our results show a good agreement between the experimental and the simulated data, with a mean square error in the order of 10−12 and a maximum error in current lower than 0.6%. Finally such results allowed us to infer some precise trends followed by the cells main electrical parameters and of…
Hub-Centered Gene Network Reconstruction Using Automatic Relevance Determination
2012
Network inference deals with the reconstruction of biological networks from experimental data. A variety of different reverse engineering techniques are available; they differ in the underlying assumptions and mathematical models used. One common problem for all approaches stems from the complexity of the task, due to the combinatorial explosion of different network topologies for increasing network size. To handle this problem, constraints are frequently used, for example on the node degree, number of edges, or constraints on regulation functions between network components. We propose to exploit topological considerations in the inference of gene regulatory networks. Such systems are often…

Conformal transformations and weak field limit of scalar-tensor gravity
2013
The weak field limit of scalar tensor theories of gravity is discussed in view of conformal transformations. Specifically, we consider how physical quantities, like gravitational potentials derived in the Newtonian approximation for the same scalar-tensor theory, behave in the Jordan and in the Einstein frame. The approach allows to discriminate features that are invariant under conformal transformations and gives contributions in the debate of selecting the true physical frame. As a particular example, the case of $f(R)$ gravity is considered.

Asset price dynamics in a “bull and bear market”
2021
Abstract We generalize an existing asset market model with heterogenous agents. In particular, we consider the case in which no-trade and low-trade intervals of chartists and fundamentalists respectively are not congruent. Thus we model chartist and fundamentalists who respond to asset prices in agent-specific neighborhoods around the fundamental value with different trade intensities. The resulting asset price dynamics is generated by a one-dimensional 5-piece linear map with discontinuities. Our analysis of this map focusses on coexisting price equilibria. Conditions for their existence and stability are determined analytically. By visualizing the results we allow for a basic bifurcation …
Noise-induced transitions in a stochastic Goodwin-type business cycle model
2017
Abstract We motivate and specify a stochastic Goodwin-type business cycle model. Our analysis focusses on a subset of the parameter space where several attractors coexist. Applying a semi-numerical approach based on the stochastic sensitivity function and confidence domains due to Milstein and Ryashko (1995) , we study random transitions between stable attractors in the context of the Goodwin-type economy embedded in an uncertain environment. Relying on a mix of analytical considerations and simulations we demonstrate that under weak noise levels regime switching is a prominent feature in the presence of low saving rates. Moreover, we explain how increased uncertainty can induce an essentia…
Proton-Hydrogen Charge Exchange and Elastic Scattering in the Faddeev Approach
2000
Results of the application of Faddeev-type integral equations to proton-hydrogen collisions are reported. The approach, realized in the impact parameter representation, incorporates the exact two-particle off-shell Coulomb T-matrices in all ‘triangle’ contributions to the effective potentials. Calculatedtotal and differential electron-transfer as well as differential elastic scattering cross sections show very good agreement with experiment, over a wide range of incident energies.
