• #### A computational model of open-irrigated electrode for endocardial RF catheter ablation ﻿

(Computing in Cardiology, 2016-01-01)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an important curative treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. However, during RFCA thrombus formation can occur when the electrode-tissue interface temperature exceeds 80Â°C. Open-irrigated ...
• #### A differential equation with state-dependent delay from cell population biology ﻿

(Journal of Differential Equations, 2015-12-31)
We analyze a differential equation, describing the maturation of a stem cell population, with a state-dependent delay, which is implicitly defined via the solution of an ODE. We elaborate smoothness conditions for the model ...

(Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems- Series A, 2011-12-31)
We develop a structured population model for the maturation process of stem cells in the form of a state-dependent delay differential equation. Moreover, results on existence, uniqueness and positivity of solutions as well ...
• #### A stylized model for the continuous double auction ﻿

(Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, 2012-12-31)
A stylized phenomenological model for the continuous double auction is introduced. This model is equivalent to two uncoupled M/M/1 queues. The conditions for statistical equilibrium (ergodicity) are derived. The results ...
• #### Adapting Hybrid Monte Carlo methods for solving complex problems in life and materials sciences ﻿

(2018-05-11)
Efficient sampling is the key to success of molecular simulation of complex physical systems. Still, a unique recipe for achieving this goal is unavailable. Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) is a promising sampling tool offering a ...

(Langmuir, 2017-10-24)
The modified Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (MHMC) methods, i.e., importance sampling methods that use modified Hamiltonians within a Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) framework, often outperform in sampling efficiency standard techniques ...
• #### Analytical evaluation of the performance of contact-Based messaging applications ﻿

(Computer Networks, 2016-03-01)
Communications in mobile opportunistic networks, instead of using the Internet infrastructure, take place upon the establishment of ephemeral contacts among mobile nodes using direct communication. In this paper, we ...
• #### Anticipation via canards in excitable systems ﻿

(Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2019-01-14)
Neurons can anticipate incoming signals by exploiting a physiological mechanism that is not well understood. This article offers a novel explanation on how a receiver neuron can predict the sender’s dynamics in a ...
• #### Assessment of van der Waals inclusive density functional theory methods for layered electroactive materials ﻿

(Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2017-01-01)
Computational-driven materials discovery requires efficient and accurate methods. Density functional theory (DFT) meets these two requirements for many classes of materials. However, DFT-based methods have limitations. One ...

In a series of recent papers we demonstrated that coupled electro-mechanical effects can lead to pronounced contributions in band structure calculations of low dimensional semiconductor nanostructures (LDSNs) such as quantum ...
• #### Breast cancer dormancy can be maintained by small numbers of micrometastases ﻿

(Cancer Research, 2010-12-31)
Late relapse of breast cancer can occur more than 25 years after primary diagnosis. During the intervening years between initial treatment and relapse, occult cancers are maintained in an apparent state of dormancy that ...
• #### Brinicles as a case of inverse chemical gardens ﻿

(Langmuir, 2013-12-31)
Brinicles are hollow tubes of ice from centimeters to meters in length that form under floating sea ice in the polar oceans when dense, cold brine drains downward from sea ice to seawater close to its freezing point. When ...
