Background: The identification of essential genes is important for the understanding of the minimal requirements for cellular life and for practical purposes, such as drug design. However, the experimental techniques for ...

Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems that provide a mathematical framework for modelling, studying and predicting the behaviour and response of systems across many different disciplines and domains, ranging ...

The efficacy of biological control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is analyzed. This approach has shown to be very efficient on agricultural plagues and has become an alternative control ...

The dengue virus is transmitted in regions previously infested with the mosquito Aedes aegypti. To assess the spreading and establishment of the dengue disease vector, a mathematical model is developed that takes into ...

In the present work we compare the results obtained by two approaches to detect receptor expression on cells surface: (i) the confocal laser scanning microscopy, which is an established methodology to study cell biology ...

We consider the time evolution of an exactly solvable cellular automaton with random initial conditions both in the large-scale hydrodynamic limit and on the microscopic level. This model is a version of the totally ...

Developing methods with a low environmental impact for nanoparticle synthesis remains one of the greatest challenges in nanotechnology. In this context, biomimetic and biological methods have emerged as green chemistry ...
