Elettroporazione: set up sperimentale per la verifica del campo elettrico

In questo elaborato è stato realizzato un set up di elettrodi sperimentale e dei modelli di tessuto biologico che potessero simulare un tumore e del tessuto sano circostante per la verifica della distribuzione del campo elettrico in seguito ad elettroporazione. Sono stati eseguiti dei test applicando il trattamento di elettroporazione su questi modelli vegetali utilizzando un set up sperimentale costruito ad hoc, registrando i valori di corrente,tensione e resistenza ai capi di ciascun elettrod

Compartmental Models for the Assessment of Net Whole Body Protein Breakdown Using a Pulse of Phenylalanine and Tyrosine Stable Isotopes in Humans

Two compartmental models of Phe and Tyr metabolism in healthy subjects were developed, by using two stable isotope tracer pulses administered intravenously. The simplest model provides a physiologically relevant overview of Phe and Tyr metabolism in terms of intervals of validity. The more complex one is uniquely identifiable, but makes a higher number of structural assumptions. These models could serve as a future reference in amino acids modelin

Computing approximate Fekete points by QR factorizations of Vandermonde Matrices

We propose a numerical method (implemented in Matlab) for computing algebraic quadrature nodes and weights on compact multivariate domains. It relies on the search of maximum volume submatrices of Vandermonde matrices in suitable polynomial bases, by a greedy algorithm based on QR factorization with column pivoting. Such nodes are approximate Fekete points, and are good also for polynomial interpolation. Numerical tests are presented for the interval and the square
