We consider generalized resistive systems, comprising linear Kirchhoff equations and non-linear element equations, depending on the flow through the element and on two adjacent nodal variables. The derivatives of the element equation should possess a special signature. For such systems we prove the global non-degeneracy of the Jacobi matrix and the applicability of globally convergent solution tracing algorithms. We show that the stationary problems in gas transport networks belong to this generalized resistive type. We apply the tracing algorithm to several realistic networks and compare its performance with a generic Newton solver.

We extend our system for radio astronomical monitoring by a cross-validation filter, separating near Earth radio frequency interference (RFI) from deep space signals. The filter searches for similar signals in a nearby frequency band, coming from a different spatial direction than the tested signal. The filter passes the signals which do not have such duplicates. We apply this technique to a database of SETI institute (***), containing 1.5 millions of sky observations in a frequency range 0.5-11.2 GHz, where our primary selection identified 28 strong signals possessing extraterrestrial (ET) signature. Crossvalidation allows to filter out 24 of those signals as satellite RFI. We present parameters for the remaining 4 signals and discuss statistical significance of these findings.

Fully implicit black-oil simulations result in huge, often very-ill-conditioned, linear systems of equations for different unknowns (e.g., pressure and saturations). It is well-known that the underlying Jacobian matrices contain both hyperbolic and nearly elliptic subsystems (corresponding to saturations and pressure, respectively). Because a reservoir simulation is typically driven by the behavior of the pressure, constrained-pressure-residual (CPR)-type two-stage preconditioning methods to solve the coupled linear systems are a natural choice and still belong to the most popular approaches. After a suitable extraction and decoupling, the computationally most costly step in such two-stage methods consists in solving the elliptic subsystems accurately enough. Algebraic multigrid (AMG) provides a technique to solve elliptic linear equations very efficiently. Hence, in recent years, corresponding CPR-AMG approaches have been extensively used in practice. Unfortunately, if applied in a straightforward manner, CPR-AMG does not always work as expected. In this paper, we discuss the reasons for the lack of robustness observed in practice, and present remedies. More precisely, we will propose a preconditioning strategy (based on a suitable combination of left and right preconditioning of the Jacobian matrix) that aims at a compromise between the solvability of the pressure subproblem by AMG and the needs of the outer CPR process. The robustness of this new preconditioning strategy will be demonstrated for several industrial test cases, some of which are very ill-conditioned. Furthermore, we will demonstrate that CPR-AMG can be interpreted in a natural way as a special AMG process applied directly to the coupled Jacobian systems.

We present StarWatch , our application for real-time analysis of radio astronomical data in Virtual Environment. Serving as an interface to radio astronomical databases or being applied to live data from the radio telescopes, the application supports various data filters measuring signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), Doppler's drift, degree of signal localization on celestial sphere and other useful tools for signal extraction and classification. Originally designed for the database of narrow band signals from SETI institute (***), the application has been recently extended for the detection of wide band periodic signals, necessary for the search of pulsars. We will also address the detection of week signals possessing arbitrary waveforms and present several data filters suitable for this purpose.

The use of biomarkers is becoming increasingly integral to to the contemporary practice of medicine and continues to play a central role in preventive, predictive and personalized medicine. However, the limited number of FDA-approved, in use biomarkers, on one hand, and an increasing number of published potential biomarkers, on the other hand, calls for an accelerated approach to translating biomarker research to clinical application. In this talk, I introduce novel concept of "Biomarker-guided Mechanism Discovery" through an integrative disease modeling approach and present the successful application of this methodology to deciphering the network model of genomic hormone interactions underlying dementia and its translational validation through serendipitous off-target effect. Moreover, the current challenges in biomarker discovery is discussed and results of our proposed Biomarker Ontology in collaboration with pharma industry will be presented.

Quantum energies which are used in applications are usually composed of repulsive and attractive terms. The objective of this study is to use an accurate and efficient fitting of the repulsive energy instead of using standard parametrizations. The investigation is based on Density Functional Theory and Tight Binding simulations. Our objective is not only to capture the values of the repulsive terms but also to efficiently reproduce the elastic properties and the forces. The elasticity values determine the rigidity of a material when some traction or load is applied on it. The pair-potential is based on an exponential term corrected by B-spline terms. In order to accelerate the computations, one uses a hierarchical optimization for the B-splines on different levels. Carbon graphenes constitute the configurations used in the simulations. We report on some results to show the efficiency of the B-splines on different levels.
In this paper, we present an algorithm for trigonometric interpolation of multivariate functions on generalized sparse grids and study its application for the approximation of functions in periodic Sobolev spaces of d...
