19. The Brain Hierarchical Atlas

Prof. Jesus M Cortes (Biocruces Bilbao Spain)

26/09/2016, 17:00

Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress in neuroimaging has helped advance our understanding of this important issue, with diffusion images providing information about structural connectivity (SC) and ...

5. Entropic effects in chromatin folding

Alberto Colliva (TO)

26/09/2016, 17:40

How DNA is organized in three dimensions inside the cell nucleus and how this organization affects the ways in which cells, access, read and interpret genetic information are among the most challenging questions in cell biology. Thanks to the recent development in molecular, genomic and computational approaches based on chromosome conformation capture technology (such as 3C, 4C, 5C and Hi-C)...

14. Partition of a graph using the Fiedler's theory: some properties

Eleonora Andreotti (University of L'Aquila)

According to the Fiedler's theory, a bipartition of a graph can be obtained by means of the second eigenvector of its Laplacian matrix. A possible refinement of this method holds true by considering a weighted Laplacian matrix. However in order to have a robust partition of a given graph, it is necessary to consider the effect of a perturbation on a weighted Laplacian matrix. In particular, we...
