We briefly report on our method [Fiore JPA 2017] of simplifying the equations of motion of charged particles in an electromagnetic field that is the sum of a plane travelling wave and a static part; it is based on changes of the dependent…
Trajectories of endosomes inside living eukaryotic cells are highly heterogeneous in space and time and diffuse anomalously due to a combination of viscoelasticity, caging, aggregation and active transport. Some of the trajectories display…

Analysis of the speed of propagation in parabolic operators is frequently carried out considering the minimal speed at which its traveling waves move. This value depends on the solution concept being considered. We analyze an extensive…
