Random Effects Models for Understanding Variability and Association between Brain Functional and Structural Connectivity
The human brain is organized as a complex network, where connections between regions are characterized by both functional connectivity (FC) and structural connectivity (SC). While previous studies have primarily focused on network-level FC-SC correlations (i.e., the correlation between FC and SC across all edges within a predefined network), edge-level correlations (i.e., the correlation between FC and SC across subjects at each edge) has received comparatively little attention. In this study, …

libMobility: A Python library for hydrodynamics at the Smoluchowski level
Effective hydrodynamic modeling is crucial for accurately predicting fluid-particle interactions in diverse fields such as biophysics and materials science. Developing and implementing hydrodynamic algorithms is challenging due to the complexity of fluid dynamics, necessitating efficient management of large-scale computations and sophisticated boundary conditions. Furthermore, adapting these algorithms for use on massively parallel architectures like GPUs adds an additional layer of complexity.…

Reducing Cartel Violence: The Mexican Dilemma Between Social and Security Spending
Organised crime in Mexico threatens societal stability and public safety, driving pervasive violence and economic disruption. Despite security investments and social programs designed in part to reduce involvement in crime, cartel power and violence continue to persist. This study evaluates existing policies and introduces a novel framework using optimal control theory to analyse cartel dynamics. Specifically, by modelling resource allocation between security measures and social programs, we id…
