BIOCOM-SC - Grup de Biologia Computacional i Sistemes Complexos
El grup de recerca BIOCOM-SC aspira a crear sinergies de manera que els coneixements de física bàsica (fluids, materials, sistemes complexos) s’utilitzin per abordar problemes en biociència, des d’aquells d’interès en biomedicina (dinàmica d’ones elèctriques al cor, xarxes neuronals, tuberculosi) a d’altres d’enginyeria de sistemes biològics (simulació de sistemes microbians d’interès agroalimentari i medi ambiental). Per assolir aquest objectiu comptem amb un grup interdisciplinari on a més de físics hi ha matemàtics, enginyers i biòlegs, en col·laboració amb grups de biologia experimental de dins i fora de Catalunya. L’objectiu final és esdevenir un grup de referència en biologia teòrica i computacional capaç de fer el salt des de les idees de física fonamental a problemes d’interès biosanitari o mediambiental.
The group studies out-of-equilibrium systems by means of nonlinear dynamics techniques and their application to the self-organisation of complex systems, spatiotemporal pattern formation, biophysical systems, materials science, nanometric devices, studies and measurements in architectural and environmental acoustics and energetic efficiency in buildings.

Bubble dynamics in turbulent duct flows: Lattice-Boltzmann simulations and drop tower experiments
(2018-06-23)
Article
Accés obertLattice-Boltzmann simulations of a turbulent duct flow have been carried out to obtain trajectories of passive tracers in the conditions of a series of microgravity experiments of turbulent bubble suspensions. The statistics ... -
Generation and control of monodisperse bubble suspensions in microgravity
(2018-06-01)
Article
Accés obertA new experimental setup for the generation of homogeneous, monodisperse bubble suspensions in turbulent duct flows in microgravity has been designed and tested in drop tower experiments. The setup provides independent ... -
Periodic spiking by a pair of ionic channels
(2018-09-01)
Article
Accés obertNeuronal cells present periodic trains of localized voltage spikes involving a large amount of different ionic channels. A relevant question is whether this is a cooperative effect or it could also be an intrinsic property ... -
Fixed-density boundary conditions in overdamped Langevin simulations of diffusion in channels
(2018-07)
Article
Accés obertWe consider the numerical integration of Langevin equations for particles in a channel, in the presence of boundary conditions fixing the concentration values at the ends. This kind of boundary condition appears for instance ... -

Using archaeomagnetism to improve the dating of three sites in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2018)
Article
Accés obertArchaeomagnetic dating was performed on four archaeological structures in Catalonia (NE Spain) using magnetic inclination and declination values from three reference curves: the Iberian SVC and two curves computed using ... -
Seedling emergence through soil surface seals under laboratory conditions: effect of mechanical impedance and seal moisture
(2017)
Article
Accés obertIt is well known that soil sealing strongly affects seedling emergence. The effect of soil sealing on the emergence of flax and turnip seedlings was studied in the laboratory. Seeds were sown in pots, watered, then covered ... -

Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe general objective of this work is to deal with different approaches for the representation of an epidemic considering the state of the individuals in the population, Susceptible, Infected or Recovered (SIR), which ... -
Ordering kinetics evaluation of FeAl powders
(2017-12-01)
Article
Accés obertIn this study, time resolved X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron X-ray radiation have been performed to get insight on the time and temperature dependent atomic ordering of an intermetallic Fe-40Al (at.%) ... -
Discretization-dependent model for weakly connected excitable media
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-03-23)
Article
Accés obertPattern formation has been widely observed in extended chemical and biological processes. Although the biochemical systems are highly heterogeneous, homogenized continuum approaches formed by partial differential equations ... -
An automatic system for computing malaria parasite density in thin blood films
(Springer, 2018-01)
Capítol de llibre
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialMalaria is a major worldwide health problem, specially in countries with tropical climates and remote areas. In this paper, we present an automatic system for estimating malaria parasite density in thin blood smears. ... -
CD5L promotes M2 macrophage polarization through autophagy-mediated upregulation of ID3
(2018-03-12)
Article
Accés obertCD5L (CD5 molecule-like) is a secreted glycoprotein that controls key mechanisms in inflammatory responses, with involvement in processes such as infection, atherosclerosis, and cancer. In macrophages, CD5L promotes an ...
