Turing instability and 2-D pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems derived from kinetic theory
Stefano Boccelli, Giorgio Martalò, Romina Travaglini
We investigate Turing instability and pattern formation in two-dimensional domains for two reaction-diffusion models, obtained as diffusive limits of kinetic equations for mixtures…

Sealing Europa's vents by vapor deposition: An order of magnitude study
Stefano Boccelli, Shane R. Carberry Mogan, Robert E. Johnson +1
Fractures and vents in the ice crust of Europa, exposing the sub-surface ocean or liquid-water inclusions to the vacuum, might be responsible for the generation of water-vapor plum…
