Abstract Improving the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has been an important task in bioinformatics since it is not only the starting point in obtaining tertiary structure in hierarchical modeling but ...

In this paper, we present the results of pharmacophore identification and bioactivity prediction for pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine derivatives using the electron conformational–genetic algorithm (EC–GA) method as 4D-QSAR ...

This work demonstrates an ultra-long range direct detection fiber optic distributed acoustic sensor which can detect vibrations at a distance of 94.8 km with 10 m resolution along the sensing fiber. (C) 2019 The Author(s)

Amorphous boron carbide compositions having high B contents (BxC1−x, 0.50 ≤ x ≤ 0.95) are systematically created by way of ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, and their structural, electrical, and mechanical ...

Organic solar cells are attractive for various applications with their flexibility and low-cost manufacturability. In order to increase their attractiveness in practice, it is essential to improve their energy conversion ...

Determination and assessment of residual stresses are crucial to prevent the failure of the components used in defense, aerospace and automotive industries. The objective of this study is to present a material method to ...

Colloidal nanoparticles enable collective utilization of the inherent properties of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, their collective optical response can be fine-tuned employing DNA-driven self-assembly. Here, we present ...

This paper proposes a new cost-efficient, adaptive, and self-healing algorithm in real time that detects faults in a short period with high accuracy, even in the situations when it is difficult to detect. Rather than using ...

The restoration and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings and complexes, which present structurally and functionally resilient shells, provide us with an interesting dilemma in theory and practice: made of hard ...

We investigate the change in adjustment speed of debt maturity for East Asian firms between 1990 and 2017 by including two exogenous shocks: the Asian Financial Crisis 1997-1998 (AFC) and the Global Financial Crisis 2007-2009 ...
