BIOPHYSICS: Dipped in Oil

Biophysics.

For I dipped into the future.

Libraries, once the hub of academic life and knowledge, have started to become quiet, solitary places. Today, most scientists browse, download and read the scientific literature from the comfort of their desktop computers, laptops or a plethora of mobile devices. Yet the online revolution has not only changed where and how scientists read papers, it is also changing the format of scientific art...

Lectures in Theoretical Biophysics

its variables can still be interpreted in terms of physiological variables, since they have been derived from the physiological variables of the Hodgkin–Huxley model. The other way in which Fitzhugh derived these equations was by introducing one additional parameter in the original van der Pol oscillator equations which modifies them so that they have the qualitative features which Bonhoeffer h...

Nash Implementation in an Allocation Problem with Single-Dipped Preferences

In this paper, we study the Nash implementation in an allocation problem with single-dipped preferences. We show that, with at least three agents, Maskin monotonicity is necessary and sufficient for implementation. We examine the implementability of various social choice correspondences (SCCs) in this environment, and prove that some well-known SCCs are Maskin monotonic ( but they do not satisf...

Computational Biophysics

Introduction/Group Overview The RLE Computational Biophysics Group is focused on understanding conformational changes in biomolecules that play an important role in common human diseases. The group uses an interdisciplinary approach combining computational modeling with biochemical experiments to make connections between conformational changes in macromolecules and disease progression. By emplo...
