Anisotropic single-particle dissipative particle dynamics model

Single-particle tracking: Brownian dynamics of viscoelastic materials.

A unifying theoretical framework for analyzing stochastic data from single-particle tracking (SPT) in viscoelastic materials is presented. A generalization of the bead-spring model for linear polymers is developed from a molecular point of view and from the standpoint of phenomenological linear viscoelasticity. The hydrodynamic interaction in the former is identified as the dashpots in the latt...

Automatic Particle Picking Algorithms for High Resolution Single Particle Analysis

As new genome sequencing initiatives are completed, one of the next great challenges of cell biology is the atomic resolution structure determination of the enormous number of proteins they encode. Single particle analysis is a technique which produces 3D structures by computationally aligning high resolution electron microscope images of individual, randomly oriented molecules. One of the limi...

Particle segmentation algorithm for flexible single particle reconstruction

As single particle cryo-electron microscopy has evolved to a new era of atomic resolution, sample heterogeneity still imposes a major limit to the resolution of many macromolecular complexes, especially those with continuous conformational flexibility. Here, we describe a particle segmentation algorithm towards solving structures of molecules composed of several parts that are relatively flexib...

Topical Review for Semiconductor Science and Technology Review of Amorphous Silicon Based Particle Detectors: The Quest for Single Particle Detection

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is attractive for radiation detectors because of its radiation resistance and processability over large areas and with mature Si microfabrication techniques. While the use of a-Si:H for medical imaging has been very successful, the development of detectors for particle tracking and minimum-ionizing-particle detection has lagged, with almost no practical i...
