چکیده

A method of measuring the extent to which space curves encircle one another is introduced. The method provides a family of sets which characterize encircling curves, allowing curve pairs that engage (and also single curves that self-engage) to be distinguished. The method is applied to the backbone chains of protein molecules.

FOLDING OF THE INTERACTION OF HISTONE HI WITH SODIUM N-DODECYL SULPHATE

The effects of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) on the structure of histone HI has been studied by a combination of e:quilibrium dialysis, U.V. spectroscopy ; polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, protein titration and viscometery techniques using, 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4. The interaction of H, and SDS in contrast tomanyothel-protein-SDS interactions is organized between V 40 to 70. A...

Decentralized multi-robot encirclement of a 3D target with guaranteed collision avoidance

We present a control framework for achieving encirclement of a target moving in 3D using a multi-robot system. Three variations of a basic control strategy are proposed for different versions of the encirclement problem, and their effectiveness is formally established. An extension ensuring maintenance of a safe inter-robot distance is also discussed. The proposed framework is fully decentraliz...

UAVs in Formation and Dynamic Encirclement Via Model Predictive Control

Switching between the formation flight tactic and the dynamic encirclement tactic for a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is done using a decentralized approach. A team formed from N UAVs, accomplishes a line-of-breast formation then dynamic encirclement around a desired target. A high-level Linear Model Predictive Control (LMPC) policy is used to control the UAV team during the execution...

Physicochemical Position-Dependent Properties in the Protein Secondary Structures

Background: Establishing theories for designing arbitrary protein structures is complicated and depends on understanding the principles for protein folding, which is affected by applied features. Computer algorithms can reach high precision and stability in computationally designing enzymes and binders by applying informative features obtained from natural structures. Methods: In this study, a ...
