We use a dissipative particle dynamic simulation to investigate the effects of shape complementarity on the protein-protein interactions. By monitoring different kinds of protein shape-complementarity modes, we gave a clear mechanism to reveal the role of the shape complementarity in the protein-protein interactions, i.e., when the two proteins with shape complementarity approach each other, th...

Abstract Food self-sufficiency is a relevant political issue in many countries, developed and developing, particularly to satisfy the internal nutritional needs of population face situations which prices basic products are unstable or when country faces an external shock. Improving resilience involves strengthening local rural communities meet demand with domestic production. The member countri...

The impact of expanding civilization on the health of American indigenous societies has long been studied. Most studies have focused on infections and malnutrition that occurred when less complex societies were incorporated into more complex civilizations. The details of dietary change, however, have rarely been explored. Using the analysis of starch residues recovered from coprolites, here we ...

Agricultural exports are vulnerable to many distance factors such as geographical, cultural, economic and institutional distance. Panel data were collected from 63 countries (from 2002 2020), fixed effects regression models employed estimate the impact of multidimensional on China’s agricultural exports. Results found that institutional, cultural negatively impacted significantly. The significa...

Merit function approach is a popular method to deal with complementarity problems, in which the complementarity problem is recast as an unconstrained minimization via merit function or complementarity function. In this paper, for the complementarity problem associated with p-order cone, which is a type of nonsymmetric cone complementarity problem, we show the readers how to construct merit func...

Several of the most important conservation prioritization approaches select markedly different areas at global and regional scales. They are designed to maximize a certain biodiversity dimension such as coverage of species in the case of hotspots and complementarity, or composite properties of ecosystems in the case of wilderness. Most comparisons between approaches have ignored the multidimens...

It is thought that proteins recognize their partners by complementarity. The parameters for the charge complementarity and many analyses have been reported not only in small ligand to protein interactions but also protein-protein interactions. However, there have been few reports about shape complementarity, especially for the protein-protein interfaces. The SC program [1] may be the only metho...

Relevance. Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and international trade are traditionally viewed as key drive of economic integration globalization. At the same time, relationship between these phenomena is ambiguous both from theoretical empirical points view. This study contributes to existing literature by analyzing outward for countries with different levels income per capita. Research ...

Economists in the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Economics perform economic analysis support dual missions to protect consumers and competition by preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, unfair business practices through law enforcement, advocacy, education. This article first presents summaries analyses that FTC economists performed estimate consumer harm from two different types dec...
