In the advent of the Internet, web-mediated social networking has become of great influence to Filipinos. Networking sites such as Friendster, YouTube, FaceBook and MySpace are among the most well known sites on the Internet. These sites provide a wide range of services to users from different parts of the world, such as connecting and finding people, as well as, sharing and organizing contents...

A recently developed first-principles approach to the non-linear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions is evaluated and its results compared to those from simulations of sheared systems close to their glass transitions. The predicted scenario of a universal transition of the structural dynamics between yielding of glasses and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning) fluid flow appears well obeyed, and ...

RNAs fold into distinct molecular conformations that are often essential for their functions. Accurate structure modeling of complex RNA motifs, including ubiquitous non-canonical base pairs and pseudoknots, remains a challenge. Here, we present an NMR-guided all-atom discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) platform, iFoldNMR, for rapid and accurate structure modeling of complex RNAs. We show that sp...

The comparison and detection of the commonalities and differences in multiple structural ensembles is an important step in the use of molecular simulations to gain insight into the conformation and dynamics of complex biomacromolecules. While the average structure is often employed as the representative of an ensemble of structures in such comparisons, dynamic molecular systems with multiple co...

In this paper, the research object is the cycling equipment which is a common fitness equipment. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were optimized in a virtual prototype, and analysis was carried out on its structural mechanical characteristics and dynamic performance, etc. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were obtained through modal, random response and ha...

The continued elimination of measles requires accurate assessment of its epidemiology and a critical evaluation of how its incidence is changing with time. National surveillance of measles in the United States between 2001 and 2011 provides data on the number of measles introductions and the size of the resulting transmission chains. These data allow inference of the effective reproduction numb...
