Three weeks in advance of Frontiers in Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics 2014, Professor Klaus Schulten (Director of the Computational and Theoretical Biophysics Group at UIUC) phoned in with us from his native Germany to talk about his research interests, the state of the field, the Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics Consortium (MPSDC), and the keynote lecture that he will be giving at th...

This study investigates how virtual communities retain active members and maintain sustainability as they grow in size. By integrating the individual and structural dynamics of a virtual community, this study develops a multilevel research model that explores how structural factors (i.e., membership and clique sizes) at the community level interact with individual factors (i.e., the extent of u...

The psychology of groups and certain structural dynamic elements of their functioning are common to all groups. However, there are some variables that change according to the emotional needs and developmental tasks connected to the age of the individuals that comprise such groups. The basic feature that clearly distinguishes therapeutic groups for adults from groups comprising children or adole...

The aim of this article is to present a methodological approach for problems encountered in structural analysis of web communities. This approach is based upon the pretopological concepts of pseudoclosure and the searching of equivalent nodes. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a framework needed to pass through the actual limits of graph theory modeling. The problem of modeling...

The evolution of the diffraction profiles during the fast thermoelastic deformation and structural transformations induced in a thin Ni film by short pulse laser irradiation is investigated in molecular dynamics simulations. Fast disappearance of the diffraction peaks characteristic for the initial crystal structure is related to the homogeneous nucleation and growth of liquid regions inside th...

investigation on structure and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems is an important issue for silvicultural decisions. the aim of this study is to analysis dynamics and structure of a beech stand during 5-year period in the shast kalateh forest in the caspian region, north of iran. data were collected from a 16.9ha permanent research plot established in a natural unlogged stand in 2006. all li...
