Interatomic potentials, which describe interactions between elements of nanosystems, are crucial in theoretical study of their physical properties. We focus on two well known empirical potentials, i.e. Tersoff's and Brenner's potentials, and compare their performance in calculation of thermal transport in carbon nanotubes. In this way, we study the temperature and diameter dependence of thermal...

The environment-dependent interaction potential is a transferable empirical potential for carbon which is well suited for studying disordered systems. Ab initio data are used to motivate and parametrize the functional form, which includes environment-dependence in the pair and triple terms, and a generalized aspherical coordination describing dihedral rotation and nonbonded π -repulsion. Simula...

Each year the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB; http:// www.iscb.org) honors a young scientist who has already achieved a significant and lasting impact on our field. The ISCB Awards Committee, comprised of current and former directors of the society and chaired by Søren Brunak, director of the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark, ...

Ovarian neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of tumors with varying incidence in the general population. The most common are the surface epithelial tumors which include transitional cell tumors. Transitional cell tumors include both transitional cell carcinoma and Brenner tumor. The vast majority of Brenner tumors are benign, often incidental findings; however, malignant Brenner tumors (MBT) do ...

La tumeur de Brenner est une lésion ovarienne rare représentant 1 à 2 % de l'ensemble des tumeurs ovariennes. Elle a été décrite pour la première fois par MacNaughton-Jones en 1898. La tumeur de Brenner maligne est une variante exceptionnelle survenant dans 2 à 5 % des cas de tumeurs de Brenner. Nous proposons de discuter à partir d'une observation clinique de tumeur de Brenner maligne diagnost...
