Protein docking by the underestimation of free energy funnels in the space of encounter complexes. by Yang Shen, Ioannis Ch Paschalidis, Pirooz Vakili, Sandor Vajda

“…Results for standard protein docking benchmarks establish that in this space the free energy landscape is a funnel in a reasonably broad neighborhood of the native state and that the SDU strategy can generate docking predictions with less than 5 A ligand interface C(alpha) root-mean-square deviation while achieving an approximately 20-fold efficiency gain compared to Monte Carlo methods.…”

TRANSFORMATION AND SCATTERING OF SURFACE WAVES ON THE ACOUSTIC LOAD TO ULTRASONIC EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENTS. Part 1. The boundary of acoustic contact is sliding by A. R. Baev, F. I. Panteleenko, V. V. Zakharenko, G. I. Razmyslovich, K. G. Lark, N. N. Gil

“…for the enhancement and improvement of ultrasonic methods evaluation and measurements. The purpose of this work is to determine the influence of the geometric parameters of the acoustic load body and its position on the coefficients of reflection and propagation of the Stoneley and Rayleigh waves and to identify the possibility of using the results of the study for practical applications.Based on the analysis of the acoustic path and the experimental data, the relationship between the measured amplitude parameters and the coefficients of the propagation and reflection of surface waves, as well as the reflectivity of the contact region of the load body in the form of a prism through the sliding boundary, which reaches up to ≈ 32–34 дБ, is established. …”

Development, calibration and validation of weighing lysimeters for measurement of evapotranspiration of crops by William Fenner, Rivanildo Dallacort, Cleonir A. Faria Junior, Paulo S. L. de Freitas, Tadeu M. de Queiroz, Adalberto Santi

“…ABSTRACT The evapotranspiration process is critical to studies on the water balance and water demand of crops and can be determined by several methods. A widely-used method, despite its high installation costs, is weighing lysimeters, which consists of a box over a balance connected to a load cell that monitors variations in the soil-water-plant-atmosphere system. …”

BLS-QLSTM: a novel hybrid quantum neural network for stock index forecasting by Liyun Su, Dan Li, Dongyang Qiu

“…To overcome these problems, we propose a novel hybrid quantum neural network model, BLS-QLSTM, which combines broad learning system (BLS) and quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) network for chaotic time series prediction. Initially, the Cao method and mutual information approach are employed to determine the embedding dimensions and time delays, facilitating the reconstruction of the phase space of the original time series. …”
