Computing a Link Diagram From Its Exterior.

ABSTRACT: A knot is a circle piecewise-linearly embedded into the 3-sphere. The topology of a knot is intimately related to that of its exterior, which is the complement of an open regular neighborhood of the knot. Knots are typically encoded by planar diagrams, whereas their exteriors, which are compact 3-manifolds with torus boundary, are encoded by triangulations. Here, we give the first practical algorithm for finding a diagram of a knot given a triangulation of its exterior. Our method applies to links as well as knots, and allows us to recover links with hundreds of crossings. We use it to find the first diagrams known for 23 principal congruence arithmetic link exteriors; the largest has over 2500 crossings. Other applications include finding pairs of knots with the same 0-surgery, which relates to questions about slice knots and the smooth 4D Poincaré conjecture.

Computing the stability diagram of the Trp-cage miniprotein.

Project description:We report molecular dynamics simulations of the equilibrium folding/unfolding thermodynamics of an all-atom model of the Trp-cage miniprotein in explicit solvent. Simulations are used to sample the folding/unfolding free energy difference and its derivatives along 2 isochores. We model the DeltaG(u)(P,T) landscape using the simulation data and propose a stability diagram model for Trp-cage. We find the proposed diagram to exhibit features similar to globular proteins with increasing hydrostatic pressure destabilizing the native fold. The observed energy differences DeltaE(u) are roughly linearly temperature-dependent and approach DeltaE(u) = 0 with decreasing temperature, suggesting that the system approached the region of cold denaturation. In the low-temperature denatured state, the native helical secondary structure elements are largely preserved, whereas the protein conformation changes to an "open-clamp" configuration. A tighter packing of water around nonpolar sites, accompanied by an increasing solvent-accessible surface area of the unfolded ensemble, seems to stabilize the unfolded state at elevated pressures.

Project description:RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential to viral replication and is therefore one of the primary targets of countermeasures against these dangerous infectious agents. Development of broad-spectrum therapeutics targeting polymerases has been hampered by the extreme sequence variability of these sequences. RdRps range in length from 400-800 residues, yet contain only ∼20 residues that are conserved in most species. In this study, we made structure-based comparisons that are independent of sequence composition using a recently developed algorithm. We identified residue-to-residue correspondences of multiple protein structures and created (two-dimensional) structure-based alignment maps of 37 polymerase structures that provide both sequence and structure details. Using these maps, we determined that ∼75% of each polymerase species consists of seven protein segments, each of which has high structural similarity to segments in other species, though they are widely divergent in sequence composition and order. We define each of these segments as a 'homomorph', and each includes (though most are much larger than) the well-known conserved polymerase motifs. All homomorphs contact the template tunnel or nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) entry tunnel and the exterior of the protein, suggesting they constitute a structural and functional skeleton common among the polymerases.

Fabrication of a PVDF membrane with tailored morphology and properties <i>via</i> exploring and computing its ternary phase diagram for wastewater treatment and gas separation applications.

Project description:We report a simple approach for tailoring the morphology of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes fabricated using a nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method that sustains both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Various membrane structures, i.e. skin layers and whole membrane structures as well, were obtained via an experimental method based on the obtained and computed ternary phase diagram. The nonsolvent interactions with polymer solution resulted in the different forms and properties of a surface layer of fabricated membranes that affected the overall transport of solvent and nonsolvent molecules inside and outside the bulk of the fabricated membranes. The resulting morphology and properties were confirmed using the 3D optical profiler, SEM, FT-IR and XRD methods. The effect of binary interaction parameters on the morphology of the fabricated membranes and on their separation performance was tested using water/oil mixture and gas separation. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of PVDF showed the excellent durable separation performance of the prepared membranes with 92% of oil separation and the maximum flux of 395 L h-1 m-2 along with 120 min of long-term stability. CO2 separation from H2, N2, CH4 and SF6 gases was performed to further support the effect of tuned PVDF membranes with different micro/nanostructured morphologies. The gas performance demonstrated ultrahigh permeability and a several-fold greater than the Knudsen separation factor. The results demonstrate a facile and inexpensive approach can be successfully applied for the tailoring of the PVDF membranes to predict and design the resulting membrane structure.

Hubble's diagram and cosmic expansion.

Project description:Edwin Hubble's classic article on the expanding universe appeared in PNAS in 1929 [Hubble, E. P. (1929) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 15, 168-173]. The chief result, that a galaxy's distance is proportional to its redshift, is so well known and so deeply embedded into the language of astronomy through the Hubble diagram, the Hubble constant, Hubble's Law, and the Hubble time, that the article itself is rarely referenced. Even though Hubble's distances have a large systematic error, Hubble's velocities come chiefly from Vesto Melvin Slipher, and the interpretation in terms of the de Sitter effect is out of the mainstream of modern cosmology, this article opened the way to investigation of the expanding, evolving, and accelerating universe that engages today's burgeoning field of cosmology.

Study on visual matching cognition of automobile interior and exterior.

Project description:This work aims to study the visual matching cognition of people with different professional backgrounds for automobile interiors and exteriors, using gasoline-powered automobiles and electric automobiles as the research objects. First, three classes of automobiles, B-class, C-class, and sport-type class automobiles, of different brands, with large differences in styling and styles, were taken as the experimental sample sources, and high-definition interior and exterior pictures of the two power types of automobiles were randomly selected as the experimental samples. The participants were then divided into expert and general user groups according to their professional background. The two groups of participants were asked to conduct a total of 3 groups of visual matching cognition experiments on the interior and exterior of gasoline-powered automobiles, electric automobiles, and automobiles mixed with the same number of gasoline-powered automobiles and electric automobiles. The statistical analysis of the data of the above three groups of experiments revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups of participants in terms of the visual matching cognition of the interior and exterior of the gasoline-powered automobiles and electric automobiles. When the two types of automobiles were mixed for the experiment, the participants still showed visual matching cognition for the interior and exterior, but there were obvious differences in cognitive abilities between the two groups. Research has shown that both general users and experts have the ability to perform visual matching of automobile interiors and exteriors, however, the cognitive ability of general users is weaker than that of experts. The visual matching cognition of the automobile interior and exterior is not affected by the power type or the automobile type.

Discontinuous phase diagram of amorphous carbons.

Project description:The short-range order and medium-range order of amorphous carbons demonstrated in experiments allow us to rethink whether there exist intrinsic properties hidden by atomic disordering. Here we presented six representative phases of amorphous carbons (0.1-3.4 g/cm3), namely, disordered graphene network (DGN), high-density amorphous carbon (HDAC), amorphous diaphite (a-DG), amorphous diamond (a-D), paracrystalline diamond (p-D), and nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD), respectively, classified by their topological features and microstructural characterizations that are comparable with experiments. To achieve a comprehensive physical landscape for amorphous carbons, a phase diagram was plotted in the sp3/sp2 versus density plane, in which the counterintuitive discontinuity originates from the inherent difference in topological microstructures, further guiding us to discover a variety of phase transitions among different amorphous carbons. Intriguingly, the power law, log(sp3/sp2) ∝ ρn, hints at intrinsic topology and hidden order in amorphous carbons, providing an insightful perspective to reacquaint atomic disorder in non-crystalline carbons.

Phase diagram of spiking neural networks.

Project description:In computer simulations of spiking neural networks, often it is assumed that every two neurons of the network are connected by a probability of 2%, 20% of neurons are inhibitory and 80% are excitatory. These common values are based on experiments, observations, and trials and errors, but here, I take a different perspective, inspired by evolution, I systematically simulate many networks, each with a different set of parameters, and then I try to figure out what makes the common values desirable. I stimulate networks with pulses and then measure their: dynamic range, dominant frequency of population activities, total duration of activities, maximum rate of population and the occurrence time of maximum rate. The results are organized in phase diagram. This phase diagram gives an insight into the space of parameters - excitatory to inhibitory ratio, sparseness of connections and synaptic weights. This phase diagram can be used to decide the parameters of a model. The phase diagrams show that networks which are configured according to the common values, have a good dynamic range in response to an impulse and their dynamic range is robust in respect to synaptic weights, and for some synaptic weights they oscillates in α or β frequencies, independent of external stimuli.

Basic primitives for molecular diagram sketching.

Project description:A collection of primitive operations for molecular diagram sketching has been developed. These primitives compose a concise set of operations which can be used to construct publication-quality 2 D coordinates for molecular structures using a bare minimum of input bandwidth. The input requirements for each primitive consist of a small number of discrete choices, which means that these primitives can be used to form the basis of a user interface which does not require an accurate pointing device. This is particularly relevant to software designed for contemporary mobile platforms. The reduction of input bandwidth is accomplished by using algorithmic methods for anticipating probable geometries during the sketching process, and by intelligent use of template grafting. The algorithms and their uses are described in detail.
