Within the framework of multifield continua, we move from the model of elastic microcracked body introduced in (Mariano, P.M. and Stazi, F.L., Strain localization in elastic microcracked bodies, Comp. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 2001, 190, 5657–5677)...

The discovery of gene regulatory elements requires the synergism between computational and experimental techniques in order to reveal the underlying regulatory mechanisms that drive gene expression in response to external cues and signals. Utilizing...

This paper presents a survey describing recent developments in the area of mathematical programming techniques for various types of sensor network applications. We discuss mathematical programming formulations associated with these applications, as w...

Although the electrolarynx (EL) provides an important means of voice reconstruction for patients who lose their vocal cords by laryngectomies, the radiated noise and additive environment noise reduce the intelligibility of the resulting EL speech. Th...

With the discovery of insulin came a deeper understanding of therapeutic options for one of the most devastating chronic diseases of the modern era, diabetes mellitus. The use of insulin in the treatment of diabetes, especially in those with severe i...

An image pattern tracking algorithm is described in this paper for time-resolved measurements of mini- and micro-scale movements of complex objects. This algorithm works with a high-speed digital imaging system, which records thousands of successive...

Many macromolecules, namely proteins, show functional substructures or epitopes defined by characteristic spatial arrangements of groups of specific atoms or residues. The identification of such substructures in a set of macromolecular 3D-structures...

Based on a protein-protein docking approach we have developed a procedure to verify or falsify protein-protein interactions that were proposed by other methods such as yeast-2-hybrid assays. Our method currently utilizes intermolecular energies but c...

The Silberstein model of the molecular polarizability of diatomic molecules, generalized by Applequist et al. for polyatomic molecules, is analyzed. The atoms are regarded as isotropically polarizable points located at their nuclei, interacting via t...

Fourier transforms are a powerful tool in the prediction of DNA sequence properties, such as the presence/absence of codons. We have previously compiled a database of the structural properties of all 32,896 unique DNA octamers. In this work we apply...
