Can testate amoeba-based palaeohydrology be extended to fens? [PDF]
, 2010 Numerous palaeoecological studies have used testate amoeba analysis to reconstruct Holocene hydrological change in peatlands, and thereby past climatic change.

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2015 Filters of the Spatial-Variant amoeba morphology can preserve edges better, but with too much noise being left. For better denoising, this paper presents a new method to generate structuring elements for Spatially-Variant amoeba morphology.

Implementation of Geometry Dependent Charge Flux into Polarizable AMOEBA+ Potential [PDF]
, 2019 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing classical force fields (FFs) have been widely used to model molecular systems. The important ingredient of the current FFs, atomic charge, remains fixed during MD simulations despite the atomic environment or

Neurofibromin controls macropinocytosis and phagocytosis in Dictyostelium
eLife, 2015 Cells use phagocytosis and macropinocytosis to internalise bulk material, which in phagotrophic organisms supplies the nutrients necessary for growth. Wildtype Dictyostelium amoebae feed on bacteria, but for decades laboratory work has relied on axenic ...

Response of the protistan community of a rice field soil to different oxygen tensions [PDF]
, 2016 Heterotrophic protists in soil are grazers that control the biomass and community structure of bacteria, thereby enhancing nutrient recycling. Oxygen regulates the microeukaryotic community, but little is known about its response to microoxic conditions.

AMOEBA+ Classical Potential for Modeling Molecular Interactions [PDF]
, 2019 Classical potentials based on isotropic and additive atomic charges have been widely used to model molecules in computers for the past few decades. The crude approximations in the underlying physics are hindering both their accuracy and transferability ...
