ParKVFinder: A thread-level parallel approach in biomolecular cavity detection

SoftwareX, 2020
Biological processes are regulated mainly by the binding of small molecules into cavities distributed throughout the biomolecular structure. Computational tools to detect these cavities have an essential role in rational drug design. With the exponential

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Paleometry: A brand new area in Brazilian science [PDF]

Materials Research, 2014
Paleometry is a promising research field that brings together different areas, such as physics and chemistry, applied to paleobiological issues. In spite of being recognized abroad, it is a new research field in Brazil. The most important characteristic is the application of mostly non-destructive techniques to the study of fossils.
