Packing Unequal Circles into a Minimum-Radius Circle Using r-Algorithm

Кібернетика та комп'ютерні технології
Two approaches to employ the Shor’s r-algorithm for solving a problem of packing unequal circles into a minimum-radius circle are studied. The first approach uses multistart of the r-algorithm with a step dichotomy from a set of feasible starting points.

A design tool for globally developable discrete architectural surfaces using Ricci flow

Japan Architectural Review, 2023
This paper presents an approach for the design of discrete architectural surfaces that are globally developable; that is, having zero Gaussian curvature at every interior node.

Dynamics on geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds with applications to Apollonian circle packings and beyond [PDF]

, 2010
We present recent results on counting and distribution of circles in a given circle packing invariant under a geometrically finite Kleinian group and discuss how the dynamics of flows on geometrically finite hyperbolic $3$ manifolds are related.

A generalization of Apollonian packing of circles [PDF]

Journal of Combinatorics, 2010
Three circles touching one another at distinct points form two curvilinear triangles. Into one of these we can pack three new circles, touching each other, with each new circle touching two of the original circles. In such a sextuple of circles there are three pairs of circles, with each of the circles in a pair touching all four circles in the other ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Formulation symmetries in circle packing [PDF]

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2010
Abstract The performance of Branch-and-Bound algorithms is severely impaired by the presence of symmetric optima in a given problem. We describe a method for the automatic detection of formulation symmetries in MINLP instances. A software implementation of this method is used to conjecture the group structure of the problem symmetries of packing ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.
