Computer program analyzes and designs supersonic wing-body combinations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
Computer program formulates geometric description of the wing body configuration, optimizes wing camber shape, determines wing shape for a given pressure distribution, and calculates pressures, forces, and moments on a given configuration.

Cosmological parameters from large scale structure - geometric versus shape information

open access: yes, 2010
The matter power spectrum as derived from large scale structure (LSS) surveys contains two important and distinct pieces of information: an overall smooth shape and the imprint of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO).

A flexible geometric model for leaf shape descriptions with high accuracy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Accurate assessment of canopy structure is crucial in studying plant-environment interactions. The advancement of functional-structural plant models (FSPM), which incorporate the 3D structure of individual plants, increases the need for a method for ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Elastic Geometric Shape Matching

open access: yes, 2021
In computational geometry, geometric shape matching (GSM) problems are among the classical and well-studied geometric optimization problems. In a conventional GSM problem, the pattern P and the model Q, both from a class S of geometric shapes, are given, along with a suitable distance measure d.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Construction of Local-Shape-Controlled Quartic Generalized Said-Ball Model

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Said-Ball curves and surfaces are extensively applied in the realm of geometric modeling. Their appearance is only decided by the control points, which produces a great deal of inconvenience for the shape design of sophisticated products.

Shape deformation analysis from the optimal control viewpoint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A crucial problem in shape deformation analysis is to determine a deformation of a given shape into another one, which is optimal for a certain cost. It has a number of applications in particular in medical imaging.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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
