Orphaning Regimes: The Missing Link Between Flattened and Penetrating Slab Morphologies
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Slab orphaning is a newly discovered phenomenological behavior, where the slab tip breaks off at the top of the lower mantle (~660 km depth) and is abandoned by its parent slab.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We explore the origin of a population of distant companions (~1000 - 5000 AU) to Class I protostellar sources recently found by Connelley and co-workers, who noted that the companion fraction diminished as the sources evolved. Here we present N-body simulations of unstable triple systems embedded in dense cloud cores.

De-orphaning the structural proteome through reciprocal comparison of evolutionarily important structural features. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Function prediction frequently relies on comparing genes or gene products to search for relevant similarities. Because the number of protein structures with unknown function is mushrooming, however, we asked here whether such comparisons could be ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 The recent discovery of several new endogenous opioid peptides has generated excitement over their potential physiological roles. For example, endomorphins are likely to have well defined functions due to their affinity and selectivity for a class of extensively studied opioid receptors (1).

Efficient Rendering of Digital Twins Consisting of Both Static And Dynamic Data [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesThe high number of vertices and faces present in a digital twin of a large scene poses a challenge when executing large-scale simulations that require the data to be rendered multiple times with slight changes such as the light conditions in a day-night ...
