The perception of taste is a prime example complex signal transduction at the subcellular level, involving an intricate network molecular machinery, which can be investigated to great extent by tools provided Computational Molecular Modelling. present review summarises current knowledge on mechanisms root transduction, in particular receptors, highly specialised proteins driving activation/deactivation specific cell signalling pathways and ultimately leading five principal tastes: sweet,...
The successful performance of a model predictive profile controller is demonstrated in simulations and experiments on the TCV tokamak, employing test environment. Stable high-performance tokamak operation hybrid advanced plasma scenarios requires control over safety factor (q-profile) kinetic parameters such as beta. This demands to establish reliable routines presently operational tokamaks.
In this paper model-based closed-loop algorithms are derived for distributed control of the inverse safety factor profile and plasma pressure parameter β TCV tokamak.The simultaneous two quantities is performed by combining different methods.The design based on an infinite-dimensional setting using Lyapunov analysis partial differential equations, while designed techniques singleinput single-output systems.The performance robustness proposed controller analyzed in simulations fast transport...
In the present paper we propose a novel blind docking protocol based on Autodock-Vina. The developed can provide binding site identification and pose prediction at same time, by systematical exploration of protein volume performed with several preliminary calculations. our opinion, this be successfully applied during first steps virtual screening pipeline, because it provides time without visual evaluation site. After prediction, MM/GBSA re-scoring rescoring procedures has been to improve...
This letter introduces a novel neural network architecture, called Integrated Neural Network (INN), for direct identification of nonlinear continuous-time dynamical models in state-space representation. The proposed INN is used to approximate the state map, and it consists feed-forward followed by an integral block. unknown parameters are estimated minimizing properly constructed dual-objective criterion. effectiveness methodology assessed against Cascaded Tanks System benchmark.

This structure is used to approximate the system dynamics. unknown matrices are estimated along with state sequence minimizing properly constructed dual-objective criterion. A coordinate-descent algorithm employed optimize desired objective, which alternates between computing...
This article proposes novel distributed control methods for the coupled dynamics of safety factor and electron temperature profiles in tokamaks. The feedback design is based on an infinite-dimensional setting using Lyapunov analysis partial differential equations. modeled by two 1-D linearized resistive diffusion We first propose a combined both stability analysis. A composite then synthesized singular perturbation theory where fast component decoupled from slow induced magnetic field...
