Recent experimental studies of protein folding and binding under crowded solutions suggest that crowding agents exert subtle influences on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the proteins. While some of the crowding effects can be understood qualitatively from simple models of the proteins, quantitative rationalization of these effects requ...

BackgroundLong terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are a class of eukaryotic mobile elements characterized by a distinctive sequence similarity-based structure. Hence they are well suited for computational identification. Current software allows for a comprehensive genome-wide de novo detection of such elements. The obvious next step is the clas...

We propose a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to numerically solve the Oseen equations which can be seen as the linearized version of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We use same polynomial degree to approximate the velocity, its gradient and the pressure. With a special projection and postprocessing, we obtain optimal co...

An adaptive local postprocessing finite element method for the Navier-Stokes equations is presented in this paper. We firstly solve the problem on a relative coarse grid to get a rough approximation. Then, we correct the rough approximation by solving a series of approximate local residual equations defined on some local fine grids, which can be im...

68Ga has attracted tremendous interest as a radionuclide for PET based on its suitable half-life of 68 min, high positron emission yield and ready availability from 68Ge/68Ga generators, making it independent of cyclotron production. 68Ga-labelled DOTA-conjugated somatostatin analogues, including DOTA-TOC, DOTA-TATE and DOTA-NOC, have driven the de...

Computational Optimization and Applications
A specific elliptic linear-quadratic optimal control problem with Neumann boundary control is investigated. The control has to fulfil inequality constraints. The domain is assumed to be polygonal with reentrant corners. The asymptotic behaviour of two approaches to compute the optimal control is discussed. In the first the piecewise constant approx...

A very useful service to the example-based machine translation (EBMT) community was provided by Harold Somers in his summary article which appeared in 1999, and was extended in our 2003 book Recent advances in example-based machine translation. As well as providing a comprehensive review of the paradigm, Somers gives a categorisation of the differe...
