A SUGGESTION LOOKING TOWARDS ULTRA-MICROSCOPY

A Suggestion on Suggestion

Towards Ultra Rapid Restarts

We observe a trend regarding restart strategies used in SAT solvers. A few years ago, most state-of-the-art solvers restarted on average after a few thousands of backtracks. Currently, restarting after a dozen backtracks results in much better performance. The main reason for this trend is that heuristics and data structures have become more restart-friendly. We expect further continuation of t...

A forward-looking suggestion for resolving the stereochemical restraints debate: ideal geometry functions.

# 2008 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Singapore – all rights reserved Jaskolski et al. (2007a) initiated a very important discussion (Jaskolski et al., 2007b; Stec, 2007; Tickle, 2007) about the accuracy of ideal geometry targets and the appropriate stringency with which they should be obeyed at various resolutions. All of the discussants agree that protein structures determi...

TIRF microscopy with ultra-short penetration depth.

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF), in both commercial and custom-built configurations, is widely used for high signal-noise ratio imaging. The imaging depth of traditional TIRF is sensitive to the incident angle of the laser, and normally limited to around 100 nm. In our paper, using a high refractive index material and the evanescent waves of various waveguide modes, we ...

Towards a Cloud-based Design and Manufacturing Paradigm: Looking Backward, Looking Forward

The rise of cloud computing is radically changing the way enterprises manage their information technology (IT) assets. Considering the benefits of cloud computing to the information technology sector, we present a review of current research initiatives and applications of the cloud computing paradigm related to product design and manufacturing. In particular, we focus on exploring the potential...
