Liposomes derived from molecular vases

A Novel Molecular Descriptor Derived from Weighted Line Graph

The Bertz indices, derived by counting the number of connecting edges of line graphs of a molecule were used in deriving the QSPR models for the physicochemical properties of alkanes. The inability of these indices to identify the hetero centre in a chemical compound restricted their applications to hydrocarbons only. In the present work, a novel molecular descriptor has been derived from the w...

Molecular docking and druggability studies of terpenoid-derived metabolites from marine sponges as IL-17A inhibitors

In this study, physicochemical properties of 49 compounds extracted from anti-inflammatory sponge species with the aim of ADMET test and Lipinski rule of five have been determined. Fourteen compounds, which showed best results, were subjected to molecular docking studies with IL-17. Among these compounds, Four compounds with low binding energy were obtained. These compounds, namely, frondosins ...

”Acoustics vases in ancient theatres: disposition, analysis from the ancient tetracordal musical system”

Reduced mosquito production in cemetery vases with copper liners.

Water-holding stone vases were sampled in 4 central Florida cemeteries to compare the prevalence of mosquitoes in containers with and without metallic liners. Overall, immature mosquitoes were found in more than 60% of the vases lacking liners and in more than 50% of the vases with aluminum liners. Significantly fewer vases with copper liners were positive for mosquitoes. High mortality and a l...

Visual Information Vases: Towards a Framework for Transmedia Creative Inspiration

Inspiration is an important aspect of human creativity and one that creative systems are only recently implementing. In this research, we describe and implement a transmedia creative inspiration model for generative art systems. Our implementation of this model is Visual Information Vases (VIV), an artificially intelligent ceramicist that creates 3D-printable vases using inspiration from a user...
