S-8. Impedance Method for Localizing Brain Structures

A method for localizing ligand binding pockets in protein structures.

The accurate identification of ligand binding sites in protein structures can be valuable in determining protein function. Once the binding site is known, it becomes easier to perform in silico and experimental procedures that may allow the ligand type and the protein function to be determined. For example, binding pocket shape analysis relies heavily on the correct localization of the ligand b...

A New Method for the Extraction of the Equivalent Impedance of Complex 3-D Interconnect Structures

In this paper a new method is presented for the extraction of the frequency-dependent per-unit-length resistance and inductance parameters of complex 3D interconnect structures. The method is derived from an integral formulation of the magneto-quasi-static approximation of Maxwell equations, as well as the popular PEEC method. The difference with respect to PEEC is in the use of a two-component...

Impedance Measurement Setup for Higher-order Mode Studies in Nlc Accelerating Structures with the Wire Method

Dipole modes are the main cause of transverse emittance dilution in the Japanese Linear Collider / Next Linear Collider (JLC/NLC). A diagnostic setup has been built in order to investigate them. The method is based on using a coaxial wire to excite and measure electromagnetic modes of accelerating structures. This method can offer a more efficient and less expensive procedure than the ASSET fac...
