The RosettaCon 2012 Special Collection: Code Writ on Water, Documentation Writ in Stone

Rosetta is a powerful software suite for the modeling and design of macromolecules [1]. Originally written within the laboratory of David Baker, the Rosetta developers community (RosettaCommons, https://www.rosettacommons.org/) has expanded to encompass hundreds of developers across tens of institutions. The Rosetta community, from software developers to academic and industry users, meets yearl...

In Cypher Writ

Digital Scholarship is a method of scholarly communication, research, and exchange of ideas that employs modern forms of technology, in particular, those forms of technology maintained within an institution’s cyberinfrastructure. Digital scholarship then is often, in equal parts, the intellectual content and the manner in which it is created and presented. That is what sets it apart from, for e...

Seeing through water

We consider the problem of recovering an underwater image distorted by surface waves. A large amount of video data of the distorted image is acquired. The problem is posed in terms of finding an undistorted image patch at each spatial location. This challenging reconstruction task can be formulated as a manifold learning problem, such that the center of the manifold is the image of the undistor...

Quantum mechanics writ large

S ome two centuries before the quantum revolution, Newton (1) suggested that corpuscles of light generate waves in an aethereal medium like skipping stones generate waves in water, with their motion then being affected by these aether waves. Times have changed. Light corpuscles are now known as photons, and the majority of physicists have dispensed with the notion of aether. Nevertheless, certa...
