G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are found to be attractive drug targets for the treatment of various neuronal diseases. Allosteric modulators have their role in enhancing or suppressing the effect of glutamate on mGluRs. Structure of mGluR1 was generated with the help of Modeller software by considering human B2-adrenergic GPCR protein as template. Structure of various already known drug mo...

Container technology is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional virtual machines because it provides a faster, lighter, and more portable runtime environment for the applications. A container bundles application its binary code, libraries, configuration files together while sharing host operating system image. Accordingly, containers efficiently share resources operate sm...

Tele-Lab is a platform for e-learning in Internet security with a special focus on teaching by means of handson experience. A virtual laboratory is implemented for the provision of training environments for practical exercises. Tele-Lab uses virtual machine (VM) technology and virtual network devices. A VM is used to represent a physical computer in an exercise scenario. While every VM needs a ...

9 Genomic pipelines consist of several pieces of third party software and, because their experimental 10 nature, frequent changes and updates are commonly necessary thus raising serious distribution and 11 reproducibility issues. Docker containers technology offers an ideal solution, as it allows the 12 packaging of pipelines in an isolated and self-contained manner. This makes it easy to distr...

We present a container-based architecture for supporting autonomic data stream processing application on Fog computing infrastructures. Our architecture runs applications as Docker containers, and it exploits Docker’s native features to dynamically scale up/down the resources of a Fog node assigned to the applications running on it. Preliminary results demonstrate that Docker containers are app...

Linux container technologies, as represented by Docker, provide an alternative to complex and time-consuming installation processes needed for scientific software. The ease of deployment and the process isolation they enable, as well as the reproducibility they permit across environments and versions, are among the qualities that make them interesting candidates for the construction of bioinfor...

Linux container technologies, as represented by Docker, provide an alternative to complex and time-consuming installation processes needed for scientific software. The ease of deployment and the process isolation they enable, as well as the reproducibility they permit across environments and versions, are among the qualities that make them interesting candidates for the construction of bioinform...

Because of growing demand to preserve and share reproducible computational experiments in scientific community, there has been interest in using Docker Linux Containers as a preservation mechanism. However, this is insufficient to help researches to comprehend ”Dockerized” experiments and connect computational artifacts with concepts in peer-reviewed publications. We present here an ontology an...
