the molecular dynamics (md) simulation method is used to assess structural details for humanprion protein (hereafter prpn) and its asp178 asn mutant (hereafter prpm) which causes fatalfamilial insomnia disease. the results reveal that the flexibility and instability increase in prpmcould be related to specific amino acids exposed to the solvent. solvation free energy of prpm is 20kjmot1nni2 mor...

We employ the methods of neural network (hereafter NN) and genetic programming (hereafter GP) in this paper to construct a spread trading system, respectively, to forecast the trend of the price spread between Taiwan Stock Exchange Electronic Index Futures (hereafter TE) and Taiwan Stock Exchange Finance Sector Index Futures (hereafter TF).

Potential biases in tree-ring reconstructed Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) are evaluated using Thornthwaite (TH), Penman–Monteith (PM), and self-calibrating Penman–Monteith (SC) PDSI in three diverse regions of theUnited States and tree-ring chronologies from theNorthAmerican drought atlas (NADA).Minimal differences are found between the three PDSI reconstructions and all compare favorabl...
