One of the challenges in biocomputing is to enable the efficient use of a wide variety of fast-evolving computational methods to simulate, analyze, and understand the complex properties and interactions of molecular systems. Our laboratory investigates several areas including molecular visualization, protein-ligand docking, protein-protein docking, molecular surfaces, and the derivation of phen...

The most important aspect of any Software is the operability for the intended audience. This factor of operability is encompassed in the user interface, which serves as the only window to the features of the system. It is thus essential that the User Interface provided is robust, concise and lucid. Presently there are no properly defined rules or guidelines for user interface design enabling a ...

Chemical plants have to be designed based on uncertain thermodynamic, kinetic and equipment performance correlations, market forecasts, raw material and product prices. They have to be able to adjust to changes in operating conditions, disturbance levels, product specifications, product distribution and demand, and they should be able to tolerate equipment malfunction without leading to serious...

No fee may be charged for distribution of copies beyond the cost of copying. Any use of the material in part or in whole must include a citation of the source. License for non-university use For ...

The theory of reliability has been developed in order to ensure operability of technical objects (components and systems). However, no thorough explanation of the term “functional reliability” is given by now, although it is used with increasing frequency. We deduce a definition based on the terms property, quality and function.. In this connection, we draw attention on the principal difference...
