Abstract Objective: to provide an overview of the associations between occupational exposure and risk occurrence or death from cancer. Methods: this umbrella review used Medline Web Science databases. Based on search protocol, meta-analysis was included for several circumstances selected cancers that had some level evidence associated with occupation. Results: 37 were included, covering 18 canc...

In this paper we introduce Oto-Shigure, an umbrella-shaped sound generator for musical expression. Attention of the music computing community hasn't been focusing on sound output but sound input. However, we argue that in order to make highly expressive sounds, it is significant to increase methods for sound output. Therefore, we developed the new sound-generating device for variety of musical ...

A method of window exchange umbrella sampling molecular dynamics simulation is employed for transmembrane helix assembly. An analytical expression for the average acceptance probability between neighboring windows is derived and combined with the first passage time optimization method to predetermine a parameter set in an optimal range. With the parameter set, the method provides a substantiall...

We develop an efficient technique for computing free energies corresponding to conformational transitions in complex systems by combining a Monte Carlo ensemble of trajectories generated by the shooting algorithm with umbrella sampling. Motivated by the transition path sampling method, our scheme "BOLAS" (named after a cowboy's lasso) preserves microscopic reversibility and leads to the correct...
