In this paper, dynamic simulations of the seasonal coefficient performance (SCOP) Air-Source Heat Pumps will be presented by considering three different heat pump systems coupled with same building located in Italian municipalities: S. Benedetto del Tronto (42°58′ North, 13°53′ East), Milan (45°28′ 9°10′ and Livigno (46°28′ 10°8′ East). Dynamic were conducted employing software package TRNSYS r...

The refrigerant used in heat pumps significantly influences the overall system performance. However, selecting a proper is no trivial matter due to pumps’ sensitivity selected flowsheet, components, and operating conditions. Herein, holistic approach that covers all these interdependencies simultaneously considering fluid‐dependent compressor efficiencies, point. Six low global warming potentia...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the best-studied model organisms, yet the three-dimensional structure and molecular function of many yeast proteins remain unknown. Yeast proteins were parsed into 14,934 domains, and those lacking sequence similarity to proteins of known structure were folded using the Rosetta de novo structure prediction method on the World Community Grid. This structural da...

BACKGROUND Kosovo represents a unique hotspot of biological and cultural diversity in Europe, which allows for interesting cross-cultural ethnobotanical studies. The aims of this study were twofold: 1) to document the state of traditional knowledge related to local (esp. wild) plant uses for food, medicine, and handicrafts in south Kosovo; and 2) to examine how communities of different ethnic g...

The Fragnostic (http://ffas.burnham.org/Fragnostic) web tool implements a novel and useful view of protein structure space. We mined a non-redundant subset of the PDB for common fragments shared between proteins inhabiting different SCOP folds. Subsequently, we formulated an inter-fold similarity measure based on fragment sharing. Fold space is described as a graph whose nodes are folds between...

The database of multiple alignments for protein structures (DMAPS) provides instant access to pre-computed multiple structure alignments for all protein structure families in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Protein structure families have been obtained from four distinct classification methods including SCOP, CATH, ENZYME and CE, and multiple structure alignments have been built for all families c...

Finding similarity between a pair of protein structures is one of the fundamental tasks in many areas of bioinformatical research such as protein structure prediction, function mapping, etc. We propose a method for finding pairing of amino acids based on densities of the structures and we also propose a modification to the original template modeling-score (TM-Score) rotation algorithm that asse...

The Structural Classi®cation of Proteins (SCOP) database provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the relationships of all known protein structures. The classi®cation is on hierarchical levels: the ®rst two levels, family and superfamily, describe near and far evolutionary relationships; the third, fold, describes geometrical relationships. The distinction between evolutionary relat...

The quantum inspired State Context Property (SCOP) theory of concepts is unique amongst theories of concepts in offering a means of incorporating that for each concept in each different context there are an unlimited number of exemplars, or states, of varying degrees of typicality. Working with data from a study in which participants were asked to rate the typicality of exemplars of a concept f...
