In article number 1600394, Almira Kurbangalieva, Katsunori Tanaka, and co-workers at the RIKEN Biofunctional Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory develop a way to engineer glycan complexes— heterogeneous clusters of sugar chains attached to proteins or lipids—in a way that allows the molecules to be transported preferentially to specific organs of the body through pattern recognition mechanisms, depe...

Commercial graphics processors (GPUs) have high compute capacity at very low cost, which makes them attractive for general purpose scientific computing. In this paper we show how graphics processors can be used for N -body simulations to obtain improvements in performance over current generation CPUs. We have developed a highly optimized algorithm for performing the O(N) force calculations that...

A novel framework for modelling biomolecular systems at multiple scales in space and time simultaneously is described. The atomistic molecular dynamics representation is smoothly connected with a statistical continuum hydrodynamics description. The system behaves correctly at the limits of pure molecular dynamics (hydrodynamics) and at the intermediate regimes when the atoms move partly as atom...

A π-conjugated coordination nanosheet comprising bis(aminothiolato)nickel (NiAT) moieties was synthesized by the reaction of Ni(acac)2 with 1,3,5-triaminobenzene-2,4,6-trithiol at liquid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces. The sheet thickness could be controlled down to a single layer (0.6 nm). Selected area electron diffraction and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction analyses indicated the forma...

Received the M.Sc. and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland in 1997 and 2001 respectively. The NATO Organisation awarded Dr. Leonowicz an Advanced Fellowship in 2001 and he spent this fellowship at the Technical University of Dresden (Germany). He has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Wroclaw University of Technology (Po...

In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient method for drawing very large-scale graph data. The conventional force-directed method proposed by Fruchterman and Rheingold (FR method) is well-known. It defines repulsive forces between every pair of nodes and attractive forces between connected nodes on a edge and calculates corresponding potential energy. An optimal layout is obtained by iterat...
