The size of conformational ensembles required for regular coverage of the conformational space of druglike molecules was examined. Using the conformer generation program Omega, the number of regularly distributed conformers (NRC) of flexible compounds was determined as a function of the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) resolution of coverage. A regression equation was developed predicting the ...

A set of perception experiments, using reiterant speech, were designed to carry out a diagnostic of the segmentation / hierarchisation linguistic function of prosody. The prosodic parameters of F0, syllabic duration and intensity of the stimuli used during this experiment were extracted. Several dissimilarity measures (Correlation, root-mean-square distance and mutual information) were used to ...

In this paper we develop a framework, based on strand spaces, for reasoning about cryptographic protocols and characterizing their executions. We define skeletons, homomorphisms, and shapes. Skeletons model partial information about regular (honest) behavior in an execution of a cryptographic protocol. A homomorphism between skeletons is an information-preserving map. Much protocol analysis may...

Algorithmic skeletons are seen as being high level parallel programming language constructs encapsulating the expression of parallelism communication synchronisa tion embedding and costing This report examines the classi cation of algorithmic skeletons proposing one classi cation and examining others which have been devised Various algorithmic skeletons are examined and these are categorised to...

stable isotope analysis, being used in many research areas, has also been applied in archaeology during the last three decades to address questions regarding the paleoclimatology and ancient diet, mobility and migration. despite the growing number of the application of stable isotope analysis in archaeological studies, there is a very few research in this regard in archaeology of iran. this res...

Skeletons are widely used in pattern recognition and image analysis. A way to obtain skeletons is the thinning approach, consisting in iteratively removing points from the object without changing the topology. In order to preserve geometric information, it is usual to preserve curve end points (for curve skeletons) or surface end points (for surface skeletons). In this paper we propose a new fa...
