Mechanisms of protein-folding diseases at a glance

For a protein to function appropriately, it must first achieve its proper conformation and location within the crowded environment inside the cell.Multiple chaperone systems are required to fold proteins correctly.In addition, degradation pathways participate by destroying improperly folded proteins.The intricacy of this multisystem process provide

Application of the LMS algorithm to identify the surface velocity responsible for the radiated sound pressure

A time domain approach based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is applied to reconstruct the source amplitude and source distribution on a plate.For this a numerical experiment is established.A boundary element model is used to calculate the required impulse response functions describing the pressure in near- and far-field for a given volume
