This paper investigates the motion planning problem of planar m-link (m≥4) closed chains Amino Acid Multiple among point obstacles with extension to arbitrary convex 2-D obstacles.The configuration space (C-space) of closed chains is embedded into two copies of m-3 dimensional tori.Two structural sets, the C-boundaries and the C-obstacles, a
Speeding up quantum dissipative dynamics of open systems with kernel methods
The future forecasting ability of machine learning (ML) makes ML a promising tool for predicting long-time quantum dissipative dynamics of open systems.In this article, Model Kits we employ nonparametric ML algorithm (kernel ridge regression as a representative of the kernel methods) to study the quantum dissipative dynamics of the widely-used spin
Inhibition of biofilm formation and virulence factors of cariogenic oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans by natural flavonoid phloretin
ABSTRACTObjectives To evaluate the effect and mechanism of action of the flavonoid phloretin on the growth and sucrose-dependent biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans.Methods Minimum inhibitory concentration, viability, and biofilm susceptibility assays were conducted to assess antimicrobial and antibiofilm effect of phloretin.Biofilm compositi
Reputation Effects in Public and Private Interactions.
We study the evolution of cooperation in a model of indirect reciprocity where people interact in public and private situations.Public interactions have a high chance to be observed by others and always affect reputation.Private interactions have a lower chance to be observed and only occasionally affect reputation.We explore all Left Crank Arm sec
Ten simple rules for socially responsible science.
Guidelines concerning the potentially harmful effects of scientific studies have historically focused on ethical considerations for minimizing risk for participants.However, studies can also indirectly inflict harm on individuals and social groups through how they are designed, reported, and disseminated.As evidenced by recent criticisms and retrac
