A DAFT DL_POLY distributed memory adaptation of the Smoothed Particle Mesh Ewald method

The Smoothed Particle Mesh Ewald method [U. Essmann, L. Perera, M.L. Berkowtz, T. Darden, H. Lee, L.G. Pedersen, J. Chem. Phys. 103 (1995) 8577] for calculating long ranged forces in molecular simulation has been adapted for the parallel molecular dynamics code DL_POLY_3 [I.T. Todorov, W. Smith, Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London 362 (2004) 1835], making use of a novel 3D Fast Fourier Transform (DAFT) [I.J. Bush, The Daresbury Advanced Fourier transform, Daresbury Laboratory, 1999] that perfectly matches the Domain Decomposition (DD) parallelisation strategy [W. Smith, Comput. Phys. Comm. 62 (1991) 229; M.R.S. Pinches, D. Tildesley, W. Smith, Mol. Sim. 6 (1991) 51; D. Rapaport, Comput. Phys. Comm. 62 (1991) 217] of the DL_POLY_3 code.

Comparison of computational approaches for predicting the effects of missense mutations on p53 function

We applied our recently developed kinetic computational mutagenesis (KCM) approach [L.T. Chong, W.C. Swope, J.W. Pitera, V.S. Pande, Kinetic computational alanine scanning: application to p53 oligomerization, J. Mol. Biol. 357 (3) (2006) 1039–1049] along with the MM-GBSA approach [J. Srinivasan, T.E. Cheatham 3rd, P. Cieplak, P.A. Kollman, D.A. Case, Continuum solvent studies of the stability of DNA, RNA, and phosphoramidate-DNA helices, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120 (37) (1998) 9401–9409; P.A. Kollman, I. Massova, C.M.

Res. 33 (12) (2000) 889–897] to evaluate the effects of all possible missense mutations on dimerization of the oligomerization domain (residues 326–355) of tumor suppressor p53. The true positive and true negative rates for KCM are comparable (within 5%) to those of MM-GBSA, although MM-GBSA is much less computationally intensive when it is applied to a single energy-minimized configuration per mutant dimer. The potential advantage of KCM is that it can be used to directly examine the kinetic effects of mutations.

Taylor polynomial solution of hyperbolic type partial differential equations with constant coefficients

The purpose of this study is to give a Taylor polynomial approximation for the solution of hyperbolic type partial differential equations with constant coefficients. The technique used is an improved Taylor matrix method, which has been given for solving ordinary differential, integral and integro-differential equations [M. Gülsu and M. Sezer, A method for the approximate solution of the high-order linear difference equations in terms of Taylor polynomials, Int. J. Comput. Math. 82(5) (2005), pp. 629–642; M. Gülsu and M.

Monte Carlo methods for computing the capacitance of the unit cube

It is well known that there is no analytic expression for the electrical capacitance of the unit cube. However, there are several Monte Carlo methods that have been used to numerically estimate this capacitance to high accuracy. These include a Brownian dynamics algorithm [H.-X. Zhou, A. Szabo, J.F. Douglas, J.B. Hubbard, A Brownian dynamics algorithm for calculating the hydrodynamic friction and the electrostatic capacitance of an arbitrarily shaped object, J. Chem. Phys. 100 (5) (1994) 3821–3826] coupled to the “walk on spheres” (WOS) method [M.E. Müller, Some continuous Monte Carlo methods for the Dirichlet problem, Ann. Math. Stat. 27 (1956) 569–589]; the Green’s function first-passage (GFFP) algorithm [J.A. Given, J.B. Hubbard, J.F. Douglas, A first-passage algorithm for the hydrodynamic friction and diffusion-limited reaction rate of macromolecules, J. Chem. Phys. 106 (9) (1997) 3721–3771]; an error-controlling Brownian dynamics algorithm [C.-O. Hwang, M. Mascagni, Capacitance of the unit cube, J. Korean Phys. Soc. 42 (2003) L1–L4]; an extrapolation technique coupled to the WOS method [C.-O. Hwang, Extrapolation technique in the “walk on spheres” method for the capacitance of the unit cube, J. Korean Phys. Soc. 44 (2) (2004) 469–470]; the “walk on planes” (WOP) method [M.L. Mansfield, J.F. Douglas, E.J. Garboczi, Intrinsic viscosity and the electrical polarizability of arbitrarily shaped objects, Phys. Rev. E 64 (6) (2001) 061401:1–061401:16; C.-O. Hwang, M. Mascagni, Electrical capacitance of the unit cube, J. Appl. Phys. 95 (7) (2004) 3798–3802]; and the random “walk on the boundary” (WOB) method [M. Mascagni, N.A. Simonov, The random walk on the boundary method for calculating capacitance, J. Comp. Phys. 195 (2004) 465–473]. Monte Carlo methods are convenient and efficient for problems whose solution includes singularities. In the calculation of the unit cube capacitance, there are edge and corner singularities in the charge density distribution. In this paper, we review the above Monte Carlo methods for computing the electrical capacitance of a cube and compare their effectiveness. We also provide a new result. We will focus our attention particularly on two Monte Carlo methods: WOP [M.L. Mansfield, J.F. Douglas, E.J. Garboczi, Intrinsic viscosity and the electrical polarizability of arbitrarily shaped objects, Phys. Rev. E 64 (6) (2001) 061401:1–061401:16; C.-O. Hwang, M. Mascagni, Electrical capacitance of the unit cube, J. Appl. Phys. 95 (7) (2004) 3798–3802; C.-O. Hwang, T. Won, Edge charge singularity of conductors, J. Korean Phys. Soc. 45 (2004) S551–S553] and the random WOB [M. Mascagni, N.A. Simonov, The random walk on the boundary method for calculating capacitance, J. Comp. Phys. 195 (2004) 465–473] methods.     

On the convergence of Newton-type methods using recurrent functions

We introduce the new idea of recurrent functions to provide a new semilocal convergence analysis for Newton-type methods. It turns out that our sufficient convergence conditions are weaker, and the error bounds are tighter than in earlier studies in many interesting cases [X. Chen, On the convergence of Broyden-like methods for nonlinear equations with nondifferentiable terms, Ann. Inst. Statist. Math. 42 (1990), pp. 387–401; X. Chen and T.

RFRCDB-siRNA: improved design of siRNAs by random forest regression model coupled with database searching

Although the observations concerning the factors which influence the siRNA efficacy give clues to the mechanism of RNAi, the quantitative prediction of the siRNA efficacy is still a challenge task. In this paper, we introduced a novel non-linear regression method: random forest regression (RFR), to quantitatively estimate siRNAs efficacy values. Compared with an alternative machine learning regression algorithm, support vector machine regression (SVR) and four other score-based algorithms [A. Reynolds, D. Leake, Q. Boese, S. Scaringe, W.S. Marshall, A. Khvorova, Rational siRNA design for RNA interference, Nat. Biotechnol. 22 (2004) 326-330; K. Ui-Tei, Y. Naito, F. Takahashi, T. Haraguchi, H. Ohki-Hamazaki, A. Juni, R. Ueda, K. Saigo, Guidelines for the selection of highly effective siRNA sequences for mammalian and chick RNA interference, Nucleic Acids Res. 32 (2004) 936-948; A.C. Hsieh, R. Bo, J. Manola, F. Vazquez, O. Bare, A. Khvorova, S. Scaringe, W.R. Sellers, A library of siRNA duplexes targeting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway: determinants of gene silencing for use in cell-based screens, Nucleic Acids Res. 32 (2004) 893-901; M. Amarzguioui, H. Prydz, An algorithm for selection of functional siRNA sequences, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 316 (2004) 1050-1058) our RFR model achieved the best performance of all. A web-server, RFRCDB-siRNA (http://www.bioinf.seu.edu.cn/siRNA/index.htm), has been developed. RFRCDB-siRNA consists of two modules: a siRNA-centric database and a RFR prediction system. RFRCDB-siRNA works as follows: (1) Instead of directly predicting the gene silencing activity of siRNAs, the service takes these siRNAs as queries to search against the siRNA-centric database. The matched sequences with the exceeding the user defined functionality value threshold are kept. (2) The mismatched sequences are then processed into the RFR prediction system for further analysis.     

DPEMC: A Monte Carlo for double diffraction

We extend the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator developed by B. Cox and J. Forshaw, to include new models of central production through inclusive and exclusive double Pomeron exchange in proton-proton collisions. Double photon exchange processes are described as well, both in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. In all contexts, various models have been implemented, allowing for comparisons and uncertainty evaluation and enabling detailed experimental simulations.
