Numerical Investigation of Pull-In Instability in a Micro-Switch MEMS Device through the Pseudo-Spectral Method by P. Di Maida, G. Bianchi

“…As well known, pull-in instability arises when the acting force reaches a critical threshold beyond which equilibrium is no longer possible. In particular, Coulomb electrostatic force is considered, although the method can be easily generalized to account for fringe as well as Casimir effects. …”

Control of atropoisomerism: an access to valuable compounds by Choppin, Sabine, Wencel-Delord, Joanna, Colobert, Françoise

“…Many natural, biologically active compounds are stereogenic with a unique tridimensional structure that is on the origin of the specific interactions with the active binding site.This concept of chirality goes beyond chiral stereocenters, englobing also atropoisomerism related to a hindered rotation around an axis with the isolation of atropostable conformers at room temperature. …”

Severe deviation in protein fold prediction by advanced AI: a case study by Jacinto López-Sagaseta, Alejandro Urdiciain

“…We observe positional divergence in equivalent residues beyond 30 Å, and an overall RMSD of 7.7 Å. Significant deviation between experimental structures and AI-predicted models echoes the presence of unusual conformations, insufficient training data and high complexity in protein folding that can ultimately lead to current limitations in protein structure prediction.…”

Determining university’s readiness to implement AI technologies for personalizing educational paths by V. S. Starostin, K. A. Arzhanova, D. V. Dolgopolov, A. D. Ditrikh

“…Methods of machine learning, predictive analytics, and modern generative neural networks allow to create recommendation services, with the help of which individual educational trajectories are formed by machine intelligence, simultaneously considering hundreds of parameters. Beyond the tasks of IET formation, machine intelligence can successfully solve tasks for other stakeholders of the university such as professors, researchers, and administration.…”
