Revisiting the "satisfaction of spatial restraints" approach of MODELLER for protein homology modeling. by Giacomo Janson, Alessandro Grottesi, Marco Pietrosanto, Gabriele Ausiello, Giulia Guarguaglini, Alessandro Paiardini

“…We show that the σ values produced by MODELLER are on average weakly correlated to the true level of structural divergence between target-template pairs and that increasing this correlation greatly improves the program's predictions, especially in multiple-template modeling. …”

Poverty, food insufficiency and HIV infection and sexual behaviour among young rural Zimbabwean women. by Sophie J S Pascoe, Lisa F Langhaug, Webster Mavhu, James Hargreaves, Shabbar Jaffar, Richard Hayes, Frances M Cowan

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study provides evidence from Zimbabwe that among young poor women, economic need and food insufficiency are associated with the adoption of unsafe behaviours. Targeted structural interventions that aim to tackle social and economic constraints including insufficient food should be developed and evaluated alongside behaviour and biomedical interventions, as a component of HIV prevention programming and policy.…”

IMPROVED PROCESS FLOW FOR FORMATION OF BIPOLAR STATIC INDUCTION TRANSISTOR by N. L. Lagunovich

“…Thus the device-process simulation represents a certain “virtual production” for manufacturing semiconductor devices and microcircuits beginning from the startup stage of semiconductor wafer at production site and finishing by electrical characteristics measurements of the obtained structure. The BSIT device simulation being an analog of direct measurements of current-voltage characteristics has been performed with help of program system MOD-1D developed by the author. …”
