The shortest tube of constant diameter that can form a given knot represents the 'ideal' form of the knot. Ideal knots provide an irreducible representation of the knot, and they have some intriguing mathematical and physical features, including a direct correspondence with the time-averaged shapes of knotted DNA molecules in solution. Here we describe the properties of ideal forms of composite knots-knots obtained by the sequential tying of two or more independent knots (called factor knots) on the same string. We find that the writhe (related to the handedness of crossing points) of composite knots is the sum of that of the ideal forms of the factor knots. By comparing ideal composite knots with simulated configurations of knotted, thermally fluctuating DNA, we conclude that the additivity of writhe applies also to randomly distorted configurations of composite knots and their corresponding factor knots. We show that composite knots with several factor knots may possess distinct structural isomers that can be interconverted only by loosening the knot.

La dinàmica de fluids computacional (CFD) és una eina que serveix per analitzar mitjançantcomputadors diferents problemes que involucren fluxos de fluids. Els programes de CFD usen expressions matemàtiques no lineals que defineixen les equacions fonamentals de fluxos i transport de calor en fluids. Aquestes es resolen amb complexos algoritmes iteratius. Actualment aquesta eina és una part fonamental en els procés de disseny en moltes empreses relacionades amb la dinàmica de fluids. Les simulacions que es realitzen ambaquests programes s’ha demostrat que són fiables i que estalvien temps i diners, ja que eviten haver de realitzar els costosos processos d’assaig-error. En el projecte s’utilitza el programa de CFD Ansys CFX 11.0 per simular una agitació bifàsica composta per aigua i aire a temperatura ambient. Els objectius són determinar els paràmetres òptims de simulació que permetin recrear aquesta agitació, per posteriorment dissenyar un nou impulsor

The rebinding of NO to myoglobin after photolysis is studied using the 'reactive molecular dynamics' method. In this approach the energy of the system is evaluated on two potential energy surfaces that include the heme-ligand interactions which change between liganded and unliganded myoglobin. This makes it possible to take into account in a simple way, the high dimensionality of the transition seam connecting the reactant and product states. The dynamics of the dissociated NO molecules are examined, and the geometrical and energetic properties of the transition seam are studied. Analysis of the frequency of recrossing shows that the height of the effective rebinding barrier is dependent on the time after photodissociation. This effect is due mainly to protein relaxation and may contribute to the experimentally observed non-exponential rebinding rate of NO, as has been suggested previously.

The origin of new genes through gene duplication is fundamental to the evolution of lineage- or species-specific phenotypic traits. In this report, we estimate the number of functional retrogenes on the lineage leading to humans generated by the high rate of retroposition (retroduplication) in primates. Extensive comparative sequencing and expression studies coupled with evolutionary analyses and simulations suggest that a significant proportion of recent retrocopies represent bona fide human genes. We estimate that at least one new retrogene per million years emerged on the human lineage during the past approximately 63 million years of primate evolution. Detailed analysis of a subset of the data shows that the majority of retrogenes are specifically expressed in testis, whereas their parental genes show broad expression patterns. Consistently, most retrogenes evolved functional roles in spermatogenesis. Proteins encoded by X chromosome-derived retrogenes were strongly preserved by purifying selection following the duplication event, supporting the view that they may act as functional autosomal substitutes during X-inactivation of late spermatogenesis genes. Also, some retrogenes acquired a new or more adapted function driven by positive selection. We conclude that retroduplication significantly contributed to the formation of recent human genes and that most new retrogenes were progressively recruited during primate evolution by natural and/or sexual selection to enhance male germline function.

Exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main causative factor for skin cancer. UV exposure depends on environmental and individual factors, but individual exposure data remain scarce. While ground UV irradiance is monitored via different techniques, it is difficult to translate such observations into human UV exposure or dose because of confounding factors. A multi-disciplinary collaboration developed a model predicting the dose and distribution of UV exposure on the basis of ground irradiation and morphological data. Standard 3D computer graphics techniques were adapted to develop a simulation tool that estimates solar exposure of a virtual manikin depicted as a triangle mesh surface. The amount of solar energy received by various body locations is computed for direct, diffuse and reflected radiation separately. Dosimetric measurements obtained in field conditions were used to assess the model performance. The model predicted exposure to solar UV adequately with a symmetric mean absolute percentage error of 13% and half of the predictions within 17% range of the measurements. Using this tool, solar UV exposure patterns were investigated with respect to the relative contribution of the direct, diffuse and reflected radiation. Exposure doses for various body parts and exposure scenarios of a standing individual were assessed using erythemally-weighted UV ground irradiance data measured in 2009 at Payerne, Switzerland as input. For most anatomical sites, mean daily doses were high (typically 6.2-14.6 Standard Erythemal Dose, SED) and exceeded recommended exposure values. Direct exposure was important during specific periods (e. g. midday during summer), but contributed moderately to the annual dose, ranging from 15 to 24% for vertical and horizontal body parts, respectively. Diffuse irradiation explained about 80% of the cumulative annual exposure dose.

This paper presents the distributed environment for virtual and/or real experiments for underwater robots (DEVRE). This environment is composed of a set of processes running on a local area network composed of three sites: 1) the onboard AUV computer; 2) a surface computer used as human-machine interface (HMI); and 3) a computer used for simulating the vehicle dynamics and representing the virtual world. The HMI can be transparently linked to the real sensors and actuators dealing with a real mission. It can also be linked with virtual sensors and virtual actuators, dealing with a virtual mission. The aim of DEVRE is to assist engineers during the software development and testing in the lab prior to real experiments

Piecewise linear models systems arise as mathematical models of systems in many practical applications, often from linearization for nonlinear systems. There are two main approaches of dealing with these systems according to their continuous or discrete-time aspects. We propose an approach which is based on the state transformation, more particularly the partition of the phase portrait in different regions where each subregion is modeled as a two-dimensional linear time invariant system. Then the Takagi-Sugeno model, which is a combination of local model is calculated. The simulation results show that the Alpha partition is well-suited for dealing with such a system

L'objecte del projecte consisteix en investigar les capacitats del programari dedinàmica de fluids computacional FLUENT per simular processos transitoris de combustióquan es cremen sòlids. Com el programari FLUENT no incorpora cap mòdul de combustióde sòlids prims, s'hauran de realitzar les funcions d'usuari adients per tal d'incorporar lesequacions i les condicions de contorns que són rellevants en aquests tipus de problemes. Elmodel resultant es validarà amb dades experimentals per a la combustió de fulls decel•lulosa en flames bidimensionals. També es durà a terme una anàlisi de sensibilitat de lasolució variant els paràmetres del model. En funció dels resultats de la validació es durà aterme una extensió del model per a situacions tridimensionals
