Towards rational de novo design of peptides for inorganic interfaces

Biggs M.J., University of Edinburgh, UK

Proteins at inorganic interfaces occur across science, technology and nature – protein arrays, prostheses such as stents and artificial heart valves, biomimetic assembly of nanoparticles, and anti-freeze proteins are just a few examples from many. [...]

A Principle of Regulating the Collective Effect of Assembling Patterns in a Moderate Number of Equivalent Finite Regular Arrays of Active Nanoelements due to Local Transferring Information by Pairs Hopping under Synchronous Excitation

Kozlowski W., Inst. Biocybernetics & Biomed.Eng. PAS, PL

One reports computational study that reveals a set of general requirements fulfilling of which would afford the opportunity for using changes in ambient conditions to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome (collective effect CE) of evolution [...]

Defects and Fault Characterization in Quantum Cellular Automata

Baradaran Tahoori M., Momenzadeh M., Huang J., Lombardi F., Northeastern University, US

In this paper, a detailed simulation-based characterization of QCA defects and study of their effects at logic-level are presented. Different defect mechanisms for QCA active devices and interconnects are considered and the appropriate fault models [...]
