Twiston vs. random fluctuation as the source of the rapid motion of polyethylene in the inclusion complex with perhydrotriphenylene

Recently molecular dynamics simulations were performed for polyethylene in the inclusion complex with perhydrotriphenylene. The system contained ninety molecules of perhydrotriphenylene, arranged in six stacks of fifteen molecules each, and one molecule of n-tetracontane, C₄₀H₈₂. The internal CH₂-CH₂ bonds in n-tetracontane have a very strong preference for the trans state. Nevertheless, the chain exhibits a high degree of internal flexibility. This motion produces a characteristic pattern in δ|ψ N + i ψi| vs. N, where ψ_i describes the instantaneous angle of a C-H bond vector at carbon atom i about the axis defined by the channel, and δ denotes the fluctuation. The pattern expected for δ|ψ N + i ψi| vs. N is derived for the case where the rapid internal motion is produced by a twiston. It is compared with the results from the simulation and from the expectation for the case where the rapid motion arises from uncorrelated internal fluctuations within the trans state at each CH₂-CH₂ bond.     

Newly Emerging Strategies in Antiviral Drug Discovery: Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Erik De Clercq on Occasion of His 80th Anniversary

Viral infections pose a persistent threat to human health. The relentless epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health problem, with millions of infections and fatalities so far. Traditional approaches such as random screening and optimization of lead compounds by organic synthesis have become extremely resource- and time-consuming. Various modern innovative methods or integrated paradigms are now being applied to drug discovery for significant resistance in order to simplify the drug process. This review provides an overview of newly emerging antiviral strategies, including proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), ribonuclease targeting chimera (RIBOTAC), targeted covalent inhibitors, topology-matching design and antiviral drug delivery system. This article is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Erik De Clercq, an internationally renowned expert in the antiviral drug research field, on the occasion of his 80th anniversary.

Upper Bound of the Number of Zeros for Abelian Integrals in a Kind of Quadratic Reversible Centers of Genus One

By using the methods of Picard-Fuchs equation and Riccati equation, we study the upper bound of the number of zeros for Abelian integrals in a kind of quadratic reversible centers of genus one under polynomial perturbations of degree $n$. We obtain that the upper bound is $7[(n-3)/2]+5$ when $n\ge 5$, $8$ when $n=4$, $5$ when $n=3$, $4$ when $n=2$, and $0$ when $n=1$ or $n=0$, which linearly depends on $n$.     

Automatic Search Dense Connection Module for Super-Resolution

The development of display technology has continuously increased the requirements for image resolution. However, the imaging systems of many cameras are limited by their physical conditions, and the image resolution is often restrictive. Recently, several models based on deep convolutional neural network (CNN) have gained significant performance for image super-resolution (SR), while extensive memory consumption and computation overhead hinder practical applications. For this purpose, we present a lightweight network that automatically searches dense connection (ASDCN) for image super-resolution (SR), which effectively reduces redundancy in dense connection and focuses on more valuable features. We employ neural architecture search (NAS) to model the searching of dense connections. Qualitative and quantitative experiments on five public datasets show that our derived model achieves superior performance over the state-of-the-art models.
