Protein Secondary Structure Prediction with Partially Recurrent Neural Networks

Abstract

Partially recurrent neural networks with different topologies are applied for secondary structure prediction of proteins. The state of some activations in the network is available after a pattern presentation via feedback connections as additional input during the processing of the next pattern in a sequence. A reference data set containing 91 proteins in the training set and 15 non-homologous proteins in the test set is used for training and testing a network with a modified, hierarchical Elman architecture. The network predicts the secondary structures α-helix, β-sheet, and “coil” for each amino acid. The percentage of correctly classified amino acids is 67.83% on the training set and 63.98% on the test set. The best performance of a three-layer feedforward network is 62.7% on the same test set. A cascaded network, where the outputs of the recurrent network are processed by a second net with 13 × 3 inputs, four hidden and three output units has a predictive performance of 64.49%. The best corresponding feedforward net has a performance of 64.3%.     

胜利褐煤Ca~(2+)负载量对其平衡复吸水含量的影响

以胜利褐煤为研究对象,利用XRF、FT-IR等手段,采用灰分、pH值、不同相对蒸气压下的复吸水含量等参数,研究了Ca2+的离子效应对褐煤在不同相对蒸气压下复吸水含量的影响。研究结果表明,煤中Ca2+的负载量随用于交换的钙离子溶液浓度的增大而增加。煤中Ca2+的负载量对煤样的平衡复吸水含量影响较大,Ca2+负载量越大,煤样的平衡复吸水含量越大。相对蒸气压高于92%平衡复吸水含量的主要控制因素为游离水分子与游离水分子之间的相互作用力。相对蒸气压在11%~92%平衡复吸水含量的主要控制因素为金属水簇Ca+(H2O)n与毛细管之间的毛细管作用力。     

Singular hyperbolicity of star flows on surfaces

In this paper, we prove that every star flow on the closed surface has finitely many chain recurrent classes. Furthermore, it is singular hyperbolic if every non-trivial singular chain component is a graph. As a consequence, every star flow on the 2-sphere or the projective plane is singular hyperbolic.     

Parametric inference for multiple repairable systems under dependent competing risks

The focus of this article is on the analysis of repairable systems that are subject to multiple sources of recurrence. The event of interest at the system level is assumed to be caused by the earliest occurrence of a source, thereby conforming to a series system competing risks framework. Parametric inference is carried out under the power law process model that has found significant attention in industrial applications. Dependence among the cause‐specific recurrent processes is induced via a shared frailty structure. The theoretical inference results are implemented to a warranty database for a fleet of automobiles, for which the warranty repair is triggered by the failure of one of many components. Extensive finite‐sample simulation is carried out to supplement the asymptotic findings. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Electronic structures of NbGen−/0/+ (n = 1–3) clusters from multiconfigurational CASPT2 and density matrix renormalization group-CASPT2 calculations

Density functional theory and multiconfigurational CASPT2 and density matrix renormalization group DMRG-CASPT2 have been employed to study the low-lying states of NbGe_n^−/0/+ (n = 1–3) clusters. With the DMRG-CASPT2 method, the active spaces are extended to a size of 20 orbitals. For most of the states, the CASPT2 relative energies are comparable with the DMRG-CASPT2 results. The leading configuration, bond distances, vibrational frequencies, and relative energies of the low-lying states of these clusters were calculated. The ground states of these clusters were computed to be ³Δ, ⁴Φ, and ⁵Φ of NbGe^−/0/+; ³A₂, ⁴B₁, and ³B₁ of cyclic-NbGe₂^−/0/+; and ¹A′, 1²A″ and 1²A′′ (²E), and ³A″ of tetrahedral-NbGe₃^−/0/+ isomers. For NbGe cluster, our calculations proposed that the ⁶∑ is almost degenerate with the ⁴Φ with the CASPT2 and DMRG-CASPT2 relative energies of 0.05 and 0.06 eV. The adiabatic detachment energies of NbGe_n⁻ (n = 1–3) clusters were estimated to be 1.46, 1.55, and 2.18 eV by the CASPT2 method. The relevant detachment energies of the anionic ground state and the ionization energies of the neutral ground states are evaluated at the CASPT2 level.

Dislocation Analysis for Large-sized Sapphire Single Crystal Grown by SAPMAC Method

In this paper,large-sized sapphire (230×210 mm,27.5 kg) was grown by SAPMAC method (sapphire growth technique with micro-pulling and shoulder-expanding at the cooled center). Dislocation peculiarity in large sapphire boule (0001) basal plane was investigated by chemical etching,scanning electron microscopy and X-ray topography method. The triangular dislocation etch pit measured is 7.6×101～8.0×102 cm-2,in which relative high-density dislocations were generated at both initial and final stages of crystal growth. The analysis of single-crystal X-ray topography shows that there are no apparent sub-grain boundaries; the dislocation lines are isolated and straight. Finally,the origins of low-density dislocation in sapphire crystal are discussed by numerical analysis method.
