I-TASSER server for protein 3D structure prediction.

TL;DR: The I-TASSER server has been developed to generate automated full-length 3D protein structural predictions where the benchmarked scoring system helps users to obtain quantitative assessments of the I- TASSER models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaos and quantum thermalization

TL;DR: It is shown that a bounded, isolated quantum system of many particles in a specific initial state will approach thermal equilibrium if the energy eigenfunctions which are superposed to form that state obey Berry's conjecture, and argued that these results constitute a sound foundation for quantum statistical mechanics.

Characterization of complex networks: A survey of measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of topological features of complex networks, including trajectories in several measurement spaces, correlations between some of the most traditional measurements, perturbation analysis, as well as the use of multivariate statistics for feature selection and network classification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorbate-substrate and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions of Na and K adlayers on Al(111)

TL;DR: The interesting result of the studied systems is that the difference in bond strengths between the ``normal'' and substitutional geometries is sufficiently large to kick out a surface Al atom.

Characterization of complex networks: A survey of measurements

TL;DR: This article presents a survey of measurements capable of expressing the most relevant topological features of complex networks and includes general considerations about complex network characterization, a brief review of the principal models, and the presentation of the main existing measurements.
