Blind prediction of protein B-factor and flexibility.

The Journal of chemical physics
The Debye-Waller factor, a measure of X-ray attenuation, can be experimentally observed in protein X-ray crystallography. Previous theoretical models have made strong inroads in the analysis of beta (B)-factors by linearly fitting protein B-factors f...

Estimating mechanical properties of cloth from videos using dense motion trajectories: Human psychophysics and machine learning.

Journal of vision
Humans can visually estimate the mechanical properties of deformable objects (e.g., cloth stiffness). While much of the recent work on material perception has focused on static image cues (e.g., textures and shape), little is known about whether huma...

An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots.

Nature
Soft robots possess many attributes that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with conventional robots composed of rigid materials. Yet, despite recent advances, soft robots must still be tethered to hard robotic control systems and power sou...

Intraoperative Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Distensibility During Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
We sought to characterize the changes in esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility during Heller Myotomy with Dor fundoplication using the EndoFLIP device. Intraoperative distensibility measurements on 14 patients undergoing Heller myotomy with D...
