Parametric structural modeling of insect wings.

30 Aug 2009 Insects produce thrust and lift forces via coupled fluid-structure interactions that bend and twist their compliant wings during flapping cycles. Insight into this fluid-structure interaction is achieved with numerical modeling techniques such as ... Read more...

Molecular structure and biochemical properties of the HCCH-Zn2+ site in HIV-1 Vif.

23 Aug 2009 Virion infectivity factor (Vif) is an HIV accessory protein that is essential for the infection of CD4(+) T cells. Vif recruits a Cullin 5 (Cul5)-based ubiquitin ligase that targets a host cytidine deaminase, apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme ... Read more...

A generic eye model by reverse building based on Chinese population.

Aug 2009 The human eye has ethnic difference, the existing typical eye models are based on western eyes. A generic eye model based on Chinese population is presented for the first time. The statistical analyzed ocular parameters based on measured data are ... Read more...
