MacSpice 3f5 2.10.14
MacSpice 3f5... Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual
models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to
build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of
the circuit as input. This netlist is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users
may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a
third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit
and analyses this.
A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how
the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command
interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.
MacSpice has native support for both PowerPC and Intel architecture Apple Macintosh computers. It
is derived from, and compatible with, Berkeley Spice 3f5. MacSpice incorporates many improvements
to Spice 3f5 - from simple bug-fixes to entirely new commands, algorithms and solution
strategies. For example: the memory leaks that affected Spice 3f4 have been cured; new algorithms
have been developed to facilitate the simulation of large circuits, and to reduce simulation
time; MacSpice provides a robust multi-parameter optimizer and facilities for inter-process
communication with other applications.
WHAT'S NEWVersion 2.10.14:
Enhancements:
- Graph cursors behave better.
- AC Sensitivity analysis now positions grid points accurately and can resume after
interruption.
- Improved pole/zero analysis - negligible complex components are rounded to zero.
- Vectors use memory more efficiently.
- Better frontend performance when large numbers of vectors are in existence.
- The big_endian/little_endian flag is now implemented for rawfiles written in batch mode.
- Case-insensitive string comparisons are performed faster.
- A warning is now issued when breakpoints are being ignored, e.g. because pulse
rise-times are shorter than the value of MINBREAK.
- var_free() and ctl_free() procedures re-coded to avoid potential stack overflow in extreme
cases.
- Improved display of mutual inductance parameters by 'show'.
- Improved numerical stability of interpolate() frontend function.
- Improved 'rusage' statistics for interrupted transient simulations.
- Improved default behaviour of 'xd' and 'alpha' parameters for MOS3 devices.
Bugs fixed:
- 'shift' no longer causes a crash when it is given invalid arguments.
- 'goto $foo' when $foo has no value no longer crashes.
- Cured potential history list corruption when 'set history = 0' is used.
- Cured some minor memory leaks occurring during:
- conversion of circuit parameters to vectors;
- destruction of parse nodes referring to user-defined functions;
- tokenization of models with zero-length parameters.
- AC sensitivity analysis now works with non-linear devices.
- Correct evaluation of lists containing empty lists.
- Variables 'numdgt' and 'rawprec' now unset at the first attempt.

Trinick, J.br/Journal: J Mol Biolbr/br/The giant protein titin has important roles in muscle
sarcomere integrity, elasticity and contractile activity. The key role in elasticity was
highlighted in recent years by single-molecule mechanical studies, which showed a direct
relationship between the non-uniform structure of titin and the hierarchical mechanism of its
force-extension behavior. Further advances in understanding mechanisms controlling sarcomere
structure and elasticity require detailed knowledge of titin arrangement and interactions in situ.
Here we present data on the structure and self-interactive properties of an approximately 290-kDa (
approximately 100 nm long) tryptic fragment from the I-band part of titin that is extensible in
situ. The fragment includes the conserved 'distal' tandem Ig segment of the molecule and forms
side-by-side oligomers with distinctive 4-nm cross-striations. Comparisons between these oligomers
and the end filaments seen at the tips of native thick filaments indicate identical structure. This
shows that end filaments are formed by the elastic parts of six titin molecules connecting each end
of the thick filament to the Z-line. Self-association of elastic titin into stiff end filaments
adds a further hierarchical level in the mechanism of titin extensibility in muscle cells.
Self-association of this part of titin may be required to prevent interference of the individual
flexible molecules with myosin cross-bridges interacting with actin.br/br/post to: a href =

Publication Date: 2008 Sep 29 PMID: 18823532br/Authors: Pawlowski, M. - Gajda, M. J. - Matlak, R. -
Bujnicki, J. M.br/Journal: BMC Bioinformaticsbr/br/ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Computational models of
protein structure are usually inaccurate and exhibit significant deviations from the true
structure. The utility of models depends on the degree of these deviations. A number of predictive
methods have been developed to discriminate between the globally incorrect and approximately
correct models. However, only a few methods predict correctness of different parts of computational
models. Several Model Quality Assessment Programs (MQAPs) have been developed to detect local
inaccuracies in unrefined crystallographic models, but it is not known if they are useful for
computational models, which usually exhibit different and much more severe errors. RESULTS: The
ability to identify local errors in models was tested for eight MQAPs: VERIFY3D, PROSA, BALA,
ANOLEA, PROVE, TUNE, REFINER, PROQRES on 8251 models from the CASP-5 and CASP-6 experiments, by
calculating the Spearman's rank correlation coefficients between per-residue scores of these
methods and local deviations between C-alpha atoms in the models vs. experimental structures. As a
reference, we calculated the value of correlation between the local deviations and trivial features
that can be calculated for each residue directly from the models, i.e. solvent accessibility, depth
in the structure, and the number of local and non-local neighbours. We found that absolute
correlations of scores returned by the MQAPs and local deviations were poor for all method. In
addition, scores of PROQRES and several other MQAPs strongly correlate with 'trivial' features.
Therefore, we developed MetaMQAP, a meta-predictor based on a multivariate regression model, which
uses scores of the above-mentioned method, but in which trivial parameters are controlled. MetaMQAP
predicts the absolute deviation (in Angstroms) of individual C-alpha atoms between the model and
the unknown true structure as well as global deviations (expressed as root mean square deviation
and GDT_TS scores). Local model accuracy predicted by MetaMQAP shows an impressive correlation
coefficient of 0.7 with true deviations from native structures, a significant improvement over all
constituent primary MQAP scores. The global MetaMQAP score is correlated with model GDT_TS on the
level of 0.89. CONCLUSIONS: Finally, we compared our method with the MQAPs that scored best in the
7th edition of the CASP, using CASP7 server models (not included in the MetaMQAP training set) as
the test data. In our benchmark, MetaMQAP is outperformed only by PCONS6 and method QA_556 -
methods that require comparison of multiple alternative models and score each of them depending on
its similarity to other models. MetaMQAP is however the best among methods capable of evaluating
just single models. We implemented the MetaMQAP as a web server available for free use by all

Sega is working hard with ratings boards to make sure that Platinum Games' super cool looking
MadWorld has every chance of becoming a Western hit, but the game might not be released in some
violence-sensitive countries, including its native land Japan.
Sega reps told MTV Multiplayer that the company's in regular contact with the Entertainment
Software Ratings Board in the US to make sure the Wii exclusive receives only an M rating,
supplying the board with regular builds of the super violent black and white - and blood red -
title.
The publisher also said that releasing MadWorld in markets that don't usually take well to violent
games, like Japan, Australia and Germany, wasn't part of its strategy right now, but that it would
evaluate its wider release strategy if the game's a success in the US after it comes out in March
2009.
After the Daily Mail labelled MadWorld 'the most violent game ever' to appear on Nintendo's Wii,
claiming it would 'dramatically transform' the console's image as a family-friendly system, Sega UK
defended the game, telling this reporter that "MadWorld features fantasy violence in a cartoon
environment, aimed at a distinct 18+ audience."
According to the MTV report the company's sticking to its guns and there's no need to worry about
the game being toned down too much as it's still "plenty violent right now". From the sounds of it
though, there's every chance MadWorld could turn out to be the next Manhunt 2.
Check out our recent interview with MadWorld's Japanese producer, Atsushi Inaba, here.

NYT writer and Texas son John Schwartz wrote this very funny piece about the family in Texas who
bear the name being co-opted by John McCain's presidential campaign. [T]o those who know the
history of the word, applying it to Mr. McCain is a bit of a stretch — and to
one Texas family in particular it is even a bit offensive. “I’m just enraged that
McCain calls himself a maverick,” said Terrellita Maverick, 82, a San Antonio native who
proudly carries the name of a family that has been known for its progressive politics since the
1600s, when an early ancestor in Boston got into trouble with the law over his agitation for the
rights of indentured servants. In the 1800s, Samuel Augustus Maverick went to Texas and became
known for not branding his cattle. He was more interested in keeping track of the land he owned
than the livestock on it, Ms. Maverick said; unbranded cattle, then, were called
“Maverick’s.” The name came to mean anyone who didn’t bear another’s
brand. Who You Callin’ a Maverick? (NYT) Image: Mr. Samuel Augustus Maverick, of

S.br/Journal: J Mol Biolbr/br/Experiments point to appreciable variations in folding cooperativity
among natural proteins with approximately 40 residues, indicating that the behaviors of these
proteins are valuable for delineating the contributing factors to cooperative folding. To explore
the role of native topology in a protein's propensity to fold cooperatively and how native topology
might constrain the degree of cooperativity achievable by a given set of physical interactions, we
compared folding/unfolding kinetics simulated using three classes of native-centric C(alpha) chain
models with different interaction schemes. The approach was applied to two homologous 45-residue
fragments from the peripheral subunit-binding domain family and a 39-residue fragment of the
N-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L9. Free-energy profiles as functions of native contact
number were computed to assess the heights of thermodynamic barriers to folding. In addition,
chevron plots of folding/unfolding rates were constructed as functions of native stability to
facilitate comparison with available experimental data. Although common Go-like models with
pairwise Lennard-Jones-type interactions generally fold less cooperatively than real proteins, the
rank ordering of cooperativity predicted by these models is consistent with experiment for the
proteins investigated, showing increasing folding cooperativity with increasing nonlocality of a
protein's native contacts. Models that account for water-expulsion (desolvation) barriers and
models with many-body (nonadditive) interactions generally entail higher degrees of folding
cooperativity indicated by more linear model chevron plots, but the rank ordering of cooperativity
remains unchanged. A robust, experimentally valid rank ordering of model folding cooperativity
independent of the multiple native-centric interaction schemes tested here argues that native
topology places significant constraints on how cooperatively a protein can fold.br/br/post to: a

A band called Japanese
Motors couldn't be from Detroit, let alone Japan, but this Southern California
four-piece sounds more like a band from New York than from their native Orange County. "Spendin'
Days", off of Japanese Motors' forthcoming self-titled debut LP, is an upbeat garage-rocker with
brittle guitars and vocals of the Julian Casablancas school. But there's a sunniness to it, too,
in the shout-along chorus and rollicking little guitar solos. "Too hippie to be punk/ Too punk to
be a hippie," Japanese Motors declare, as if even they can't figure out what they're supposed to
be. The self-awareness and little details like the singer's quasi-ironic "dig it!" or laughter
after the word "funny" are closer to the goofiness of Brooklyn's Cheeseburger than the pranks of
Vice labelmates the Black Lips, and no, this sounds
nothing at all like Fujiya &

Adir, N.br/Journal: J Mol Biolbr/br/Allophycocyanin (APC) is the primary pigment-protein component
of the cores of the phycobilisome antenna complex. In addition to an extremely high degree of amino
acid sequence conservation, the overall structures of APC from both mesophilic and thermophilic
species are almost identical at all levels of assembly, yet APC from thermophilic organisms should
have structural attributes that prevent thermally induced denaturation. We determined the structure
of APC from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus vulcanus to 2.9 A, reaffirming the
conservation of structural similarity with APC from mesophiles. We provide spectroscopic evidence
that T. vulcanus APC is indeed more stable at elevated temperatures in vitro, when compared with
the APC from mesophilic species. APC thermal and chemical stability levels are further enhanced
when monitored in the presence of high concentrations of buffered phosphate, which increases the
strength of hydrophobic interactions, and may mimic the effect of cytosolic crowding. Absorption
spectroscopy, size-exclusion HPLC, and native gel electrophoresis also show that the thermally or
chemically induced changes in the APC absorption spectra that result in the loss of the prominent
652-nm band in trimeric APC are not a result of physical monomerization. We propose that the
bathochromic shift that occurs in APC upon trimerization is due to the coupling of the
hydrophobicity of the alpha84 phycocyanobilin cofactor environment created by a deep cleft formed
by the beta subunit with highly charged flanking regions. This arrangement also provides the
additional stability required by thermophiles at elevated temperatures. The chemical environment
that induces the bathochromic shift in APC trimers is different from the source of shifts in the
absorption of monomers of the terminal energy acceptors APC(B) and L(CM), as visualized by the
building of molecular models.br/br/post to: a href =

J'ai décidé de citer chaque billet parus sur mon nouveau blog dans Outils Froids.
Cela me permettra d'une part de le faire connaitre et d'autre part de les référencer
dans ce qui reste ma base de connaissances personnelle.
Pour que les choses soient claires au niveau de votre agrégateur j'ajouterai au début
du titre de chacun de ces billets la mention "Sur TS",TS pour Travailleur du Savoir comme vous
l'aurez deviné.
Pour aujourd'hui le nouveau billet ce trouve ici. Bonne lecture.
