FDserver: A web service for protein folding research

*Summary:* To facilitate the study of protein folding, we have developed a web service for protein folding rate and folding type prediction as well as for the calculation of a variety of topological parameters of protein structure, which is freely available to the community.

Neighborhood Overlapped Propagation Algorithm For Community Detection Based On Label Time-Sequence

The community detection algorithms based on label propagation (LPA) receive broad attention for the advantages of near-linear complexity and no prerequisite for any object function or cluster number. However, the propagation of labels contains uncertainty and randomness, which affects the accuracy and stability of the LPA algorithm. In this study, we propose an efficient detection method based on COPRA with Time-sequence (COPRA_TS). Firstly, the labels are sorted according to a new label importance measure. Then, the label of each vertex is updated according to time-sequence topology measure. The experiments on both the artificial datasets and the real-world datasets demonstrate that the quality of communities discovered by COPRA_TS algorithm is improved with a better stability. At last some future research topics are given

Goos-H\"{a}nchen-Like Shifts in Atom Optics

We consider the propagation of a matter wavepacket of two-level atoms through a square potential created by a super-Gaussian laser beam. We explore the matter wave analog of Goos-H\"{a}nchen shift within the framework of atom optics where the roles of atom and light is exchanged with respect to conventional optics. Using a vector theory, where atoms are treated as particles possessing two internal spin components, we show that not only large negative but also large positive Goos-H\"{a}nchen shifts can occur in the reflected atomic beam.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
