In computational physics, chemistry, and biology, the implementation of new techniques in shared and open-source software lowers barriers to entry and promotes rapid scientific progress. However, effectively training new software users presents several cha ...
Fuzz testing a software library requires developers to write fuzz drivers, specialized programs exercising the library. Given a driver, fuzzers generate interesting inputs that trigger the library’s bugs. Writing fuzz drivers manually is a cumbersome proce ...
Vision is initiated by the rhodopsin family of light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)(1). A photon is absorbed by the 11-cis retinal chromophore of rhodopsin, which isomerizes within 200 femtoseconds to the all-trans conformation(2), thereby i ...
The geometries of axons, dendrites and their synaptic connections provide important information about their functional properties. These can be collected directly from measurements made on serial electron microscopy images. However, manual and automated se ...
