Efficient Computation of K-Nearest Neighbor Graphs for Large High-Dimensional Data Sets on GPU Clusters
Dashti, Ali (2013-08-01)The k-Nearest Neighbor Graph (k-NNG) and the related k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) methods have a wide variety of applications in areas such as bioinformatics, machine learning, data mining, clustering analysis, and pattern ... -
Extracting the Structure and Conformations of Biological Entities from Large Datasets
Dashti, Ali (2013-12-01)In biology, structure determines function, which often proceeds via changes in conformation. Efficient means for determining structure exist, but mapping conformations continue to present a serious challenge. Single-particles ... -
Solving Virus Structures from XFEL Diffraction Patterns of Random Particle Orientations Using Angular Correlations of Intensities
Uddin, Miraj (2013-08-01)The world's first x-ray free electron laser (XFEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is now creating X-ray pulses not only of unprecendented brilliance; (a billion ... -
Structure and Function of Proteins Investigated By Crystallographic and Spectroscopic Time-Resolved Methods
Purwar, Namrta (2013-12-01)Biomolecules play an essential role in performing the necessary functions for life. The goal of this thesis is to contribute to an understanding of how biological systems work on the molecular level. We used two biological ... -
Theoretical Investigation of Interactions and Relaxation in Biological Macromolecules
Yokoi, Koki (2015-12-01)One of the major challenges posed to our quantitative understanding of structure, dynamics, and function of biological macromolecules has been the high level of complexity of biological structures. In the present work, we ...
