  2. Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

    For example, the Miura map fold is a rigid fold that has been used to deploy large solar panel arrays for space satellites. The napkin folding problem is the problem of whether a square or rectangle of paper can be folded so the perimeter of the flat figure is greater than that of the original square.

  3. Folding endurance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_endurance

    Folding endurance is especially applicable for papers used for maps, bank notes, archival documents, etc. The direction of the grain in relation to the folding line, the type of fibres used, the fibre contents, the calliper of the test piece, etc., as well as which type of folding tester that is used affect how many double folds a test piece ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki's_theorem

    For rigid origami (a type of folding that keeps the surface flat except at its folds, suitable for hinged panels of rigid material rather than flexible paper), the condition of Kawasaki's theorem turns out to be sufficient for a single-vertex crease pattern to move from an unfolded state to a flat-folded state.

    MD was originally developed in the early 1950s, following earlier successes with Monte Carlo simulations—which themselves date back to the eighteenth century, in the Buffon's needle problem for example—but was popularized for statistical mechanics at Los Alamos National Laboratory by Marshall Rosenbluth and Nicholas Metropolis in what is known today as the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm.

    which can be further processed to calculate the enthalpy of metal-ligand interaction. [20] [21] Although this example is between a metal and a ligand, it is applicable to any ITC experiment, regarding binding interactions. As a part of the analysis, a number of protons are required to calculate the solvent-independent thermodynamics. [15]

    They proved that the quaternion method is equivalent to the well-known Kabsch algorithm. [3] The solution given by Kabsch is an instance of the solution of the d-dimensional problem, introduced by Hurley and Cattell. [4] The quaternion solution to compute the optimal rotation was published in the appendix of a paper of Petitjean. [5]

  9. Protein structure prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure_prediction

    This type of method is also known as 3D-1D fold recognition due to its compatibility analysis between three-dimensional structures and linear protein sequences. This method has also given rise to methods performing an inverse folding search by evaluating the compatibility of a given structure with a large database of sequences, thus predicting ...
