Realising the importance of assessing the quality of the biomolecular structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partners established Validation Task Forces to obtain advice on the methods and standards to be used to validate structures determined by X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and three-dimensional electron cryo-microscopy. The resulting wwPDB validation pipeline is an integral part of the wwPDB OneDep deposition, biocuration and validation system. The wwPDB Validation Service webserver (https://validate.wwpdb.org) can be used to perform checks prior to deposition. Here, it is shown how validation metrics can be combined to produce an overall score that allows the ranking of macromolecular structures and domains in search results. The ValTrendsDBdatabase provides users with a convenient way to access and analyse validation information and other properties of X-ray crystal structures in the PDB, including investigating trends in and correlations between different structure properties and validation metrics.

In this paper, a microwave cavity resonator is presented for chemical sensing applications. The proposed resonator is comprised of a three dimensional (3D) split-ring resonator (SRR) residing in an external cavity and capacitively coupled by a pair of coaxial probes. 3D-printing technology with polylactic acid (PLA) filament is used to build the 3D SRR and cavity. Then, the surfaces of the SRR and the inside walls of cavity are silver-coated. The novelty of our proposed structure is its light weight and inexpensive design, owing to the utilization of low density and low-cost PLA. A Teflon tube is passed through the split-gap of the SRR so that it is parallel to the applied electric field. With an empty tube, the resonance frequency of the structure is measured at 2.56 GHz with an insertion loss of 13.6 dB and quality factor (Q) of 75. A frequency shift of 205 MHz with respect to the empty channel was measured when deionized water (DIW) was injected into the tube. Using volume occupied by the structure, the weight of the proposed microwave resonator is estimated as 22.8 g which is significantly lighter than any metallic structure of comparable size.

The Monte Carlo simulation toolkitZMCprovides a general method for Monte Carlo simulation of disordered molecular displacements, orientations and site occupations. It is part of a suite of programs that allows convenient calculation of three-dimensional reciprocal space diffraction intensities. Such intensities are useful for extensive structure interpretations from diffraction experiments. Some physical properties can also be calculated from the simulation. This article reports the implementation of an integratedZMCmodule that facilitates the construction of modulated molecular crystals and allows the corresponding calculation of modulation satellites. Use of the module is explained and examples illustrated. The method is ideally suited for novice treatment of modulated structure features and also as a basic platform to explore complex structure/properties relationships using atomistic simulation techniques.

Structure Properties

Analysis of the soil pore system represents an important way of characterizing soil structure. Properties such as the shape and number of pores can be determined through soil pore evaluations. This study presents a three-dimensional (3D) characterization of the shape and number of pores of a sub-tropical soil. To do so, a second generation X-ray microtomograph equipped with a plain type detector was employed. A voltage of 120 kV and current of 80 mA was applied to the X-ray tube. The soil samples analyzed were collected at three different depths (0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm). The results obtained allowed qualitative (images) and quantitative (3D) analyses of the soil structure, revealing the potential of the microtomographic technique, as well as the study of differences in soil macroporosity at different depths. Macroporosity was 5.14 % in the 0-10 cm layer, 5.10 % in the 10-20 cm layer, and 6.64 % in the 20-30 cm layer. The macroporosity of unclassified pores (UN) was 0.30 % (0-10 and 10-20 cm) and 0.40 % (20-30 cm), while equant pores (EQ) had values of 0.01 % at the three depths under analysis.

Resonance Relation

The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.
