Direct Motor Pathways01:11

Direct Motor Pathways

1.9K
The direct motor pathways, also known as the pyramidal tracts, are a group of neural pathways that originate in the brain and descend through the spinal cord. They control the voluntary movement of the body. There are two major direct motor pathways: the corticospinal and the corticobulbar tracts.
The corticospinal tract is responsible for the voluntary movement of the limbs and trunk. It originates in the cerebral cortex of the brain and descends through the cerebrum's internal capsule and...

Indirect Motor Pathways01:22

Indirect Motor Pathways

1.5K
The indirect motor or extrapyramidal pathways originate in the brainstem, the lower portion of the brain that connects it to the spinal cord. They consist of several distinct tracts, each with specialized functions. The four main tracts of the indirect motor pathways are the vestibulospinal tract, the reticulospinal tract, the tectospinal tract, and the rubrospinal tract.
The vestibulospinal tract originates in the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem. The vestibular system detects changes in...

Distributed Loads: Problem Solving01:21

Distributed Loads: Problem Solving

645
Beams are structural elements commonly employed in engineering applications requiring different load-carrying capacities. The first step in analyzing a beam under a distributed load is to simplify the problem by dividing the load into smaller regions, which allows one to consider each region separately and calculate the magnitude of the equivalent resultant load acting on each portion of the beam. The magnitude of the equivalent resultant load for each region can be determined by calculating...

Data Collection by Observations01:08

Data Collection by Observations

12.0K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Multicompartment Models: Overview01:14

Multicompartment Models: Overview

139
Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

16.0K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Statistical Mechanics

Background:

  • Modeling molecular transformations using atomic-scale simulations requires effective collective variables.
  • Current methods for generating collective variables are often limited or lack generalizability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, data-driven method for generating, optimizing, and comparing collective variables.
  • To provide a one-dimensional, interpretable, and differentiable collective variable suitable for enhanced sampling simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Kernel ridge regression of the committor probability to define transformation progress.
  • Application of the method to a precipitation model and Li+/F- association in water.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method successfully generates optimal collective variables for complex molecular transformations.
  • Global descriptors outperformed simpler variables in modeling precipitation.
  • Transformation mechanisms in Li+/F- association are localized to the first solvation shell, and atomic positions alone are insufficient due to inertial effects.

Conclusions:

  • The data-driven approach offers a powerful generalization of existing path collective variable concepts.
  • The method yields interpretable and differentiable collective variables crucial for enhanced sampling techniques.
  • Understanding the influence of solvation shells and inertial effects is key to accurate molecular modeling.
