  Atomistic or ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are widely used to predict thermodynamics and kinetics and relate them to molecular structure. A common approach to go beyond the time- and length-scales accessible ...
• An experimental assay of the interactions of amino acids from orthologous sequences shaping a complex fitness landscape

  Pokusaeva, Victoria O.; Usmanova, Dinara R.; Putintseva, Ekaterina V.; Espinar, Lorena; Sarkisyan, Karen S.; Mishin, Alexander S.; Bogatyreva, Natalya S.; Ivankov, Dmitry N.; Akopyan, Arseniy V.; Avvakumov, Sergey Ya; Povolotskaya, Inna, 1986-; Filion, Guillaume; Carey, Lucas; Kondrashov, Fyodor A., 1979- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019)

  Characterizing the fitness landscape, a representation of fitness for a large set of genotypes, is key to understanding how genetic information is interpreted to create functional organisms. Here we determined the ...
• NACTA: construyendo el futuro de la tradición del jingju

  Caro Repetto, Rafael; Serra, Xavier (2016)

  En sus poco más de doscientos años de historia, el jingju, u ópera de Pekín, ha conseguido el título de tesoro nacional (guocui) y como tal ha asumido la turbulenta historia reciente del país. En la puja por situarse como ...
• Melodic transformation processes in the arrangements of Jingju Banshi

  Caro Repetto, Rafael; Serra, Xavier (2016)

• Automatic chord-scale recognition using harmonic pitch class profiles

  Demirel, Emir; Bozkurt, Baris; Serra, Xavier (Sound & Music Computing Conference, 2019)

  This study focuses on the application of different computational methods to carry out a ”modal harmonic analysis” for Jazz improvisation performances by modeling the concept of chord-scales. The Chord-Scale Theory is a ...
• Breaking the state of the heart: meshless model for cardiac mechanics
