Water structure has an essential role in biological assembly. Hydrophobic dewetting has been documented as a general mechanism for the assembly of hydrophobic surfaces; however, the association mechanism of hydrophilic interfaces remains mysterious and cannot be explained by simple continuum water models that ignore the solvent structure. Here we study the association of two hydrophilic proteins using unbiased extensive molecular dynamics simulations that reproducibly recovered the native bound complex. The water in the interfacial gap forms an adhesive hydrogen-bond network between the interfaces stabilizing early intermediates before native contacts are formed. Furthermore, the interfacial gap solvent showed a reduced dielectric shielding up to distances of few nanometres during the diffusive phase. The interfacial gap solvent generates an anisotropic dielectric shielding with a strongly preferred directionality for the electrostatic interactions along the association direction. [less ▲]

In this paper we present a novel evaluation methodology for the comparison of ad hoc routing protocols in urban scenarios applied to inter-vehicular communications. We introduce a new route evaluation metric that identifies the goodness of a given route. Through analysis of subsequent mobility snapshots of the network topology, we compute an optimal route between two communicating vehicles. We compare the properties of the obtained route to the most representative routing approaches namely reactive and proactive routing. Based on this evaluation we provide a detailed discussion on the pros and cons of the different schemes when applied to urban scenarios. [less ▲]

A Metamodel-based Classification of Variability Modeling Approaches

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is an emerging paradigm taking momentum that proposes to address flexibility and shorter time-to-market by maximizing software reuse. The key characteristic of SPLE is the effective modelling and management of variability, for which a number of Variability Modeling (VM) techniques have been developed during the last two decades. Therefore, understanding their commonalities and differences is important for selecting the most suitable technique. In this paper, we propose a metamodel-based classification of VM techniques gathered through a survey of relevant literature. [less ▲]

Many authors have emphasized the situated and distinctive character of action. The work context is often described as a resource or a constraint for action. However, few studies have examined the contextual elements that serve as a resource or a constraint in any given group. We believe that the individual’s perception of the context needs to be taken into consideration when examining experience and work integration. In order to identify these contextual elements, we conducted semi-directive interviews with 69 workers. Content analysis revealed that when most participants were asked about their job, they answered in terms of the context and used contextual elements to describe it. [less ▲]
