[Simbiosnews] CORRECTED: Duke's Choice Award, Webinar: Simulations for Designing Tendon-Transfer Surgery, and More

[Joy P. Ku]

Apologies for the typos:  The OpenSim team received the Duke's Choice
Award and released 3.1 this summer, not the OpenMM team.

The Response of Bacterial Cell Growth to Osmotic Shock

 

Bacterial cell walls determine their susceptibility to antibiotics, their
effect on the human immune system, and their shape.  In a recent webinar

QZBCvJOqxTbr_oqct-g> , Simbios postdoctoral fellow Enrique Rojas describes
his experimental studies and computational models of the effects of
osmotic pressure on the cell wall and growth of Escherichia coli and
Bacillus subtilis.

ice2013#pg1> OpenSim Team Receives the Duke's Choice Award   

The Duke's Choice Awards from Oracle and the Java community honor
organizations and developers for their creative and innovative uses of
Java technology. Ayman Habib accepted the award on behalf of OpenSim team
at the recent JavaOne conference, attended by 60,000 people in San
Francisco.

 

 <http://simtk.org/home/openmm> OpenMM 5.2 Released  

This latest version of our accelerated molecular dynamics code for GPUs
includes new simulation features, such as Drude oscillators and
anisotropic Monte Carlo barostats, and also adds support for Intel's
integrated GPU core.

 

 <http://simtk.org/home/opensim> OpenSim 3.1 Released  

OpenSim 3.1 was released this summer and includes expanded scripting
capabilities, enhancements to the graphical user interface, many new
modeling components, new examples, and important bug fixes.
