Molecular dynamics simulation: effect of sulfation on the structure of curdlan triple helix in aqueous solution by Gao, Yufu, Feng, Xuan, Zhang, Ran, Xiao, Jie, Huang, Qingrong, Li, Jiawei, Shi, Tongfei

“…When substitutions occur at both the O4 and O6 sites simultaneously (O4,6), the electrostatic repulsion between numerous sulfate groups introduces considerable energy perturbation to the triple helix, leading to alterations in the glucan chain conformation and consequent destabilization of the triple helix structure. Meanwhile, we find that even if the sulfation substitution is performed at the same substitution sites, the difference in the degree of substitution also has an impact on the triple helix stability. …”

Effects of automation transparency on trust and diagnostic decision making with an automated decision aid during medical emergencies by Mohamed Syahid Hassan

“…Novice doctors in a simulated emergency diagnosis task used automated decision aids with different transparency configurations, manipulated by the presence of two transparency features, a list of Key Diagnostic Cues that explain its recommendation and a Likelihood Rating that displays how likely the aid thinks its recommendation is correct. The study did not find any significant evidence that the different transparency configurations improved appropriate trust in the aid’s recommendations. …”
