We present a highly parallel algorithm to convert internal coordinates of a polymeric molecule into Cartesian coordinates. Traditionally, converting the structures of polymers (e.g., proteins) from internal to Cartesian coordinates has been performed serially, due to an inherent linear dependency along the polymer chain. We show this dependency can be removed using a tree-based concatenation of coordinate transforms between segments, and then parallelized efficiently on graphics processing units (GPUs). The conversion algorithm is applicable to protein engineering and fitting protein structures to experimental data, and we observe an order of magnitude speedup using parallel processing on a GPU compared to serial execution on a CPU.

Based on experimental observations, we propose what we believe to be a novel hypothesis that a Bessel beam propagating through an optical system behaves identically to a paraxial ray under certain conditions. We then derive analytical formulas for the propagation of Bessel beams in Cartesian coordinates and the Huygens-Fresnel principle.

Stereotactic systems have traditionally used Cartesian coordinate combined with linear algebraic mathematical models to navigate the brain. Previously, the development of a novel stereotactic system allowed for improved patient comfort, reduced size, and carried through a simplified interface for surgeons. The system was designed with a work envelope and trajectory range optimized for deep brain stimulation applications only.

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used to learn and predict the maxillomandibular relationship, particularly when the number of occluding teeth pairs is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of training a new two-stage coarse-to-fine teeth alignment pipeline AI system in predicting maxillomandibular relationships based on the occlusal morphology of antagonistic teeth.
Methods: Maxillary and mandibular stone casts were collected and scanned at the maximal intercuspal position (MIP).

The origin of life on Earth remains one of the most perplexing challenges in biochemistry. While numerous bottom-up experiments under prebiotic conditions have provided valuable insights into the spontaneous chemical genesis of life, there remains a significant gap in the theoretical understanding of the complex reaction processes involved. In this study, we propose a novel approach using a roto-translationally invariant potential (RTIP) formulated with pristine Cartesian coordinates to facilitate the simulation of chemical reactions.
