This paper analyzes the interactions between typhoons (TYs) Parma and Melor (2009) in the North West Pacific (NWP) Ocean.The TY Parma (2009) is chosen for investigation because it has a unique track with multiple U-turns and 3 landfalls over the Luzan Island of Philippines that are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to forecast by numerical we

Transporters are dynamic membrane proteins that are essential to the physiology of cells.To function, transporters must cycle between various conformational states, so to understand their mechanistic details, it is critical to characterize how their structure changes during the transport cycle.One approach to studying the dynamics of transporters t
