This paper presents some acceleration techniques in each stage of the parallel-rendering- pipeline. In the stage of data management, we employ a LOD method to overcome the constraints of storage capacity and to speed up the rendering while maintaining image quality. In the stage of rendering, we use the geometric template method to reduce the huge computational cost of the CPU. Finally the binary-swap algorithm is used in the image synthesis stage. The load-balancing problem is a key issue in parallel rendering and it would become more serious especially when we zoom in or out. After the use of the LOD method, we resolve the load-balancing problem by introducing the kd-tree data structure and utilizing the dynamic rendering time of the last frame as the balancing standard. Several experiments on the Virtual Human (VH) data sets show that these techniques can effectively improve the performance of parallel volume rendering.","PeriodicalId":6396,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81579001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proper linker could make scFv have more suitable biological activity on clinical application. So it becomes a key step that how to choose and design a proper linker. In this work, the (Gly4Ser)n is used as the linker to connect VH and VL separately (n=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). and the 3D structure of corresponding scFv is reconstructed by homology modeling. The End-End distance of scFy protein with different linker (G4S)n, which 3D structure coordinate system are normalized, are compared to evaluate the effect of linker length to VH and VL. In molecular biology experiment, ND-1scFv-n are expressed and analyzed with n=1,3,5,7,9, their biologic activity active are consistent with what estimated by End-End distance. So the index to estimate biologic activity of scFv with its End-End distance is presented and could be helpful to further understand the relationship between the spatial structure of single-chain antibody and the physical and chemical properties.","PeriodicalId":6396,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84429291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
