Ribozyme catalysis with a twist: active state of the twister ribozyme in solution predicted from molecular simulation

description: We present results from molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations of the twister ribozyme at different stages along the reaction path to gain insight into its mechanism. The results, together with recent biochemical experiments, provide support for a mechanism involving general-acid catalysis by a conserved adenine residue in the active site. Although adenine has been previously implicated as a general acid acting through the N1 position in other ribozymes such as the hairpin and VS ribozymes, in the twister ribozyme there may be a twist. Biochemical experiments suggest that general acid catalysis may occur through the N3 position, which has never before been implicated in this role; however, currently, there is a lack of a detailed structural model for the active state of the twister ribozyme in solution that is consistent with these and other experiments. Simulations in a crystalline environment reported here are consistent with X-ray crystallographic data, and suggest that crystal packing contacts trap the RNA in an inactive conformation with U-1 in an extruded state that is incompatible with an in-line attack to the scissile phosphate. Simulations in solution, on the other hand, reveal this region to be dynamic and able to adopt a conformation where U-1 is stacked with G33. In this state, the nucleophile is in line with the scissile phosphate, and the N1 position of G33 and N3 position of A1 are poised to act as a general base and acid, respectively, as supported by mutational experiments. Free energy calculations further predict the electrostatic environment causes a shift of the microscopic pKa at the N3 position of A1 toward neutrality by approximately 5 pKa units. These results offer a unified interpretation of a broad range of currently available experimental data that points to a novel mode of general acid catalysis through the N3 position of an adenine nucleobase, thus expanding the repertoire of known mechanistic strategies employed by small nucleolytic ribozymes.

Bregman Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers

description: Bayesian models provide a framework for probabilistic modelling of complex datasets. Many such models are computationally demanding, especially in the presence of large datasets. In sensor network applications, statistical (Bayesian) parameter estimation usually relies on decentralized algorithms, in which both data and computation are distributed across the nodes of the network. In this paper we propose a framework for decentralized Bayesian learning using Bregman Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (B-ADMM).We demonstrate the utility of our framework, with Mean Field Variational Bayes (MFVB) as the primitive for distributed affine structure from motion (SfM).

description: We present PlanetP, a peer-to-peer (P2P) content search and retrieval infrastructure targeting communities wishing to share large sets of text documents. P2P computing is an attractive model for information sharing between ad hoc groups of users because of its low cost of entry and explicit model for resource scaling. As communities grow, however, a key challenge becomes finding relevant information. To address this challenge, our design centers around indexing, content search, and retrieval rather than scalable name-based object location, which has been the focus of recent P2P systems. PlanetP takes the novel approach of replicating the global directory and a compact summary index at every peer using gossiping. PlanetP then leverages this information to approximate a state-of-the-art document ranking algorithm to help users locate relevant information within the large communal data set. Using a prototype implementation together with simulation, we show: (i) it is possible to design a gossiping algorithm that reliably maintains a copy of communal state at each peer yet requires only a modest amount of bandwidth, (ii) our content search and retrieval algorithm tracks the performance of the original ranking algorithm very closely, giving P2P communities a search and retrieval algorithm as good as that possible assuming a centralized server, and (iii) PlanetP's gossiping and search and retrieval algorithms both scale well to communities of at least several thousand peers

Environmental Sustainability

description: The topic of environmental sustainability is attracting increased attention among management scholars. Despite its importance to managers, employees, customers and other stakeholders, however, there is very little scholarship that considers the role of human resource management systems in organizations striving to achieve environmental sustainability. In this article, we propose several specific questions that such scholarship could address. By seeking answers to these questions, HRM scholars could contribute to improved organizational effectiveness and at the same time develop new theoretical models that more adequately reflect the complexity of organizational phenomena.

description: Hydrodynamics of laminar, steady converging and diverging flow between parallel disks and cones has been studied. A novel method that takes into account convective acceleration averaged over the gap and resulting in analytical solution of equations of motion has been developed. Biconical coordinate system is used for analysis of flow between cones. The velocity profiles and pressure distribution for both converging and diverging flow have been studied. Using the velocity profiles obtained, the motion of a particle in radial flow between disks have been studied. The research provides a tool to improve the performance of separators for wastewater treatment.

description: Appositive constructions (My friend Sophie, (who is) a classical violinist, performed a piece by Mozart) have stood at the center of debates concerning the range of possible meanings,and more specifically the status of not-at-issue entailments. However, it remains an open question what precisely their semantic and pragmatic contribution is to the sentence in which they appear. Here, we address this question head on experimentally. We first investigate the information status of appositives and find that while nominal appositives (e.g. a classical violinist) and sentence-medial appositive relative clauses (e.g. who is a classical violinist) are largely not at issue, sentence-final appositive relative clauses can become at issue, as witnessed in their becoming the target of a direct rejection and being associated with subsequent questions. We then investigate the truth conditional contribution of appositives to sentences in which they appear, and find that whenever an appositive is false, participants judge the entire sentence False. Reaction times complement truth value ratings to demonstrate that this decision is largely automatic. We discuss possible reasons for the difference among appositive types and sentential positions, and propose that the pattern of results we observe and the strong similarity with conjunction can best be accounted for in a unidimensional semantics which treats appositives as dynamic conjuncts but which also relates linguistic form to the timing of making assertions in discourse.
Privately Querying Location-based Services with SybilQuery

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2009

description: To usefully query a location-based service, a mobile device must typically present its own location in its query to the server. This may not be acceptable to clients that wish to protect the privacy of their location. Much prior work has addressed the problem of protecting client privacy in such location-based queries using k-anonymity. In such schemes, the location-based server is unable to distinguish a querying client from a group of k clients. However, prior work on k-anonymity-based schemes has typically required the use of an anonymizer— a proxy that intercepts and modifies client queries so as to achieve k-anonymity. The centralized nature of anonymizers makes them a single point of failure. Moreover, in the presence of mobile clients, anonymizers must be implemented so as to avoid correlation attacks, where an adversary compromises client location using that client’s queries from multiple locations. Alternatives that eliminate the anonymizer either rely on the participation of k other peers, thus making the system reliant on these peers, or are based upon computationally-expensive cryptographic protocols that present scalability problems. This paper presents the design and implementation of SybilQuery, a fully decentralized and autonomous k-anonymity-based scheme to privately query location-based services. SybilQuery is a clientside tool that generates k − 1 Sybil queries for each query by the client. The location-based server is presented with a set of k queries and is unable to distinguish between the client’s query and the Sybil queries, thereby achieving k-anonymity. We tested our implementation of SybilQuery on real mobility traces of approximately 500 cabs in the San Francisco Bay area. Our experiments show that SybilQuery can efficiently generate Sybil queries and that these queries are indistinguishable from real queries.

description: Preserving and regulating cellular homeostasis in the light of changing environmental conditions or developmental processes is of pivotal importance for single cellular and multicellular organisms alike. To counteract an imbalance in cellular homeostasis transcriptional programs evolved, called the heat shock response, unfolded protein response, and integrated stress response, that act cell-autonomously in most cells but in multicellular organisms are subjected to cell-nonautonomous regulation. These transcriptional programs downregulate the expression of most genes but increase the expression of heat shock genes, including genes encoding molecular chaperones and proteases, proteins involved in the repair of stress-induced damage to macromolecules and cellular structures. Sixty-one years after the discovery of the heat shock response by Ferruccio Ritossa, many aspects of stress biology are still enigmatic. Recent progress in the understanding of stress responses and molecular chaperones was reported at the 12th International Symposium on Heat Shock Proteins in Biology, Medicine and the Environment in the Old Town Alexandria, VA, USA from 28th to 31st of October 2023.

description: Appreciation is keenly connected to spirituality through a process of reciprocal causality, and both appear to be key factors in psychological and physical well-being and successful performance in the workplace, with each making a distinct contribution. Appreciation fosters well-being and success directly, as well as indirectly, through forging and maintaining social bonds, promoting better sleep, encouraging helping and building trust. Appreciation is viewed as having eight aspects: a focus on what one has ("Have" focus), awe, ritual, present moment, self/social comparison, gratitude, loss/adversity and interpersonal appreciation. Although interventions to increase several aspects of appreciation have been successful, they have not been intended for, or implemented formally in the workplace. This paper briefly reviews research on appreciation, suggests
description: possible applications to the workplace, argues that appreciation is an important factor in workplace well-being and success, and urges researchers to pursue this line of investigation. We also argue that although spirituality and appreciation have many points of commonality and are likely involved in a process of reciprocal causality, it is most productive for research endeavors at this point to view them as distinct constructs. Research is needed to determine the most effective ways to express appreciation in the workplace and the most effective organizational and individual workplace interventions to foster appreciation and manifest spirituality. Appreciation may help employees feel valued, unleashing their intrinsic motivation and desire to excel and to help others, including customers, supervisors or peers. This would be good for them and for their employer. At the systems level, what organizational structures, procedures and practices promote spirituality and appreciation, which then foster important organizational outcomes? And finally, research is needed to assess the joint and unique effects of appreciation and spirituality on business outcomes, at the individual employee level and at the levels of the work team, unit and overall company.

Understanding the Lives of Mothers after Incarceration: Moving Beyond Socially Constructed Definitions of Motherhood

Custody of children

description: In the wake of mass incarceration, an increasing number of women are going through the penal system. A fair number of these women are mothers, yet the intersection of motherhood and prison may contradict conceptions of femininity and challenge traditional views of appropriate mothering. The contradiction between notions of criminality and femininity contributes to stigmatized perceptions of formerly incarcerated mothers, which drastically shapes their ability to reintegrate into society post-incarceration. While reentry efforts tackle gender differences through the implementation of gender-responsive programs that cater to women’s needs, failure to adequately account for unique maternal experiences may hinder attempts to address obstacles faced by mothers in particular, such as regaining child custody and paying for day care. This article argues for special attention to the post-incarceration experiences of mothers without imposing socially constructed definitions of motherhood like having custody and living with children, which may not coincide with the realities mothers face after imprisonment. Ideas are also discussed for the inclusive consideration of formerly incarcerated mothers and their post-incarceration experiences.

description: One major disease of the pupae and the adult bees is the so-called Varroosis that is due to the bee parasite Varroa destructor. It is an ectoparasite of bees, causing significant losses in bee population needed for honey production as well as for pollination in agriculture. Costic acid is a sesquiterpene-carboxylic acid present in the plant Dittrichia viscosa. Recent studies by our group have shown that costic acid acts as acaricide against V. destructor. Oxalic acid is also an acaricide commonly used against varroa mites. In spite of its structural simplicity—it is the simplest bicarboxlic acid—it is equipotent to costic acid which consists of a trans-decalin system with three chiral centres. The basic goal of this project was to design and synthesize a hybrid entity, incorporating aspects of both oxalic acid and costic acid that would be more active than the parent compounds. This approach introduces a useful strategy for the preparation of congeners of bioactive compounds and proposes a structural framework for a new series of acaricidal agents.
On Homogeneous Linear Recurrence Relations and Approximation of Zeros of Complex Polynomials
Creators: name: Kalantari, Bahman
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2000

description: Abstract. Let p(z) be a complex polynomial of degree n. To each complex number a we associate a sequence called the Basic Sequence {Bm(a) = a − p(a)Dm−2(a)/Dm−1(a)}, where Dm(a) is defined via a homogeneous linear recurrence relation and depends only on the normalized derivatives p (i) (a)/i!. Each Dm(a) is also representable as a Toeplitz determinant. Except possibly for the locus of points equidistant to two distinct roots, given any input a, the Basic Sequence converges to a root of p. The roots of p partition the Euclidean plane into Voronoi regions. Under some regularity assumption (e.g. simplicity of the roots), for almost all inputs within the Voronoi polygon of a root, the corresponding Basic Sequence converges to that root. The discovery of the Basic Sequence, its error estimates, and several of its properties are consequences of our previous analysis of a fundamental family of iteration functions {Bm(z)}, called the Basic Family. Given any fixed m ≥ 2 and an appropriate input a0, the fixed-point iterates ak+1 = Bm(ak) converge to a simple root having order m. The Basic Sequence corresponds to the pointwise evaluation of the Basic Family. We present several fractal images that confirm the theoretical convergence results: as m increases, the basins of attractions to the roots, as computed with respect to the iteration function Bm(z), rapidly converge to the Voronoi regions. Thus the regions with chaotic behavior rapidly shrink to the boundaries of the Voronoi regions. The interplay between the Basic Sequence and the Basic Family result in new algorithms for approximation of polynomial roots. Also as a byproduct of the analysis we give determinantal representation of solution of homogeneous linear recurrence relations, easily computable bounds on the modulus of terms of such recurrence relations, and fast computation of determinant of certain Toeplitz matrices. Finally, we prove a relationship between the Basic Sequence and the iterates of Bernoulli Method for approximation of extreme roots.

Articial Intelligence Research Issues in Computational Simulation of Physical System Behavior
Creators: name: Gelsey, Andrew
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1992

description: Computational simulation is an important tool for predicting the behavior of physical systems. Many powerful simulation programs exist today. However, using these programs to reliably analyze a physical situation requires considerable human effort and expertise to set up a simulation, determine whether the output makes sense, and repeatedly run the simulation with different inputs until a satisfactory result is achieved. Automating this process is not only of considerable practical importance but also raises significant AI research issues in the areas of spatial reasoning and deep models of expert reasoning about physics and numerical analysis.
The problem with noise and small disjuncts
Creators: name: Weiss, Gary M.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1994

description: Systems that learn from examples often create a disjunctive concept definition. The disjuncts in the concept definition which cover only a few training examples are referred to as small disjuncts. The problem with small disjuncts is that they are more error prone than large disjuncts, but may be necessary to achieve a high level of predictive accuracy [Holte, Acker, and Porter, 1989]. This paper extends previous work done on the problem of small disjuncts by taking noise into account. It investigates the assertion that it is hard to learn from noisy data because it is difficult to distinguish between noise and true exceptions. In the process of evaluating this assertion, insights are gained into the mechanisms by which noise affects learning. Two domains are investigated. The experimental results in this paper suggest that for both Shapiro’s chess endgame domain [Shapiro, 1987] and for the Wisconsin breast cancer domain [Wolberg, 1990], the assertion is true, at least for low levels (5- 10%) of class noise.
A class of variable mesh multistep methods for solving simultaneous nonlinear equations
Creators: name: Tu, Kai-Wen
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1973

description: In a recent paper P.T. Boggs has demonstrated the use of fixed mesh A-stable integration techniques in solving simultaneous nonlinear equations. This paper treats a class of variable mesh multistep methods. The affect of slap size chinge on convergence is examined closely. It is shown that with suitable control on step size change a variable mesh linear multistep method is convergent if the underlying fixed mesh method satisfy certain conditions. Implicit and explicit Adams methods of order less than five and three satisfy these requirements readily. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed method: are demonstrated in numerical tostings using a practical algorithm for automatic step size control.
Composite Bulges
Creators: name: Erwin, Peter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Recent work strongly suggests that the "bulges" of z ~ 0 disk galaxies are often -- perhaps most of the time -- *composite* systems, consisting of multiple distinct, coexisting stellar structures. These include the boxy/peanut-shaped bulges of bars, nuclear disks, nuclear rings, nuclear bars, compact classical bulges, and nuclear star clusters of varying sizes. In addition to a general overview of this phenomenon, I will discuss recent findings from the Composite Bulge Survey, which uses HST imaging and 2D IFU stellar kinematics for a volume-limited sample of massive S0 and spiral galaxies to investigate the nature and demographics of such systems. One striking (if preliminary) result is that classical (spheroidal, kinematically hot) bulges are surprisingly rare even in massive, early-type disk galaxies.

description: Centella asiatica (CA) is a valuable crop for herbal, cosmetic, and medicinal industries due to its rich triterpenoids, and saponins in leaves. The CA petioles, stem, and runners (CAP) are considered as crop residue and in this study for the first time CAP extract was used for Photo-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs). Further, the synthesis process was optimized using response surface methodology. Synthesized SNPs were highly stable (-30.8 eV), spherical, and cube shape with a crystallite size of 22.83 nm. Phytochemical screening, FTIR, and Raman studies confirmed the presence of bioactive functional groups on CAP SNPs. The CAP extract and its SNPs confirmed higher antioxidant activity compared to standard (Ascorbic acid). The results of hazardous dye degradation studies showed that percentage dye degradation was higher in methyl orange (1 min; 97.54%) followed by Congo red (4 min; 90.86%), methyl red (10 min; 97.66%), and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (30 min; 93.28%) with rate constant of 0.062/sec, 0.00062/sec, 0.0099/sec, and 0.0015/sec respectively.

Year: 2025

description: The explosive growth of data-driven artificial intelligence in biomedicine is reshaping the scientific landscape, powering innovative healthcare solutions and transformative insights in life sciences. AI is proving to be a new paradigm for predictive modeling, which in turn demands a paradigm shift in our approach to model evaluation. Traditional algorithmic performance metrics alone are insufficient for comprehensive validation. Concurrent with the rise of AI modeling opportunities has been a proliferation of community-led benchmarking initiatives, fragmenting efforts and limiting their collective synergy and impact. This talk proposes fostering a coalition of Critical Assessment efforts. Such a coalition can enhance collaboration, establish rigorous validation standards, and build sustained trust in evolving AI methodologies, ensuring their robust and reliable integration into biomedical research.
