description: The separation of CO2 from the biogas mixtures (CH4/CO2) is essential for biogas upgradation. However, polymer membranes used for CO2 separation exhibit low permeability. Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) incorporating inorganic filler in the polymer enhance CO2 separation. In this work, bio-degradable cellulose acetate (CA) based MMMs with varying filler weight percentages (2-20 wt.%) of ZIF-8were studied for the separation of CO2 from a model biogas (CH4/CO2) mixture. The MMMs were characterized by analysis of TGA and DSC for thermal stability and FTIR for alteration or formation of any new functional group. FESEM was done to evaluate the dispersion and interaction of ZIF-8 in the CA polymer matrix. Considering the economic aspect, the fabricated MMMs were tested for gas separation performance at reasonably lower feed pressure (1.5 bar, 2 bar). MMM with 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% of ZIF-8/ CA MMMs showed the best performance with CO2 permeability of 9.65 Barrer and 9.5 Barrer, approximately two folds as compared to pure CA, and CO2/CH4 selectivity was 10.37 and 15.3. The experimental results were compared with the predicted gas permeation results determined using MMM transport predictive models, and found that the permeabilities were higher than the model predictions.

description:
In the 20th century, researchers studying animal and plant signaling pathways discovered a protein domain that is shared across diverse innate immune systems: the Toll/interleukin-1/resistance gene (TIR) domain. The TIR domain is found in several protein architectures and was defined as an adaptor that mediates protein-protein interactions in animal innate immunity and developmental signaling pathways. However, studies of nerve degeneration in animals-and subsequent breakthroughs in plant, bacterial, and archaeal systems-revealed that TIR domains possess enzymatic activities. We provide a synthesis of TIR functions and the role of various related TIR enzymatic products in evolutionarily diverse immune systems. These studies may ultimately guide interventions that would span the tree of life, from treating human neurodegenerative disorders and bacterial infections to preventing plant diseases.
Is localized acquired resistance the mechanism for effector-triggered disease resistance in plants?

description:
Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are intracellular immune receptors that are activated by their direct or indirect interactions with virulence effectors. NLR activation triggers a strong immune response and consequent disease resistance. However, the NLR-driven immune response can be targeted by virulence effectors. It is thus unclear how immune activation can occur concomitantly with virulence effector suppression of immunity. Recent observations suggest that the activation of effector-triggered immunity does not sustain defence gene expression in tissues in contact with the hemi-biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. Instead, strong defence was observed on the border of the infection area. This response is reminiscent of localized acquired resistance (LAR). LAR is a strong defence response occurring in a ~2 mm area around cells in contact with the pathogen and probably serves to prevent the spread of pathogens. Here we propose that effector-triggered immunity is essentially a quarantining mechanism to prevent systemic pathogen spread and disease, and that the induction of LAR is a key component of this mechanism.

description:
TIR domains are NAD-degrading enzymes that function during immune signaling in prokaryotes, plants, and animals. In plants, most TIR domains are incorporated into intracellular immune receptors termed TNLs. In Arabidopsis, TIR-derived small molecules bind and activate EDS1 heterodimers, which in turn activate RNLs, a class of cation channel-forming immune receptors. RNL activation drives cytoplasmic Ca2+ influx, transcriptional reprogramming, pathogen resistance, and host cell death. We screened for mutants that suppress an RNL activation mimic allele and identified a TNL, SADR1. Despite being required for the function of an autoactivated RNL, SADR1 is not required for defense signaling triggered by other tested TNLs. SADR1 is required for defense signaling initiated by some transmembrane pattern recognition receptors and contributes to the unbridled spread of cell death in lesion simulating disease 1. Together with RNLs, SADR1 regulates defense gene expression at infection site borders, likely in a non-cell autonomous manner. RNL mutants that cannot sustain this pattern of gene expression are unable to prevent disease spread beyond localized infection sites, suggesting that this pattern corresponds to a pathogen containment mechanism. SADR1 potentiates RNL-driven immune signaling not only through the activation of EDS1 but also partially independently of EDS1. We studied EDS1-independent TIR function using nicotinamide, an NADase inhibitor. Nicotinamide decreased defense induction from transmembrane pattern recognition receptors and decreased calcium influx, pathogen growth restriction, and host cell death following intracellular immune receptor activation. We demonstrate that TIR domains can potentiate calcium influx and defense and are thus broadly required for Arabidopsis immunity.

description:
Intracellular plant immune receptors, termed NLRs (Nucleotide-binding Leucine-rich repeat Receptors), confer effector-triggered immunity. Sensor NLRs are responsible for pathogen effector recognition. Helper NLRs function downstream of sensor NLRs to transduce signaling and induce cell death and immunity. Activation of sensor NLRs that contain TIR (Toll/interleukin-1receptor) domains generates small molecules that induce an association between a downstream heterodimer signalosome of EDS1 (EnhancedDisease Susceptibility 1)/SAG101 (Senescence-AssociatedGene 101) and the helper NLR of NRG1 (NRequired Gene 1). Autoactive NRG1s oligomerize and form calcium signaling channels largely localized at the plasma membrane (PM). The molecular mechanisms of helper NLR PM association and effector-induced NRG1 oligomerization are not well characterized. We demonstrate that helper NLRs require positively charged residues in their N-terminal domains for phospholipid binding and PM association before and after activation, despite oligomerization and conformational changes that accompany activation. We demonstrate that effector activation of a TIR-containing sensor NLR induces NRG1 oligomerization at the PM and that the cytoplasmic pool of EDS1/SAG101 is critical for cell death function. EDS1/SAG101 cannot be detected in the oligomerized NRG1 resistosome, suggesting that additional unknown triggers might be required to induce the dissociation of EDS1/SAG101 from the previously described NRG1/EDS1/SAG101 heterotrimer before subsequent NRG1 oligomerization. Alternatively, the conformational changes resulting from NRG1 oligomerization abrogate the interface for EDS1/SAG101 association. Our data provide observations regarding dynamic PM association during helper NLR activation and underpin an updated model for effector-induced NRG1 resistosome formation.

description:
Plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) analyzed to date oligomerize and form resistosomes upon activation to initiate immune responses. Some NLRs are encoded in tightly linked co-regulated head-to-head genes whose products function together as pairs. We uncover the oligomerization requirements for different Arabidopsis paired CHS3-CSA1 alleles. These pairs form resting-state heterodimers that oligomerize into complexes distinct from NLRs analyzed previously. Oligomerization requires both conserved and allele-specific features of the respective CHS3 and CSA1 Toll-like interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains. The receptor kinases BAK1 and BIRs inhibit CHS3-CSA1 pair oligomerization to maintain the CHS3-CSA1 heterodimer in an inactive state. Our study reveals that paired NLRs hetero-oligomerize and likely form a distinctive "dimer of heterodimers" and that structural heterogeneity is expected even among alleles of closely related paired NLRs.

description: Training data compositions for Large Language Models (LLMs) can significantly affect their downstream performance. However, a thorough data ablation study exploring large sets of candidate data mixtures is typically prohibitively expensive since the full effect is seen only after training the models; this can lead practitioners to settle for sub-optimal data mixtures. We propose an efficient method for approximating data ablations which trains individual models on subsets of a training corpus and reuses them across evaluations of combinations of subsets. In continued pre-training experiments, we find that, given an arbitrary evaluation set, the perplexity score of a single model trained on a candidate set of data is strongly correlated with perplexity scores of parameter averages of models trained on distinct partitions of that data. From this finding, we posit that researchers and practitioners can conduct inexpensive simulations of data ablations by maintaining a pool of models that were each trained on partitions of a large training corpus, and assessing candidate data mixtures by evaluating parameter averages of combinations of these models. This approach allows for substantial improvements in amortized training efficiency -- scaling only linearly with respect to new data -- by enabling reuse of previous training computation, opening new avenues for improving model performance through rigorous, incremental data assessment and mixing.

description: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the role of radon in the epidemiology of stroke among women. We therefore examined the association between home radon exposure and risk of stroke among middle-aged and older women in the United States.
METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years at baseline (1993-1998) in the Women's Health Initiative. We measured exposures as 2-day, indoor, lowest living-level average radon concentrations in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) as estimated in 1993 by the US Geological Survey and reviewed by the Association of American State Geologists under the Indoor Radon Abatement Act. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate risk of incident, neurologist-adjudicated stroke during follow-up through 2020 as a hazard ratio and 95% CI, adjusting for study design and participant demographic, social, behavioral, and clinical characteristics.
RESULTS: Among 158,910 women without stroke at baseline (mean age 63.2 years; 83% white), 6,979 incident strokes were identified over follow-up (mean 13.4 years). Incidence rates were 333, 343, and 349 strokes per 100,000 woman-years at radon concentrations of <2, 2-4, and >4 pCi/L, respectively. Compared with women living at concentrations <2 pCi/L, those at 2-4 and >4 pCi/L had higher covariate-adjusted risks of incident stroke: hazard ratio (95% CI) 1.06 (0.99-1.13) and 1.14 (1.05-1.22). Using nonlinear spline functions to model radon, stroke risk was significantly elevated at concentrations ranging from 2 to 4 pCi/L (p = 0.0004), that is, below the United States Environmental Protection Agency Radon Action Level for mitigation (4 pCi/L). Associations were slightly stronger for ischemic (especially cardioembolic, small vessel occlusive, and large artery atherosclerotic) than hemorrhagic stroke, but otherwise robust in sensitivity analyses.
DISCUSSION: Radon exposure is associated with moderately increased stroke risk among middle-aged and older women in the United States, suggesting that promulgation of a lower Radon Action Level may help reduce the domestic impact of cerebrovascular disease on public health.

description:
Plant diseases cause famines, drive human migration, and present challenges to agricultural sustainability as pathogen ranges shift under climate change. Plant breeders discovered Mendelian genetic loci conferring disease resistance to specific pathogen isolates over 100 years ago. Subsequent breeding for disease resistance underpins modern agriculture and, along with the emergence and focus on model plants for genetics and genomics research, has provided rich resources for molecular biological exploration over the last 50 years. These studies led to the identification of extracellular and intracellular receptors that convert recognition of extracellular microbe-encoded molecular patterns or intracellular pathogen-delivered virulence effectors into defense activation. These receptor systems, and downstream responses, define plant immune systems that have evolved since the migration of plants to land ∼500 million years ago. Our current understanding of plant immune systems provides the platform for development of rational resistance enhancement to control the many diseases that continue to plague crop production.

description: Reliable facial expression learning (FEL) involves the effective learning of distinctive facial expression characteristics for more reliable, unbiased and accurate predictions in real-life settings. However, current systems struggle with FEL tasks because of the variance in people's facial expressions due to their unique facial structures, movements, tones, and demographics. Biased and imbalanced datasets compound this challenge, leading to wrong and biased prediction labels. To tackle these, we introduce GReFEL, leveraging Vision Transformers and a facial geometry-aware anchor-based reliability balancing module to combat imbalanced data distributions, bias, and uncertainty in facial expression learning. Integrating local and global data with anchors that learn different facial data points and structural features, our approach adjusts biased and mislabeled emotions caused by intra-class disparity, inter-class similarity, and scale sensitivity, resulting in comprehensive, accurate, and reliable facial expression predictions. Our model outperforms current state-of-the-art methodologies, as demonstrated by extensive experiments on various datasets.

description:
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, disproportionately affects individuals of African ancestry. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for POAG in 11,275 individuals of African ancestry (6,003 cases; 5,272 controls). We detected 46 risk loci associated with POAG at genome-wide significance. Replication and post-GWAS analyses, including functionally informed fine-mapping, multiple trait co-localization, and in silico validation, implicated two previously undescribed variants (rs1666698 mapping to DBF4P2; rs34957764 mapping to ROCK1P1) and one previously associated variant (rs11824032 mapping to ARHGEF12) as likely causal. For individuals of African ancestry, a polygenic risk score (PRS) for POAG from our mega-analysis (African ancestry individuals) outperformed a PRS from summary statistics of a much larger GWAS derived from European ancestry individuals. This study quantifies the genetic architecture similarities and differences between African and non-African ancestry populations for this blinding disease.

description:
Rationale: Although COPD prevalence and exacerbations have been linked to ambient pollutants, evidence on the impact of ambient pollutants on COPD incidence is relatively sparse. Objectives: To evaluate the associations of long-term ambient particulate matter (PM2.5; PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and incident self-reported COPD in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a large prospective cohort study of post-menopausal women across the United States. Methods: We estimated annual average residential pollutant concentrations using validated spatiotemporal models and monitored data. We estimated pollutant-COPD associations as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) per inter-quartile range (IQR) increase in pollutant using time-varying Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders including sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and health factors, and WHI Clinical Center at baseline. Finally, we assessed the joint impact of exposure to multiple pollutants using quantile-based G-computation for survival outcomes. Measurements and Main Results: During the median follow-up time of 11.1 years, the study participants experienced 3532 cases of COPD. HRs ranged from 1.20 (95% CI:1.15, 1.26) per IQR increase in PM2.5, to 1.19 (95% CI:1.13, 1.26) per IQR increase in NO2, to 1.10 (95% CI:1.06, 1.15) per IQR increase in PM10. In our multi-pollutant model, a quartile increase in PM2.5 and NO2 was associated with a HR of 1.16 (95% CI:1.11, 1.20). Conclusions: In this national cohort of post-menopausal women, the long-term residential concentrations of ambient particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and NO2 were associated with a higher risk of incident COPD.
