description: Mobile networks evolve on a regular basis to meet the requirements of a rapidly changing application ecosystem; hence, a future-proof design is key to getting the most out of their lifecycle. In comparison to other access networks, one major issue with the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is that it behaves as a "fat Layer 2" entity, resulting in disparities in Internet Protocol (IP) flow traffic control and radio resource allocation. In this article, we propose an innovative design - Integrated User Plane (IUP) - that incorporates User Plane Function (UPF) functionalities into RAN, and we introduce the Integrated Data Flow Control (IDFC) sublayer with a new traffic management pipeline and various programmable rules. To understand its implications for crucial mobility user cases, a detailed analysis of how IUP interacts with Control Plane (CP) network functions is conducted. Finally, our IUP prototype shows benefits including a 50% saving in both latency and overhead, converged IUP and non-Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks for seamless connectivity, and real-time UP programmability in both traffic control and resource allocation via the O-RAN framework.

description: Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze the most commonly used β-lactam-based antibiotics, leading to the development of multi-drug resistance. The three main clinically relevant groups of these enzymes are IMP, VIM, and NDM. This study aims to introduce potent novel overlapped candidates from a ZINC database retrieved from the 200,583-member natural library against the active sites of IMP-1, VIM-2, and NDM-1 through a straightforward computational workflow using virtual screening approaches. The screening pipeline started by assessing Lipinski’s rule of five (RO5), drug-likeness, and pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) which were used to generate a pharmacophore model using D-captopril as a standard inhibitor. The process was followed by the consensus docking protocol and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation combined with the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) method to compute the total binding free energy and evaluate the binding characteristics. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity (ADMET) profiles of the compounds were also analyzed, and the search space decreased to the final two inhibitory candidates for B1 subclass MBLs, which fulfilled all criteria for further experimental evaluation.

description: The rise of digital platforms has dramatically transformed the way businesses engage with consumers, leading to anincreasing demand for personalized marketing strategies. Traditional marketing methods, which often relied on broad,generalized campaigns, are no longer as effective in the digital age, where consumers expect tailored experiences. Machinelearning (ML), a powerful subset of artificial intelligence, has emerged as a game-changer in the field of marketing. By leveragingvast amounts of consumer data, ML allows businesses to predict customer behavior, segment audiences more accurately, anddeliver personalized content and advertisements. This paper explores how machine learning is revolutionizing personalizedmarketing strategies on digital platforms, highlighting its applications in customer segmentation, recommendation systems,predictive analytics, and customer journey optimization. Furthermore, it examines the challenges associated with implementingmachine learning in marketing, such as data privacy concerns and the need for high-quality data. The paper concludes bydiscussing the future potential of machine learning in shaping the evolution of personalized marketing.

description: Time series classification (TSC) is a cornerstone of modern web applications, powering tasks such as financial data analysis, network traffic monitoring, and user behavior analysis. In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly enhanced the performance of TSC models in these critical domains. However, DNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where attackers can covertly implant triggers into models to induce malicious outcomes. Existing backdoor attacks targeting DNN-based TSC models remain elementary. In particular, early methods borrow trigger designs from computer vision, which are ineffective for time series data. More recent approaches utilize generative models for trigger generation, but at the cost of significant computational complexity. In this work, we analyze the limitations of existing attacks and introduce an enhanced method, FreqBack. Drawing inspiration from the fact that DNN models inherently capture frequency domain features in time series data, we identify that improper perturbations in the frequency domain are the root cause of ineffective attacks. To address this, we propose to generate triggers both effectively and efficiently, guided by frequency analysis. FreqBack exhibits substantial performance across five models and eight datasets, achieving an impressive attack success rate of over 90%, while maintaining less than a 3% drop in model accuracy on clean data.

description: Modern cancer therapy now routinely employs the blocking of many oncoproteins or pathways. With two or more medicines, multiple inhibitions are often accomplished via DML techniques. In this study, we developed 30 quinazolinone derivatives as PARP1 and STAT3 dual inhibitors using DML methods and these compounds were tested for their dual inhibitory effect on PARP1 and STAT3 using docking, MM-GBSA, and molecular dynamics simulation investigations. The docking studies of ligands against PARP1 and STAT3 were performed using the Glide module, in silico ADMET screening was performed using the quickprob module, binding energy calculation was performed using the Prime MM-GBSA module, MD simulation was performed using the Desmond module, and atomic charges were calculated using the Jaguar module of Schrodinger suite 2019-4. Of the substances studied, the derivative 1f has a considerable gliding score. The in silico ADMET characteristics are within the approved range. PRIME MM-GB/SA was used to compute the binding free energy, and the results are substantial. To investigate the dynamic behavior of the protein-ligand complex, compound 1f was subjected to MD simulation at 100 ns. The tested chemical 1f produced the greatest results in MD simulations and MM-GBSA calculations, indicating that this ligand can inhibit more effectively. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: https://law.unimelb.edu.au/centres/mclrn/research/publications/malrIn the early months of the pandemic, Taylor Swift released her 8th studio album. For a songwriter known for her diaristic body of work, Folklore was a notable stylistic departure. The album was marked by Swift’s attempt to incorporate other voices into her storytelling, written from the perspectives of figures both real and fictional. Amongst the most widely discussed elements of Folklore is a love triangle told over the course of three songs: ‘Cardigan’, ‘August’ and ‘Betty’. Each song is written from the vantage point of a different character, with intertextual references to the other songs filling in the gaps of the story and providing a connecting thread.In this article, I approach Folklore and its central love triangle for the jurisprudential lessons it might offer. A jurisprudent is someone who develops a persona which cares for the conduct of lawful relations. In this article, I ask what forms of training Swift might provide to those of us who care about law. In particular, I approach Swift as a narrative jurisprudent, focusing on how she goes about crafting different personae, how she attempts to take responsibility for each of these personae, how she trains herself through the act of writing other selves, and how she trains her audience to listen well. I place each of these lessons in the context of Swift’s broader oeuvre as a songwriter, while also making a case for how they teach us to better take responsibility for law

description: English holly (Ilex aquifolium), a commonly found ornamental evergreen, was first introduced to the Pacific Northwest in the 18th century. Characterized by its quick growth rate, it threatens native biodiversity and forest structure. Previous studies explored treatments for English holly removal, suggesting herbicide application by the Paint method as most effective in the short term. This current study assessed the long-term efficacy of the EZ-Ject and Paint methods in the Pacific Spirit Regional Park (PSRP) seven years post-treatment. Our results revealed no significant differences between the two treatments but an observable ability of the EZ-Ject method to achieve better herbicide efficacy over time and effectively suppress the regrowth of English holly sprouts, whereas the Paint method has rapid effectiveness. More intense use of EZ-Ject and further post-treatment monitoring are recommended to inhibit English holly regrowth effectively.

description: Recent findings have highlighted the essential role of dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) in neuronal degeneration. Saraswatharishta (SWRT), an ayurvedic formulation utilized in traditional Indian medicine, has demonstrated effectiveness in addressing neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we aim to delve into the atomistic details of the mode of action of phytochemicals present in SWRT against DLK. Our screening process encompassed over 500 distinct phytochemicals derived from the main ingredients of the SWRT formulation. Through a comparative analysis of docking scores and relative poses, we successfully identified four novel compounds, which underwent further investigation via 2 × 500 ns long molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Among the top four compounds, CID16066851 sourced from the Acorus calamus displayed the most stable complex with DLK. The molecular mechanics Poisson − Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) calculations highlighted the significance of electrostatic and van der Waals interactions in the binding recognition process. Additionally, we identified key residues, namely Phe192, Leu243, Val139, and Leu141, as hotspots that predominantly govern the DLK-inhibitor interaction. Notably, the leading compounds are sourced from the Acorus calamus, Syzygium aromaticum, Zingiber officinale, and Anethum sowa plants present in the SWRT formulation. Overall, the findings of our study hold promise for future drug development endeavors combating neurodegenerative conditions. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: In an era where economies and societies are deeply integrated into cyberspace, achieving a robust level of digital sovereignty has become an essential goal for nations aiming to preserve their security and strategic political autonomy, particularly during turbulent geopolitical times marked by complex global supply chains of critical technologies that ties systemic rivals. Digital sovereignty is a multifaceted, interdisciplinary, and dynamic pursuit that fundamentally relies on a nation's ability to have continuous access to dependable technological capabilities (CTCs) for storing, transferring, and processing domestically produced data. This paper identifies how access continuity or technological dependability could be threatened by several malicious actions from cyberattacks, supply chain tamperings, political or economic actions. By examining different approaches adopted by countries like the United States, China, and the European Union, we highlight different strategies to get access to CTCs depending on their political, economic and institutional nature.

description: Emitting phased array RF systems have to contend with an ever-increasing number of eavesdroppers as technological advancements provide lower cost and/or more capable radios. Often, eavesdroppers can accumulate sufficient information transmitted in sidelobes by integrating over long enough periods. Directional modulation (DM) disrupts this capability by inducing a randomized walk through IQ-space to reach a pertinent location which corresponds to a symbol of particular amplitude and phase. This results in higher secrecy capacity. The path taken by the cumulative element contributions are determined by the complex weights of individual transmitters. Because large phased arrays support a large number of available paths, repetitions of applied weights are not concerning. The same cannot be said for arrays that consist of only a few elements, e.g. WiFi routers. We introduce a computationally efficient and flexible framework for DM that utilizes real-valued phase rotations of element weights. It supports a wide family of modulation schemes in phase and/or amplitude. Using state-of-the-practice orthogonal noise injection framework, we demonstrate a richness of unique paths resolving concerns about repeated weights. In our proposed scheme, there is a small reduction in received power compared to traditional beamforming, as little as 1 dB, which is an advantage over conventional directional modulation which typically sacrifices 6 dB of power. Also, there is a significantly larger set of possible element weights than that of the conventional scheme. This feature protects against the possibility of eavesdroppers breaking the distortion-based obfuscation of symbols over repeated observations. Our approach provides more secrecy capacity than conventional directional modulation via increased power delivery and increased receiver SNR and does so with resilience to advanced eavesdropping threats.

description: Predominant narratives of trans womanhood?from biomedical sources, Feminist depictions, and film representations?typically present trans women as monstrous and antagonistic to normative cisgender society. Accordingly, this thesis traces this oppositional frame to the roots of 'trans' as a cultural category, through 20th century biomedical discourses, Feminist conceptions of trans woman identity, and horror films in order to better understand the contemporary proliferation of antipathy and violence towards transgender women. In so doing, this thesis revisits trans exclusionary theorists such as Mary Daly and Janice Raymond, developing Daly's concept of 'robotitude' into a notion of transitory 'necrosis', positing the zombie as a moving post-human model for mapping anti-trans violence and transphobia in regard to becoming-trans. This thesis further argues for trans identity not as a stable ontology, but as a hauntological trajectory of becoming in which trans lives are rendered illegible and occluded.

Year: 2020

description: This study is a comparative dental analysis of two sites in the Inka heartland during the Late Horizon (1476-1532 CE), where residents were likely servants. Reconstructing the life histories of servant groups is critical to understanding Inka statecraft and the lived experiences of Inka subjects. Oral pathological conditions compared from two contemporaneous sites (N=34, N=65) to infer diet and activity-related stress. The first site, Salapunku, is 15km southeast of Machu Picchu and was likely an administrative outpost. The second site, Saqsahuaman, overlooks the capital of Cusco and functioned as a ceremonial center. Results identify a greater number of antemortem tooth loss and edentulous individuals at Saqsahuaman compared to Salapunku. In addition, Sacsayhuaman exhibits heavy wear that suggests a variety of habitual activity and may reflect different subsistence or economic backgrounds prior to living at the site. The results point to varied diets and activity patterns between the two sites that may reflect their differing functions.

description: Rape is, and always has been, a devastating event for anyone who has been a victim. To minimize the occurrence of rape, it is important to understand the factors that motivate it. The present study aims to explore one potential motivating factor, which is when the rapist perceives an opportunity to rape, such as when the likelihood of discovery is low. To surreptitiously test if men’s rape proclivity increases when the likelihood of discover is low, participants completed an online survey that manipulated the likelihood of discovery in two hypothetical situations: being able stop time and being invisible. Results showed that 64% of male participants reported some likelihood to rape in the stopping time scenario, and 65% of the men reported some likelihood to rape in the invisibility scenario. This study reveals a large percentage of participants indicating some likelihood to rape by attempting to assess rape proclivity indirectly.

Yeast-Based Human Protein Arginine N-Methyltransferase (PRMT) Assay Development for High-Throughput Screening
Creators: name: Liu, Rui Wen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Protein arginine methylation is a post-translational modification critical to various biological processes, including epigenetic regulation, RNA processing, and signal transduction. A family of enzymes known as protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs) are responsible for catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups to arginine residues of their target proteins, such as histones, nucleosomes, transcription factors, and various heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The prevalence of PRMTs in various biological pathways has made them promising druggable targets for various diseases like neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. PRMT2, in particular, is associated with various cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM), breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, its low enzymatic activity has posed a challenge in characterizing its functions and further elucidating its roles in the disease-causing pathways. This project aims to validate and develop a high-throughput phenotypic assay in a yeast model system to screen for PRMT activities. Previous research has generated a temperature-sensitive mutant of Npl3p, a yeast hnRNP protein involved in mRNA export from the nucleus. Yeast carrying this npl3-1 genetic mutation are unable to grow at temperatures above 34˚C due to aberrant nucleocytoplasmic localization that results in cell lethality at elevated growth temperatures. It has also been discovered that the overexpression of yeast Hmt1p and its human homologue, PRMT1, could functionally rescue this temperature-sensitive growth phenotype, while PRMT2 could not. In this project, the yeast strain PSY773, carrying the npl3-1 mutation, was transformed with genes encoding human PRMT1 and PRMT2 using two pGAL vectors. Unfortunately, unexpected growth patterns were observed from the transformants grown at the non-permissive temperature. Our troubleshooting efforts concluded that this observation could be attributed to the loss of the npl3-1 allele in the PSY773 stock we obtained, and further experimentation is needed to restore the temperature sensitivity of PSY773 for this assay. Moreover, we also observed a temperature-independent lethality in the yeast when the GFP-Npl3p (A254V) mutant fusion protein was overexpressed, which further implicated the role of Npl3p in yeast viability. The final outcomes of this yeast-based assay could provide us with a unique perspective in further studying the structure and functions of PRMT2 and its variants, contributing to a broader understanding of PRMT2’s biological roles and its linkage to oncogenic pathways.

Such concentration on national myths and commemorations will enable me to develop closer attention to the civil religion and nationalism in both contexts. I focus, in particular, on the Cosmogony of the two nations (Founders and Foundations), Manifest Destiny and the Megali Idea (Notions of Exceptional Chosenness and Expansionist Mission), as well as on National Days, Centennials and Bicentennials (Calendar and Ritual).

description: Urban parks are crucial for the well-being of city-dwellers, but also native pollinators like bees, insects, and other animals. These urban parks can be used recreationally, or as a place of gathering and learning. This is the vision for the redesigned Education Garden at Riley Park. It was planned with a goal of educating park visitors on the Indigenous uses of native plants, and their importance to native pollinators and ecosystems. The garden is currently surrounded by a chain-link fence which does not reflect LMNHS’ desire for a welcoming space. The new garden will provide an attractive, usable, garden space where each plant has potential to be used as an educational tool. The overall goal of this new garden is to enhance the wellbeing of Riley Parks’ surrounding neighbourhoods.LMNHS provided plant lists created by their Indigenous Perspective Lead, Zarah Martz, that were used in the creation of the Community Garden at Riley Park. A list of 67 plants was compiled from these lists and LMNHS’ archival data. Those plants were then evaluated for their suitability to the Education Garden’s environmental conditions: full sun, moist to well-drained soil, medium soil texture (silt loam or sandy loam), and a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. A preference was given towards plants that were native to the local area, important for pollinators, and used by the Indigenous peoples that live on this land: xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish). The final garden perimeter plan was created through personal communications with Zarah Martz, based on an original landscape design made by Frances Ramsay.
title: An Art Museum at the Intersection of Science and Technology:? An Anthropological Approach
Creators: name: Robert, Birney

description: In recent decades, museums have increasingly implemented technology, both technology to better assist in the visitor experience and technology within the art on display. This research explores the possibility for a university museum and residency program that would exhibit art intersecting with science and technology at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. Framed as an interest study, this thesis is situated in current scholarship pertaining to museum shifts of the 21st century and draws upon my interviews with interlocutors and participant observations. I make the case that community engagement, co-curation practices and residency programs can help museums be accountable and ethical to their publics. I utilize my ethnographic research to outline a proposal for a university museum and residency program at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

description: The Student Futures Project—formerly known as Creating a Central Texas High School Data Center—is a research partnership of the Ray Marshall Center, Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, Skillpoint Alliance, and a growing number of Central Texas independent school districts (ISDs). The project is documenting and analyzing the progress of Central Texas high school students as they move onto colleges and careers. It relies on a combination of student surveys and linked administrative records to improve feedback and policy and program alignment for Central Texas ISDs in preparing students for the demands of adulthood and for success in the workplace. The purpose of the Student Futures Project is two-fold: 1) To provide ISDs, postsecondary institutions, and employers with comprehensive, longitudinal research on what high school students are doing after graduation, why they are making these decisions, and how a variety of educational, personal, and financial factors are related to their success in higher education and the workforce; and 2) To offer workshops, seminars, and applied research on best practices and applied research that will assist ISDs, the Education Service Center, and postsecondary institutions to increase the number of regional youth who obtain postsecondary academic and workforce credentials.
The Impact of Dynamic Map Changes on Grid-Based Path Finding for Video Games
Creators: name: Saller, Teresa
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Efficient pathfinding on grid-based maps is a crucial aspect of many video games. Multiple algorithms have been developed to solve this problem. The DBA* algorithm leverages a database of pre-computed paths to speed up pathfinding and is both memory- and time-efficient. However, its efficiency is limited to static maps. In this work, we present a case-based system for updating the pre-computed information used in DBA* to adapt the algorithm after the occurrence of map changes. This allows us to apply DBA* to dynamically changing maps, while guaranteeing the same suboptimality as on static maps. With this new system, DBA* can compute paths faster than A* search even while performing two map updates for every path search.

description: Human–robot collaboration (HRC) is increasingly prevalent across various industries, promising to boost productivity, efficiency, and safety. As robotics technology advances and takes on more complex tasks traditionally performed by humans, the nature of work and the demands on workers are evolving. This shift emphasizes the need to critically integrate human factors into these interactions, as the effectiveness and safety of these systems are highly dependent on how workers cooperate with and understand robots. A significant challenge in this domain is the lack of a consensus on the most efficient way to operationalize and assess mental workload, which is crucial for optimizing HRC. In this systematic literature review, we analyze the different psychophysiological measures that can reliably capture and differentiate varying degrees of mental workload in different HRC settings. The findings highlight the crucial need for standardized methodologies in workload assessment to enhance HRC models. Ultimately, this work aims to guide both theorists and practitioners in creating more sophisticated, safe, and efficient HRC frameworks by providing a comprehensive overview of the existing literature and pointing out areas for further study.
