Proteome screening, identification, designing of potent antigenic peptides and chemoinformatics approach of Neisseria meningitides: a cause of meningitis
Creators: name: Mishra, Suman
name: Panda, Pritam Kumar
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges.

Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore, the condition is classified as a medical emergency.
The scope of the current work is to predict and design a potent antigenic peptide of the bacteria Neisseria Meningitides so as to develop a potential vaccine.
The bacterial proteome is collected from NCBI database followed by the screening for the foreign proteins. The proteins were further screened for the identification of most antigenic sites within them.

The selected antigenic peptides were designed using Argus Lab software followed by the geometry optimization and energy evaluation. Based on the energy values the best antigenic peptides were selected and can be further processed for the production of potential vaccine to eradicate the disease.

Further the Chemo-informatics approach may leads to the medication of this epidemic disease and to identify the Binding affinity of the peptides for the purpose of eradication of Meningitis using HEX and in addition to that several parametric calculations and simulation can be done for designing of attenuated vaccines.​

description: Konie odgrywały dużą rolę w życiu starożytnych Rzymian. Wykorzystywa¬no je pod wierzch, do noszenia ciężarów, ciągnięcia lekkich pojazdów, w cyrkach oraz armii. Ze względu na sposób użytkowania zwierzęta te były narażone na liczne choroby i urazy, spośród których szczególnie groźne były choroby kopyt. Uszkodzenia i choroby kopyt powodowały dyskomfort, ból, często utrudniały też bądź wręcz uniemożliwiały poruszanie eliminując zwierzęta z dalszego użytkowania. Wegecjusz w swojej pracy opisał objawy chorób kopyt oraz sposoby ich leczenia, równocześnie mocno podkreślał znaczenie higieny i profilaktyki. Choroby opisane przez Rzymianina można identyfikować z ochwatem, kulawizną, która często nie stanowi osobnej choroby, lecz jedynie objaw np. ochwatu oraz nagwożdżeniem, zagwożdżeniem czy podbiciem – mechanicznymi urazami kopyta spowodowanymi ciałem obcym.

Kontrowersje wokół daty urodzin cesarza Flawiusza Klaudiusza Juliana zwanego Apostatą

description: Cesarz Julian (Flavius Claudius Julianus) zwany Apostatą z pewnością jest postacią intrygującą. Na jego temat powstało wiele opracowań, jednak dużo faktów z życia, szczególnie z dzieciństwa i młodości tego cesarza pozostaje nieznanych lub budzi wśród badaczy kontrowersje. Jednym z nich jest jego data urodzin. Jej określenia podejmowali się nowożytni badacze już od XVII i XVIII w. Przy czym, mniej więcej do 1850 r. panowało przekonanie, że Julian urodził się w pierwszej połowie 331 lub nawet w 330 r. Podawano również rok 332 jako datę urodzin tego cesarza. Od końca XIX w. do dziś podaje się zarówno początek jak i koniec roku 331 lub rok 332. Zapisuje się ją również jako 331/332. Natomiast, według mnie zbyt pochopnie, nie jest brany pod uwagę rok 330. Uważam również, że datę urodzin tego cesarza można precyzyjne określić. Ostatnia praca na ten temat powstała w latach siedemdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku. Nie przyniosła jednak rozwiązania problemu. Rozbieżne opinie oraz argumenty wszystkich autorów, którzy zajmowali się tym tematem, omawiam w tekście głównym oraz w przypisach. Poznanie dat i chronologii wydarzeń jest jednym z zadań historii, pozwala to na poruszanie się w kręgu faktów a nie domysłów. Zatem celem mojej pracy jest próba eliminacji istniejących kontrowersji i poznanie daty urodzin Juliana. Jedyną metodą osiągnięcia tego celu jest zebranie możliwie dużej liczby informacji o wieku tego cesarza, w czasie różnych wydarzeń z jego życia od dnia urodzin aż do śmierci. Przy tym, za najbardziej wiarygodne uznaję i podaję w pierwszej kolejności fakty opisane przez samego Juliana, dalej przez autorów mu współczesnych i w końcu historyków starożytnych piszących wiele lat później. Taki sposób umożliwi poznanie jednoznacznie określonego wieku cesarza, podczas niepodważalnie znanego co do daty wydarzenia. Wówczas w prosty sposób będzie można obliczyć czas urodzin Juliana.

Anti-malaria drug discovery: high-throughput assay to identify inhibitors of the Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast DNA polymerase

description: Infection by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum is the leading cause of malaria in humans. The parasite contains a plastid-like organelle called the apicoplast, which is essential for survival within the host. The apicoplast maintains its own genome, which must undergo replication and repair. apPOL has been identified as the putative apicoplast replicative DNA polymerase and as it shares no direct orthology to mammalian polymerases, P. falciparum apPOL is an attractive anti-malarial drug target. We have developed a fluorescence-based high-throughput DNA polymerase assay to screen for compounds that inhibit apPOL activity. Analysis of validation experiments indicates that the assay is statistically robust with a signal window of 7.90 and a Z’ factor of 0.71. A pilot screen of a 2880 compound library identified 62 possible inhibitors that cause at least 50% inhibition of polymerase activity. Additionally, a collection of 400 compounds called the Malaria Box was screened. This collection is composed of chemicals that are known to be active against P. falciparum but their targets and mechanism are unknown. Nine of these compounds were identified as possible inhibitors of P. falciparum apPOL using our high-throughput assay. The simplicity and robustness of the assay provides a solid platform for screening apicoplast polymerase inhibitors which could serve as lead compounds in the efforts to discover and produce anti-malaria drugs.
A coupled reconfiguration mechanism that enables powerful, pseudoknot-robust DNA strand displacement devices with 2-stranded inputs

description: DNA strand displacement, a collective name for certain behaviors of short strands of DNA, has been used to build many interesting molecular devices over the past few decades. Among those devices are general implementation schemes for Chemical Reaction Networks, suggesting a place in an abstraction hierarchy for complex molecular programming. However, the possibilities of DNA strand displacement are far from fully explored. On a theoretical level, most DNA strand displacement systems are built out of a few simple motifs, with the space of possible motifs otherwise unexplored. On a practical level, the desire for general, large-scale DNA strand displacement systems is not fulfilled. Those systems that are scalable are not general, and those that are general don’t scale up well. We have recently been exploring the space of possibilities for DNA strand displacement systems where all input complexes are made out of at most 2 strands of DNA. As a test case, we’ve had an open question of whether such systems can implement general Chemical Reaction Networks, in a way that has a certain set of other desirable properties—reversible, systematic, O(1) toeholds, bimolecular reactions, and correct according to CRN bisimulation—that the state-of-the-art implementations with more than 2-stranded inputs have. Until now we’ve had a few results that have all but one of those desirable properties, including one based on a novel mechanism we called coupled reconfiguration, but that depended on the physically questionable assumption that pseudoknots cannot occur. We wondered whether the same type of mechanism could be done in a pseudoknot-robust way. In this work we show that in fact, coupled reconfiguration can be done in a pseudoknot-robust way, and this mechanism can implement general Chemical Reaction Networks with all inputs being single strands of DNA. Going further, the same motifs used in this mechanism can implement stacks and surface-based bimolecular reactions. Those have been previously studied as part of polymer extensions of the Chemical Reaction Network model, and on an abstract model level, the resulting extensions are Turing-complete in ways the base Chemical Reaction Network model is not. Our mechanisms are significantly different from previously tested DNA strand displacement systems, which raises questions about their ability to be implemented experimentally, but we have some reasons to believe the challenges are solvable. So we present the pseudoknot-robust coupled reconfiguration mechanism and its use for general Chemical Reaction Network implementations; we present the extensions of the mechanism to stack and surface reactions; and we discuss the possible obstacles and solutions to experimental implementation, as well as the theoretical implications of this mechanism.

description: Uchwytna w źródłach kariera Faresmanesa z Lazyki trwała ok. dwudziestu pięciu lat. Najbardziej znany jej etap przypada na wojnę Bizancjum z Persją w latach 502-506. Udział w wojnie Faresmanes zaczynał prawdopodobnie jako comes rei militaris, natomiast kończył jako magister militum (być może praesentalis). W 506 r. był obecny podczas negocjacji pokojowych z Persami, kierowa¬nych przez Celera, magistra officiorum. Za panowania Justyna I powierzono mu misję usunięcia antychalcedońskiego biskupa Edessy Pawła i działania przeciw tamtejszemu środowisku monofizyckich mnichów. Swoją karierę kończył, jako poseł Justyna I do Persów. Faresmanes miał opinię znakomitego żołnierza i zwycięskiego wodza, którego bali się przeciwnicy.

description: Walraven photometry of established and probable members of the Orion OB1 association is presented. Effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity and mass are derived for all stars, using atmosphere models by Kurucz (1979). Absolute magnitudes are calculated using the Straizys and Kuriliene (1981) tables. Distance moduli and visual extinctions are determined. A comparison of the visual extinctions to IRAS $100\um$ data shows that the near edge of the Orion A and B clouds lies at a distance of $\sim 320\pc$, while the far edge is at $\sim 500\pc$. A method for deriving the ages of the subgroups by comparing theoretical isochrones to the observations in the log g, log T plane is presented. The derived ages suggest, contrary to earlier studies, that subgroup 1b is younger than 1c, which can possibly be explained by past geometries of the system of stars and gas. The initial mass function for Orion OB1 is derived with the aid of the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test. Through extensive simulations, we show that it is very difficult to derive accurately the IMF from the available data. To within somewhat weak limits the IMF is found to be of the form $ξ(\log M)=AM^{-1.7\pm 0.2}$ for all subgroups. The energy output of the subgroups in the form of stellar winds and supernovae is calculated and compared to the observed size and expansion velocity of the Orion-Eridanus bubble. It is shown that the energy output of the association can account for the morphology and kinematics of the ISM.

description: Background and aims

Persistent post surgical pain (PPSP) is a known health care problem with substantial impact in patients’ lives. Despite the large number of studies, there is a need for new and better treatment solutions. We belong to a hospital with a surgical activity of 8003 patients in 2014, and in this study we report our experience with lidocaine patch 5% in PPSP.

Conclusions

Our case report study supports the use of lidocaine patch to PPSP. More studies are needed to evaluate if its effectiveness is applied to other types of neuropathic localized pain.

description: Przedmiotem rozważań w tekście jest liczebność bizantyńskich armii w trakcie antybułgarskich kampanii zbrojnych mających na celu przekroczenie pasma górskiego Hemosu (obejmującego dzisiejsze masywy Przedbałkanu, Starej Płaniny i Srednej Gory/Antybałkanu) lub/i prowadzenie działań zbrojnych u jego podnóży. Analiza narracyjnych tekstów źródłowych prowadzi do wniosku, że użyte w nich sformułowania albo mają nader ogólny charakter, wskazując jedynie, czy mowa o wielkich bądź też nielicznych oddziałach cesarskich, albo liczby w nich padające nie mogą, w większości przypadków, być brane za wiarygodne. W tej sytuacji należy bazować na informacjach zawartych w bizantyńskich podręcznikach wojskowości i arabskich źródłach opisujących stan liczbowy armii bizantyńskiej w poszczególnych jednostkach administracyjnych (temach) cesarstwa. Te natomiast wskazują, iż nawet najliczniejsze cesarskie siły ekspedycyjne w wojnach z północnymi sąsiadami imperium nie przekraczały zazwy¬czaj 20000-25000 zbrojnych.

description: Background:

When a very low target intraocular pressure (IOP) is required, the surgeries with the most data supporting reaching target have been trabeculectomy or a Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, such as ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with the trabectome are currently reported on more for their safety than for their ability to reach low target IOP’s in advanced stages of glaucoma.  The goal of this study is to provide the first published comparison between IOP after AIT and BGI.

Hypothesis: AIT will result in a smaller IOP drop, but with fewer complications

Conclusions: In this retrospective study of AIT matched to BGI, the IOP was reduced by 26% with AIT and 38% with BGI after 1 year.  Although BGI surgery resulted in 3.3 mmHg lower IOP in comparison to AIT, it was also 1.9 times more likely to require re-intervention and significantly more complications.   This study offers further results to consider when assessing the risks and benefits of penetrating versus minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries.

description: Purpose:  Ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with the trabectome (Neomedix, Tustin, CA, USA) is a 10-year old, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) that lowers the intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing aqueous outflow by ablating the trabecular meshwork.  Although trabectome has been compared to trabeculectomy, a comparison to aqueous shunts has not yet been published.

Conclusions: In this retrospective study of AIT matched to AGI, there was no difference in IOP lowering at 1 week and 1, 3, and 6 months. At 1 year, AGI patients achieved a lower IOP that required twice as many drops as AIT.

Year: 2022

description: This poster was presented at the the 2022 VIRTUAL Alaska Marine Science Symposium (24 - 27 January 2022) Abstract: FACE-IT is an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project, which aims to enable adaptive co-management of social-ecological fjord systems in the Arctic in the face of rapid cryosphere and biodiversity changes. The project will identify ways to manage the impacts of climate change on the cryosphere and marine biodiversity, and the interaction with other drivers of change. The concept of FACE-IT rests on a comparison of selected Arctic fjord systems at different stage of cryosphere loss in Greenland, Svalbard and Finnmark, Northern Norway. The underlying two-pronged hypothesis is (1) that the biodiversity of Arctic coastal zones is changing in accordance with the rates of cryosphere changes, and (2) that these changes affect local communities, food production, livelihoods and other ecosystem services. FACE-IT approaches European Arctic fjords as local social-ecological systems. It gathers a strong interdisciplinary team of internationally recognized experts from both natural and social sciences. FACE-IT is organized in seven highly interdisciplinary work packages focusing on the (1) drivers of change, their (2) effects on biodiversity, (3) ecosystem functioning, (4) food provision and indigenous livelihoods, (5) nature-based tourism, (6) the co-production of knowledge to identify governance strategies for adaptive co-management, and (7) public outreach and policy input. It includes the participation of Arctic stakeholders to ensure that Indigenous and local knowledges, perceptions and concerns about ongoing changes are taken into account in defining innovative and adaptive co-management approaches towards a more sustainable future. In this way, FACE-IT will deliver significant contributions towards the implementation of the new integrated EU policy for the Arctic.

description: Anna Komnena, Jan Skyliztes, Jan Zonaras wspominają o przesiedleniu heretyków ze Wschodu, najprawdopodobniej paulicjan, za panowania Jana I Tzimiskesa w okolice Filipopola. Została im tam powierzona służba wojskowa. Przesiedlenia te związane były z kampaniami cesarza Tzimiskesa, a następnie też Bazylego II na terenach Syrii i Armenii. Wspomniani w źródłach heretycy (paulicjanie) na stale związali się z Filipopolem i okolicznymi ziemiami, zachowując swoje umiejętności militarne. W XI w. oraz w pierwszych dekadach XII w. z pewnością byli wykorzystywani do walki z koczownikami spoza Dunaju (Pieczyngowie, Kumani-Połowcy). Jest też prawdopodobnym, że heretyccy przesiedleńcy za panowania Jana Tzimiskesa mieli za zadanie strzec ziem bizantyńskich przed zagrożeniem z zachodu, z terenów bułgarskich, na których z wolna kształtowało się centrum nowego, potężnego państwa Samuela.

description: Spatio-Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (ST-CNN) allow extending CNN capabilities from image processing to consecutive temporal-pattern recognition. Generally, state-of-the-art (SotA) ST-CNNs inflate the feature maps and weights from well-known CNN backbones to represent the additional time dimension. However, edge computing applications would suffer tremendously from such large computation or memory overhead. Fortunately, the overlapping nature of ST-CNN enables various optimizations, such as the dilated causal convolution structure and Depth-First (DF) layer fusion to reuse the computation between time steps and CNN sliding windows, respectively. Yet, no hardware-aware approach has been proposed that jointly explores the optimal strategy from a scheduling as well as a hardware point of view. To this end, we present ACCO, an automated optimizer that explores efficient Causal CNN transformation and DF scheduling for ST-CNNs on edge hardware accelerators. By cost-modeling the computation and data movement on the accelerator architecture, ACCO automatically selects the best scheduling strategy for the given hardware-algorithm target. Compared to the fixed dilated causal structure, ST-CNNs with ACCO reach an ~8.4x better Energy-Delay-Product. Meanwhile, ACCO improves ~20% in layer-fusion optimals compared to the SotA DF exploration toolchain. When jointly optimizing ST-CNN on the temporal and spatial dimension, ACCO's scheduling outcomes are on average 19x faster and 37x more energy-efficient than spatial DF schemes.

Collective dynamics of active dumbbells near a circular obstacle

description: In this article, we present the collective dynamics of active dumbbells in the presence of a static circular obstacle using Brownian dynamics simulation. The active dumbbells aggregate on the surface of a circular obstacle beyond a critical radius. The aggregation is non-uniform along the circumference, and the aggregate size increases with the activity and the curvature radius. The dense aggregate of active dumbbells displays persistent rotational motion with a certain angular speed, which linearly increases with the activity. Further, we show the strong polar ordering of the active dumbbells within the aggregate. The polar ordering exhibits a long-range correlation, with the correlation length corresponding to the aggregate size. Additionally, we show that the residence time of an active dumbbell on the obstacle surface grows rapidly with area fraction due to many-body interactions that lead to a slowdown of the rotational diffusion. The article further considers the dynamical behavior of a tracer particle in the solution of active dumbbells. Interestingly, the speed of the passive tracer particle displays a crossover from monotonically decreasing to increasing with the tracer particle's size upon increasing the dumbbells' speed. Furthermore, the effective diffusion of the tracer particle displays the non-monotonic behavior with area fraction; the initial increase of the diffusivity is followed by a decrease for larger area fraction.

REMARK
Rothschild indicated that he described this taxon on one male and one female specimens but the female proves to be a male. A few pages later, he describes a female specimen of this taxon under the name Automolis pseudidalus Rothschild, 1909. The female was redescribed by Toulgoët (2002b: 256) under the name miniata. The synonymy with Automolis pseudidalus was published by Toulgoët (2002c: 525).

description: Hellweger et al. (Reports, 27 May 2022, pp. 1001) predict that phosphorus limitation will increase concentrations of cyanobacterial toxins in lakes. However, several molecular, physiological, and ecological mechanisms assumed in their models are poorly supported or contradicted by other studies. We conclude that their take-home message that phosphorus load reduction will make Lake Erie more toxic is seriously flawed. © 2022 the authors

High body mass index associated with increased Goldmann IOP but normal pneumatonometry IOP
Creators: name: Loewen, Nils
name: Liu, John

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Measuring Goldmann (GM) IOP in individuals with high body mass index (BMI) poses challenges to both the patient and examiner. For the patient it is difficult to lean forward far enough to reach the head rest with both chin and forehead. Increased intraabdominal volume can lead to breathing problems and Valsalva-maneuver (Fig 1) This can make it challenging to determine IOP reliably and may questions GM validity in high BMI. Because lowering IOP is the only proven method to prevent or slow glaucomatous damage it would be interesting to know whether such measurements deviate from IOP obtained in a more relaxed body position.
