Structural characterisation of the regulation of the catalytic subunit of the COP9 signalosome: Identification of new opportunities for drug discovery
Creators: name: Ford, Kirsty
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: CSN5 is an MPN+ domain protein which, when in complex with the COP9 signalosome (CSN) or its MPN- domain partner, CSN6, can deNEDDylate cullin-RING ligases (CRL) ceasing their activity (Kato & Yoneda‐Kato, 2009). CSN5 also has important non-catalytic activity. It is a prolific nuclear export protein, able to translocate p27 (Tomoda et al., 2002) as well as stabilising several proteins including c-Jun and the 9-1-1 DNA damage repair complex (Claret et al., 1996). Unsurprisingly, due to its interactions with several oncogenic and tumour suppressive proteins, CSN5 has been implicated in the initiation of several different cancer types (Adler et al., 2008, Lee et al., 2011, Pan et al., 2014, Shackleford et al., 2011).
There is still little understood about the mechanisms of activation of CSN5 by CSN6 due to low resolution structural data. Described here is a high resolution (1.9 Å) crystallographic system that was used to determine the intricate mechanisms of binding between CSN5 and CSN6. This system was also used to uncover a new functional pocket at the CSN5-CSN6 interface in which several compounds were fitted and tested for effect on activity using a developed fluorescence polarisation assay. Results from this assay have found several of these compounds to significantly increase CSN5 activity up to 4-fold. The discovery of this previously unknown pocket could provide a specific mechanism for targeting CSN5 as well as increasing our understanding of CSN5 structure and activity.

description: Mutations cause genetic variations among cells within an individual as well as variations between individuals within a species. It is the fuel for evolution and contributes to most human diseases. Despite its importance, it still remains elusive how mutagenesis and repair shape the mutation pattern in the human genome and how to interpret the impact of a mutation with respect to its ability to cause disease (referred to as pathogenicity). The availability of large-scale genomic data provides us an opportunity to use machine learning methods to answer these questions.
      This thesis is composed of two parts. In the first part, a single statistical model is applied to both mutations in germline and soma to compare the determinant factors that influence local mutation. Notably, our model revealed that one determinant, expression level, has an opposite effect on mutation rate in the two types of tissues. More specifically, somatic mutation rates decrease with expression levels and, in sharp contrast, germline mutation rates increase with expression levels, indicating that the DNA damage or repair processes during transcription differ between them. In the second part, we developed a new neural-network-based machine learning method to predict the pathogenicity of missense variants. Besides predictors commonly used in previous methods, we included additional predictors at the variant-level such as the probability of being in protein-protein interaction interface and gene-level such as dosage sensitivity and protein complex formation probability. To benchmark real-world performance, we compiled somatic mutation data in cancer and germline de novo mutation data in developmental disorders. Our model achieved better performance in prioritizing pathogenic missense variants than previously published methods.
title: Beam-Gas Imaging at the LHCb experiment

description: This thesis presents a new absolute luminosity calibration measurement at the LHCb experiment for pp collsions at √s = 13 TeV measured via the beam-gas imaging (BGI) technique with data acquired in the 2016 luminosity calibration session. The measured reference cross- sections under these conditions for the Track and Vertex counters are σTrack = 65.82 ± 1.14mb and σVertex = 60.00 ± 0.98 mb, respectively. The principle of the BGI technique is set out and the BGI measurements from 2016 are presented alongside beam imaging results from a broader set of run 2 calibration data. The procedure for determining the vertex position resolution from collision data via the split vertex method, a crucial element of a precise BGI measurement, is described and measurements of this resolution are reported. With a precise knowledge of the detector resolution it is possible to accurately measure the LHC beam profiles and parameters on a bunch-by-bunch level from their interactions with gas molecules in the LHCb beam pipe and with each other. This allows for a precise evaluation of the overlap integral, a quantity that is directly proportional to the luminosity produced at a collider. The circulating bunch populations are measured by LHC instrumentation and the results relevant for the calibration measurement are presented. Ghost charge results measured via the BGI technique are reported, including the first such measurements made with the VELO subdetector in its open position and with the first xenon beams circulating in the LHC. The utility of the LHCb measurement as a cross-check on measurements from LHC instrumentation is demonstrated and a novel timing technique making use of the LHCb Outer Tracker is set out. The additional timing information from this subdetector permits the first LHCb measurement of the longitudinal LHC beam profile with a time granularity less than 25 ns. The luminosity calibration cross-section results are then reported and the full range of systematic uncertainties affecting this measurement are evaluated. The reference cross-section for the Track counter, used for the luminosity determination in LHCb physics data, is determined to a precision of 1.73%. Two additional studies that make use of beam-gas interactions at LHCb are also included. The first is a collaborative effort in which a cross-calibration of all existing bunch profile measurement techniques at the LHC was performed. The second looks at possible dynamic vacuum effects due to the movement of the VELO subdetector and relies on a novel vertexing approach making use of the LHCb experiment’s downstream tracking stations. This approach demonstrates a statistically significant pressure increase within the VELO volume due to its movement, at 2.6 standard deviations.

description: Cryptocurrencies are a type of digital money meant to provide security and anonymity while using cryptography techniques. Although cryptocurrencies represent a breakthrough and provide some important benefits, their usage poses some risks that are a result of the lack of supervising institutions and transparency. Because disinformation and volatility is discouraging for personal investors, cryptocurrencies emerged hand-in-hand with the proliferation of online users' communities and forums as places to share information that can alleviate users' mistrust. This research focuses on the study of the interplay between these cryptocurrency forums and fluctuations in cryptocurrency values. In particular, the most popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) and a related active discussion community, Bitcointalk, are analyzed. This study shows that the activity of Bitcointalk forum keeps a direct relationship with the trend in the values of BTC, therefore analysis of this interaction would be a perfect base to support personal investments in a non-regulated market and, to confirm whether cryptocurrency forums show evidences to detect abnormal behaviors in BTC values as well as to predict or estimate these values. The experiment highlights that forum data can explain specific events in the financial field. It also underlines the relevance of quotes (regular mechanism to response a post) at periods: (1) when there is a high concentration of posts around certain topics; (2) when peaks in the BTC price are observed; and, (3) when the BTC price gradually shifts downwards and users intend to sell.

description: We describe the low-energy effective theory of N=1 spontaneously broken supegravity obtained by flux-induced breaking in the presence of n D3 branes. This theory can be obtained by integrating out three massive gravitino multiplets in the hierarchical breaking N=4 to N=3 to N=2 to N=1. This integration also eliminates the IIB complex dilaton. The resulting theory is a no-scale supergravity model, whose moduli are the three chiral multiplets that correspond to the three radii of the three 2-tori in 6-torus, together with the 6n brane coordinates. The U(n) gauge interactions on the branes respect the no-scale structure,and the N=1 goldstino is the fermionic partner of the 6-torus volume.

description: We study the joint probability distribution function of the work and the change of photon number of the nonequilibrium process of driving the electromagnetic (EM) field in a three-dimensional cavity with an oscillating boundary. The system is initially prepared in a grand canonical equilibrium state and we obtain the analytical expressions of the characteristic functions of work distributions in the single-resonance and multiple-resonance conditions. Our study demonstrates the validity of the fluctuation theorems of the grand canonical ensemble in nonequilibrium processes with particle creation and annihilation. In addition, our work illustrates that in the high temperature limit, the work done on the quantized EM field approaches its classical counterpart; while in the low temperature limit, similar to Casimir effect, it differs significantly from its classical counterpart.

description: Memristive neural networks (MNNs), which use memristors as neurons or synapses, have become a hot research topic recently. However, most memristors are not compatible with mainstream integrated circuit technology and their stabilities in large-scale are not very well so far. In this paper, a hardware friendly MNN circuit is introduced, in which the memristive characteristics are implemented by digital integrated circuit. Through this method, spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) and unsupervised learning are realized. A weight sharing mechanism is proposed to bridge the gap of network scale and hardware resource. Experiment results show the hardware resource is significantly saved with it, maintaining good recognition accuracy and high speed. Moreover, the tendency of resource increase is slower than the expansion of network scale, which infers our method's potential on large scale neuromorphic network's realization.

description: The quark-hadron crossover conjecture was proposed as a continuity between hadronic matter and quark matter with no phase transition. It is based on matching of symmetry and excitations in both the phases. It connects hyperon matter and color-flavor locked (CFL) phase of color superconductivity in the limit of light strange quark mass. We study generalization of this conjecture in the presence of topological vortices. We propose a picture where hadronic superfluid vortices in hyperon matter could be connected to non-Abelian vortices (color magnetic flux tubes) in the CFL phase during this crossover. We propose that three hadronic superfluid vortices must join together to three non-Abelian vortices with different color fluxes with the total color magnetic fluxes canceled out, where the junction is called a colorful boojum.

description: Many people struggle to control their use of digital devices. However, our understanding of the design mechanisms that support user self-control remains limited. In this paper, we make two contributions to HCI research in this space: first, we analyse 367 apps and browser extensions from the Google Play, Chrome Web, and Apple App stores to identify common core design features and intervention strategies afforded by current tools for digital self-control. Second, we adapt and apply an integrative dual systems model of self-regulation as a framework for organising and evaluating the design features found. Our analysis aims to help the design of better tools in two ways: (i) by identifying how, through a well-established model of self-regulation, current tools overlap and differ in how they support self-control; and (ii) by using the model to reveal underexplored cognitive mechanisms that could aid the design of new tools.

The impact of transparency on legislative behavior. Taking position avoidance into account:  The case of Chile

description: This dissertation studies the effect of a transparency reform on legislators' behavior. In order to specify how and why the transparency reform would have an impact, it builds a theoretical framework based on a theory of legislative behavior. The expectations are tested against the behavior of the Chilean Lower House legislators before and after a transparency reform. The theoretical expectations derive from a theory of legislative behavior based on reelection-oriented legislators organized in parties. This theoretical framework has two central features. First, position avoidance is taken explicitly into account. Second, from previous work on comparative representation, legislators may establish programmatic and non-programmatic linkages with their constituencies. In line with the literature, legislators who follow a programmatic linkage strategy are expected to adopt positions closer to their electoral constituency. Furthermore, as legislators build such positions from their roll call, I expect that legislators, when cross pressured between their party and their constituency, will be more likely to side with their constituency.  I argue that cross-pressured legislators may also avoid taking a position, as it does not influence observed party unity and does not imply voting against the constituency. Thus, reliance on position avoidance introduces a wedge between the public position taken by legislators and their effective position which has not been previously studied. I tested my hypotheses with observational data of the behavior of the Chilean Lower House members as a transparency reform took place in 2004, halfway through the  legislative term. The case provides additional advantages to empirical assessment of my hypotheses, as legislators are allowed to abstain during any vote, and this option is recorded. The results provide evidence of the complex impact of transparency reform on legislators' behavior. There is some evidence of a positive impact of transparency as it provides incentives for legislators to adopt public positions closer to their electoral constituencies. But the results on the use of position avoidance raise concerns as the observed moderation may partly be the result of obfuscation rather than of improved responsiveness. In particular, the strategic use of abstentions enables legislators to build a moderate reputation without having to support their constituencies´ preferences on all issues.

description: Nowadays, evidence is mounting that the race of living organisms for adaptation to the chemicals synthesized by their neighbours may drive community structures. Particularly, some bacterial infections and plant invasions disruptive of the native community rely on the release of allelochemicals that inhibit or kill sensitive strains or individuals from their own or other species. In this report, an eco-evolutionary model for community assembly through resource competition, allelophatic interactions, and evolutionary branching is presented and studied by numerical analysis. Our major findings are that stable communities with increasing biodiversity can emerge at weak allelopathic suppression, but stronger allelophaty is negatively correlated with community diversity. In the former regime the allelopathic interaction networks exhibit Gaussian degree distributions, while in the later one the network degrees are Weibull distributed.

This variety is connected with the Deligne-Simpson problem and the matrices $M_j$ are interpreted as monodromy operators of regular systems on Riemann's sphere. We consider among others cases when the dimension of the variety is higher than the expected one due to the presence of $(p+1)$-tuples with non-trivial centralizers.

description: Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) is gaining increasing attention in reconfigurable hardware communities due to its capability to represent various abstract levels for software compilers. This project aims to be the first to provide an end-to-end framework that leverages open-source, cross-platform compilation technology to generate MLIR from SYCL. Additionally, it aims to explore a lowering pipeline that converts MLIR to RTL using open-source hardware intermediate representation (IR) and compilers. Furthermore, it aims to couple the generated hardware module with the host CPU using vendor-specific crossbars. Our preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of lowering customized MLIR to RTL, thus paving the way for an end-to-end compilation.

description: As a representative of Hong Kong vernacular residential building, Tong lau has played a significant role in Hong Kong's architectural history. Thus, the buildings' preservation is also crucial. However, due to various factors, the preservation work has encountered many obstacles and difficulties. The thesis hopes to explore the influence of local Cantonese film on the preservation of Hong Kong Tong lau from 1950 to the present. As one of Hong Kong's most crucial entertainment industries, native Cantonese films have a profound impact on shaping Hong Kong's identity and creating a collective memory of the local community. Thus, through film study combined with research on Tong lau's preservation history, the thesis intends to explore how local film managed to impact Tong lau's preservation through the continuous enhancement and shaping of collective memories to strengthen identity, and to enrich the narrative of Tong lau's significance and value. Moreover, by studying the association between Tong lau's historical preservation events and local Cantonese film, the thesis aims to provide support for Tong lau's preservation.

The improviser and the improvised: The relationship between neural and musical structures, and the role of improvisation

description: This paper investigates the intersection of well-formed structures in music with neurocognitive structures and responses in expert musicians. As musicology has explored musical structures to great length, and neuroscience has begun exploring the neural structures that underscore musical experiences, little research has been done to investigate how functional differences in music structure relate to neural structure. As the overwhelming majority of professional performing musicians have regular contact with music structures in applied and theoretical contexts, it is of interest to understand how the functions of these music structures correlate with neurocognitive structures when listening to or performing music. Furthermore, this work aims to explore how experience with improvisation drives the relationship between the function of musical structures and its neural correlates. This work is motivated by the idea that improvising musicians regularly employ techniques to change the prescribed music structure to fit the dynamics of the musical environment. This implies that expert improvising musicians may view the function of musical structures differently from musicians who do not interact with music structure in such a way. As such, an EEG experiment was conducted to investigate this relationship. Forty-one musicians performed an oddball task where they listened to 3-chord chord progressions, responding to any and all oddball chord progressions on a computer keyboard. The middle chord could be an exemplar oddball (an inversion of standard chord) or a functional oddball (a different class from the standard chord). The results found that musicians with more improvisational experience produced a greater response to functional deviants, indicating that improvisation experience plays a role in what category of structural information is more prevalent to the musician. These results were consistent across behavioral and neural measures, which were also correlated with one another. Chapters 1 and 2 provide background on music structure, improvisation, neuroscience, and the intersection of the three. Chapters 3 and 4 explain the experiment and the results. Chapter 5 integrates these results into the larger questions regarding improvisation, creativity research, and considers the pragmatic applications of improvisation training. Finally, this paper proposes another study that addresses deeper questions about neural and music structural correlations.

We propose to employ encoder-decoder neural networks for this task, and introduce proxy tasks and baselines for evaluation to assess their ability of capturing basic game rules and high-level dynamics. By combining convolutional neural networks and recurrent networks, we exploit spatial and sequential correlations and train well-performing models on a large dataset of human games of StarCraft: Brood War. Finally, we demonstrate the relevance of our models to downstream tasks by applying them for enemy unit prediction in a state-of-the-art, rule-based StarCraft bot. We observe improvements in win rates against several strong community bots.

Why Do Students Write letters of recommendations?
Creators: name: Topen, Mark

description: The general purpose of writing a letter of recommendation is to indicate to the reader that you will accompany your unit when they go to war. This is done by informing them why the visit is necessary. If the recipient of the order is not an officer, it is assumed that the government was looking for a means to enable you to meet the deadline. Therefore, every student is requested to write a letter of recommendation with the following details. Your name as directed by the commanding officer. Date of presentation Instructor's address Doing the duties of the respective military tribune When writing the recipients' letter of recommendation, it is advisable to make sure that it is appropriate. However, it is not always possible because it can be difficult for one to know whether a request is proper or not. Below are some of the reasons why the directing officer would like all the eligible candidates to include a letter of recommendation in their application. That the paper be written and sent back promptly; it is a matter of credibility, and it is not suitable to inquire if the candidate attained the required standards before he/she send the document. Having read the applicants’ requirements and understood their needs, one is assured that the best reports will be presented. The only thing that will set apart a topmost worthy report is the most fitting salutation. Where to find Information on letters of recommendation service online suppose you are sending a letter of recommendation, but it does not interest you and the reason being bore. Then again, consider the language used in the communication. For instance, the classified officers must use clear and straightforward English. Avoid using ambiguous words that show a lack of understanding of the pertinent regulations. Get the report formats correctly. After the longogue and theRecommendations, a copy is ready to be examined for grammatical errors and any omissions. Take time and don'tublicize the document. It is a good idea to ask for help whenever there is a need to do so. On the other end, it is considered important to communicate with theTop ranking officer if something is not working out. You are not expected to incur the costs and afterward submit a lower-quality proposal. Still, if the case is not going to be settled, then it is wise for one to ask for assistance. Types of Letters of Recommendations As already mentioned, the highest ranked official receives a regular series of applications. The number of times an individual applies for a particular position is dependent on the competent authority that the instructor has flagged. The requests may be urgent, and it is back to the leader with the relevant instructions. An excellent assistant will work on the orders in a very timely manner to ensure the highest quality possible.

description: The classical and the quantum scattering of two maximally-charged dilaton black holes which have low velocities are studied. We find a critical value for the dilaton coupling, $a^2=1/3$. For $a^2>1/3$, two black holes are always scattered away and never coalesce together, regardless of the value of the impact parameter.

description: We reveal that the universal scaling properties of the chiral phase transition in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the macroscale are, in fact, encoded within the microscopic energy levels of its fundamental constituents, the quarks. We introduce a novel relation between the cumulants of the chiral order parameter, i.e., the chiral condensate, and the correlations among the energy levels of quarks, i.e., the eigenspectra of the massless QCD Dirac operator. This relation elucidates how the fluctuations of the chiral condensate arise from the correlations within the infrared part of the energy spectra of quarks, and naturally leads to a generalization of the Banks-Casher relation for the cumulants of the chiral condensate. Then, through (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD calculations using HISQ action with varying light quark masses around the chiral phase transition temperature, we demonstrate that the correlations among the infrared part of the Dirac eigenvalue spectra exhibit same universal scaling behaviors as expected of the cumulants of the chiral condensate. We find that these universal scaling behaviors extend up to the physical values of the up and down quark masses.

description: The thermodynamic properties of the (2+1)-dimensional non-rotating black hole of Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli are discussed. The first quantum correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is evaluated within the on-shell Euclidean formalism, making use of the related Chern-Simons representation of the 3-dimensional gravity. Horizon and ultraviolet divergences in the quantum correction are dealt with a renormalization of the Newton constant. It is argued that the quantum correction due to the gravitational field shrinks the effective radius of a hole and becomes more and more important as soon as the evaporation process goes on, while the area law is not violated.

description: The AdS/dCFT correspondence is used to show that a planar q-dimensional superconformal CFT defect expands, under the addition of electric charge and angular momentum, to a supersymmetric higher-dimensional defect of geometry R^q x C, where C is an arbitrary curve. The dual string theory process is the expansion of D-branes and fundamental strings into a supertube in an AdS background.

The influence of the built environment on walking among urban, community-dwelling older adults in the United States: A systematic review and thematic synthesis

description: Background and Purpose: Driven by changing demographics, cultural shifts, and improvements in healthcare, the older adult population (≥65 years) in the United States (U.S.) is growing at a rapid and unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, the U.S, is becoming increasingly urbanized, with projections indicating that 87% of the U.S. population will live in urban centers by 2050. The convergence of an urbanizing and aging population necessitates a focus on aligning the urban environment with the needs of older adults. Among these needs is continued physical activity (PA) throughout older adulthood, yet despite the numerous physical, mental, and social benefits, the majority of older adults fail to meet recommended PA guidelines. Objectives: To investigate the influence of the outdoor built environment on walking behaviors among urban, community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) in the U.S. and to analyze results with reference to implications for designing and improving communities to support active living for this population. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Eight databases were searched for articles published 2011-2016 using search terms related to features of built environment, older adults, and walking. A total of 3254 abstracts were reviewed for eligibility, of which 17 studies fit all inclusion criteria. The final study set underwent quality appraisal, followed by data extraction, analysis, and thematic synthesis. Results: Findings suggest that older adults engage in PA for two primary purposes, leisure or transport, and that unique aspects of the built environment support or act as a barrier to each type of walking. Macroscale components of walkability (e.g., land use mix, street connectivity, and population density) were consistently and positively associated with transport walking, whereas microscale elements, such as aesthetics, pedestrian infrastructure, and crossing characteristics, were more commonly associated with leisure walking. Conclusions: Results support multiple associations between the built environment and walking behavior among older adults. This review furthers the current evidence regarding how macro and microscale features of the built environment can act upon older adults to support or discourage walking. While this area of research is growing, numerous gaps in the literature were identified. Future research is needed to improve the generalizability of findings to better inform future interventions and policies that support this population.
Low temperature properties in the Bilayer Kitaev model

description: The ground state of the bilayer Kitaev model with the Heisenberg-type interlayer exchange interaction is investigated by means of the exact diagonalization. Calculating the ground-state energy, local quantity defined on each plaquette, and dynamical spin structure factor, we obtain results suggesting the existence of a quantum phase transition between the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) and dimer singlet states when the interlayer coupling is antiferromagnetic. On the other hand, increasing the ferromagnetic interlayer coupling, there exists no singularity in the physical quantities, suggesting that the $S=1/2$ Kitaev QSL state realized in each layer adiabatically connects to another QSL state realized in the $S=1$ Kitaev model. Thermodynamic properties are also studied by means of the thermal pure quantum state method.

description: Using learning analytics to investigate and support collaborative learning has been explored for many years. Recently, automated approaches with various artificial intelligence approaches have provided promising results for modelling and predicting student engagement and performance in collaborative learning tasks. However, due to the lack of transparency and interpretability caused by the use of "black box" approaches in learning analytics design and implementation, guidance for teaching and learning practice may become a challenge. On the one hand, the black box created by machine learning algorithms and models prevents users from obtaining educationally meaningful learning and teaching suggestions. On the other hand, focusing on group and cohort level analysis only can make it difficult to provide specific support for individual students working in collaborative groups. This paper proposes a transparent approach to automatically detect student's individual engagement in the process of collaboration. The results show that the proposed approach can reflect student's individual engagement and can be used as an indicator to distinguish students with different collaborative learning challenges (cognitive, behavioural and emotional) and learning outcomes. The potential of the proposed collaboration analytics approach for scaffolding collaborative learning practice in face-to-face contexts is discussed and future research suggestions are provided.

description: A discrete stochastic process involving random amplification with additive noise is studied analytically. If the non-negative random amplification factor $b$ is such that $=1$ where $β$ is any positive non-integer, then the steady state probability density function for the process will have power law tails of the form $p(x) \sim 1/x^{β+1}$. This is a generalization of recent results for $0 < β< 2$ obtained by Takayasu et al. in Phys. Rev. lett. 79, 966 (1997). It is shown that the power spectrum of the time series $x$ becomes Lorentzian, even when $1 < β< 2$, i.e., in case of divergent variance.
