Plasmodium falciparum lipid metabolism as a target for malaria intervention strategies
Creators: name: Fraser, Merryn
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Malaria remains the deadliest parasitic disease in the world despite years of sustained effort, new drug development, and a greater understanding of the causative parasite, Plasmodium, and its interactions with its host. The resistance of Plasmodium parasites to frontline drug treatments is driving an increase in deaths from malaria, underscoring the need for new therapeutics. Lipid metabolism is essential for parasite survival, and presents many opportunities for exploitation as a drug target. This thesis examines multiple aspects of Plasmodium lipid metabolism to expose weaknesses that could be exploited as drug targets. The research presented here explores phospholipid metabolism in parasitised erythrocytes, focusing on asymmetry of particular phospholipids in the membrane. Prior studies in this area have found conflicting results, so a meta-analysis of these previously published studies was conducted to investigate sources of contradiction and identify knowledge gaps for subsequent experiments. Based on this meta-analysis, experiments were performed examining a series of interconnected biological processes, including lipid and calcium sequestration, the activity of lipid-translocating enzymes in the host erythrocyte membrane, the distribution of phospholipids, and the subsequent lipid-mediated effects on interaction with host immune cells such as monocytes. Several key processes were identified as potential drug targets, and treatment with a proof-of-concept compound resulted in greater phagocytosis of parasitised erythrocytes. This thesis also explores cholesterol metabolism in parasitised erythrocytes, and the development of a drug delivery strategy that increases the effectiveness of inhibitory compounds against parasites whilst reducing toxicity to host cells. This strategy was effective against multiple stages of Plasmodium (liver, asexual blood stage, and gametocytes), against drug resistant parasites, and against species of closely related parasites. Cumulatively, the findings described here contribute to our understanding of Plasmodium lipid biology and emphasise the potential to exploit the parasite's dependence on lipids as a novel drug target.

description: The hedge on the horizon, a familiar feature on the road out from Countess Wear to the M5 interchange at Sandy Gate, is an unremarkable feature of modern Exeter.

In 11th-century charters it is called an 'old dyke' so it may be presumed to be more than 1000 years old - perhaps centuries older.

Consideration of success probability and performance optimization in non-Gaussian continuous variable quantum teleportation

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Non-Gaussian operations have been shown to enhance the fidelity of continuous variable quantum teleportation. However, a disadvantage of these non-Gaussian operations is that they are probabilistic in nature. In this article, we study the trade-off between teleportation fidelity and success probability for optimal performance of the teleportation protocol, which to the best of our knowledge, has never been studied before. To this end, we first derive a unified expression for the Wigner characteristic function describing three non-Gaussian states, photon subtracted, photon added, and photon catalyzed two-mode squeezed vacuum states. We then utilize it to obtain the fidelity of teleportation for input coherent and squeezed vacuum states using the aforementioned non-Gaussian resource states. We optimize the product of the relative enhancement in fidelity and the probability of state preparation by tuning the transmissivity of the beam splitters involved in implementing non-Gaussian operations. This leads to a scenario that can be effectively implemented in a lab to enhance fidelity. It turns out that among all the considered non-Gaussian resource states, the symmetric one-photon subtracted TMSV state is the most advantageous. We provide the associated optimal squeezing and beam splitter transmissivity values for the considered non-Gaussian resource states, which will be of significant interest to the experimental community. We also consider the effect of imperfect photon detectors on teleportation fidelity. Further, we expect the derived Wigner characteristic function to be useful in state characterization and other quantum information processing protocols.

description: Big data processing at the production scale presents a highly complex environment for resource optimization (RO), a problem crucial for meeting performance goals and budgetary constraints of analytical users. The RO problem is challenging because it involves a set of decisions (the partition count, placement of parallel instances on machines, and resource allocation to each instance), requires multi-objective optimization (MOO), and is compounded by the scale and complexity of big data systems while having to meet stringent time constraints for scheduling. This paper presents a MaxCompute-based integrated system to support multi-objective resource optimization via fine-grained instance-level modeling and optimization. We propose a new architecture that breaks RO into a series of simpler problems, new fine-grained predictive models, and novel optimization methods that exploit these models to make effective instance-level recommendations in a hierarchical MOO framework. Evaluation using production workloads shows that our new RO system could reduce 37-72% latency and 43-78% cost at the same time, compared to the current optimizer and scheduler, while running in 0.02-0.23s.

description: Observations of the southeastern U.S. Atlantic mid-shelf and deepwater reef fish fisheries (NC through Florida) began in 2007 (Helies and Jamison, 2013). This work was done through the Gulf & South Atlantic Fisheries Foundation soliciting fishing vessels and captains to participate in voluntary observer coverage. The objective was to characterize catch and discards within the snapper-grouper vertical hook-and-line fishery. This approach, while cooperative and inclusive, introduced spatial and temporal sampling biases and did not collect biological samples which are essential to determine life history parameters of exploited reef associated and coastal pelagic fishes. In 2013, a Marine Fisheries Initiative (MARFIN) grant, initiated mandatory placement of fisheries observers in the southeastern U.S. Atlantic mid-shelf and deepwater reef fish fisheries with an overall target of 62 sea days. Currently about 544 fishers possess the South Atlantic unlimited snapper/grouper permit, and an additional 110 fishers are permitted to land up to 225 lbs. incidentally. Herein, we report on fishing activities collected by on-board observers from south Atlantic mid-shelf and deepwater reef fish fisheries from February 2014 through January 2015.

Transportation on spheres via an entropy formula

subject: 60E15, 58C35

description: The paper proves transportation inequalities for probability measures on spheres for the Wasserstein metrics with respect to cost functions that are powers of the geodesic distance. Let $μ$ be a probability measure on the sphere ${\bf S}^n$ of the form $dμ=e^{-U(x)}dx$ where $dx$ is the rotation invariant probability measure, and $(n-1)I+{\hbox{Hess}}\,U\geq {κ_U}I$, where $κ_U>0$. Then any probability measure $ν$ of finite relative entropy with respect to $μ$ satisfies ${\hbox{Ent}}(ν\midμ) \geq (κ_U/2)W_2(ν, μ)^2$. The proof uses an explicit formula for the relative entropy which is also valid on connected and compact $C^\infty$ smooth Riemannian manifolds without boundary. A variation of this entropy formula gives the Lichnérowicz integral.

description: The church of All Saints at Old Byland dates to the late Saxon period. Most of the present church was rebuilt during the Norman period, but the stonework in the exterior of the chancel suggests that once the roof was lower and this implies that parts of the building are likely to be pre-Norman. Furthermore, a late Saxon doorway (now filled in) in the exterior of the chancel also suggests that an earlier church existed on this site before the Norman rebuilding. In the 1130s when the Byland monks, originally based at Calder in Cumbria were driven out by the Scots, they were provided lands at Old Byland. The church at Old Byland remained in the hands of Byland Abbey afterwards.
Modified defect relation of Gauss maps on annular ends of minimal surfaces for hypersurfaces of projective varieties in subgeneral position

description: Let $A$ be an annular end of a complete minimal surface $S$ in $\mathbb R^m$ and let $V$ be a $k$-dimension projective subvariety of $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)\ (n=m-1)$. Let $g$ be the generalized Gauss map of $S$ into $V\subset\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)$. In this paper, we establish a modified defect relation of $g$ on the annular end $A$ for $q$ hypersurfaces $\{Q_i\}_{i=1}^q$ of $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)$ in $N$-subgeneral position with respect to $V$. Our result implies that the image $g(A)$ cannot omit all $q$ hypersurfaces $Q_1,\ldots,Q_q$ if $g$ is nondegenerate over $I_d(V)$ and $q>\frac{(2N-k+1)(M+1)(M+2d)}{2d(k+1)}$, where $M=H_V(d)-1$ and $d$ is the least of common multiple of $°Q_1,\ldots,°Q_q$. As our best knowledge, it is the first time the value distribution of the Gauss map on an annular end of a minimal surfaces with hypersurface targets is studied, in particular the product into sum inequality for holomorphic curves on Riemann surfaces with hypersurfaces targets is presented. This our result has been used to study the unicity of the gauss maps in the recent work of C. Lu and X. Chen [14].

description: The role of coalgebras as well as algebraic groups in non-commutative probability has long been advocated by the school of von Waldenfels and Schürmann. Another algebraic approach was introduced more recently, based on shuffle and pre-Lie calculus, and results in another construction of groups of characters encoding the behaviour of states. Comparing the two, the first approach, recast recently in a general categorical language by Manzel and Schürmann, can be seen as largely driven by the theory of universal products, whereas the second construction builds on Hopf algebras and a suitable algebraization of the combinatorics of noncrossing set partitions. Although both address the same phenomena, moving between the two viewpoints is not obvious. We present here an attempt to unify the two approaches by making explicit the Hopf algebraic connections between them. Our presentation, although relying largely on classical ideas as well as results closely related to Manzel and Schürmann's aforementioned work, is nevertheless original on several points and fills a gap in the non-commutative probability literature. In particular, we systematically use the language and techniques of algebraic groups together with shuffle group techniques to prove that two notions of algebraic groups naturally associated with free, respectively Boolean and monotone, probability theories identify. We also obtain explicit formulas for various Hopf algebraic structures and detail arguments that had been left implicit in the literature.

Sentence Boundary Detection for Multilingulal Legal Text
Creators: name: Brugger, Tobias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Sentence Boundary Detection (SBD) is one of the foundational building blocks of Natural Language Processing (NLP), with incorrectly split sentences heavily influencing the output quality of downstream tasks. It is a challenging task for algorithms, especially in the legal domain, considering the complex and different sentence structures used. In this work, we curated a diverse multilingual legal dataset consisting of over 130’000 annotated sentences in 6 languages. Our expericmental results show that the performance of existing SBD models is subpar on multilingual legal data. We trained and tested monolingual and multilingual models based on CRF, BiLSTM-CRF, and transformers, demonstrating state-of-the art performance. We also show that our multilingual models outperform all baselines in the zero-shot setting on a Portuguese test set. For further use and research by the community, we publicly release our dataset, models, and code.

description: The rise in the incidence of COVID-19 as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection has threatened public health globally. Till now, there have been no proper prophylactics available to fight COVID-19, necessitating the advancement and evolution of effective curative against SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed at the nonstructural protein 13 (nsp13) helicase as a promising target for drug development against COVID-19. A unique collection of nucleoside analogs was screened against the SARS-CoV-2 helicase protein, for which a molecular docking experiment was executed to depict the selected ligand’s binding affinity with the SARS-CoV-2 helicase proteins. Simultaneously, molecular dynamic simulations were performed to examine the protein’s binding site’s conformational stability, flexibility, and interaction with the ligands. Key nucleoside ligands were selected for pharmacokinetic analysis based on their docking scores. Selected ligands (cordycepin and pritelivir) showed excellent pharmacokinetics and were well stabilized at the proteins’ binding site throughout the MD simulation. We have also performed binding free energy analysis or the binding characteristics of ligands with Nsp13 by using MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA. Free energy calculation by MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA analysis suggests that pritelivir may work as viable therapeutics for efficient drug advancement against SARS-CoV-2 Nsp13 helicase, potentially arresting the SARS-CoV-2 replication.

From then, their method has led to several algorithms, some of them being implemented in computer algebra systems. The usual proofs often rely on abstract concepts of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. In this paper we present a short self-contained and elementary proof that mostly needs Newton polygons, Hensel lifting, bivariate resultants, and Chinese remaindering.

Ultra-broadband integrated optical filters based on adiabatic optimization of coupled waveguides

description: Broadband spectral filters are highly sought-after in many integrated photonics applications such as ultra-broadband wavelength division multiplexing, multi-band spectroscopy, and broadband sensing. In this study, we present the design, simulation, and experimental demonstration of compact and ultra-broadband silicon photonic filters with adiabatic waveguides. We first develop an optimization algorithm for coupled adiabatic waveguide structures, and use it to design individual, single-cutoff spectral filters. These single-cutoff filters are 1x2 port devices that optimally separate a broadband signal into short-pass and long-pass outputs, within a specified device length. We control the power roll-off and extinction ratio in these filters using the adiabaticity parameter. Both outputs of the filters operate in transmission, making it possible to cascade multiple filters in different configurations. Taking advantage of this flexibility, we cascade two filters with different cutoff wavelengths on-chip, and experimentally demonstrate band-pass operation. The independent and flexible design of these band edges enables filters with bandwidths well over 100 nm. Experimentally, we demonstrate band-pass filters with passbands ranging from 6.4 nm up to 96.6 nm. Our devices achieve flat-band transmission in all three of the short-pass, band-pass, and long-pass outputs with less than 1.5 dB insertion loss and extinction ratios of over 15 dB. These ultra-broadband filters can enable new capabilities for multi-band integrated photonics in communications, spectroscopy, and sensing applications.

description: The majority of real-world processes are spatiotemporal, and the data generated by them exhibits both spatial and temporal evolution. Weather is one of the most essential processes in this domain, and weather forecasting has become a crucial part of our daily routine. Weather data analysis is considered the most complex and challenging task. Although numerical weather prediction models are currently state-of-the-art, they are resource-intensive and time-consuming. Numerous studies have proposed time series-based models as a viable alternative to numerical forecasts. Recent research in the area of time series analysis indicates significant advancements, particularly regarding the use of state-space-based models (white box) and, more recently, the integration of machine learning and deep neural network-based models (black box). The most famous examples of such models are RNNs and transformers. These models have demonstrated remarkable results in the field of time-series analysis and have demonstrated effectiveness in modelling temporal correlations. It is crucial to capture both temporal and spatial correlations for a spatiotemporal process, as the values at nearby locations and time affect the values of a spatiotemporal process at a specific point. This self-contained paper explores various regional data-driven weather forecasting methods, i.e., forecasting over multiple latitude-longitude points (matrix-shaped spatial grid) to capture spatiotemporal correlations. The results showed that spatiotemporal prediction models reduced computational costs while improving accuracy. In particular, the proposed tensor train dynamic mode decomposition-based forecasting model has comparable accuracy to the state-of-the-art models without the need for training. We provide convincing numerical experiments to show that the proposed approach is practical.

description: We study a class of SU(N) Wigner 6j symbols involving two fundamental representations, and derive explicit formulae for all 6j symbols in this class. Our formulae express the 6j symbols in terms of the dimensions of the involved representations, and they are thereby functions of N. We view these explicit formulae as a first step towards efficiently decomposing SU(N) color structures in terms of group invariants.

description: We propose a method to accelerate the joint process of physically acquiring and learning neural Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) models. While BRDF learning alone can be accelerated by meta-learning, acquisition remains slow as it relies on a mechanical process. We show that meta-learning can be extended to optimize the physical sampling pattern, too. After our method has been meta-trained for a set of fully-sampled BRDFs, it is able to quickly train on new BRDFs with up to five orders of magnitude fewer physical acquisition samples at similar quality. Our approach also extends to other linear and non-linear BRDF models, which we show in an extensive evaluation.

Late Saxon Cross Shaft from Exeter

Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2022
Subjects: Archaeology

description: The granite shaft is decorated with simple interlaced patterns, broadly datable to the 10th or 11th centuries. It would formerly have been surmounted by a head in the form of a cross. Six such cross-shafts survive in Devon, the others being at Colyton, Copplestone, Dolton, Sidbury and Chulmleigh. The shaft's original site is not firmly known, but it may by the 'Toisa's Cross' (St Osyth's Cross), which stood outside the West Gate in the middle ages. It was found re-used in the fabric of old Exe Bridge in 1778, then served as a bollard protecting one corner of a house at the junction of High Street and Gandy Street, moved to St Nicholas Priory in 1911 and indoors to our museum in 1991.

description: Radiotherapy with heavy ions, in particular, 12C beams, is one of the most advanced forms of cancer treatment. Sharp dose gradients and high biological effectiveness in the target region make them an ideal tool to treat deep-seated and radioresistant tumors, however, at the same time, sensitive to small errors in the range prediction. Safety margins are added to the tumor volume to mitigate these uncertainties and ensure its uniform coverage, but during the irradiation they lead to unavoidable damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. To fully exploit the benefits of a sharp Bragg peak, a large effort is put into establishing precise range verification methods for the so-called image-guided radiotherapy. Despite positron emission tomography being widely in use for this purpose in 12C ion therapy, the low count rates, biological washout, and broad shape of the activity distribution still limit its precision to a few millimeters. Instead, radioactive beams used directly for treatment would yield an improved signal and a closer match with the dose fall-off, potentially enabling precise in vivo beam range monitoring. We have performed a treatment planning study to estimate the possible impact of the reduced range uncertainties, enabled by radioactive 11C beams treatments, on sparing critical organs in the tumor proximity. We demonstrate that (i) annihilation maps for 11C ions can in principle reflect even millimeter shifts in dose distributions in the patient, (ii) outcomes of treatment planning with 11C beams are significantly improved in terms of meeting the constraints for the organs at risk compared to 12C plans, and (iii) less severe toxicities for serial and parallel critical organs can be expected following 11C treatment with reduced range uncertainties, compared to 12C treatments.

description: The outcome of the United Nations Conference in Istanbul in 1996 was the Habitat Agenda, a global action plan for the sustainable development of human settlements.

In 2001, a plenary assembly was held at the United Nations in order to verify its effectiveness and implementation status all over the world.

Then, in 2002, the Habitat Agenda was published also in Italian by the Department of Architectural and Environmental Heritage Conservation in the book entitled Habitat Agenda/Agenda Habitat. Verso la sostenibilità urbana e territoriale, describing some experiences concretely realized.

Today the Habitat Agenda needs to be updated because it could not predict the extraordinary changes occurred over the latest 20 years.

Increasingly, the wealth of a country/region is represented by the wealth produced in its cities. However, cities are also major generators of entropy: they are the most significant source of pollution/environmental degradation, climate destabilization, etc., that adversely affect the health and the economic conditions, too. It represents a source of significant waste of resources and dissipation of wealth: an economic damage that, in the current conditions of crisis, is not affordable.

The starting point of the new urban regeneration strategies is the intertwine with the environmental strategies and with the regeneration of local economy ones.
