description: State Space Models (SSMs) are powerful tools for modeling sequential data in computer vision and time series analysis domains. However, traditional SSMs are limited by fixed, one-dimensional sequential processing, which restricts their ability to model non-local interactions in high-dimensional data. While methods like Mamba and VMamba introduce selective and flexible scanning strategies, they rely on predetermined paths, which fails to efficiently capture complex dependencies. We introduce Graph-Generating State Space Models (GG-SSMs), a novel framework that overcomes these limitations by dynamically constructing graphs based on feature relationships. Using Chazelle's Minimum Spanning Tree algorithm, GG-SSMs adapt to the inherent data structure, enabling robust feature propagation across dynamically generated graphs and efficiently modeling complex dependencies. We validate GG-SSMs on 11 diverse datasets, including event-based eye-tracking, ImageNet classification, optical flow estimation, and six time series datasets. GG-SSMs achieve state-of-the-art performance across all tasks, surpassing existing methods by significant margins. Specifically, GG-SSM attains a top-1 accuracy of 84.9% on ImageNet, outperforming prior SSMs by 1%, reducing the KITTI-15 error rate to 2.77%, and improving eye-tracking detection rates by up to 0.33% with fewer parameters. These results demonstrate that dynamic scanning based on feature relationships significantly improves SSMs' representational power and efficiency, offering a versatile tool for various applications in computer vision and beyond.

description: The spatiotemporal structure of reactive media supporting a solitary spiral wave is studied for systems where the local reaction law exhibits a period-doubling cascade to chaos. This structure is considerably more complex than that of simple period-1 oscillatory media. As one moves from the core of the spiral wave the local dynamics takes the form of perturbed period-doubled orbits whose character varies with spatial location relative to the core. An important feature of these media is the existence of a curve where the local dynamics is effectively period-1. This curve arises as a consequence of the necessity to reconcile the conflict between the global topological organization of the medium induced by the presence of a spiral wave and the topological phase space structure of local orbits determined by the reaction rate law. Due to their general topological nature, the phenomena described here should be observable in a broad class of systems with complex periodic behavior.

description: We study a recently identified four-loop Feynman integral that contains a three-dimensional Calabi-Yau geometry and contributes to the scattering of black holes in classical gravity at fifth post-Minkowskian and second self-force order (5PM 2SF) in the conservative sector. In contrast to previously studied Calabi-Yau Feynman integrals, the higher-order differential equation that this integral satisfies in dimensional regularization exhibits $\varepsilon$-dependent apparent singularities. We introduce an appropriate ansatz which allows us to bring such cases into an $\varepsilon$-factorized form. As a proof of principle, we apply it to the integral at hand.

description: Darboux transformation is reconsidered for the supersymmetric KdV system. By iterating the Darboux transformation, a supersymmetric extension of the Crum transformation is obtained for the Manin-Radul SKdV equation, in doing so one gets Wronskian superdeterminant representations for the solutions. Particular examples provide us explicit supersymmetric extensions, super solitons, of the standard soliton of the KdV equation. The KdV soliton appears as the body of the super soliton.

description: We study solutions of the equations $(\triangle -λ)ϕ= 0$ and $(\triangle -λ)^2ϕ= 0$ in global coordinates on the covering space $CAdS_d$ of the $d$-dimensional Anti de-Sitter space subject to various boundary conditions and their connection to the unitary irreducible representations of $\widetilde{SO}(d-1,2)$. The ``vanishing flux'' boundary conditions at spatial infinity lead to the standard quantization scheme for $CAdS_d$ in which solutions of the second- and the fourth-order equations are equivalent. To include fields realizing the singleton unitary representation in the bulk of $CAdS_d$ one has to relax the boundary conditions thus allowing for the nontrivial space of solutions of the dipole equation known as the Gupta - Bleuler triplet. We obtain explicit expressions for the modes of the Gupta - Bleuler triplet and the corresponding two-point function. To avoid negative-energy states one must also introduce an additional constraint in the space of solutions of the dipole equation.

description: A detailed understanding of quantization conductance (QC), their correlation with resistive switching phenomena and controlled manipulation of quantized states is crucial for realizing atomic-scale multilevel memory elements. Here, we demonstrate highly stable and reproducible quantized conductance states (QC-states) in Al/Niobium oxide/Pt resistive switching devices. Three levels of control over the QC-states, required for multilevel quantized state memories, like, switching ON to different quantized states, switching OFF from quantized states, and controlled inter-state switching among one QC states to another has been demonstrated by imposing limiting conditions of stop-voltage and current compliance. The well defined multiple QC-states along with a working principle for switching among various states show promise for implementation of multilevel memory devices.

We will say that point $x \in \partial U$ is {\it accessible} from $U$ if there exists continuous injective mapping $ϕ: I \to \Cl D$ such that $ϕ(1)=x$, $ϕ([0,1)) \subset \Int U$. We proove the next main theorem. The following conditions are neccesary and suffficient for a compact subset $D$ of $R^2$ with a nonempty interior $\Int D$ to be homeomorphic to a closed 2-dimensional disk: 1) sets $\Int D$ and $R^2 \setminus D$ are connected; 2) any $x \in \partial D$ is accessible both from $\Int D$ and from $R^2 \setminus D$.

description: PROPOSAL OF LATILACTOBACILLUS FRAGIFOLII SP. NOV.
 On the basis of the low ANI to the closest type strain of a known species, isolate AMBP162 T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Latilactobacillus, for which the name Latilactobacillus fragifolii sp. nov. is proposed. Twelve other isolates (AMBP158, AMBP159, AMBP163, AMBP229, AMBP231, AMBP240, AMBP241, AMBP243, AMBP252, AMBP253, AMBP254, AMBP256), which were isolated from the same sample and have high similarity to AMBP162 T for the 16S rRNA gene and rpoA gene (99.9 and 98.4%, respectively), are considered to belong to the new species as well.
 Furthermore, strain AMBP162 T can be discriminated from the type strains of L. graminis and L. curvatus based on its ability to ferment arabinose and sucrose, and the ability to produce catalase when haem and menaquinone are present in the growth medium.

description: Vitamin D (VD) is produced by the skin upon exposure to sunlight or is obtained from dietary sources. Several risk factors are associated with VD deficiency including mutations and post-translational modifications in its transport protein known as vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) or GC-globulin. The two common single nucleotide polymorphisms rs7041 and rs4588 create three major isoforms of VDBP, including GC-1F also called wild type, GC1S, and GC-2. The 3D models for both GC-1F and GC-2 were constructed in their glycosylated states to decipher the effect of these mutations on the overall conformational changes and VD-binding affinity. The binding affinities were estimated using the Molecular Mechanics Poison-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method and conformational changes were investigated after free energy landscapes estimations. Total free energies suggest that GC-1F exhibits stronger affinity (ΔE = −116.09 kJ/mol) than GC-2 (ΔE = −95 kJ/mol) variant with VD. The GC-1F isoforms had more streamlined motion compared to GC-2 isoforms, predicting a trade-off between cross-talk residues that significantly impacts protein structural stability. The data suggest that glycation at Thr418 plays a vital role in the overall VDBP-VD affinity by stabilizing the N-T loop that holds the domain I (VD-pocket) and domain III intact. The loss of glycation in GC-2 has a pivotal role in the inter-domain conformational stability of VDBP, which may ultimately affect VD transportation and maturation. These findings describe a novel mechanism in how mutations distant from the VD-active site change the overall conformational of the VDBP and abrogate the VDBP-VD interaction.

description: With the advancement of the field of underwater robotics, the amount of autonomy embodied in the vehicles themselves have considerably increased while making it possible to build and deploy swarms of small autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Apart from the many environ- mental and mechanical challenges encountered in the underwater domain, the swarming paradigm demands the need for each vehicle to be aware of the positions of at least its near neighbours. The Serafina AUV project which was initiated with the goal of developing swarming technology for the small and highly agile Serafina class AUVs requires a localisation system which could cope with the dynamic and fast changing vehicle configurations while being small, reliable, robust, and energy efficient and not dependent on pre-deployed acoustic beacons. The acoustical relative localisation system proposed here uses hyperbolic and spherical localisation concepts and provides each vehicle with the azimuth, range and heading of its near neighbours. The implementation utilises an acoustically transmitted maximum length sequence (MLS) signal which provides extremely high robustness against interference by stochastic and systematic disturbances which are typical for underwater environments. The azimuth is obtained via hyperbolic positioning with improved resolution and accuracy with respect to conventional methods. Range and heading estimation is performed utilising two independent methods for increased robustness. The first method uses the implicit synchronisation provided by the underlying inter-vehicle communication scheduling system to measure the difference in time of arrival of the acoustic and long-wave radio signals to estimate the time of flight (TOF) of the acoustic signal and hence measure range. The second method relies on multiple time differences of arrival (TDOA) and a reverse hyperbolic localisation scheme to measure range without any explicit knowledge of the sending times of the acoustic signals. The localisation system performance with regard to accuracy, precision and robustness against interference is experimentally evaluated. Results of experiments conducted at a test tank as well as those obtained during open water lake experiments are presented along with detailed analyses of the behaviour of the errors associated with the measurements.

description: Ariel has been selected as ESA's M4 mission for launch in 2028 and is designed for the characterisation of a large and diverse population of exoplanetary atmospheres to provide insights into planetary formation and evolution within our Galaxy. Here we present a study of Ariel's capability to observe currently-known exoplanets and predicted TESS discoveries. We use the Ariel Radiometric model (ArielRad) to simulate the instrument performance and find that ~2000 of these planets have atmospheric signals which could be characterised by Ariel. This list of potential planets contains a diverse range of planetary and stellar parameters. From these we select an example Mission Reference Sample (MRS), comprised of 1000 diverse planets to be completed within the primary mission life, which is consistent with previous studies. We also explore the mission capability to perform an in-depth survey into the atmospheres of smaller planets, which may be enriched or secondary. Earth-sized planets and Super-Earths with atmospheres heavier than H/He will be more challenging to observe spectroscopically. However, by studying the time required to observe ~110 Earth-sized/Super-Earths, we find that Ariel could have substantial capability for providing in-depth observations of smaller planets. Trade-offs between the number and type of planets observed will form a key part of the selection process and this list of planets will continually evolve with new exoplanet discoveries replacing predicted detections. The Ariel target list will be constantly updated and the MRS re-selected to ensure maximum diversity in the population of planets studied during the primary mission life.
An Assumption-Free Exact Test For Fixed-Design Linear Models With Exchangeable Errors

Year: 2019

description: We propose the Cyclic Permutation Test (CPT) to test general linear hypotheses for linear models. This test is non-randomized and valid in finite samples with exact Type I error $α$ for an arbitrary fixed design matrix and arbitrary exchangeable errors, whenever $1 / α$ is an integer and $n / p \ge 1 / α- 1$. The test involves applying the marginal rank test to $1 / α$ linear statistics of the outcome vector, where the coefficient vectors are determined by solving a linear system such that the joint distribution of the linear statistics is invariant with respect to a non-standard cyclic permutation group under the null hypothesis.The power can be further enhanced by solving a secondary non-linear travelling salesman problem, for which the genetic algorithm can find a reasonably good solution. Extensive simulation studies show that the CPT has comparable power to existing tests. When testing for a single contrast of coefficients, an exact confidence interval can be obtained by inverting the test. Furthermore, we provide a selective yet extensive literature review of the century-long efforts on this problem, highlighting the novelty of our test.

Kernels: Regularization and Optimization

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: machine learning, kernel methods

description: This thesis extends the paradigm of machine learning with kernels. This paradigm is based on the idea of generalizing an inner product between vectors to a similarity measure between objects. The kernel implicitly defines a feature mapping between the space of objects and the space of functions, called the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. There have been many successful applications of positive semidefinite kernels in diverse fields. Among the reasons for its success are a theoretically motivated regularization method and efficient algorithms for optimizing the resulting problems. Since the kernel has to effectively capture the domain knowledge in an application, we study the problem of learning the kernel itself from training data. The proposed solution is a kernel on the space of kernels itself, which we called a hyperkernel. This provides a method for regularization via the norm of the kernel. We show that for several machine learning tasks, such as binary classification, regression and novelty detection, the resulting optimization problem is a semidefinite program. We solve the corresponding optimization problems using the same parameter settings across all problems, and demonstrate that we have further automated machine learning methods. We observe that the restriction for kernels to be positive semidefinite can be removed. The non-positive kernels, called indefinite kernels, have corresponding functional theory, and define reproducing kernel Kre˘ın spaces. We derive machine learning problems with indefinite kernels and prove the representer theorem as well as generalization error bounds. We provide theoretical and experimental evidence to support the idea of regularization by early stopping of conjugate gradient type algorithms. Conjugate gradient type algorithms are iterative methods that generate solutions in Krylov subspaces, and exhibit semi-convergence. We analyse the sequence of Krylov subspaces that determine the associated filter function on the spectrum of the inverse problem, and quantitatively investigate semi-convergence. These algorithms are then used for machine learning with indefinite kernels.

description: This thesis concerns the acquisition of Italian as a second language in instructed adult and child learners within the framework of Processability Theory (Pienemann 1998) with particular reference to morphological and syntactic development. It also contains some contributions to an extension of the theory itself, particularly the development of syntax, leading to a new exploration of the interface between discourse-pragmatics and syntax in L2 learners. The empirical longitudinal and cross-sectional studies on which these papers are based support Processability Theory’s universal developmental implicational hierarchy based on the hypothesised processing procedures in Levelt (1989). The second part of the thesis investigates the development of Italian L2 in primary school programs, testing both PT and Focus-on-form instruction. This study demonstrates that PT can be applied to classroom contexts and that it promotes more efficient language development in child-learners within existing school Italian L2 program time and resources constraints. This work also revealed that focused feedback is effective in promoting acquisition and accuracy in L2 production. This classroom- based quasi-experimental longitudinal study was supported by the Australian Research Council and Industry partner CoAsIt, a provider of Italian language education services. This work on researching practice shows the critical interrelation between theory construction and the investigation of practice itself. A sample of my contributions to professional journals exemplify the need for a continuing dialogue between research and professional practice.

description: L’attività teatrale di Felice Cavallotti è stata spesso considerata un frutto episodico di un’intelligenza eclettica, ma pur sempre dedita soprattutto alla politica e all’impegno sociale. Fra i biografi e gli studiosi che si sono occupati di Cavallotti, pochi hanno dato notizia del costante interesse e dell’assiduo lavoro svolto dall’autore per le scene, riproducendo non di rado giudizi imprecisi e di seconda mano e analizzandone la vasta opera drammaturgica in modo sommario. Se poco conosciuta è, infatti, anche l’attività politica svolta da Cavallotti per il teatro (che trova una espressione compiuta nel progetto di riforma della legge del 1875 sui diritti d’autore) i suoi costanti rapporti con direttori di compagnie, impresari e attori, documentati da un ricco carteggio conservato presso la Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, offrono la possibilità di ricostruire più da vicino un momento significativo della vita teatrale italiana nel secondo Ottocento.

description: Applications of high-dimensional regression often involve multiple sources or types of covariates. We propose methodology for this setting, emphasizing the “wide data” regime with large total dimensionality p and sample size n≪p. We focus on a flexible ridge-type prior with shrinkage levels that are specific to each data type or source and that are set automatically by empirical Bayes. All estimation, including setting of shrinkage levels, is formulated mainly in terms of inner product matrices of size n×n. This renders computation efficient in the wide data regime and allows scaling to problems with millions of features. Furthermore, the proposed procedures are free of user-set tuning parameters. We show how sparsity can be achieved by post-processing of the Bayesian output via constrained minimization of a certain Kullback-Leibler divergence. This yields sparse solutions with adaptive, source-specific shrinkage, including a closed-form variant that scales to very large p. We present empirical results from a simulation study based on real data and a case study in Alzheimer’s disease involving millions of features and multiple data sources.

description: Childhood obesity is a growing epidemic that calls for more effective, school-based interventions. As such, the aim of the present study was to systematically describe the steps in the development of and conduct a formative evaluation for Food, Health & Choices (FHC), an innovative approach to reducing childhood that incorporates curriculum with classroom wellness policy and parental supports. The formative evaluation includes both process and outcome evaluations. The purpose of evaluating the formative stage of research was to learn about ways to strengthen and improve the quality of program implementation and the appropriateness of study instruments in anticipation of the full intervention year. Results from the process evaluation revealed key factors to include in formative studies for school-based interventions, particularly for maximizing a program's ability to change behavior and the ability for evaluation instruments to detect any changes. Recommendations include shortening and simplifying lesson content, adding more visuals and hands-on activities to lessons, modifying the goal-setting process, making the physical activity component more engaging, rallying teacher support of the program, providing teachers with on-going support, and obtaining regular teacher feedback. The process instruments found to be most useful were the mid-intervention PD sessions, lesson observation forms, unit summary sheets, teacher interviews, and student interviews. Results from the outcome evaluation demonstrated that students successfully made changes in some of the targeted behaviors and are sufficiently promising to proceed with the full trial contingent upon program improvements being made.

Subjects: adaptive learning, international macroeconomic, large-scale macroeconomic models, transmission of shocks

description: The objective of this thesis is to explore the implications of learning as an alter- native expectations formation mechanism in international macroeconomics. The first part of the thesis (Chapters 2 to 4) deals with the e¤ects of adaptive learning(Evans and Honkapohja, 2001) in the transmission of policy changes and shocks within and across borders. In particular, learning has been introduced to two major workhorse open economy models: the Mundell-Fleming Dornbusch and the McKibbin-Sachs Global (MSG3) models. The second part of the thesis (Chapters 5 to 6) begins by examining the learning behavior of international creditors about the credibility of an exchange rate regime using a game theoretic approach to reputation. Using the Pooled Mean Group methodology, this part also conducts an empirical analysis to investigate the inter-relationship between sovereign yield spreads and exchange rate regime during the pre-World War One era...

description: In neutrino oscillation experiments precise measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters is of prime importance as well as a challenge. To improve the statistics, presently running and proposed experiments are using heavy nuclear targets. These targets introduce nuclear effects and the quantification of these effects on neutrino oscillation parameters will be decisive in the prediction of neutrino oscillation physics. Limited understanding of neutrino nucleus interactions and inaccurate reconstruction of neutrino energy causes uncertainty in the cross section. The error in the determination of cross section which contributes to systematic error introduces error in the neutrino mixing parameters that are determined by these experiments. In this work we focus on the variation in the predictions of DUNE potential, arising due to systematic uncertainties, using two different event generators-GENIE and GiBUU. These generators have different and independent cross-section models. To check the DUNE potential with the two generators as mentioned we have checked the senstivity studies of DUNE for CP violation, mass hierarchy and octant degeneracy.

description: DESCRIPTION OF LATILACTOBACILLUS FRAGIFOLII SP. NOV.
 Latilactobacillus fragifolii (fra.gi.fo’li.i. L. neut. n. fragum strawberry plant; L. neut. n. folium leaf; N.L. gen. n. fragifolii of a strawberry leaf)
 Cells of isolates AMBP158, AMBP159, AMBP162 T, AMBP163, AMBP229, AMBP231, AMBP240, AMBP241, AMBP243, AMBP252, AMBP253, AMBP254 and AMBP256 are facultative heterofermentative, Gram-positive, catalase-positive, straight short rods of 0.8–1.6µm, which do not occur in long chains. They grow aerobically and anaerobically in MRS. Colonies grown aerobically on MRS agar at 30°C for 48 h are small, circular and white with a shiny surface. Acid is produced from L-arabinose, ribose,D-galactose, D-glucose,D-fructose,D-mannose, N -acetyl glucosamine, aesculin, salicin, cellobiose, sucrose, trehalose and gluconate. Acid is not produced from glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose,D-xylose,L-xylose, adonitol, methyl β-xyloside, L-sorbose, rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, mannitol, sorbitol, methyl α-D-mannopyranoside, methyl α-D-glucoside, amygdalin, arbutin, maltose, lactose, melibiose, inulin, melezitose, raffinose, starch, glycogen, xylitol, β-gentibiose, turanose, D-lyxose,D-tagatose,D-fucose,L-fucose,D-arabitol,L-arabitol and 2- or 5- keto-gluconate. Several phenotypic characteristics that are typical for this new species, such as catalase activity and utilization of L-arabinose and sucrose, could play a role in the adaptation of this species to the phyllosphere.
 The type strain, AMBP162 T (= LMG 32285 T = CECT 30357 T), was isolated from the leaves of a strawberry plant growing in central Portugal. The genome size of strain AMBP162 T is 1.96 Mbp and the DNA G+C content is 41 mol%.

description: Override and update are natural constructions for combining partial functions, which arise in various program specification contexts. We use an unexpected connection with combinatorial geometry to provide a complete finite system of equational axioms for the first order theory of the override and update constructions on partial functions, resolving the main unsolved problem in the area.

description: The n-type HgCr2Se4 exhibits a sharp semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) in resistivity accompanying the ferromagnetic order at TC = 106 K. Here, we investigate the effects of pressure and magnetic field on the concomitant SMT and ferromagnetic order by measuring resistivity, dc and ac magnetic susceptibility, as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction under various pressures up to 8 GPa and magnetic fields up to 8 T. Our results demonstrate that the ferromagnetic metallic ground state of n-type HgCr2Se4 is destabilized and gradually replaced by an antiferromagnetic, most likely a spiral magnetic, and insulating ground state upon the application of high pressure. On the other hand, the application of external magnetic fields can restore the ferromagnetic metallic state again at high pressures, resulting in a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) as high as ~ 3 * 10^11 % under 5 T and 2 K at 4 GPa. The present study demonstrates that n-type HgCr2Se4 is located at a peculiar critical point where the balance of competion between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions can be easily tipped by the external stimuli, providing a new platform for achieving CMR in a single-valent system.

Subjects: subject: ESL/EFL learners’ language proficiency
subject: Conventional drama technique
subject: Role-playing
subject: Oral Communication Strategy Inventory (OCSI)
subject: Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLACS)

description: My aim in this study was to examine suggestions inherent in the literature on process drama that it has viability for enhancing ESL/EFL learners’ language proficiency .This intention was enacted by exploring effects of a process drama intervention in training English learners’ use of oral communication strategies (OCSs) in a comparison context with a more conventional drama technique, role-playing. Dependent variables used as measures of effect were the variety of OCSs that learners used and with what frequency. The respective approaches used a series of planned lessons incorporating techniques of process drama, and a similar set of lessons using scripted role-play with 53 EFL participants from a Junior College in southern Taiwan. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from participants’ responses to questionnaires based on an adapted Oral Communication Strategy Inventory (OCSI), oral exams, after-task reflection surveys, semi-structured group interview, questionnaires of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLACS), journals and video-recording. Excerpts of class activities of each group are used as supplemental reference.

description: In this thesis, Janis Cook explores ways in which the thoughtful curation of a chamber concert can enhance the reception of the musical repertoire. This avenue of research has evolved from questioning why performances of musical artworks which reflect a significant portion of Australia’s cultural inheritance attract only a niche and arguably diminishing audience. The author establishes points of view which emphasise the deep cultural connections inherent in music, embrace the social aspect of performance, eschew the division of the expressive realm of the arts into discrete categories, and consider the role of music in the current metamodernist milieu. A scan of historical and current performance practice precedes a discussion of the power of curation as a tool of communication. As primary research projects, three chamber-music events apply concepts from narrative theory, the philosophy of experiential time, and the general field of arts curation. Around these curated performances, para-curatorial approaches experiment with the distribution of printed programmes after the performance, and a Pay-What-You-Want business model. The methodology consists of the design and execution of the performances as curations, analysis of informal and ethics-approved feedback about the curations, and exegesis mapped by recordings of the curated performances and the overall artistic journey. Many musical examples and video links exemplify the curatorial outcomes. A fourth and supplementary project points to the future of the performing arts in an increasingly online world. It suggests new ways of adapting the power of curation to suit digital formats, rather than mere live-streamed or pre-recorded onstage performances, by utilising the infrastructure already in place which serves the music industry at large. Janis Cook addresses the place of chamber music in contemporary society, the role of performing artists as art performers, and the imperative for chamber players to contribute to current culture. The study reveals strong arguments for thoughtfully designing an audience’s chamber concert experience and identifies avenues for further research.

description: The cases of bacterial multidrug resistance are increasing every year and becoming a serious concern for human health. Multidrug efflux pumps are key players in the formation of antibiotic resistance, which transfer out a broad spectrum of drugs from the cell and convey resistance to the host. Efflux pumps have significantly reduced the efficacy of the previously available antibiotic armory, thereby increasing the frequency of therapeutic failures. In gram-negative bacteria, the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump is the principal transporter of the substrate and plays a major role in the formation of antibiotic resistance. In the current work, advanced computer-aided drug discovery approaches were utilized to find hit molecules from the library of biogenic chalcones against the bacterial AcrB efflux pump. The results of the performed computational studies via molecular docking, drug-likeness prediction, pharmacokinetic profiling, pharmacophore mapping, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics simulation study provided ZINC000004695648, ZINC000014762506, ZINC000014762510, ZINC000095099506, and ZINC000085510993 as stable hit molecules against the AcrB efflux pumps. Identified hits could successfully act against AcrB efflux pumps after optimization as lead molecules. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
