title: A Trip To L-Ala-L-Ala Land: the characterisation of AlaE, an amino acid efflux protein from Escherichia coli
Creators: name: Ensignia, Maria-Elena
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2025

description: E. coli pathogenic strains are known to cause serious diseases in both humans and animals, sometimes leading to fatal complications. The growing challenge of treating these infections stems from multidrug resistance, which is enhanced by the bacteria's genetic adaptability and the protective nature of biofilm structures. AlaE, an L-alanine efflux pump, plays a critical role in biofilms by transporting L-alanine to nutrient-deprived regions, promoting colony growth under resource-limited conditions. The alaE-deficient mutant strain JW2645-5 (ΔalaE), exhibits bacteriostatic effects under high concentrations of L-alanine and its peptides, making AlaE a promising target for developing efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs). However, AlaE's function and structure remain poorly characterised.
In this study, we hypothesised the deletion of alaE to lead to impaired efflux of L-alanine and its peptides, resulting in growth inhibition under specific conditions. Furthermore, we predicted that the tripeptide L-alanyl-L-alanyl-alanine (Ala-Ala-Ala) is an additional inhibitory substrate, accumulating to toxic levels causing growth inhibition in the absence of AlaE. Micro-growth assays in defined M9 medium confirmed ΔalaE susceptibility to L-alanyl-L-alanine, displaying phenotypic delays and impaired growth at higher concentrations. Notably, ΔalaE was completely inhibited by the tripeptide L-alanyl-L-alanyl-alanine at lower concentrations. In restrictive media lacking carbon and nitrogen, ΔalaE metabolised Ala-Ala for growth, though with a 3-hour delay, while nutrient-rich LB alleviated inhibition, highlighting AlaE's inessentiality in these conditions. Using AlaE plasmid constructs, we rescued the ΔalaE phenotype and identified H10, D14, D84, and D133 as essential residues through site-directed mutagenesis. Alanine substitutions at these sites resulted in loss of AlaE function, restoring the ΔalaE phenotypic delay.
These findings are consistent with a role for AlaE in the export of alanine and alanine-containing peptides, contributing to both efflux and biofilm survival. Additionally, they highlight critical residues that could serve as antimicrobial targets, advancing the development of EPIs to combat multidrug-resistant E. coli, and providing a foundation for future studies into AlaE's structural and functional characterisation.

description: High precision skyrmion pinning by an intentionally created magnetic structure is important in skyrmion manipulation. Here, we consider skyrmion pinning by various types of disks. Among other findings, we clarify that, in terms of pinning position and pinning potential landscape, one needs to distinguish thin-wall skyrmions from thick-wall skyrmions because of fundamental differences. A skyrmion wall prefers areas with a weaker exchange stiffness, a larger DMI constant, or a smaller magnetic anisotropy while a skyrmion core experiences only the magnetic anisotropy, not exchange stiffness and DMI. Depending on disk type, skyrmion type, and the relative size of the disk (to skyrmion), a skyrmion can be pinned at the symmetric (center) or asymmetric (off-center) point of a disk. In case a skyrmion is pinned by a local energy minimum, thermal agitation can depin the skyrmion, and the pinning lifetime follows an Arrhenius law. Interestingly, when the disk size is comparable to the skyrmion size, the skyrmion deforms greatly such that the skyrmion will shrink or expand to fill the whole disk. These findings should be important for skyrmion manipulations.

Collisional Pumping of H$_2$O and CH$_3$OH Masers in C-Type Shock Waves

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The collisional pumping of H$_2$O and CH$_3$OH masers in magnetohydrodynamic nondissociative C-type shocks is considered. A grid of C-type shock models with speeds in the range $5-70$ km s$^{-1}$ and preshock gas densities $n_{\rm H_2,0} = 10^4-10^7$ cm$^{-3}$ is constructed. The large velocity gradient approximation is used to solve the radiative transfer equation in molecular lines. The para-H$_2$O 183.3 GHz and ortho-H$_2$O 380.1 and 448.0 GHz transitions are shown to be inverted and to have an optical depth along the shock velocity $\vert τ\vert \sim 1$ at relatively low gas densities in the maser zone, $n_{\rm H_2} \gtrsim 10^5-10^6$ cm$^{-3}$. Higher gas densities, $n_{\rm H_2} \gtrsim 10^7$ cm$^{-3}$, are needed for efficient pumping of the remaining H$_2$O masers. Simultaneous generation of H$_2$O and class I CH$_3$OH maser emission in a shock is possible at preshock gas densities $n_{\rm H_2,0} \approx 10^5$ cm$^{-3}$ and shock speeds in the range $u_{\rm s} \approx 17.5-22.5$ km s$^{-1}$. The possibility of detecting class I CH$_3$OH and para-H$_2$O 183.3 GHz masers in star-forming regions and near supernova remnants is investigated.

description: Accurate and fast-convergent time synchronization is very important for wireless sensor networks. The flooding time synchronization converges fast, but its transmission delay and by-hop error accumulation seriously reduce the synchronization accuracy. In this article, a rapidflooding multiple one-way broadcast time-synchronization (RMTS) protocol for large-scale wireless sensor networks is proposed. To minimize the by-hop error accumulation, the RMTS uses maximum likelihood estimations for clock skew estimation and clock offset estimation, and quickly shares the estimations among the networks. As a result, the synchronization error resulting from delays is greatly reduced, while faster convergence and higher-accuracy synchronization is achieved. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that, even over 24-hops networks, the RMTS is able to build accurate synchronization at the third synchronization period, and moreover, the by-hop error accumulation is slower when the network diameter increases.

description: Average consensus theory is intensely popular for building time synchronization in wireless sensor network (WSN). However, the average consensus-based time synchronization algorithm is based on iteration that pose challenges for efficiency, as they entail high communication cost and long convergence time in large-scale WSN. Based on the suggestion that the greater the algebraic connectivity leads to the faster the convergence, a novel multi-hop average consensus time synchronization (MACTS) is developed with innovative implementation in this paper. By employing multi-hop communication model, it shows that virtual communication links among multi-hop nodes are generated and algebraic connectivity of network increases. Meanwhile, a multihop controller is developed to balance the convergence time, accuracy and communication complexity. Moreover, the accurate relative clock offset estimation is yielded by delay compensation. Implementing the MACTS based on the popular one-way broadcast model and taking multi-hop over short distances, we achieve hundreds of times the MACTS convergence rate compared to ATS.

description: Few-shot object detection has been extensively investigated by incorporating meta-learning into region-based detection frameworks. Despite its success, the said paradigm is still constrained by several factors, such as (i) low-quality region proposals for novel classes and (ii) negligence of the inter-class correlation among different classes. Such limitations hinder the generalization of base-class knowledge for the detection of novel-class objects. In this work, we design Meta-DETR, which (i) is the first image-level few-shot detector, and (ii) introduces a novel inter-class correlational meta-learning strategy to capture and leverage the correlation among different classes for robust and accurate few-shot object detection. Meta-DETR works entirely at image level without any region proposals, which circumvents the constraint of inaccurate proposals in prevalent few-shot detection frameworks. In addition, the introduced correlational meta-learning enables Meta-DETR to simultaneously attend to multiple support classes within a single feedforward, which allows to capture the inter-class correlation among different classes, thus significantly reducing the misclassification over similar classes and enhancing knowledge generalization to novel classes. Experiments over multiple few-shot object detection benchmarks show that the proposed Meta-DETR outperforms state-of-the-art methods by large margins.

description: Walking motion planning based on Divergent Component of Motion (DCM) and Linear Inverted Pendulum Model (LIPM) is one of the alternatives that could be implemented to generate online humanoid robot gait trajectories. This algorithm requires different parameters to be adjusted. Herein, we developed a framework to attain optimal parameters to achieve a stable and energy-efficient trajectory for real robot's gait. To find the optimal trajectory, four cost functions representing energy consumption, the sum of joints velocity and applied torque at each lower limb joint of the robot, and a cost function based on the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) stability criterion were considered. Genetic algorithm was employed in the framework to optimize each of these cost functions. Although the trajectory planning was done with the help of the simplified model, the values of each cost function were obtained by considering the full dynamics model and foot-ground contact model in Bullet physics engine simulator. The results of this optimization yield that walking with the most stability and walking in the most efficient way are in contrast with each other. Therefore, in another attempt, multi-objective optimization for ZMP and energy cost functions at three different speeds was performed. Finally, we compared the designed trajectory, which was generated using optimal parameters, with the simulation results in Choreonoid simulator.

description: Clock skew compensation is essential for accurate time synchronization in wireless networks. However, contemporary clock skew estimation is based on inaccurate transmission time measurement, which makes credible estimation challenging. Based on one-way broadcast synchronization, this study presents a novel maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) with an innovative implementation to minimize the clock skew estimation error caused by delay. A multiple one-way broadcast model is developed for observation and set collection, while the distribution of actual delay is discussed. A clock skew MLE based on Gaussian delay is then proposed and its Cramer-Rao lower bound provided. The developed MLE is independent of the clock offset estimation, and requires only two synchronization periods to generate an accurate estimation. Extensive experimental results indicate that the performance of the proposed MLE is better than the methods popularly used in existing time synchronization protocols.

description: Performance and scalability requirements have a fundamental role in most large-scale software applications. To satisfy such requirements, caching is often used at various levels and infrastructure layers. Application-level caching -- or memoization -- is an increasingly used form of caching within the application boundaries, which consists of storing the results of computations in memory to avoid re-computing them. This is typically manually done by developers, who identify caching opportunities in the code and write additional code to manage the cache content. The task of identifying caching opportunities is a challenge because it requires the analysis of workloads and code locations where it is feasible and beneficial to cache objects. To aid developers in this task, there are approaches that automatically identify cacheable methods. Although such approaches have been individually evaluated, their effectiveness has not been compared. We thus in this paper present an empirical evaluation to compare the method recommendations made by the two existing application-level caching approaches at the method level, namely APLCache and MemoizeIt, using seven open-source web applications. We analyse the recommendations made by each approach as well as the hits, misses and throughput achieved with their valid caching recommendations. Our results show that the effectiveness of both approaches largely depends on the specific application, the presence of invalid recommendations and additional configurations, such as the time-to-live. By inspecting the obtained results, we observed in which cases the recommendations of each approach fail and succeed, which allowed us to derive a set of seven lessons learned that give directions for future approaches to support developers in the adoption of this type of caching.

description: With this report, PLUS consortium wants to contribute to a large debate on the role of platform economy and on how to deal with labour transformations after Covid-19 outbreak. Considering the ongoing very unpredictable situation, the observations contained in the report should be considered as explorative to further investigations. In any case, we would suggest to avoid framing Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 as outstanding event clearly dividing what occurred before from what will occur shortly after. Rather, one of the purposes of this report is to test if some of the hypothesis we produced during the first year and half of the project are still persuasive even after virus appearance. At first sight it seems that Covid-19 pandemic highlights and, if anything, emphasizes very well some platforms characteristics we had already identified: the lack of social protections for platform workers, the becoming essential infrastructures of platforms, the digitalization of services, the changing nature of urban economies.

description: We systematically investigate the ground state phase diagram and the finite temperature phase transitions for a Rydberg-dressed Fermi gas loaded in a bilayer optical lattice. When an effective finite-ranged attraction is induced, our self-consistent mean-field calculation shows that the gapped topological ( $p$-wave) superfluids in each layer are coupled together by the $s$-wave pairing in an intermediate inter-layer distance with a spontaneously modulated phases between these two order parameters. The obtained ground state is a gapless topological superfluid with quantized topological charges characterizing the gapless points, leading to a zero energy flat band at the edges. Finally, we calculate the finite temperature phase diagrams of this two-dimensional gapless superfluid and observe two distinct critical temperatures, demonstrating the fruitful many-body effects on a paired topological superfluids.

description: This document represents deliverable D2.3 “Report on European in-depth case studies” within workpackage WP2 “Diagnostic of existing experiences on agri-environmental-climate public goods (AECPGs)” of the EU Horizon 2020 project CONSOLE. The report on European in-depth studies gives a short introduction of the deliverable’s objectives and the tasks addressed. It describes the process of in-depth data collection and shortly introduces the criteria being the basis for performance assessment, as well as the types of contract solutions considered in the project. The document then provides an in-depth insight into 26 CONSOLE in-depth studies: it describes the main contract features of 5 contract solutions qualifying as result-based/result-oriented contract solutions, 7 as collective implementation/collaboration contract solutions, 6 as contract solutions based on the value chain, and 3 contract solutions characterized by land tenure arrangements with environmental clauses. Moreover, 5 contract types representing combinations/hybrids of contract types are presented. The report outlines how different agri-environmental-climate public goods (AECPGs) are addressed by the different contract types, revealing that differences exist in the numbers and the kind of AECPGs addressed. The analysis shows for example that biodiversity represents the AECPG most often addressed and indicates, that result-based and result-oriented contract solutions are mainly implemented to target single, specific AECPGs, while collective implementation focusses rather on the improvement of broader bundles of AECPGs on territorial levels. The report analyses framework conditions and context situations under which contract solutions are implemented, particularly discussing 1.) environmental conditions, agricultural/forestry background and socioeconomic features, 2.) policy conditions, 3.) legal conditions, 4.) the role of institutions and formal structures and 5.) technology aspects. The last part of the report is devoted to the analysis of contract specifications and performance of the contract solutions. Here, the results of the evaluation of the importance of performance criteria for the success of contract solutions are described, giving a deeper insight into the 10 performance criteria and how they are important for the success of the different contract types. A major part of the analysis is then devoted to the description of design principles for high performance. Here best practice examples out of the in-depth sample are provided. The report concludes with an overview of the main findings, and gives and outlook on the further use of the results for scientific analyses and for practice.

description: To improve the provision of agri-environmental-climate public goods (AECPGs) from agriculture and forestry, new solutions, such as result-based payments or collective implementation, and new strategies along the value chain might help. The analysis of ca. 120 case studies in and outside EU showed that many real-life cases of implementation combine different contract types. Collective implementation can be a precondition for environmental effectiveness, particularly if AECPGs are addressed that can be hardly improved by measures on single plots, (e.g. water quality). Result-based contracts can target specific AECPGs and increase engagement of land-managers due to flexible management choices. Some recommendations for contract design and implementation are distilled: 1.) Targeting contracts to specific regions addresses regional criticalities and enhances the farmers’ and foresters’ interest and understanding of measures. 2.) Involving land-managers in target-setting and measure development leads to higher compatibility with their businesses and can create win-win situations. 3.) Involving control authorities in the design of indicators in result-based schemes can guarantee integrability into RDPs. 4.) Fostering bottom-up approaches and involving regional key actors as coordinating units enhances commitment and motivation in collective approaches. 5.) Guaranteeing good levels of equity and fairness enhances acceptance particularly in value-chain based solutions. It becomes clear that result-based and collective solutions don’t fit in each context situation, as they often demand high levels of knowledge and collaborative skills. Value chain approaches are often only suited if consumers’ awareness is high.

description: Emerging vehicular systems with increasing proportions of automated components present opportunities for optimal control to mitigate congestion and increase efficiency. There has been a recent interest in applying deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to these nonlinear dynamical systems for the automatic design of effective control strategies. Despite conceptual advantages of DRL being model-free, studies typically nonetheless rely on training setups that are painstakingly specialized to specific vehicular systems. This is a key challenge to efficient analysis of diverse vehicular and mobility systems. To this end, this article contributes a streamlined methodology for vehicular microsimulation and discovers high performance control strategies with minimal manual design. A variable-agent, multi-task approach is presented for optimization of vehicular Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes. The methodology is experimentally validated on mixed autonomy traffic systems, where fractions of vehicles are automated; empirical improvement, typically 15-60% over a human driving baseline, is observed in all configurations of six diverse open or closed traffic systems. The study reveals numerous emergent behaviors resembling wave mitigation, traffic signaling, and ramp metering. Finally, the emergent behaviors are analyzed to produce interpretable control strategies, which are validated against the learned control strategies.

description: Differential computation (DC) is a highly general incremental computation/view maintenance technique that can maintain the output of an arbitrary and possibly recursive dataflow computation upon changes to its base inputs. As such, it is a promising technique for graph database management systems (GDBMS) that support continuous recursive queries over dynamic graphs. Although differential computation can be highly efficient for maintaining these queries, it can require a prohibitively large amount of memory. This paper studies how to reduce the memory overhead of DC with the goal of increasing the scalability of systems that adopt it. We propose a suite of optimizations that are based on dropping the differences of operators, both completely or partially, and recomputing these differences when necessary. We propose deterministic and probabilistic data structures to keep track of the dropped differences. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the optimizations can improve the scalability of a DC-based continuous query processor.

description: Transit oriented development (TOD) is a widely accepted policy objective of many jurisdictions in the United States. There is both anecdotal and empirical evidence to suggest that the vitality of TODs and the transit boardings from any TOD depends significantly on the extent of retail development in the transit station area. We focus in this paper, on the determinants of retail location in two counties, Montgomery
County and Prince George’s County, Maryland, with a particular focus on the influence of proximity to
rail transit stations. We used data from two counties in the Washington DC suburbs to construct
measures of transit and retail accessibility and constructed an econometric model to estimate the relationship between urban contextual factors and retail firm locations. The results from our analysis provide empirical support for the notion that retail firms are attracted to locations with high levels of transit accessibility. By extension, these findings suggest that investments in transit—particularly fixed rail transit—may be an effective method for stimulating retail development in metropolitan areas.

description: Population aging is an increasingly important consideration for health care in the 21th century, and continuing to have access and interact with digital health information is a key challenge for aging populations. Voice-based Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs) are promising to improve the Quality of Life (QoL) of older adults, and coupled with Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA) they can be effective to collect important health information from older adults, especially when it comes to repeated time-based events. However, this same EMA data is hard to access for the older adult: although the newest IVAs are equipped with a display, the effectiveness of visualizing time-series based EMA data on standalone IVAs has not been explored. To investigate the potential opportunities for visualizing time-series based EMA data on standalone IVAs, we designed a prototype system, where older adults are able to query and examine the time-series EMA data on Amazon Echo Show - a widely used commercially available standalone screen-based IVA. We conducted a preliminary semi-structured interview with a geriatrician and an older adult, and identified three findings that should be carefully considered when designing such visualizations.

description: Objective: Our objective is to explore how public entities in the role of platform providers can address this issue by enabling collaboration within their OGD ecosystems, both in terms of the OGD published on the underpinning platform, as well as any related Open Source Software (OSS) and standards. Method: We conducted an exploratory multiple-case study of four OGD ecosystems with diverse characteristics. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and in one of the cases through a prolonged engagement. The data was then coded using a set of \textit{apriori} codes. Results: The study descriptively presents each case based on the coding, along with synthesis in the form of a conceptual model that highlights different attributes of OGD ecosystems. For example, we observe how collaboration can be enabled through different types of ownership of the platform provider, how the ecosystem's scope can vary, what roles the platform provider may undertake, how to enable open collaboration, and how to collaborate in terms of data sharing, OSS development, and standards. For each aspect, we provide recommendations based on the explored cases that, together with the model, may help public entities in designing and orchestrating new or existing OGD ecosystems. Conclusions: We conclude that enabling and facilitating collaboration in an OGD ecosystem is a complex exercise, yet believe that it offers new ways for public entities in how they can leverage the power of open innovation to address their goals and directives.
Motivating the Contributions: An Open Innovation Perspective on What to Share as Open Source Software

description: Open Source Software (OSS) ecosystems have reshaped the ways how software-intensive firms develop products and deliver value to customers. However, firms still need support for strategic product planning in terms of what to develop internally and what to share as OSS. Existing models accurately capture commoditization in software business, but lack operational support to decide what contribution strategy to employ in terms of what and when to contribute. This study proposes a Contribution Acceptance Process (CAP) model from which firms can adopt contribution strategies that align with product strategies and planning. In a design science influenced case study executed at Sony Mobile, the CAP model was iteratively developed in close collaboration with the firm's practitioners. The CAP model helps classify artifacts according to business impact and control complexity so firms may estimate and plan whether an artifact should be contributed or not. Further, an information meta-model is proposed that helps operationalize the CAP model at the organization. The CAP model provides an operational OI perspective on what firms involved in OSS ecosystems should share, by helping them motivate contributions through the creation of contribution strategies. The goal is to help maximize return on investment and sustain needed influence in OSS ecosystems.

description: We present a new construction of ordered orthogonal arrays (OOA) of strength $t$ with $(q + 1)t$ columns over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ using linear feedback shift register sequences (LFSRs). OOAs are naturally related to $(t, m, s)$-nets, linear codes, and MDS codes. Our construction selects suitable columns from the array formed by all subintervals of length $\frac{q^{t}-1}{q-1}$ of an LFSR sequence generated by a primitive polynomial of degree $t$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove properties about the relative positions of runs in an LFSR which guarantee that the constructed OOA has strength $t$. The set of parameters of our OOAs are the same as the ones given by Rosenbloom and Tsfasman (1997) and Skriganov (2002), but the constructed arrays are different. We experimentally verify that our OOAs are stronger than the Rosenbloom-Tsfasman-Skriganov OOAs in the sense that ours are "closer" to being a "full" orthogonal array. We also discuss how our OOA construction relates to previous techniques to build OOAs from a set of linearly independent vectors over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, as well as to hypergraph homomorphisms.
