Advances in Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction via Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Study of Datasets, Data Preprocessing Techniques, and Model Architectures.

Drug discovery is a complex and expensive procedure involving several timely and costly phases through which new potential pharmaceutical compounds must pass to get approved. One of these critical steps is the identification and optimization of lead compounds, which has been made more accessible by the introduction of computational methods, including deep learning (DL) techniques. Diverse DL model architectures have been put forward to learn the vast landscape of interaction between proteins and ligands and predict their affinity, helping in the identification of lead compounds. This survey fills a gap in previous research by comprehensively analyzing the most commonly used datasets and discussing their quality and limitations. It also offers a comprehensive classification of the most recent DL methods in the context of protein-ligand binding affinity prediction (BAP), providing a fresh perspective on this evolving field. We thoroughly examine commonly used datasets for BAP and their inherent characteristics. Our exploration extends to various preprocessing steps and DL techniques, including graph neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and transformers, which are found in the literature. We conducted extensive literature research to ensure that the most recent deep learning approaches for BAP were included by the time of writing this manuscript. The systematic approach used for the present study highlighted inherent challenges to BAP via DL, such as data quality, model interpretability, and explainability, and proposed considerations for future research directions. We present valuable insights to accelerate the development of more effective and reliable DL models for BAP within the research community. The present study can considerably enhance future research on predicting affinity between protein and ligand molecules, hence further improving the overall drug development process.

Antiviral Medications: Unravelling their Significance in Context to COVID-19

Abstract: Viruses represent a significant health menace due to their rapid transmissibility and potential to cause worldwide pandemics, resulting in substantial loss of human life. Antiviral agents play a pivotal role in mitigating the impact of viral infections. Nonetheless, treating viral infections is a multifaceted process due to the inherent characteristics of viruses, such as their capacity to undergo mutations and rapid evolution. Consequently, the effectiveness of current antiviral therapies can be impeded. This review encompasses the diverse manners in which viruses, emphasizing COVID-19, affect the human body and elucidates the challenges encountered in formulating efficacious antiviral treatments. Moreover, the limitations of conventional antiviral therapies are underscored. Additionally, a comprehensive compendium of 41 antiviral drugs is presented, detailing their mechanisms of action and routes of administration. Subsequently, the discussion includes 9 drugs repurposed for treating COVID-19, delineating their primary use as well as any accompanying side effects. In conclusion, while antiviral drugs remain pivotal in the battle against viral infections, the obstacles associated with their development and usage warrant careful consideration. Ongoing research is imperative to devise more potent and less toxic antiviral interventions against COVID-19 infection.

High-Order Local Clustering on Hypergraphs

Graphs are a commonly used model in data mining to represent complex relationships, with nodes representing entities and edges representing relationships. However, graphs have limitations in modeling high-order relationships. In contrast, hypergraphs offer a more versatile representation, allowing edges to join any number of nodes. This capability empowers hypergraphs to model multiple relationships and capture high-order information present in real-world applications. We focus on the problem of local clustering in hypergraphs, which computes a cluster near a given seed node. Although extensively explored in the context of graphs, this problem has received less attention for hypergraphs. Current methods often directly extend graph-based local clustering to hypergraphs, overlooking their inherent high-order features and resulting in low-quality local clusters. To address this, we propose an effective hypergraph local clustering model. This model introduces a novel conductance measurement that leverages the high-order properties of hypergraphs to assess cluster quality. Based on this new definition of hypergraph conductance, we propose a greedy algorithm to find local clusters in real time. Experimental evaluations and case studies on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Partial prior transfer learning based on self-attention CNN for EEG decoding in stroke patients.

The utilization of motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCI) has been shown to assist stroke patients activate motor regions in the brain. In particular, the brain regions activated by unilateral upper limb multi-task are more extensive, which is more beneficial for rehabilitation, but it also increases the difficulty of decoding. In this paper, self-attention convolutional neural network based partial prior transfer learning (SACNN-PPTL) is proposed to improve the classification performance of patients' MI multi-task. The backbone network of the algorithm is SACNN, which accords with the inherent features of electroencephalogram (EEG) and contains the temporal feature module, the spatial feature module and the feature generalization module. In addition, PPTL is introduced to transfer part of the target domain while preserving the generalization of the base model while improving the specificity of the target domain. In the experiment, five backbone networks and three training modes are selected as comparison algorithms. The experimental results show that SACNN-PPTL had a classification accuracy of 55.4%±0.17 in four types of MI tasks for 22 patients, which is significantly higher than comparison algorithms (P < 0.05). SACNN-PPTL effectively improves the decoding performance of MI tasks and promotes the development of BCI-based rehabilitation for unilateral upper limb.

Investigation of geometric structure on energy performance and flow characteristics in underwater hydraulic machinery

PurposeFor underwater hydraulic machinery, the unique structure significantly enhances the three-dimensional non-uniformity of turbulence within the flow domain and high Reynolds number turbulence introduces complex effects on the machinery. Therefore, studying the turbulent flow characteristics in underwater hydraulic machinery is crucial for system stability.Design/methodology/approachThis paper conducts a numerical analysis on a specific type of underwater hydraulic machinery. A numerical calculation model is established under stable inflow conditions to analyze the flow trends and pressure changes at different flow speeds. Subsequently, structural modifications are made to the underwater hydraulic machinery, and the characteristics of the velocity field, pressure field and vorticity distribution under different model parameters are analyzed.FindingsThe results indicate that changes in internal structure have a certain impact on flow characteristics. When the structural changes are significant, the fluid flow becomes more complex and pressure fluctuations become more intense. The research findings provide a scientific basis and theoretical guidance for the structural design of underwater hydraulic machinery and have significant research implications for controlling fluid-induced noise.Originality/valueAffected by the inherent structural characteristics of the flow channel structure, the flow direction of the high-speed water flow changes drastically in the flow channel, so it is of great significance to study its flow characteristics for the stability of the system.

Rutile-phase Sn-Ti Mixed Oxides as Acid Catalysts for the Condensation of C2-C3 Oxygenated Compounds in Water.

The design of new cost-effective and water-resistant acid catalysts is crucial for valorizingaqueous side-streams to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of bio-refineries in a sustainable way. In this work, Sn-Ti mixed oxides are prepared via a green and scalable co-precipitation method. This synthesis procedure allows obtaining homogeneous rutile-phase Sn-Ti mixed oxides with enhanced textural properties and a higher amount of Lewis acid sites. More importantly, the catalytic behavior of these Sn-Ti mixed oxides is investigated by using an aqueous mixture of C2-C3 representative oxygenated compounds, closer to real industrial conditions and differing from usual individual probe molecules studies performed even in the absence of water. Catalytic experiments combined and correlated with spectroscopic measurements (i.e., XRD, TEM, FT-IR with pyridine adsorption-desorption and N2 adsorption) are performed to better understand the properties of different Sn-Ti catalysts. These materials show promising results in the condensation of light oxygenated compounds present in aqueous fractions. Homogeneous and robust rutile-phase structures with inherent hydrophobic characteristics turn these Sn-Ti materials into active and highly resistant catalysts capable to transform these low-value oxygenated compounds into a mixture of hydrocarbons and aromatics useful for blending with automotive fuels, especially under complex acidic aqueous environments and moderate process conditions.

Effect of facial fillers on post-rhinoplasty oedema- a hypothesis based on literature review.

In the quest of achieving younger and media driven facial aesthetics, the use of fillers in the face has recently expanded exponentially. Therefore, it is inevitable that every facial plastic surgeon (FPS) will be facing patients with facial fillers. A consequence of fillers is a sub-optimal/altered lymphatic drainage, which has a direct impact on post-operative oedema following facial surgery including rhinoplasty. In the senior author's experience (AD), it was observed that patients with facial fillers had persistent oedema post-rhinoplasty. This research hypothesizes that prolonged post-rhinoplasty oedema may be related to fillers and aims to gather evidence from the literature to support this hypothesis. It also investigates whether fillers compromise lymphatic drainage. A narrative review was performed on selective articles based on fillers and post-rhinoplasty oedema. Then, it is methodologically analyzed to look for a standard theory and categorize it throughout the discussion. Theoretically, with inherent characteristics of hydrophilic nature, hardness, volume and back-flow phenomena, fillers can lead to prolonged oedema. Additionally, they can either directly block or indirectly exert pressure on the lymphatic pathways and hinder drainage. This research findings support the hypothesis that facial fillers can impact post-operative facial oedema. Future research is required to objectively measure the effect of fillers on facial lymphatic drainage.

Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease Classification Through Deep Learning Approach

Multiple cardiovascular disease classification from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is necessary for efficient and fast remedial treatment of the patient. This paper presents a method to classify multiple heart diseases using one dimensional deep convolutional neural network (CNN) where a modified ECG signal is given as an input signal to the network. Each ECG signal is first decomposed through Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and higher order Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) is combined to form a modified ECG signal. It is believed that the use of EMD would provide a broader range of information and can provide denoising performance. This processed signal is fed into the CNN architecture that classifies the record according to cardiovascular diseases using soft max regress or at the end of the network. It is observed that the CNN architecture learns the inherent features of the modified ECG signal better in comparison with the raw ECG signal. The method is applied on three publicly available ECG databases and it is found to be superior to other approaches in terms of classification accuracy. In MIT-BIH, St. Petersburg, PTB databases the proposed method achieves maximum accuracy of 0.9770, 0.9971 and 0.9871 respectively.

Amorphous Photonic Structure Patterns with Thin Film Interference Effects for Multilevel Anticounterfeiting.

Colloidal photonic structures with the ability to control and manipulate light propagation offer long-term color stability, low optical loss, and angle-dependent color properties, while combinations of different photonic structures across multiple scales provide an extensive color range and enhanced optical functionalities, presenting significant potential for advanced anticounterfeiting applications. However, the proper design or manufacture of such complex structures is still challenging. In this study, amorphous photonic structures (APSs) with thin film interference (TFI) effects were fabricated for multilevel anticounterfeiting. The APSs inherit the isotropic resonant scattering and render partial TFI effects, resulting in unprecedented dynamic specular and diffuse color-shifting features as the viewing or incident direction shifts. Additionally, incorporating a certain concentration of fluorescent microspheres into the colloidal ink adds a third layer of fluorescent anticounterfeiting mode to the APSs. Enabled by infiltration-assisted (IFAST) colloidal assembly technologies, the sophisticated color distributions and randomly arranged fluorescent microspheres on the microscale of APSs grant unique and inherent fingerprint features. The unique and unpredictable optical and structural characteristics of APSs provide physical unclonable functions (PUFs) to prevent replication and tampering, demonstrating their potential as optical PUF security labels for anticounterfeiting applications through artificial intelligence (AI) reading and authentication.

TMIC-47. HUMAN BLOOD-BRAIN TUMOR BARRIER ON A CHIP TO INVESTIGATE PERSONALIZED TREATMENT FOR GLIOBLASTOMA PATIENTS

Abstract The inherent characteristics of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), including tumoral heterogeneity and invasive capacity, combined with the presence of the blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB), present challenges in developing effective treatment for GBM. Especially, the margins of GBM, where GBM cells infiltrate normal brain tissue, exhibit high resistance to therapies. Despite the difficulties in controlling tumor progression from this region, the GBM margin remains a critical area to be studied. Here we report a microengineered model that mimics the BBTB within the GBM margin, incorporating a 3D network of normal astrocytes and GBM cells isolated from patients newly diagnosed with GBM. The interaction between GBM cells and stromal cells results in increased vascular permeability, reactive gliosis, and alterations in astrocyte behavior to foster tumor invasiveness and progression. We compare patient-specific tumor responses to conventional chemotherapy in our BBTB on a chip model with clinical outcomes, demonstrating the capability of the model to predict personalized drug responses. Our BBTB model may serve as a personalized tool to examine the interactions between tumors and normal brain tissue, ultimately facilitating the screening of personalized medicine for GBM treatment.

Unraveling the protective genetic architecture of COVID-19 in the Brazilian Amazon

Despite all the efforts acquired in four years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the path to a full understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in this disease remains complex. This is partly due to a combination of factors, including the inherent characteristics of the infection, socio-environmental elements, and the variations observed within both the viral and the human genomes. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between genetic host factors and the severity of COVID-19. We conducted whole exome sequencing (WES) of 124 patients, categorized into severe and non-severe groups. From the whole exome sequencing (WES) association analysis, four variants (rs1770731 in CRYBG1, rs7221209 in DNAH17, rs3826295 in DGKE, and rs7913626 in CFAP46) were identified as potentially linked to a protective effect against the clinical severity of COVID-19, which may explain the less severe impact of COVID-19 on the Northern Region. Our findings underscore the importance of carrying out more genomic studies in populations living in the Amazon, one of the most diverse from the point of view of the presence of rare and specific alleles. To our knowledge, this is the first WES study of admixed individuals from the Brazilian Amazon to investigate genomic variants associated with the clinical severity of COVID-19.

ML-based Anomaly Detection for CAN Bus Network in Agriculture Machinery

The adoption of advanced automation and next-generation technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and modern communication networks has revolutionized the food and agriculture sector, boosting the efficiency and precision of farm machinery. However, this increased inter-connectivity has also exposed significant vulnerabilities, particularly in Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols, widely used in advanced agricultural machinery and equipment. Due to its lack of inherent security features, CAN is susceptible to various cyber-attacks, potentially leading to severe consequences if these attacks remain undetected and unmitigated. This paper introduces a supervised machine learning (ML)-based anomaly detection system (CAN-ADS) designed to detect various cyber-attacks on CAN-based agricultural machinery. The system leverages network traffic augmentation and data balancing techniques to train ML algorithms on CAN-specific datasets. Experimental results show that CAN-ADS achieves high accuracy (approx 98%) and true-positive rates with low false-negative rates (approx 1%).

Governance of rural solid waste under a multi-subject governance model

Rural solid waste (RSW) exhibits distinct characteristics compared to municipal solid waste (MSW), such as dispersed distribution, long governance chains, and low recycling value, making it unsuitable to apply the same management measures as MSW. Government-led RSW management results in excessive administrative costs, and the inherent characteristics of RSW reduce market enthusiasm for its management. To address these issues, this paper integrates the “ multi-subject governance “ model with RSW management and establishes a systematic evaluation index system for RSW governance. Utilizing the Best-Worst Method (BWM), key factors were identified. Utilizing the VIKOR method, representative provinces in China were used as case studies to validate the scientific nature of the evaluation indices. The research findings indicate that the multi-subject governance model is an effective approach for RSW management. Key factors influencing RSW management effectiveness include various governmental measures, waste sorting, and a long-term multi-subject governance mechanism. Case analysis reveals a strong correlation between the level of economic development and the effectiveness of RSW management. However, constructing a government-led, multi-subject collaborative urban-rural interconnected RSW management model can effectively address RSW management issues in economically underdeveloped areas. This research provides innovative solutions for RSW management, contributing to high-quality and sustainable development in rural areas.

Introduction: Bullfighting festivals are attributed to the cultural idiosyncrasies of the Ibero-American people, posing an extreme risk to the physical integrity of the participants. Spain is considered the country with the highest number of bull-related celebrations worldwide and, therefore, with the highest number of patients injured by bullfighting trauma treated, thus justifying a public health problem. The generalities associated with this type of trauma define the people injured as polytraumatised patients. In addition, it is important to know the kinematics of the injuries and their specific characteristics, in order to implement quality medical-surgical care.Methods: scientific review of the literature to promote a comprehensive guide for the medical-surgical management of patients injured by bullfighting trauma.Results: We described the guidelines to standardise protocols for in-hospital approach of patients injured by bullfighting trauma.Conclusions: Bullfighting trauma is considered a real health problem in the emergency departments of the ibero-Americans countries, especially in Spain, where bullfighting is part of the national culture. The inherent characteristics of these animals cause injuries with special aspects, so it is important to know the generalities of bullfighting trauma. Because of the multidisciplinary approach, these guidelines are adressed to all healthcare providers involved in the management of these patients. It is essential to establish particular initial care for this type of injury, specific therapeutic action and follow-up based on the medical-surgical management of the trauma patient in order to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.

Integrating Blockchain Technology with Internet of Things and Edge Computing to Achieve Security

The last decade has seen many advancements and emergence in computing technologies; Internet of Things (IoT) being one of the most successful among them. Huge data generation in IoT can be utilized for analysis and monitoring the behaviour of various patterns. In spite of wide adaptability, IoT has various challenges such as privacy, security and computational constraints. To address the later challenge, Edge computing can be a potential solution with great computational resources leading towards the improvement in performance in terms of latency, throughput and response time. However, privacy and security remain largely unaddressed along with the traditional limitations of a centralized approach. This brings into the usage of another technology viz. Blockchain that handles the issue of privacy and security through its inherent features such as immutability, transparency and decentralization. In this research, we intend to explore the option of possible integration of Blockchain technology with IoT to address these challenges.

Developing Sustainable Wood Preservatives: The Antifungal Efficiency of Afzelia quanzensis Welv. and Androstachys johnsonii Prain Sawdust Extracts from Mozambique

This study aimed to both develop and assess the antifungal efficacy of extractives derived from different sets of sawdust originating from two hardwood species, namely chanfuta (Afzelia quanzensis Welv.) and mecrusse (Androstachys johnsonnii Prain). These hardwood species possess inherent characteristics of high natural durability. The primary objective was to use these extractives to impregnate perishable wood species, enhancing their durability and augmenting their commercial value. Collected wood sawdust was initially sieved to remove residues and unwanted materials and conditioned until 12% moisture content. Subsequently, the sawdust was Soxhlet-extracted using a mixture of organic solvents, including acetone, ethanol, and toluene. After evaporating the solvents, the resulting extractives were used to prepare a preservative solution with ethanol and acetone. The extractive solutions from each wood species were mixed with malt extract agar and then diluted to various concentrations: 0.125 mg/mL, 0.25 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 2.0 mg/mL, and 2.5 mg/mL. For each concentration, fungal plugs from the periphery of actively growing cultures were moved to the centre of Petri dishes and placed in controlled laboratory conditions for incubation. The antifungal efficacy was assessed against specific wood-decaying fungi, including brown rot fungi (Coniophora puteana, Postia placenta, Lentinus lapideus) and white rot (Trametes versicolor). The evaluation involved daily monitoring of the linear expansion along two perpendicular radii for each fungus expressed as a percentage of the empty Petri dish area. The results indicated that the chanfuta extractives inhibited the growth of brown rot fungi at a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL and white rot fungi at 2.0 mg/mL. Similarly, the mecrusse extractives inhibit brown rot at 0.5 mg/mL and white rot at 2.0 mg/mL. The fatty acids Oleic (C18:1) present in the chanfuta extractives solution and linoleic (C18:2) in mecrusse extractives contributed to restraining the fungal growth. These results suggest that sawdust extractives from both wood species exhibit promising potential for creating environmentally friendly wood preservatives, which, with effective treatments, could extend the lifespan of perishable wood species

Business ecosystem management in the conditions new normality and transcendence

The article examines the essence of the concept, examines the elements and their inherent features of the business ecosystem, substantiates the approaches to effective management in the conditions of new normality and transcendence. The signs of a business ecosystem presented in the article are at first glance inherent in the characteristics of any enterprise, institution or organization, however, we note that ecosystems or turquoise organizations represent the next stage of consciousness development, where traditional concepts and methods are questioned and the organization is considered as a living organism, not a mechanical system. In the context of the transcendental development of business ecosystems, environmental turbulence and growing uncertainty lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of traditional management tools, at the same time, these characteristics can become a catalyst for new opportunities and non-standard management solutions that can significantly strengthen their position in the market and affect corporate synergistic effects, contribute to the formation of new connections and ideas, which will subsequently lead to the introduction of innovations and the development of business ecosystems. Transcendence in the context of management is considered as a concept that covers aspects that go beyond the established boundaries of existing experience, understanding or perception, standard models, conditions and approaches in managing business ecosystems. Management of the business ecosystem in the conditions of new normality and transcendence requires the use of integrated approaches and strategies that can go beyond traditional tools, methods and models. Envisioning the transcendence of management means changing the way you think and understanding that standard models and methods may become ineffective or insufficient in the new normal. Business ecosystems whose leaders are focused on transcendental development in the conditions of the new normality have the greatest chances for business viability, recovery and success. In this context, the article examines transcendental leadership, which refers to the concept of leadership that goes beyond traditional models and focuses on a deeper understanding and approach to managing people, organizations, and change.

Exploring experimental tests concerning liquid hydrogen releases

In recent years, the adoption of liquid hydrogen (LH2) has increased significantly in industrial and transport applications, driven by its low carbon footprint, thereby aiding the fight against global warming. Additionally, its high volumetric energy density, compared to gaseous or compressed hydrogen, enhances hydrogen storage capabilities. However, safety remains a major concern due to its physical-chemical properties and inherent hazardous characteristics, especially in the event of spillage scenarios. Therefore, to better understand the consequences of LH2 releases onto or into water, large-scale experimental tests were conducted by Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) within the Safe Hydrogen Fuel Handling and Use for Efficient Implementation (SH2IFT) project at the Test Site Technical Safety of BAM, comprising 75 single spill events at varied release rates and orientations. While the rapid phase transition (RPT) phenomenon was not observed, self-ignition of the hydrogen-air cloud occurred, accompanied by blast wave overpressure and heat radiation, without a discernible ignition source. These findings emphasize the need for further investigation into LH2 safety. Leveraging experimental data for real-world applications provides insights into safe LH2 infrastructure implementation, laying foundational knowledge for addressing safety challenges and advancing LH2 technology.
