Characterizing the conformational landscape of MDM2-binding p53 peptides using molecular dynamics simulations by Yadahalli, Shilpa, Li, Jianguo, Lane, David P., Gosavi, Shachi, Verma, Chandra Shekhar

“…Complementing earlier observations, the current study suggests that the p53 peptides largely follow the ‘conformational selection’ paradigm in their recognition of and complexation by MDM2 while the 12/1 peptides likely undergo some element of conformational selection but are mostly driven by ‘binding induced folding’. …”

Development of serum alternative with fermented soybean residue (okara): towards cultured meat production application by Teng, Ting Shien

“…The observed differences in the results suggested that cells may be stimulated by specific metabolites from the extract, and such interactions may vary from cell line to cell line. An in-depth study on the cellular metabolite interaction would be required to optimise the proliferative effects that the fermented okara extracts have on the cells. …”

Two sides of the same coin : boons and banes of machine learning in hardware security by Liu, Wenye, Chang, Chip Hong, Wang, Xueyang, Liu, Chen, Fung, Jason M., Mohammad Ebrahimabadi, Karimi, Naghmeh, Meng, Xingyu, Basu, Kanad

“…ML schemes have been extensively used to enhance the security and trust of embedded systems like hardware Trojans and malware detection. On the other hand, ML-based approaches have also been adopted by adversaries to assist side-channel attacks, reverse engineer integrated circuits and break hardware security primitives like Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). …”

PrimeNet: a framework for commonsense knowledge representation and reasoning based on conceptual primitives by Liu, Qian, Han, Sooji, Cambria, Erik, Li, Yang, Kwok, Kenneth

“…Commonsense knowledge acquisition and representation is a core topic in artificial intelligence (AI), which is crucial for building more sophisticated and human-like AI systems. However, existing commonsense knowledge bases organize facts in an isolated manner like bag of facts, lacking the cognitive-level connections that humans commonly possess. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Having confirmed the importance of spin-ice physics, chapter 6 explores the pressure and temperature dependence of the ice-like correlations. At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. …”
