Provenance graph generation for intrusion detection by Lim, Janesse Ziyi

“…Recent studies have highlighted the potential of provenance graphs in intrusion detection, showcasing their ability to achieve higher detection accuracy and lower false alarm rates compared to conventional system-call based methods. In this study, we aim to validate these findings by generating our own benign and malicious user scenarios. …”

Structural studies of PfEMP1 bound to human cluster of differentiation 36 and of an unusual human antibody by Hsieh, F

“…<p>In <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected humans, parasites escape from splenic clearance and cause severe or chronic symptoms partly through the action of the variable surface antigens expressed on the surfaces of infected erythrocytes, called <em>P. falciparum</em> erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (<em>Pf</em>EMP1). …”

Narrowing the gap between machine learning scoring functions and free energy perturbation using augmented data by Valsson, Í, Warren, MT, Deane, CM, Magarkar, A, Morris, GM, Biggin, PC

“…Machine learning offers great promise for fast and accurate binding affinity predictions. However, current models lack robust evaluation and fail on tasks encountered in (hit-to-) lead optimisation, such as ranking the binding affinity of a congeneric series of ligands, thereby limiting their application in drug discovery. …”

Immunity debt for seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of non-pharmaceutical interventions: an ecological analysis and cohort study by Chen, L, Guo, Y, López-Güell, K, Ma, J, Dong, Y, Xie, J, Prieto Alhambra, D

“…In addition, a positive association between the Stringency Index and post-relaxation influenza surge was observed globally (R² = 0.14-0.17) and replicated regionally. Our findings support the population immunity debt hypothesis for influenza and call for proactive preparations against its consequences in future pandemics.…”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Finally, by mapping conformational changes found in molecular dynamics simulations onto changes observed in a previous HDX-MS data set on the <em>Drosophila</em> cryptochrome, a few gaps left by the incomplete coverage of the current experimental data were filled by acquiring information on the phosphate-binding loop and the protrusion motif, two regions which have also been found to undergo light-induced structural changes for the avian cryptochromes investigated. …”

Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”
