Laplacian embedded regression for scalable manifold regularization by Chen, Lin, Tsang, Ivor Wai-Hung, Xu, Dong

“…Inspired by kernel principal component analysis, we further propose to project the introduced decision variable into a subspace spanned by a few eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian matrix in order to better reflect the data manifold, as well as accelerate the calculation of the graph kernel, allowing our methods to efficiently and effectively cope with large scale SSL problems. …”

Structural mimicry of the dengue virus envelope glycoprotein revealed by the crystallographic study of an idiotype–anti-idiotype Fab complex by Wong, Yee Hwa, Goh, Boon Chong, Lim, She Yah, Teo, En Wei, Lim, Angeline P. C., Dedon, Pete C., Hanson, Brendon J., MacAry, Paul A., Lescar, Julien

“…The crystal structure at a resolution of 2.5 Å of a complex between the Fab fragments of E1 and HM14c10 provides the first detailed molecular comparison of an anti-idiotype paratope specific for a human antibody with its analogous epitope, a discontinuous quaternary structure located at the surface of the viral particle that spans adjacent envelope (E) proteins. This comparison reveals that the footprints left by E1 and E on HM14c10 largely overlap, explaining why the formation of binary complexes is mutually exclusive. …”

Computational Approaches for Understanding and Redesigning Enzyme Catalysis by Karvelis, Elijah

“…In this thesis, I address these shortcomings by developing and demonstrating computational strategies comprised of techniques spanning statistical mechanics, machine learning, and protein design, and I apply them to the enzyme ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI), whose economic viability for the production of isobutanol would be strengthened by enhancing its activity on one of its two native substrates: 2-acetolactate (ACL). …”

Finite element analysis of a free-standing concrete sea-wall as alternative to traditional land reclamation by Harris, Raymond

“…Furthermore, a 3D caisson seawall model is used in the analysis so that the stiffness of the cellulated structure can be properly accounted for. The caisson seawall spans 40 m long to 28 m wide. It is connected on its longer side continuously so that it forms a wall barrier in which 20 m of seawater level will be drained from the usable side. …”
