A random-key genetic algorithm-based method for transportation network vulnerability envelope analysis under simultaneous multi-link disruptions by Gu, Y, Ryu, S, Xu, Y, Chen, A, Chan, H-Y, Xu, X

“…This study aims to develop an efficient method based on the random key genetic algorithm (RKGA) for determining the TNVE under simultaneous multi-link disruptions. The main features and benefits of the proposed method include: (a) it simultaneously solves the upper- and lower-bound problems at the same time while guaranteeing the feasibility of all solutions in the solution procedure; (b) it improves the computational efficiency to ensure the applicability to real transportation networks; and (c) it can provide a variety of alternative solutions in addition to the single optimal one, which facilitates the derivation of TNVE buffer and identification of sub-important links. …”

Chronic oxidative stress promotes GADD34-mediated phosphorylation of the TAR DNA-binding protein TDP-43, a modification linked to neurodegeneration by Goh, Catherine Wenhui, Lee, Irene Chengjie, Sundaram, Jeyapriya Rajameenakshi, George, Simi Elizabeth, Yusoff, Permeen, Brush, Matthew Hayden, Sze, Newman Siu Kwan, Shenolikar, Shirish

“…Concomitant with TDP-43 aggregation and proteolysis after prolonged arsenite exposure, GADD34-bound CK1ϵ catalyzed TDP-43 phosphorylations at serines 409/410, which were diminished or absent in GADD34−/− cells. Our findings highlight that the phosphatase regulator, GADD34, also functions as a kinase scaffold in response to chronic oxidative stress and recruits CK1ϵ and oxidized TDP-43 to facilitate its phosphorylation, as seen in TDP-43 proteinopathies.…”
