A Novel Model to Generate Heterogeneous and Realistic Time-Series Data for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment

Issam Boukhennoufa, Delaram Jarchi, Xiaojun Zhai, Victor Utti, Saeid Sanei, Tracey K. M. Lee, Jo Jackson, Klaus D. McDonald-Maier

Summary: The application of machine learning-based tele-rehabilitation faces the challenge of limited availability of data. To overcome this challenge, data augmentation techniques like GANs are commonly used. However, GANs suffer from mode collapse, where the generated data fails to capture all relevant information. In this paper, a Time Series Siamese GAN (TS-SGAN) is proposed to address the problem of mode collapse and achieve better classification accuracy for post-stroke assessment.

Dynamic wave propagation in micro-torus structures: Implementing a 3D physically realistic theory

I. Karimipour, Y. Tadi Beni, Hadi Arvin, A. H. Akbarzadeh

Summary: This paper analyzes wave propagation in micro-torus structures with circular cross-sections using the modified couple stress theory (MCST). The MCST proves to be more effective in describing the dispersion of waves at higher frequencies within micro-tours structures compared to classical continuum theory. The findings can be applied for the design of various devices such as sensors, actuators, medical equipment, and nanoscale transistor channels.

Can we use X-ray CT to generate 3D penetration resistance data?

Maxime Phalempin, Ulla Rosskopf, Steffen Schlueter, Doris Vetterlein, Stephan Peth

Summary: Noninvasive imaging of soils using X-ray CT is a useful method to assess soil structure from a pore space perspective. This study investigated the relationship between the gray value (GV) obtained with X-ray CT and the penetration resistance (PR) obtained with a cone penetration test. The results showed that the correlation between PR and GV depends on soil heterogeneity, with a stronger correlation in loamy soil compared to sandy soil. The study also demonstrated a method to generate 3D PR maps using X-ray CT.

Data Size and Quality Matter: Generating Physically-Realistic Distance Maps of Protein Tertiary Structures

Fardina Fathmiul Alam, Amarda Shehu

Summary: With the debut of AlphaFold2, it is now possible to obtain a highly-accurate view of the equilibrium tertiary structure of a protein molecule. However, the single-structure view is not sufficient to account for the structural plasticity of protein molecules. This research advances the capabilities of deep learning models to learn from experimentally-available tertiary structures of proteins and explores the role of the composition of the training dataset in learning key patterns. The authors also propose a disentangled latent variable model that improves upon existing models, opening up new avenues of research for computing multi-structure views of protein molecules.

RS-Aug: Improve 3D Object Detection on LiDAR With Realistic Simulator Based Data Augmentation

Pei An, Junxiong Liang, Jie Ma, Yanfei Chen, Liheng Wang, You Yang, Qiong Liu

Summary: Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a crucial sensor for 3D object detection and widely used in visual applications, especially autonomous driving. However, the lack of labeled LiDAR datasets severely hinders the development of 3D object detectors, calling for data augmentation. In this study, we propose a Realistic Simulator based data augmentation (RS-Aug) method that constructs augmented real scenes to enrich the training dataset diversity. RS-Aug includes auto-annotation and rendering augmentation steps, which improve object detection performance.

Mulin Yu, Florent Lafarge, Sven Oesau, Bruno Hilaire

Summary: This paper proposes a general method to correct geometric and semantic errors in 3D urban models. By constructing a dynamic data structure, the imperfect input model is decomposed into polyhedra, which are then regrouped and corrected to generate the output model. The algorithm has demonstrated its robustness and efficiency in various real-world defect-laden models.

PD-L1 Glycosylation and Its Impact on Binding to Clinical Antibodies

Julius Benicky, Miloslav Sanda, Zuzana Brnakova Kennedy, Oliver C. Grant, Robert J. Woods, Alan Zwart, Radoslav Goldman

Summary: Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-L1/PD-1, play crucial roles in regulating immune responses and are promising targets for cancer immunotherapy. The glycosylation of PD-L1, particularly at the N219 sequon, influences its interaction with PD-1, with complex glycans and polyLacNAc structures being predominant. Different forms of PD-L1 exhibit varying N219 occupancy and polyLacNAc contributions, potentially impacting their interactions with PD-1.

O-fucosylation stabilizes the TSR3 motif in thrombospondin-1 by interacting with nearby amino acids and protecting a disulfide bond

Steven J. Berardinelli, Alexander Eletsky, Jessika Valero-Gonzalez, Atsuko Ito, Rajashri Manjunath, Ramon Hurtado-Guerrero, James H. Prestegard, Robert J. Woods, Robert S. Haltiwanger

Summary: This article investigates the mechanism of O-fucosylation modification of thrombospondin type-1 repeats (TSRs) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control. Molecular dynamics simulations, crystallography, and NMR experiments provide evidence that the Glucose-Fucose disaccharide interacts with specific amino acids in the TSR3 domain, protecting a nearby disulfide bond. These findings reveal the importance of O-fucosylation modification in maintaining TSR stability.

Computationally guided conversion of the specificity of E-selectin to mimic that of Siglec-8

Xiaocong Wang, Melinda S. Hanes, Richard D. Cummings, Robert J. Woods

Summary: Sulfated glycans have significant potential in molecular pathology as biomarkers for various diseases. However, there is a lack of sulfate-recognizing lectins. In this study, a mutated form of E-selectin was engineered using computational approaches, which showed highly specific recognition of 6'-sulfo-sLex. The mutations in the recombinant lectin eliminated repulsions with the sulfate moiety and abolished interactions with the endogenous ligand.

MA'AT Analysis: Probability Distributions of Molecular Torsion Angles in Solution from NMR Spectroscopy

Reagan J. J. Meredith, Ian Carmichael, Robert J. J. Woods, Anthony S. S. Serianni

Summary: The conformational properties of saccharides in solution have been difficult to characterize due to the complex nature of their structures and the limitations of NMR spectroscopy. Current methods heavily rely on theoretical calculations, such as molecular dynamics simulations, which are not ideal due to the lack of independent experimental validation. A recent development, MA'AT analysis, combines experimental and computational methods to provide accurate torsion angle distributions and overcome the limitations of current approaches.

Protein-Ligand CH-& pi; Interactions: Structural Informatics, Energy Function Development, and Docking Implementation

Yao Xiao, Robert J. J. Woods

Summary: An empirical energy function based on quantum mechanical data was developed to describe the interaction between methane and benzene, including the contribution from CH-& pi; interactions. This interaction is frequently observed in protein-ligand crystal structures, but has been difficult to quantify. The addition of a CH-& pi; term to the AutoDock Vina (AD VINA) scoring function improved the prediction of the orientation of flexible ligands in protein-binding sites and enhanced the detection of carbohydrate-binding sites displaying CH-& pi; interactions. Furthermore, the docking performance for benchmark sets was also improved.

Cataloging natural sialic acids and other nonulosonic acids (NulOs), and their representation using the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans

Amanda L. Lewis, Philip Toukach, Evan Bolton, Xi Chen, Martin Frank, Thomas Luetteke, Yuriy Knirel, Ian Schoenhofen, Ajit Varki, Evgeny Vinogradov, Robert J. Woods, Natasha Zachara, Jian Zhang, Johannis P. Kamerling, Sriram Neelamegham

Summary: Nonulosonic acids, also known as NulOs, are a group of 2-ketoaldonic acids with a 9-carbon backbone. They occur in two forms in nature, namely the 3-deoxy sialic acids in deuterostomes like vertebrates and their pathogens, and the 3,9-dideoxy sialic-acid-like molecules found in bacteria and archaea. NulOs play significant roles in evolution, biology, and disease, and their diversity is reflected in over 90 sialic acid forms and 50 sialic-acid-like variants.
