A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Vietnam: Initial ideas for Integrated Core Project
1. Vietnam:
Initial ideas for Integrated Core Project
Sabine Douxchamps, CIAT
Livestock CRP Priority Countries Planning Meeting
26 – 27 March 2019
Nairobi, Kenya
2. What we have learned so far
• Our focus value chain was on pigs
• Achievements & lessons from Livestock & Fish
– GAHP for Vietnam, adoption analysis
– Smallholder pig value chain development
– Pig breeding schemes
– Food safety, One health (antibiotic use and resistance)
• Sunsetting the pig value chain: use channels to upscale results
(LIFSAP, SAFEGRO), link with current projects (e.g. SafePork,
PigMaize,…)
3. New focus
• Middle-income country: demand for livestock products ↑, consumers awareness ↑,
high food safety and environmental issues
• Small scale farmers in the highlands, ethnic minorities, less developed areas, poor: Beef
cattle high potential, integrated crop-livestock system (incl. pigs findings and poultry)
• Medium scale intensified areas: for certain aspects (environment, food safety, animal
health…)
→ Do we know enough to design an intervention?
No, need for scoping studies around potential interventions
→ What could we reasonably expect to achieve as outcomes by December 2021?
Increased share of local, quality and healthy ASF in urban markets in North Vietnam,
decreased environmental footprint
4. What an integrated intervention could look like
• Title: Viet meat goes green and healthy
• Target groups: rural and peri-urban producers, + traders
• Integrating our best bets
– Feeds & Forages: improved feeds and forages baskets + post
harvest/dry/cold season options (cubing,…)
– Environment: decrease GHG emissions (LCA) and water
footprint
– Genetics: local breeds
– Health: AMR intervention, food safety
– A4NH: food system perspective with A4NH benchmark sites,
consumer preferences, product and business development
– LLAFS: institutional/organizational innovation for livestock-
based livelihoods; foresight and policy work
– Gender and youth: engagement and benefit sharing
– Capdev
• Key challenges: staff posted abroad,…
