Secondary structure prediction tools analyze a protein's amino acid sequence to predict its 3D structure and function. These tools use various methods like Chou-Fasman, GOR, neural networks, and hidden Markov models to identify alpha helices and beta sheets based on characteristics like residue propensity values, sequence homology, and patterns in windows of amino acids. Accurate prediction of secondary structure is important for determining a protein's tertiary structure and biological role.
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) aligns three or more biological sequences, like proteins or nucleic acids, to infer homology and evolutionary relationships. There are three main methods - dynamic programming computes an optimal alignment but has high runtime; progressive alignment first does pairwise alignments and adds sequences; iterative alignment successively improves approximations without pairwise alignments. Popular tools for MSA include Clustal W, MAFFT, MUSCLE, and T-Coffee. MSA helps detect similarities, conserved motifs, and structural homologies between sequences.

Metabolomics is often described as the study of “the complete set of low molecular weight intermediates, which are context dependent, varying according to the physiology, developmental or pathological state of the cell, tissue, organ or organism”. In fact, metabolomics is a new term for an old science in which classical biochemical concepts are investigated. New and unique to the current research that is being conducted is the combination with genomics information and full system biology. In this refocus we will discuss the challenges in today's metabolomics research and how to address them
Metabolomics-Introduction, metabolism, intermediary metabolism, metabolic pathways, metabolites, metabolome, metabolic turnover, techniques used in metabolomics, metabolite profiling methods, data analysis, metabolomic resources, role of metabolomics in system biology.
Metabolism refers to the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within living organisms. It includes the breakdown of nutrients and organic matter to harvest energy through cellular respiration as well as using energy to construct cellular components. Metabolic profiling studies the low-molecular weight metabolites and intermediates that reflect genetic and physiological changes in organisms. Each cell and tissue has a unique metabolic fingerprint that can provide specialized or generalized physiological information depending on the biofluid studied, such as urine or plasma. Metabolic engineering aims to optimize genetic and regulatory processes in cells to increase production of desired substances.

On the basis of the experimental data we suggest that the differences discovered in certain amino acids concentrations in blood plasma, red blood cells and tumors are criteria in early diagnostics of primary cancerous growth as well as in estimation of the efficacy of specific cancer treatment. Clinical studies on biological fluids and tumors of 1,495 patients with cancer of the mammary gland, lungs, prostate, ovaries, bladder or digestive tract showed significant changes in physiological concentrations of amino acids which either directly or indirectly regulate processes of antitumor response, oncogenesis, immunogenesis and apoptosis were shown. Our strategy of application of amino acids as medicinal preparations includes a targeted effect on the functional and metabolic relationships which are changed in specific pathology through the effect on the regulatory mechanisms of intermediate metabolic reactions, limiting stages of metabolic flows, utilization of energy substrates and transport systems restricting the processes of amino acids pool formation. The creation methodology of pathogenetic compositions of amino acids and their derivatives on the basis of their physiological concentration for practical application of their regulatory effects in oncology was discussed.

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Metabolic flux analysis
1. metabolic flux analysis
• As one of the fundamentals of metabolic engineering, metabolic flux analysis (MFA) has been
widely used to quantify intracellular metabolic fluxes in wild type and engineered mutant type
over the past three decades. It is an experimental fluxomics widely used to examine production
and consumption rates of metabolites in a biological system.
• Combined with stable isotopes and sensitive detection of advanced analytical methods,
metabolic flux pathway analysis offers mechanism details. With the help of stable isotopes like 2H.
13C and 15N, flux analysis offers unique opportunity for establishing metabolic routes
unambiguously and determining the generation and consumption rates of metabolites. Cells or
animal models are supplied with 2H, 13C or 15N isotope-labeled substrates and the formed
isotope-labeled metabolites can be analyzed to derive detailed information about pathways and
fluxes. Because flux analysis can offer detailed information about metabolomics pathway, it is of
great interest to do metabolite flux analysis on different pathways.
2. • Variations in metabolic pathway fluxes that result from genetic or
environmental effects can be quantified through MFA. The MFA result
will give clues to the regulation of metabolic pathways and may
provides insights into new targets for further metabolic engineering.
Various methods of MFA are available, such as stoichiometric MFA,
dynamic metabolic flux analysis, isotopic non-stationary metabolic
flux analysis. Each method has its own advantages and limitations.
Among these approaches, 13C-based metabolic flux analysis has been
developed as a standard tool and has been widely used for
quantitative pathway characterization of diverse biological systems.
To implement 13C-based metabolic flux analysis properly, it is of great
importance to understand the underlying mathematical and
computational modeling fundamentals and analytical measurements.
3. • If the various metabolic pathways inside the cell are regarded as highways, MFA is similar to drafting a traffic report
describing the flow across these highways and how they change in response to detour or roadblock. By comparing
flux maps obtained under different experimental conditions or in the presence of targeted genetic mutation
provides a functional readout on the comprehensive impact of these perturbations have on cell metabolism, which
is crucial for understanding how metabolic pathways are regulated in normal cells—and how they become out of
order in diseased cells. Furthermore, it enables us to point out crucial metabolic points that can be manipulated to
enhance production rates or to restore unhealthy cells to normal metabolic function.
• Herein, Creative proteomics develops a novel metabolic flux analysis platform. What is important is that this
platform allows for the determination of control structure and regulation network of the metabolic pathway. Our
approach is composed of several integrated quantitative methodologies, including a detailed computational
dynamic model accounting for regulatory interactions. This analytical platform is widely applicable to any metabolic
system that can be depicted by kinetic modeling. The advantage of our platform is that it includes regulatory
information crucial for understanding dynamic systems. For example, in response to energy demand, heart is
constantly changing. The platform is a good choice to account for time-dependent behavior of heart function. The
application of this platform could also give insight into mechanisms underlying cardiac contractile disorder.
