Cis-Regulatory divergence and expression of ryanodine receptor paralogues in ...TahaniBaakdhah
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large homotetrameric proteins that in mammals are encoded by three genes: RyR1 in skeletal muscle; RyR2 in cardiac and smooth muscle; and RyR3 which is expressed in a diversity of cell types. RyR channels play a central role in the excitation-contraction (EC) coupling process by mediating Ca²+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). RyR1 paralogues are expressed in a fiber type-specific manner in fish skeletal muscles: RyR1a in slow-twitch skeletal muscle (red muscle) and RyR1b in fast-twitch skeletal muscle (white muscle). RyR1a and RyR1b are classic examples of spatial subfunctionalization, since they share an ancestral function, yet are expressed differentially in red and white muscle fibres respectively. Gene duplication and subsequent divergence in sequence, expression and interactions are considered to be one of the major driving forces in the evolution of diversity. After the upstream promoter regions, evolutionarily conserved introns are considered the second most important sites containing gene regulatory elements that control tissue-specific expression (gene enhancers or gene silencers). Using medaka (Oryzias latipes) as a model organism, I searched the noncoding sequences in medaka RyR1 and RyR3 genes to look for conserved noncoding elements for RyR co-orthologues and paralogues. The bioinformatic analyses revealed evidence of conservation of noncoding elements for RyR co-orthologues and divergence between RyR paralogues. I also analyzed the spatial and developmental expression of the RyR paralogues (RyR1a/RyR1b; RyR3a/RyR3b) in medaka. The expression analyses revealed conserved expression patterns for the RyR co-orthologues and divergent expression of the RyR paralogues.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Starfish: App Details
1. STARFISH
Jeff Grimes – iOS Development and Product Lead
Prashanth Bala – Backend Development
Trevor Assaf – Image Processing
Matt Safian – Design
2. Problem
• Women and girls have lots of nail polish.
• Friends often ask “Nice nail polish! What color is that? What
brand is it? Where’d you get it?”
• But it’s difficult to remember which brand and color it is.
• Starfish is an iPhone app that solves this problem.
• Users snap a picture of nails they like and get color and brand
matches from Essie, OPI, L’Oreal, and other top brands.
• They can browse and purchase matching nail polishes.
Think “Shazam for nail polish.”
Solution
6. Features and Technical Details
• Make slight adjustments to color after taking picture to
compensate for different lighting conditions.
• Get results in under 1.5 seconds due to scalable database
built in Scala (functional paradigms) with Akka Actors
concurrency model.
• Purchase nail polishes with one click through Amazon.
• No open-source algorithm exists that trivializes the problem
of color-matching with Amazon products, so we designed
our own algorithm – a hybrid of several proven image
analysis techniques.
• The algorithm’s final step maps the color space of Amazon
products to HSV for vector analysis.
7. The Story of Starfish
• Created in 24 hours at Greylock Hackfest 2013, an
invitation-only hackathon held by Greylock Partners in
San Francisco at Airbnb headquarters.
• Starfish won Top 10 honors out of 60+ teams.
• The team is working now to add the finishing touches to
the app and release Starfish to the App Store.
