Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), a type of RNA molecule that can be found in various cells. In general, the structure of mRNA is often composed of a 5' cap, two untranslated regions (5' UTR and 3' UTR), a coding domain, a 3' poly(A) tail. mRNA can be produced during the process of transcription in the nucleus. Normally, primary transcript mRNA (pre-mRNA) will be created at the early stage of transcription. This pre-mRNA will be further processed into mature mRNA by RNA splicing and removing introns. Mature mRNA can be further transported into the cytoplasm to participate in protein synthesis. Moreover, two main types of RNA molecules, transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), have also been identified that play a critical role in translating codons into amino acids in the protein-manufacturing process.https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/applications-of-mrna-as-research-tools.htm
Antibodies are immunoglobulins produced by B lymphocytes during their differentiation into plasma cells that bind specifically to the corresponding antigen. Antibodies can be divided into five major classes (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE), which have a protective effect on the organism. Antibody mRNAs don't require nuclear localisation to mediate protein translation, but can be translated directly into target proteins or immunogenic activation of the immune response in vivo by using genetic sequence of the virus.https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/category-antibody-mrna-479.htm
Cytokines are low molecular weight soluble proteins produced by cells stimulated by immunogens, mitogens or other factors, including interleukins, interferons (IFN), lymphokines, colony-stimulating factors (CSF), chemokines, monoclonal factors and other factors. https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/category-cytokine-mrna-455.htm
In vitro transcription (IVT) is an elegant way to obtain highly pure and uniform mRNA oligonucleotides of lengths ranging from about 15 to several thousand nucleotides. It is transcribed from a double-stranded DNA template by RNA polymerase (T7, T3 or SP6 RNA polymerase).https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/category-in-vitro-transcription-vector-452.htm
Modified mRNAs can readily be obtained from any DNA template using RNA polymerases in a short time. However, mRNA prepared with enzymatic synthesis may present transcriptional errors, which can only be produced at a laboratory scale, and products may not pure enough for the intended use. An efficient scalable non-enzymatic (chemical) method for mRNA production could solve these problems. https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/custom-chemical-synthesis-of-mrna.htm
Chemical synthesis of single-stranded mRNA molecules is a widely used laboratory procedure that is an alternative strategy of mRNA synthesis for RNA research as well as RNA biopharmaceuticals. This technique is versatile and allows the researcher to tailor the synthesis of short fragments of mRNA and introduce modifications to mRNA.https://mrna.creative-biolabs.com/custom-chemical-synthesis-of-mrna.htm

Glycoproteins are extremely important to a variety of biological processes, including protein folding and trafficking, cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction, cellular differentiation, fertilization, immune response, the initiation and metastasis of tumors. However, the analysis of glycoproteins is a big challenge because of the low abundance, the complexity of the glycan structures, the multiple substitutions (microheterogeneity) at glycosylation sites, and the structural diversity associated with the protein backbone itself. We can provide a series of technologies for glycoprotein detection and analysis.

Glycoproteins are a group of proteins with oligosaccharide chains or glycans covalently attached to amino acid side-chains. These proteins are ubiquitously distributed and play an important role in various biological processes, such as cell signaling, cell-cell interaction, immune recognition, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, the alterations of glycoproteins possess a close relationship with the progression of diseases, such as autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer.

TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing.pdfssuserfac0301
Read Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing to gain insights on AI adoption in the manufacturing industry, such as:
1. How quickly AI is being implemented in manufacturing.
2. Which barriers stand in the way of AI adoption.
3. How data quality and governance form the backbone of AI.
4. Organizational processes and structures that may inhibit effective AI adoption.
6. Ideas and approaches to help build your organization's AI strategy.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
