Abrégé

Efficient lung cancer treatment is challenging due to the lack of therapeutic targets. The succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme plays a critical metabolic role as an intermediate between the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain associated with the cancer disease state. Although several existing compounds have been applied to target metabolic diseases in vitro, modulating SDH for lung cancer treatment has been elusive. By integrating the AtomNet® technology for compound identification with mitochondria- and cell-based enzyme activity assays, this disclosure demonstrates identification of four new small molecules that bind directly to SDH subunits in lung cancer cells. Mechanistically, treatment with these small molecules increased reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in lung cancer cell lines. Functionally, these small molecules reduced short-term and long-term malignant growth of lung cancer cell lines in vitro. This study provides a new therapeutic approach for targeting lung and other types of cancers through modulation of SDH.

An active sparse labeling system that provides high performance and low annotation costs by performing partial instance annotation (i.e., sparse labeling) by frame level selection to annotate the most informative frames, thereby improving action detection task efficiencies. The active sparse labeling system utilizes a frame level cost estimation to determine the utility of each frame in a video based on the frame's impact on action detection. The system includes an adaptive proximity-aware uncertainty model, which is an uncertainty-based frame scoring mechanism. The adaptive proximity-aware uncertainty model estimates a frame's utility using the uncertainty of detections of the frame's proximity to existing annotations, thereby determining a diverse set of frames in a video which are effective for learning the task of dense video understanding (such as action detection). In addition, the active sparse labeling system includes a loss formulation training model (max-Gaussian weighted loss) that uses weighted pseudo-labeling.

Disclosed is a method to amplified nucleic acids by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) without isolation or purification from the biological samples. All the reactions associated with reverse transcriptase qPCR or real-time qPCR are completed on a filter paper chamber using a handheld Real-time PCR device. The process requires a very small amount of sample since there is no loss of materials associated with isolation and purification steps. The amplification process is faster than a normal tube-based PCR reaction because the thin chamber makes heating and cooling process fast. This technique is applicable in the rapid detection of pathogenic viruses from body fluids, such as COVID-19 detection in saliva. The technology is valuable for quantitative detection of nucleic acids that are established markers of diseases. Novel use of a piece of filter paper to perform sample collection, storage, and conduct direct PCR amplification without any extraction of the sample will allow us to test infections and the diseases anywhere by anybody without the requirement of technical knowledge or skills.

Numerous fields of basic research, medicine, and technology require an understanding of the biological composition and diversity in water samples. A common approach to acquiring such information is to collect samples ‘in the field’ and to subsequently extract nucleic acids in a laboratory for sequence analyses. A challenge to this pipeline is the preservation of the abundance and quality of the nucleic acids present in and around the organisms because, once a sample is harvested, it is no longer connected to the environment that established it. Many organisms, particularly microbes, rapidly adapt to such environmental changes and the relative abundance and quality of nucleic acids within them can change in a manner of minutes. A common methodology intended to address this problem is to filter the water to collect microorganisms on site and then to store the filters in a frozen state until they are processed. This technique creates several problems: the filter systems are expensive, require a vacuum, and are cumbersome to operate; the microbes change their metabolisms as they are filtered; freezing the samples requires substantial infrastructure at the collection site and during transport; and freezing and thawing many organisms causes their cells to break open, which releases their nucleic acids. The disclosed invention circumvents these problems by allowing microorganisms and their nucleic acids to be rapidly preserved on site using simple collection vessels, without the need for refrigeration or freezing. The methodology allows for the subsequent recovery and processing of nucleic acids for downstream molecular analyses. Although the current embodiment was developed for sea water collection, it can be also be applied to other aqueous samples

CNN-based methods for cross-view image geo-localization rely on polar transform and fail to model global correlation. A pure transformer-based approach (TransGeo) is described to address these limitations from a different perspective. TransGeo takes full advantage of the strengths of the transformer related to global information modeling and explicit position information encoding. The claimed invention further leverages transformer input's flexibility and discloses an attention-guided non-uniform cropping method so that uninformative image patches are removed with a negligible drop in performance to reduce computation cost. The saved computation can be reallocated to increase resolution only for informative patches, resulting in performance improvement with no additional computation cost. This “attend and zoom-in” strategy is highly similar to human behavior when observing images. Remarkably, TransGeo achieves state-of-the-art results on both urban and rural datasets, with significantly less computation cost than CNN-based methods. It does not rely on polar transform and provides faster methods.

Photoluminescence and electroluminescence are essential characterization techniques for photovoltaics cells and modules. For electroluminescence, the main technical challenge is easily injecting current into the photovoltaic to cause luminescence. The technique described herein enables daylight electroluminescence imaging without the need for external power sources. For photoluminescence, characterization is performed on photovoltaic cells, modules, strings, and arrays in daylight and without temporary mounting of LED modulators. Instead, the modulation is performed using a permanent electronic module installed within the electric circuit on the DC side. This enables automation or triggering of modulation on demand, 100% inspection without changes in hardware configuration because the cells are never shaded and provides a path to high throughput imaging.

Described herein relates to a method for pre-processing files that can improve file compression rates of existing general-purpose lossless file compression algorithms, particularly for files on which traditional algorithms perform poorly. The elementary cellular automata (CA) pre-processing technique involves finding an optimal CA state that can be used to transform an original file into a format (i.e., an intermediary file) that is more amenable to compression than the original file format. This technique is applicable to multiple file types and may be used to enhance multiple compression algorithms. Evaluation on generated files, as well as samples selected from online text repositories, finds that the CA pre-processing technique improves compression rates by up to 4% and shows promising results for assisting in compressing data that typically induce worst-case behavior in standard compression algorithms.

A smart, human-centered technique that uses artificial intelligence and mixed reality to accelerate essential tasks of the inspectors such as defect measurement, condition assessment and data processing. For example, a bridge inspector can analyze some remote cracks located on a concrete pier, estimate their dimensional properties and perform condition assessment in real-time. The inspector can intervene in any step of the analysis/assessment and correct the operations of the artificial intelligence. Thereby, the inspector and the artificial intelligence will collaborate/communicate for improved visual inspection. This collective intelligence framework can be integrated in a mixed reality supported see-through headset or a hand-held device with the availability of sufficient hardware and sensors. Consequently, the methods reduce the inspection time and associated labor costs while ensuring reliable and objective infrastructure evaluation. Such methods offer contributions to infrastructure inspection, maintenance, management practice, and safety for the inspection personnel.

Abrégé

A system and method for disconnection tolerant network routing, termed Binary State Distance Vector Routing (BSDVR). BSDVR provides for unicast routing on partitioned networks by introducing binary state information for distance vector (DV) entries to compute unicast paths. In the presence of network partitions, BSDVR effectively avoids the count-to-infinity problem and operates with control overhead less than traditional DV routing by an order of magnitude, leading to much better convergence times for failures.

An alloy anode for a seawater based aqueous battery and a universal strategy for preparing anodes for use in seawater based aqueous batteries. Zn-M alloys (where M can be manganese or other transition metal) were prepared by co-electrodeposition in the presence of hydrogen bubble formation to produce a porous nanostructured alloy that can serve as an anode for a seawater based aqueous battery. Exemplary Zn—Mn alloy anodes achieved stability over thousands of cycles even under harsh electrochemical conditions, including testing in seawater-based aqueous electrolytes and using a high current density of 80 mA cm−2. The anode design strategy allows for the production of durable electrodes for aqueous batteries and other applications.
