Article Abstract

Non-uniform sampling in multidimensional NMR shows great promise to significantly decrease experimental acquisition times, especially for relaxation experiments for which peak locations are already known. In this paper we present a method for optimizing the non-uniform sampling points such that the noise amplification and numerical instabilities are minimized. In particular, the minimum singular value of the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse is maximized using sequential semi-definite programming, thereby minimizing the worst-case errors. We test this method numerically on a set of assignment data from the proteins ubiquitin (in both folded and unfolded states) and RIalpha (119-244), a cAMP-binding regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). This test indicates that optimizing more than doubles the efficiency over random selection of points, and the efficiency increases as we go to higher dimensions.

Electroporation is a promising technology utilizing electrical pulses for macromolecule delivery and soft-tissue ablation, with applications that include next-generation prophylactics and the treatment of genetic diseases such as cancer. This study demonstrates a high-throughput capable 3D tissue culture model for quantification of the reversible and irreversible electroporation thresholds for a given electroporation protocol. By using a non-uniform electric field and analyzing the spatial distribution of transfected cells, both reversible and irreversible thresholds can be identified within a single sample, increasing the efficiency at which electroporation protocols can be characterized, especially for in vivo translation.

NMR spectroscopy is a versatile technique for studies of molecular structures, dynamic processes, and intermolecular interactions across a broad range of systems, including small molecules, macromolecules, biomolecular assemblies, and materials in both solution and solid-state environments. As the complexity of NMR studies continues to pose challenges for practitioners, the integration of machine learning is recognized as a promising research direction for improving data acquisition, processing, and analysis. Here, we summarize recent findings in this area, highlighting common applications such as signal detection, chemical shift assignment, structure determination, chemical shift prediction, non-uniform sampling reconstruction, and denoising.

A cryogenic tensile testing system for in situ neutron diffraction measurement, incorporating macroscopic strain distribution measurement through the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method, was developed. By integrating this system with a versatile horizontal load frame, tensile tests can be conducted within the temperature range from room temperature to 20 K. A tentative measurement combining in situ neutron diffraction and the DIC technique was performed on an ultrafine-grained 304 stainless steel during tensile deformation at 77 K.

Background: Free-breathing gated cone-beam computed tomography (gCBCT), which captures a specific anatomy coinciding with a preset gating window in the breathing cycle, is routinely prescribed to gating lung SBRT patients for pretreatment setup verification. However, a half-fan gCBCT scan can take 2-8 min (for a typical gating duty cycle of 30%-60% and patient breathing period of 3-6 s) on a C-arm linear accelerator because the gantry movement is interrupted and resumed by the respiratory gating signal multiple times over the scan. The long scan time increases patient on-table time, leading to discomfort and a higher likelihood of patient movement.

PAC-Bayes Guarantees for Data-Adaptive Pairwise Learning.

We study the generalization properties of stochastic optimization methods under adaptive data sampling schemes, focusing on the setting of pairwise learning, which is central to tasks like ranking, metric learning, and AUC maximization. Unlike pointwise learning, pairwise methods must address statistical dependencies between input pairs-a challenge that existing analyses do not adequately handle when sampling is adaptive. In this work, we extend a general framework that integrates two algorithm-dependent approaches-algorithmic stability and PAC-Bayes analysis for this purpose.
