    Abstract: ... to safeguard the future of the world’s most important and vulnerable water towers. ...

    Abstract Mountains are the water towers of the world, supplying a substantial part of both natural and anthropogenic water demands1,2. They are highly sensitive and prone to climate change3,4, yet their importance and vulnerability have not been quantified at the global scale. Here we present a global water tower index (WTI), which ranks all water towers in terms of their water-supplying role and the downstream dependence of ecosystems and society. For each water tower, we assess its vulnerability related to water stress, governance, hydropolitical tension and future climatic and socio-economic changes. We conclude that the most important (highest WTI) water towers are also among the most vulnerable, and that climatic and socio-economic changes will affect them profoundly. This could negatively impact 1.9 billion people living in (0.3 billion) or directly downstream of (1.6 billion) mountainous areas. Immediate action is required to safeguard the future of the world’s most important and vulnerable water towers.

    Abstract The displacement of the gingival margin below the level of Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ) is referred to as gingival recession. The main indication to treat isolated gingival recession is to increase soft tissue thickness and stability to facilitate plaque control, improve the patient aesthetics and prevent further periodontal breakdown. Though various root coverage techniques are available with numerous regenerative materials, autologous material such as Advanced Plasma Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) along with latest approach by Laterally Closed Tunnel (LCT) technique has been used in present case report as a predictable approach for the treatment of isolated gingival recessions.

    Abstract The loss of key papilla in an unaesthetic zone and the presence of a “black triangle” depicts the requirement for papillary reconstruction. The complete reconstruction of lost papilla is unpredictable; therefore, retention of papilla is very important for aesthetics. There are many causes for loss of papillae and the establishment of “black triangle” between teeth. However, the most common cause is loss of periodontal support due to plaque-associated lesions. However, abnormaility in tooth shape, improper contours of the prosthetic restorations and traumatic oral hygienic procedures may also impact the interdental papilla. The loss of interdental papilla soft tissue causes difficulties in phonetics, aesthetic appearance and lateral food impaction. This case report deals with a variant method of Beagle’s technique 37-year-old systemically healthy male patient with the chief complaint of black space between the upper front teeth region, causing displeasing smile and food entrapment. Intraoral examination done with periodontal probe revealed the loss of 2 mm of interdental papilla. Patient was treated surgically with Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) membrane for papilla reconstruction in the upper anterior aesthetic zone.

    Abstract Introduction: Number of occlusal contacts and uniform bite force distribution during maximum intercuspation are determinants of a good functional occlusion. Distribution of posterior contacts in the three malocclusion groups along with force distribution has been a topic of research. Aim: To quantify the number of occlusal contacts and areas, bite force distribution in Angle’s Class I, II, III subjects using T-scan and to identify the centre of force trajectory. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in the Department of Orthodontics, SRM College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, from June 2018 to December 2018. Total 45 subjects in the age group of 18 to 24 years were divided into three groups of 15 subjects each based on Angle’s classification of malocclusion with teeth in normal line of occlusion. T-Scan system sensor and software were used to record and store data. The collected data were analysed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23.0. The descriptive statistics were performed, followed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Post hoc Tukey test was done to find the difference between the groups. Chi-square test was done for the categorical data and the Paired t-test for determining the significant difference between the bivariate samples in paired groups. Level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Out of three study groups, mean contact points (p<0.001), contact areas (p<0.001) and bite forces (p=0.0032) were statistically highly significant in Angle’s class I group when compared to the other groups. Statistically, the right and the left side differences in force distribution of the three groups were significant with the forces predominantly being higher on the right side. Conclusion: Subjects with Angle’s Class I molar relation had greater contacts, contact area and better bite force distribution. There was preference to the right side in bite force distribution in all the three groups. Centre of force trajectory was concentrated between first and second molars in all the groups.

    Abstract Volunteered geographic information (VGI) encourages citizens to contribute geographic data voluntarily that helps to enhance geospatial databases. VGI’s significant limitations are trustworthiness and reliability concerning data quality due to the anonymity of data contributors. We propose a data-driven model to address these issues on OpenStreetMap (OSM), a particular case of VGI in recent times. This research examines the hypothesis of evaluating the proficiency of the contributor to assess the credibility of the data contributed. The proposed framework consists of two phases, namely, an exploratory data analysis phase and a learning phase. The former explores OSM data history to perform feature selection, resulting in “OSM Metadata” summarized using principal component analysis. The latter combines unsupervised and supervised learning through K-means for user-clustering and multi-class logistic regression for user classification. We identified five major classes representing user-proficiency levels based on contribution behavior in this study. We tested the framework with India OSM data history, where 17% of users are key contributors, and 27% are unexperienced local users. The results for classifying new users are satisfactory with 95.5% accuracy. Our conclusions recognize the potential of OSM metadata to illustrate the user’s contribution behavior without the knowledge of the user’s profile information.

    Abstract: ... structures in the PDB. Results of applying our approach to S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) binding proteins are ...

    Abstract Background: The post-genomic era poses several challenges. The biggest is the identification of biochemical function for protein sequences and structures resulting from genomic initiatives. Most sequences lack a characterized function and are annotated as hypothetical or uncharacterized. While homology-based methods are useful, and work well for sequences with sequence identities above 50%, they fail for sequences in the twilight zone (<30%) of sequence identity. For cases where sequence methods fail, structural approaches are often used, based on the premise that structure preserves function for longer evolutionary time-frames than sequence alone. It is now clear that no single method can be used successfully for functional inference. Given the growing need for functional assignments, we describe here a systematic new approach, designated ligand-centric, which is primarily based on analysis of ligand-bound/unbound structures in the PDB. Results of applying our approach to S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) binding proteins are presented.
    Results: Our analysis included 1,224 structures that belong to 172 unique families of the Protein Information Resource Superfamily system. Our ligand-centric approach was divided into four levels: residue, protein/domain, ligand, and family levels. The residue level included the identification of conserved binding site residues based on structure-guided sequence alignments of representative members of a family, and the identification of conserved structural motifs. The protein/domain level included structural classification of proteins, Pfam domains, domain architectures, and protein topologies. The ligand level included ligand conformations, ribose sugar puckering, and the identification of conserved ligand-atom interactions. The family level included phylogenetic analysis.
    Conclusion: We found that SAM bound to a total of 18 different fold types (I-XVIII). We identified 4 new fold types and 11 additional topological arrangements of strands within the well-studied Rossmann fold Methyltransferases (MTases). This extends the existing structural classification of SAM binding proteins. A striking correlation between fold type and the conformation of the bound SAM (classified as types) was found across the 18 fold types. Several site-specific rules were created for the assignment of functional residues to families and proteins that do not have a bound SAM or a solved structure.
