    Abstract Wastewater is an underleveraged resource; it contains pollutants that can be transformed into valuable high-purity products. Innovations in chemistry and chemical engineering will play critical roles in valorizing wastewater to remediate environmental pollution, provide equitable access to chemical resources and services, and secure critical materials from diminishing feedstock availability.

    Abstract Numerous studies have shown how periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs) bind substrates with exquisite specificity, even distinguishing between sugar epimers and anomers, or structurally similar ions. Yet, marked substrate promiscuity is also a feature encoded in some PBPs. Except for three sub-Ångström crystal structures, there are no reports of hydrogen atom positions in the remaining (> 1000) PBP structures. The previous X-ray crystal structure of the maltodextrin periplasmic-binding protein from Thermotoga maritima (tmMBP) complexed with oligosaccharide showed a large network of interconnected water molecules stretching from one end of the substrate binding pocket to the other. These water molecules are positioned to form multiple hydrogen bonds, as well as forming interactions between the protein and substrate. Here we present the neutron crystal structure of tmMBP to a resolution of 2.1 Å. This is the first neutron crystal structure from the PBP superfamily and here we unambiguously identify the nature and orientation of the hydrogen bonding and water-mediated interactions involved in stabilizing a tetrasaccharide in the binding site. More broadly, these results demonstrate the conserved intricate mechanisms that underlie substrate-specificity and affinity in PBPs.

    Abstract Semi-field and field studies on honey bees using colonies are necessary to obtain more biologically relevant data, but are often hampered by logistic constraints. The use of small colonies in miniature hives is regarded as an acceptable approach to such studies, but the equipment designed for commercial and hobby beekeepers may not be appropriate or effective for research purposes. Here, we propose a novel integrated system of research equipment in which each item is designed and built in a coordinated fashion to improve speed, ease, reliability, and accuracy. The system is built around the Study Frame and includes a converter hive, photographic equipment, and combined floor, stand, varroa tray, dead bee trap, and pollen trap, thereby allowing for a wide range of scientific purposes.

    Abstract Being able to accurately model metastasis is an important tool in cancer research. Several in vitro and ex vivo models have been developed to model metastasis from the ovary to the omentum, the most frequent metastatic site after leaving the ovary. However, the recent discovery that high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) can originate in the fallopian tube and then metastasize to the ovary has necessitated the development of assays that can quantify the adhesion of tumor cells to the ovary. Here we describe a protocol for accessing the adhesion of fluorescent cells to mouse ovaries. This assay can be used to investigate the role of ovarian function, hormones, and adhesion molecules in metastasis of cancer cells originating in the fallopian tube to the ovary, an important step in the progression of HGSOC.

    Abstract Purpose: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging targeted prostate cancer (PCa) biopsy enables precise sampling of MR-detected lesions, establishing its importance in recommended clinical practice. Planning for the ultrasound-guided procedure involves pre-selecting needle sampling positions. However, performing this procedure is subject to a number of factors, including MR-to-ultrasound registration, intra-procedure patient movement and soft tissue motions. When a fixed pre-procedure planning is carried out without intra-procedure adaptation, these factors will lead to sampling errors which could cause false positives and false negatives. Reinforcement learning (RL) has been proposed for procedure plannings on similar applications such as this one, because intelligent agents can be trained for both pre-procedure and intra-procedure planning. However, it is not clear if RL is beneficial when it comes to addressing these intra-procedure errors.
    Methods: In this work, we develop and compare imitation learning (IL), supervised by demonstrations of predefined sampling strategy, and RL approaches, under varying degrees of intra-procedure motion and registration error, to represent sources of targeting errors likely to occur in an intra-operative procedure.
    Results: Based on results using imaging data from 567 PCa patients, we demonstrate the efficacy and value in adopting RL algorithms to provide intelligent intra-procedure action suggestions, compared to IL-based planning supervised by commonly adopted policies.
    Conclusions: The improvement in biopsy sampling performance for intra-procedure planning has not been observed in experiments with only pre-procedure planning. These findings suggest a strong role for RL in future prospective studies which adopt intra-procedure planning. Our open source code implementation is available here .

    Abstract Background and aims: Higher truncated-to-native proteoform ratios of apolipoproteins (apo) C-I (C-I'/C-I) and C-II (C-II'/C-II) are associated with less atherogenic lipid profiles. We examined prospective relationships of C-I'/C-II and C-II'/C-II with coronary heart disease (CHD) and coronary artery calcium (CAC).
    Methods: ApoC-I and apoC-II proteoforms were measured by mass spectrometry immunoassay in 5790 MESA baseline plasma samples. CHD events (myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, fatal CHD, n = 434) were evaluated for up to 17 years. CAC was measured 1-4 times over 10 years for incident CAC (if baseline CAC = 0), and changes (follow-up adjusted for baseline) in CAC score and density (if baseline CAC>0).
    Results: C-II'/C-II was inversely associated with CHD (n = 434 events) after adjusting for non-lipid cardiovascular risk factors (Hazard ratio: 0.89 [95% CI: 0.81-0.98] per SD), however, the association was attenuated after further adjustment for HDL levels (0.93 [0.83-1.03]). There was no association between C-I'/C-I and CHD (0.98 [0.88-1.08]). C-II'/C-II was positively associated with changes in CAC score (3.4% [95%CI: 0.6, 6.3]) and density (6.3% [0.3, 4.2]), while C-I'/C-I was inversely associated with incident CAC (Risk ratio: 0.89 [95% CI: 0.81, 0.98]) in fully adjusted models that included plasma lipids. Total apoC-I and apoC-II concentrations were not associated with CHD, incident CAC or change in CAC score.
    Conclusions: Increased apoC-II truncation was associated with reduced CHD, possibly explained by differences in lipid metabolism. Increased apoC-I and apoC-II truncations were also associated with less CAC progression and/or development of denser coronary plaques.
