A nonlinear model describing the relationship between the biosurfactant concentration as a process output and the critical medium components as the independent variables was developed by artificial neural network modeling. The model was optimized for the maximum biosurfactant production by using genetic algorithm. Based on a single-factor-at-a-time optimization strategy, the critical medium components were found to be glucose, urea, SrCl(2) and MgSO(4). The experimental results obtained from a statistical experimental design were used for the modeling and optimization by linking an artificial neural network (ANN) model with genetic algorithm (GA) in MATLAB. Using the optimized concentration of critical elements, the biosurfactant yield showed close agreement with the model prediction. An enhancement in biosurfactant production by approximately 70% was achieved by this optimization procedure.

Background: The accumulation of abnormal tau protein in neurons and glia in the human brain is the defining feature of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), the most common primary tauopathy, is typified by selective vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons and glia in the midbrain leading to an atypical parkinsonian movement disorder. To investigate candidate disease mechanisms underlying PSP, there is a critical need for model systems that more accurately recapitulate the cellular and molecular environment in the human brain.

Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is the most common primary tauopathy, with a constellation of pathological features including 4R-tau positive neurofibrillary tangles and tufted astrocytes. Most PSP cases are sporadic and associated with common structural variation in the 17q21.31 MAPT locus as well as other loci, including EIF2AK3 which is critical for the integrated stress response (ISR).

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Early and accurate diagnosis of AD is crucial for patient information, advance planning, and potentially effective intervention and treatment. The integration of machine learning techniques with brain connectome graphs, encompassing both structural and functional brain connectomes, can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of AD diagnosis.

Background: Lewy body (LB) diseases can present with overlapping prodromal, cognitive, motor, autonomic or neuropsychiatric symptoms. Intuitively, greater symptom severity should correlate with greater pathological burden, but this has not been consistently shown. LB pathology does not translate to clinical expression in Incidental LB disease.

Protein phosphorylation is dynamically and reversibly regulated by protein kinases and protein phosphatases, and plays an essential role in orchestrating a wide range of biological processes. Although a number of tools have been developed for predicting kinase-specific phosphorylation sites (p-sites), computational prediction of phosphatase-specific dephosphorylation sites remains to be a great challenge. In this study, we manually curated 4393 experimentally identified site-specific phosphatase-substrate relationships for 3463 dephosphorylation sites occurring on phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, and/or phosphotyrosine residues, from the literature and public databases.
