Quantifying metabolites from various biological samples is necessary for the clinical and biomedical translation of metabolomics research. One of the ongoing challenges in biomedical metabolomics studies is the large-scale quantification of targeted metabolites, mainly due to the complexity of biological sample matrices. Furthermore, in LC-MS analysis, the response of compounds is influenced by their physicochemical properties, chromatographic conditions, eluent composition, sample preparation, type of MS ionization source, and analyzer used. To facilitate large-scale metabolite quantification, we evaluated the relative response factor (RRF) approach combined with an integrated analytical and computational workflow. This approach considers a compound's individual response in LC-MS analysis relative to that of a non-endogenous reference compound to correct matrix effects. We created a quantitative LC-MS library using the Skyline/Panorama web platform for data processing and public sharing of data. In this study, we developed and validated a metabolomics method for over 280 standard metabolites and quantified over 90 metabolites. The RRF quantification was validated and compared with conventional external calibration approaches as well as literature reports. The Skyline software environment was adapted for processing such metabolomics data, and the results are shared as a "quantitative chromatogram library" with the Panorama web application. This new workflow was found to be suitable for large-scale quantification of metabolites in human plasma samples. In conclusion, we report a novel quantitative chromatogram library with a targeted data analysis workflow for biomedical metabolomic applications.

Analyzing the cell interface is of paramount importance in understanding how cells interact and communicate with other cells, but an advanced analytical platform that can process complex and networked interactions between cell surface ligands and receptors is lacking. Herein, we developed the cell-interface-deciphering lipid nanotablet (CID-LNT) for multiplexed real-time cell analysis. LNT is a nanoparticle-tethered lipid bilayer chip where freely diffusing plasmonic nanoparticles induce scattering signal changes.

This study explores the possibility of integrating and retrieving heterogenous data across platforms by using ontology graph databases to enhance educational insights and enabling advanced data-driven decision-making. Motivated by some of the well-known universities and other Higher Education Institutions ontology, this study improvises the existing entities and introduces new entities in order to tackle a new topic identified from the preliminary interview conducted in the study to cover the study objective. The paper also proposes an innovative ontology, referred to as Student Performance and Course, to enhance resource management and evaluation mechanisms on course, students, and MOOC performance by the faculty.

Magic is a property of quantum states that enables universal fault-tolerant quantum computing using simple sets of gate operations. Understanding the mechanisms by which magic is created or destroyed is, therefore, a crucial step towards efficient and practical fault-tolerant computation. We observe that a random stabilizer code subject to coherent errors exhibits a phase transition in magic, which we characterize through analytic, numeric and experimental probes.

Despite their potential, efficiently generating a focused library of candidate molecules that exhibit both effective interactions and structural diversity at a large scale remains a significant challenge. Moreover, current studies often lack comprehensive comparisons to high-throughput virtual screening methods, resulting in insufficient evaluation of their effectiveness.
