A BRET-based Mpro biosensor containing a nanobody and tandem cleavage sites shows an increased cleavage rate by Geethakumari, Anupriya M

“…Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations of the predicted alpha-helical synthetic Mpro cleavage sequences revealed a dynamic nature of the cleavage sequences, which is critical for their efficient cleavage, and a relatively short end-to-end distances, which is required for high BRET. Live cell assays revealed a cleavage sequence length-dependent resonance energy transfer, except for the 12× -syn cleavage site, and an increased rate of cleavage and a decreased pharmacological inhibitor efficacy for the Mpro biosensor containing 2× cleavage sequences. …”

Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Figure 1 indicates the transport probabilities as inferred from the Cox regression. As the time spent on scene increases (due to various reasons, among them: spending more time providing clinical treatment and health education because the patient decided not to go to the hospital, or the crew spending more time convincing the patient to go to the hospital by explaining the potential complications of their condition and the potential outcomes of a refusal to go to hospital), the probability of transporting the patient decreases. …”

Reinforcement R-learning model for time scheduling of on-demand fog placement by Farhat, Peter

“…We also demonstrate the ability of our model to improve over time by adapting the new demand of users. Experiments comparing the decisions of our model with two other potential fog placement approaches used for task/service scheduling (threshold based and random based) show that the number of processed requests performed by the cloud decreases from 100 to 30% with a limited number of fogs to push. …”
