Converting antimicrobial into targeting peptides reveals key features governing protein import into mitochondria and chloroplasts

Author(s): Caspari OD; Garrido C; Law CO; Choquet Y; Wollman FA; Lafontaine I;

We asked what peptide features govern targeting to the mitochondria versus the chloroplast using antimicrobial peptides as a starting point. This approach was inspired by the endosymbiotic hypothesis that organelle-targeting peptides derive from antimicrobial amphipathic peptides delivered by the host cell, to which organelle progenitors became resistant. ...

Musicians and non-musicians show different preference profiles for single chords of varying harmonic complexity

Author(s): Witek MAG; Matthews T; Bodak R; Blausz MW; Penhune V; Vuust P;

The inverted U hypothesis in music predicts that listeners prefer intermediate levels of complexity. However, the shape of the liking response to harmonic complexity and the effect of musicianship remains unclear. Here, we tested whether the relationship between liking and harmonic complexity in single chords shows an inverted U shape and whether this U s ...

Biomolecules incorporated in halide perovskite nanocrystals: synthesis, optical properties, and applications

Author(s): Aminzare M; Jiang J; Mandl GA; Mahshid S; Capobianco JA; Dorval Courchesne NM;

Halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) have emerged at the forefront of nanomaterials research over the past two decades. The physicochemical and optoelectronic properties of these inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles can be modulated through the introduction of various ligands. The use of biomolecules as ligands has been demonstrated to improve the stab ...

A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for data-driven distance learning recommendations

Author(s): Alshamsi AM; El-Kassabi H; Serhani MA; Bouhaddioui C;

Distance learning has been adopted as an alternative learning strategy to the face-to-face teaching methodology. It has been largely implemented by many governments worldwide due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implication in enforcing lockdown and social distancing. In emergency situations distance learning is referred to as Emergency Remo ...

Curriculum-Based Dynamic Assessment of Narratives for Bilingual Filipino Children

Author(s): Laurie A; Pesco D;

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists need tools that can accurately estimate bilingual children's language abilities and thus help avoid misdiagnoses. This study addresses this need by investigating the accuracy of a novel curriculum-based dynamic assessment of narratives in distinguishing bilingual children with language difficulties (LDs) from chil ...

Relationship Quality and Mental Health Implications for Adolescents during the COVID-19 Pandemic: a Longitudinal Study

Author(s): Afriat M; De France K; Stack DM; Serbin LA; Hollenstein T;

Although parent-adolescent and peer-adolescent relationship quality are critical for adolescent wellbeing during typical stressful life events, the unique features of the COVID-19 pandemic put into question whether strong parent-adolescent and peer-adolescent relationship quality functioned as protective factors of adolescent mental health in this context ...

Deep learning approach to security enforcement in cloud workflow orchestration

Author(s): El-Kassabi HT; Serhani MA; Masud MM; Shuaib K; Khalil K;

Supporting security and data privacy in cloud workflows has attracted significant research attention. For example, private patients' data managed by a workflow deployed on the cloud need to be protected, and communication of such data across multiple stakeholders should also be secured. In general, security threats in cloud environments have been stud ...
