Predicting protein-binding RNA nucleotides using the feature-based removal of data redundancy and the interaction propensity of nucleotide triplets

Several learning approaches have been used to predict RNA-binding amino acids in a protein sequence, but there has been little attempt to predict protein-binding nucleotides in an RNA sequence. One of the reasons is that the differences between nucleotides in their interaction propensity are much smaller than those between amino acids. Another reason is that RNA exhibits less diverse sequence patterns than protein. Therefore, predicting protein-binding RNA nucleotides is much harder than predicting RNA-binding amino acids. We developed a new method that removes data redundancy in a training set of sequences based on their features. The new method constructs a larger and more informative training set than the standard redundancy removal method based on sequence similarity, and the constructed dataset is guaranteed to be redundancy-free. We computed the interaction propensity (IP) of nucleotide triplets by applying a new definition of IP to an extensive dataset of protein-RNA complexes, and developed a support vector machine (SVM) model to predict protein binding sites in RNA sequences. In a 5-fold cross-validation with 812 RNA sequences, the SVM model predicted protein-binding nucleotides with an accuracy of 86.4%, an F-measure of 84.8%, and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.66. With an independent dataset of 56 RNA sequences that were not used in training, the resulting accuracy was 68.1% with an F-measure of 71.7% and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.35. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to predict protein-binding RNA nucleotides in a given RNA sequence from the sequence data alone. The SVM model and datasets are freely available for academics at http://bclab.inha.ac.kr/primer.     

Human-in-the-Loop Insulin Dosing

The last ten years of efforts in developing automated insulin dosing systems have led to one hybrid closed-loop device in the US market with more in the late stages of development. Much of the focus has been on algorithms, including closed-loop, detection of sensor and pump faults, and safety. There has been less discussion in the open literature about user interface design and related options. This article provides perspectives on automated insulin delivery (AID) system design by analyzing commonly used devices, such as bicycles and car entertainment systems. The recent Boeing 737 Max 8 disasters are used to highlight related challenges with AID systems. The role that system engineers can play in the do it yourself artificial pancreas system movement is also discussed. The human-in-the-loop remains by far the most important “component” of any AID system.

ASPECTS OF SIZE, SHAPE AND TEXTURE IN TOUCH: REDUNDANCY AND INTERFERENCE IN CHILDREN''S DISCRIMINATION OF RAISED DOT PATTERNS

Children discriminated tactual dot patterns by size or form and by texture. Adding irrelevant, easy, correlated texture cues improved size and form discrimination while orthogonal irrelevant texture cues interfered. Facilitation and interference could be reversed by reversing dimensional difficulty, but were found also when the two dimensions were equally accurate, for both blindfolded sighted and for blind children. The theoretical implication with regard to age effects, and practical implications for using dot numerosity and dot density differences for Braille learning were discussed.

Effect of movement speed on limb segment motions for reaching from a standing position

The performance of a standing reaching task that necessitates some forward bending requires: (1) the coordination of multiple joints (i.e., the trunk and limb segments) to reach the target, and (2) the preservation of postural stability. It has been proposed that the neural control of multijoint reaching tasks can be simplified by time scaling of joint motions while keeping joint excursions the same. To determine if time scaling of joint motions was used in this more complex reaching task, we had 20 healthy subjects (10 male and 10 female) reach for two targets located in a parasagittal plane while standing on a force platform. Subjects reached for the targets at a comfortable speed and a fast paced speed. Sagittal plane motions of the right shank, thigh, pelvis, trunk, humerus, and forearm were measured. At the fast paced movement speeds subjects had significantly larger excursions of the thigh, pelvis, humerus, and forearm compared to the comfortable speed. Thus, segment motions are not simply time scaled for standing multijoint reaches. We explored three possible reasons for not obeying time scaling: (1) to reduce scaling of peak kinetic energy, (2) to reduce scaling of peak horizontal ground reaction force, and (3) a convergence of movement strategies at faster speeds. While subjects modified their movement strategy in relationship to movement speed, these changes had no significant effect on the expected scaling of peak kinetic energy, or peak horizontal ground reaction forces. Given the intersubject differences in movement strategies used to perform these reaching tasks at the fast speeds, a convergence of movement strategies was ruled out. We propose that the increase in segment motions with speed may be a consequence of rules underlying motor output, the increases being greater for segments in which viscoelastic resistance to movement is more significant compared to inertial resistance.
