The document summarizes the structure and function of the mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS) in bacterial cells. MscS acts as a floodgate, allowing bacteria to release water from their cells in response to osmotic shock. The structure of MscS was elucidated in 2008, revealing its heptameric structure and iris-like opening mechanism using the movement of transmembrane helices. This structural insight helped explain how MscS is able to rapidly release water and ions from cells under osmotic pressure, as well as its ability to adapt when pressure returns to normal levels. While the structure provided significant understanding, many questions remain regarding the detailed mechanisms of gating, adaptation, and M
Intramembrane proteases are a family of proteases that function within cell membranes. They were discovered in 1997 and represent a new class of proteases that use different mechanisms than the traditional water-soluble protease classes. Structural studies have provided insights into their catalytic mechanisms and gating movements that allow substrate access despite operating in the low-water environment of membranes. Further research is still needed to understand aspects of intramembrane protease structure, function, and regulation.
Quazar Technologies develops indigenously data acquisition systems and other scientific instrumentation. It aims to support research in India through high-quality, customized products. Its data acquisition systems (QDA) are tailored solutions for applications like structural vibration monitoring, temperature measurement, and strain gauge testing. The QDA systems integrate modular hardware and software and can be adapted over time based on customer needs and feedback. Quazar has installed QDA systems at several research institutions in India.
This document summarizes a student project to measure local density of states using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) techniques. The student demonstrated STS on three samples - gold, highly ordered pyrolytic graphite, and bismuth telluride. Several images of each sample's surface topology and conductance maps were obtained. Spectroscopy data was also collected by averaging 30 sweeps to reduce thermal drift effects. Further work is needed to convert the data to standard units and characterize tip quality to obtain fully quantitative results.
This document discusses programming on Linux. It covers the Linux command line, text editors like vim and nano, compiling code using tools like gcc and g++, and running programs. It also mentions integrated development environments (IDEs) and compiling/running languages like C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, Lisp, HTML/PHP/CSS, and Fortran.

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
油
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying its good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation thats least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state theyre comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
油
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
油
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
