Experimental Test for the Role of Short-Range Correlations in the EMC Effect

Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Abstract:

    This is the International Physics Olympiad Cooperation’s 2024 Beam Line for Schools competition proposal. We aim to utilize deep inelastic scattering (DIS) off metal foil targets to test the SRC hypothesis flavor dependence for the EMC effect.

Elucidating Functional Group Presence by Analyzing IR Spectra with 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks

Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Abstract:

    This paper presents a novel solution to the problem of IR spectrum interpretation by applying a 1-dimensional convolutional neural network to classify molecular spectra as either containing a functional group or not containing a functional group. 16 models were trained using a single general model architecture, and 11 were highly effective with accuracy, precision, recall, F1, and AUC scores, all greater than 90%. Phenomenal classification performance was achieved on aldehydes and ketones, where previous attempts have struggled. Furthermore, a tool was developed to generate saliency maps for each model, allowing for the analysis and study of how the model interprets the IR spectra to make classifications. Our results have applications in fields such as the pharmaceutical industry and drug development, as well as the rapid assay screening of environmental pollutants while being generalizable to be a competitive option for any high-volume IR spectroscopy screening process.

In Silico Design of a Novel Cdc14 Phosphatase Inhibitor in Penicillium Digitatum

Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Abstract:

    P. digitatum is known for causing a host of economically damaging diseases in citriculture such as citrus green mold disease, wreaking havoc on the global and local markets as a whole. We have developed a novel inhibitor for the Penicillium Digitatum Cdc14 phosphatase homolog (PdCdc14) that is predicted to exhibit broad-spectrum fungicidal properties. Cdc14 is an enzyme belonging to the family of dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases, known to play a key role in cell cycle progression within eukaryotes. It exhibits highly conserved activity, structure, and function throughout many fungal species while being absent from land angiosperms, making it an attractive drug target for a broad-spectrum fungicide. Additionally, we have verified a gene predicted to code for a P. digitatum Cdc14 homolog with multiple in vitro activity assays. Three potential inhibitor lead structures were then identified and characterized in vitro.
