Binding Mechanism Of The Active Form Of Molnupiravir To Rdrp Of Sars-Cov-2 And Designing Potential Analogues: Insights From Molecular Dynamics Simulations., Justin Carbone, Nicholas J Paradis, Dylan Brunt, Chun Wu

College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research

Molnupiravir, an FDA-approved nucleoside prodrug for treating COVID-19, converts into N4-hydroxycytidine triphosphate (NHC-TP), which integrates into SARS-CoV-2 RNA by its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) causing lethal mutations in viral proteins. Due to the risk of RdRp-mediated drug resistance and potential off-target effects on host polymerases (e.g., human polymerase II/HPolII), it is crucial to understand NHC-TP interactions at polymerase active sites for developing new, resistance-proof treatments. In this study, we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to probe key interactions between NHC-TP and SARS-CoV-2 RdRp and designed novel NHC-TP analogues with greater selectivity for SARS-CoV-2 RdRp over HPolII by a virtual screening …

Crocodylian Diversity During The Early Eocene Climatic Optimum In The Golden Valley Formation Of North Dakota, U.S.A., Adam P. Cossette, David Tarailo

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Rich bone beds from the lower Eocene strata of the Golden Valley Formation of Stark County, North Dakota reveal a speciose sympatric crocodylian fauna. However, analyses demonstrate limited phylogenetic diversity among these co-occurring taxa, and of the four species known for the locality, three are alligatorids and one is a crocodyloid. Phylogenetic hypotheses recover Chrysochampsa mylnarskii as a late lived member of Brachychampsini—a stem-based clade including Brachychampsa montana and all alligatorids more closely related to it than to Caiman crocodilus or Alligator mississippiensis—and a new genus and species, Ahdeskatanka russlanddeutsche groups with species of Allognathosuchus. The crocodylians, partitioned by body …

Brownfield Topsoil Vertical Heterogeneity: Implications For Germination And Soil Microbial Functioning, Eshariah N. Dyson, Diane F. Hagmann, Cesar Idrovo, Jennifer Adams Krumins, Nina M. Goodey

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Soil vertical heterogeneity refers to the variation in soil properties and composition with depth. In uncontaminated soils, properties including the organic matter content and nutrient concentrations typically change gradually with depth due to natural processes such as weathering, leaching, and organic matter decomposition. In contaminated soils, heavy metals and organic contaminants can migrate vertically through leaching or root uptake and translocation by plants and macrobiota, if present, leading to vertical heterogeneity in contaminant concentrations at different depths. Contaminants can alter soil properties, and we investigated the implications of soil vertical heterogeneity for germination and microbial functioning. We collected soil from …

Intensional Functions, Zachary Palmer, N. W. Filardo, K. Wu

Computer Science Faculty Works

Functions in functional languages have a single elimination form—application—and cannot be compared, hashed, or subjected to other non-application operations. These operations can be approximated via defunctionalization: functions are replaced with first-order data and calls are replaced with invocations of a dispatch function. Operations such as comparison may then be implemented for these first-order data to approximate e.g. deduplication of continuations in algorithms such as unbounded searches. Unfortunately, this encoding is tedious, imposes a maintenance burden, and obfuscates the affected code. We introduce an alternative in intensional functions, a language feature which supports the definition of non-application operations in terms …

A Tale Of Two Bills: Lessons Learned In Expanding Pharmacist-Led Hiv Pre-Exposure And Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, Jennifer M. Cocohoba, Jerika Lam, Maria Lopez, Betty J. Dong

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

"In December 2023, JACCP published a content analysis of state legislative bills focused on expanding pharmacist scope of practice to provide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).¹ All states permit pharmacists to prescribe under a collaborative practice agreement with approximately half of the states granting HIV PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) authority to prescribe either via legislation, standing orders, or statewide protocols.^2-4 New York was the first state to expand pharmacists' specific authority for HIV prevention in 2017; however, California was the first state to pass legislation with Senate Bill 159 …

Sc Teacher Exit Survey: Summary Of Results For 2023–24, Brian Cartiff, Svetlana Dmitrieva, Angela Starrett

Reports

Each year, SC TEACHER administers the SC Teacher Exit Survey to public K–12 classroom teachers who are not renewing their teaching contracts. The survey is designed to offer insights into how working conditions and other factors relate to teachers’ decisions to either teach in another school district or leave the classroom. This report highlights the SC Teacher Exit Survey results for the 2023–24 academic year.

Promoting Healthful And Diverse Eating Behaviours Through An Extracurricular Culinary Skills Intervention In Philadelphia, Matthew D. Kearney, Arlene R. Maheu, Madalyn Booth, Andrew B. Newberg, Peter F. Cronholm, Soussan Ayubcha

SKMC Student Presentations and Publications

In the current study we evaluated an afterschool nutrition education programme, called Vetri Cooking Lab (VCL), for promoting healthy and diverse eating habits among at-risk children in the Greater Philadelphia area. To understand potential programme impacts, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of survey data collected before and after participation in VCL. Main study included cooking confidence, cooking knowledge, changes in dietary consumption behaviours, and changes in vegetable preferences. Participants included students in grades 3-11 enrolled in VCL during the 2018-19 school year at VCL sites (n = 60) throughout Philadelphia, PA, and Camden, NJ. Eligible participants completed surveys both before …
