Data_Sheet_1_Modeling Learner Heterogeneity: A Mixture Learning Model With Responses and Response Times.pdf
The increased popularity of computer-based testing has enabled researchers to collect various types of process data, including test takers' reaction time to assessment items, also known as response times. In recent studies, the relationship between speed and accuracy in a learning setting was explored to understand students' fluency changes over time in applying the mastered skills in addition to skill mastery. This can be achieved by modeling the changes in response accuracy and response times throughout the learning process. We propose a mixture learning model that utilizes the response times and response accuracy. Such a model accounts for the heterogeneities in learning styles among learners and may provide instructors with valuable information, which can be used to design individualized instructions. A Bayesian modeling framework is developed for parameter estimation and the proposed model is evaluated through a simulation study and is fitted to a real data set collected from a computer-based learning system for spatial rotation skills.</p

DataSheet1_MM/PB(GB)SA benchmarks on soluble proteins and membrane proteins.pdf
Predicting protein-ligand binding free energy rapidly and accurately remains a challenging question in modern drug discovery. Molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann (Generalized Born) surface area (MM/PB(GB)SA) has emerged as an essential tool for accelerating cost-efficient binding free energy calculation. This study presents benchmarks with three membrane-bound protein systems and six soluble protein systems. Different parameters were sampled for different benchmarks to explore the highest accuracy. These include ligand charges, protein force fields, extra points, GB models, nonpolar optimization methods, internal dielectric constants and membrane dielectric constants. Comparisons of accuracy were made between MM/PB(GB)SA, docking and free energy perturbation (FEP). The results reveal a competitive performance between MM/PB(GB)SA and FEP. In summary, MM/PB(GB)SA is a powerful approach to predict ligand binding free energy rapidly and accurately. Parameters of MM/PB(GB)SA calculations, such as the GB models and membrane dielectric constants, need to be optimized for different systems. This method can be served as a powerful tool for drug design.</p
Multifunctional Self-Assembled Block Copolymer/Iron Oxide Nanocomposite Hydrogels Formed from Wormlike Micelles
This article reports the preparation of multifunctional
magnetic
nanocomposite hydrogels formed from wormlike micelles. Specifically,
iron oxide nanoparticles were incorporated into a temperature responsive
block copolymer, poly(glycerol monomethacrylate)-b-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (PGMA-b-PHPMA),
and graphene oxide (GO) dispersion at a low temperature (∼2
°C) through high-speed mixing and returning the mixture to room
temperature, resulting in the formation of nanocomposite gels. The
optimal concentrations of iron oxide and GO enhanced the gel strength
of the nanocomposite gels, which exhibited a strong magnetic response
when a magnetic field was applied. These materials retained the thermoresponsiveness
of the PGMA–PHPMA wormlike micelles allowing for a solid-to-liquid
transition to occur when the temperature was reduced. The mechanical
and rheological properties and performance of the nanocomposite gels
were demonstrated to be adjustable, making them suitable for a wide
range of potential applications. These nanocomposite worm gels were
demonstrated to be relatively adhesive and to act as strain and temperature
sensors, with the measured electrical resistance of the nanocomposite
gels changing with applied strain and temperature sweeps. The nanocomposite
gels were found to recover efficiently after the application of high
shear with approximately 100% healing efficiency within seconds. Additionally,
these nanocomposite worm gels were injectable, and the addition of
GO and iron oxide nanomaterials seemed to have no significant adverse
impact on the biocompatibility of the copolymer gels, making them
suitable not only for 3D printing in nanocomposite engineering but
also for potential utilization in various biomedical applications
as an injectable magnetic responsive hydrogel
