Mitochondrial dynamics and proteins related to neurodegenerative diseases

Disruptions in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and the occurrence of proteins misfolding lead to neuronal death, resulting in Age-related Dementia and Neurodegenerative diseases as well as Frailty. Functional, neurophysiologic and biochemical alterations within the mitochondrial populations can reveal deficits in brain energy metabolism resulting in Mild Cognitive Impairment, abnormal neural development, autonomic dysfunction and other mitochondrial disorders. Additionally, in cases of Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease, a significant number of proteins seem to form unordered and problematic structures, leading through unknown mechanisms to pathological conditions. While the proteins structure prediction problem is still an open challenge regarding its complexity, several features associated with the correlations of misfolding proteins and Neurodegeneration are discussed in the present study and a computational analysis for the proteins Amyloid Beta, Tau, α-Synuclein, Parkin, Pink1, MFN1, MFN1, OPA1, and DNM1L is also presented. © 2018 Bentham Science Publishers

Towards Unifying Database Scheduling And Concurrency Control: A Frontier Approach

this paper, we develop a scheduling model for uni#ed database scheduling and concurrency control that supports a bi-criteria scheduling approach. Techniques based on this model handle logical consistency, temporal consistency, and the trade-o# between them. The database system designer expresses the trade-o# of logical and temporal consistency based on semantics of the system, mapping both logical consistency and temporal consistency to a common metric called value .Temporal consistency is mapped to a value function that expresses the value of completing a transaction at a certain time. We extend the model of transaction scheduling based on value functions, whichwas #rst developed byLocke#8# and later enhanced by Clark #9# and Jensen #10#. In our model, logical consistency is mapped to a value penalty table that expresses the penaltyvalue associated with the violation of desired orderings of database operations, such as serialization orderings. Our model also includes a frontier plot of all possible schedules of tasks with temporal value on one axis and value penalty on the other. The scheduler chooses the point on the frontier that best meets the system requirements for temporal and logical consistency
