Acute triangles in triangulations on the plane with minimum degree at least 4
AbstractIn this paper, we show that every maximal plane graph with minimum degree at least 4 and m finite faces other than an octahedron can be drawn in the plane so that at least (m+3)/2 faces are acute triangles. Moreover, this bound is sharp
Attention network for predicting T-cell receptor–peptide binding can associate attention with interpretable protein structural properties
Understanding how a T-cell receptor (TCR) recognizes its specific ligand peptide is crucial for gaining an insight into biological functions and disease mechanisms. Despite its importance, experimentally determining TCR–peptide–major histocompatibility complex (TCR–pMHC) interactions is expensive and time-consuming. To address this challenge, computational methods have been proposed, but they are typically evaluated by internal retrospective validation only, and few researchers have incorporated and tested an attention layer from language models into structural information. Therefore, in this study, we developed a machine learning model based on a modified version of Transformer, a source–target attention neural network, to predict the TCR–pMHC interaction solely from the amino acid sequences of the TCR complementarity-determining region (CDR) 3 and the peptide. This model achieved competitive performance on a benchmark dataset of the TCR–pMHC interaction, as well as on a truly new external dataset. Additionally, by analyzing the results of binding predictions, we associated the neural network weights with protein structural properties. By classifying the residues into large- and small-attention groups, we identified statistically significant properties associated with the largely attended residues such as hydrogen bonds within CDR3. The dataset that we created and the ability of our model to provide an interpretable prediction of TCR–peptide binding should increase our knowledge about molecular recognition and pave the way for designing new therapeutics
Drinfeld comultiplication and vertex operators
For the current realization of the quantum affine algebras, Drinfeld gave a
simple comultiplication of the quantum current operators. With this
comultiplication, we study the related vertex operators for the case of
U_q(\hgtsl_n) and give an explicit bosonization of these new vertex
operators. We use these vertex operators to construct the quantum current
operators of U_q(\hgtsl_n) and discuss its connection with quantum
boson-fermion correspondence.Comment: Amslatex 13 page

Neural Fourier Transform: A General Approach to Equivariant Representation Learning
Symmetry learning has proven to be an effective approach for extracting the
hidden structure of data, with the concept of equivariance relation playing the
central role. However, most of the current studies are built on architectural
theory and corresponding assumptions on the form of data. We propose Neural
Fourier Transform (NFT), a general framework of learning the latent linear
action of the group without assuming explicit knowledge of how the group acts
on data. We present the theoretical foundations of NFT and show that the
existence of a linear equivariant feature, which has been assumed ubiquitously
in equivariance learning, is equivalent to the existence of a group invariant
kernel on the dataspace. We also provide experimental results to demonstrate
the application of NFT in typical scenarios with varying levels of knowledge
about the acting group
Discovery of X rays from Class 0 protostar candidates in OMC-3
We have observed the Orion Molecular Clouds 2 and 3 (OMC-2 and OMC-3) with
the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). The northern part of OMC-3 is found to be
particularly rich in new X-ray features; four hard X-ray sources are located in
and along the filament of cloud cores. Two sources coincide positionally with
the sub- dust condensations of MMS 2 and 3 or an outflow radio source
VLA 1, which are in a very early phase of star formation. The X-ray spectra of
these sources show an absorption column of (1-3) x 10^23 H cm-2. Assuming a
moderate temperature plasma, the X-ray luminosity in the 0.5-10 keV band is
estimated to be ~10^30 erg s^-1 at a distance of 450 pc. From the large
absorption, positional coincidence and moderate luminosity, we infer that the
hard X-rays are coming from very young stellar objects embedded in the
molecular cloud cores. We found another hard X-ray source near the edge of the
dust filament. The extremely high absorption of 3 x 10^23 H cm^-2 indicates
that the source must be surrounded by dense gas, suggesting that it is either a
YSO in an early accretion phase or a Type II AGN (e.g. a Seyfert 2), although
no counterpart is found at any other wavelength. In contrast to the hard X-ray
sources, soft X-ray sources are found spread around the dust filaments, most of
which are identified with IR sources in the T Tauri phase.Comment: 9 pages, To be appeared in ApJ v554 n2 Jun 20, 2001 issue, related
