Extending the Relative Seriality Formalism for Interpretable Deep Learning of Normal Tissue Complication Probability Models

Tahir I. Yusufaly

We formally demonstrate that the relative seriality model of Kallman, et al. maps exactly onto a simple type of convolutional neural network. This approach leads to a natural inter…

Mapping quorum sensing onto neural networks to understand collective decision making in heterogeneous microbial communities

Tahir Yusufaly, James Q. Boedicker

Microbial communities frequently communicate via quorum sensing (QS), where cells produce, secrete, and respond to a threshold level of an autoinducer (AI) molecule, thereby modula…

Tunable inverse topological heterostructure utilizing

Matthew Brahlek, Nikesh Koirala, Jianpeng Liu +6

In typical topological insulator (TI) systems the TI is bordered by a non-TI insulator, and the surrounding conventional insulators, including vacuum, are not generally treated as…

Spatial Dispersal of Bacterial Colonies Induces a Dynamical Transition From Local to Global Quorum Sensing

Tahir I. Yusufaly, James Q. Boedicker

Bacteria communicate using external chemical signals called autoinducers (AI) in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). QS efficiency is reduced by both limitations of AI diffusio…

5-Methylation of Cytosine in CG:CG Base-Pair Steps: A Physicochemical Mechanism for the Epigenetic Control of DNA Nanomechanics

Tahir I. Yusufaly, Yun Li, Wilma K. Olson

Van der Waals density functional theory is integrated with analysis of a non-redundant set of protein-DNA crystal structures from the Nucleic Acid Database to study the stacking en…
