"The role of hydrogen in sensitivity-enhanced NMR in analyzing complex mixtures"
Nele Reimets^1,2, Kerti Ausmees¹, Sirje Vija¹, Aleksander Trummal¹, Merle Uudsemaa¹, Indrek Reile¹

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful analytical tool for sample analysis. However, analytes in biofluids often appear in minute concentrations, well below the detection limit of NMR. To improve the NMR sensitivity parahydrogen (pH₂) hyperpolarization (HP) has been adapted for measuring complex mixtures like biofluids. 

High-field non-hydrogenative PHIP (HF-nhPHIP) [1] is a chemoselective method which uses parahydrogen as its hyperpolarization source. Its name “non-hydrogenative” means there is no hydrogenation reaction happening on the analyte and the method does not require sample manipulation. HF-nhPHIP works at high magnetic fields and can quantitatively detect signals orders of magnitude below the usual NMR limit of detection.  

In my talk I will give an overview of my work with HF-nhPHIP over four years. HF-nhPHIP can guide complex mixture analysis [2-5] by giving an estimation of presence and concentration of different molecules in the sample. I will show the richness of analytes in human urine analysed by HF-nhPHIP and demonstrate how specific analyte classes can be detected in urine samples. We believe that with further research and development, HF-nhPHIP could be used to map metabolites and metabolomic pathways that fail to be detected with common analytical tools.

"Impact of memory and heterogeneity on language competition"

Abstract: Various factors affect the outcome of cultural competition. Many language competition models assume prestige as key factor driving the dynamics but other factors, such as memory, are also expected to play a relevant role. Memory effects have been studied in some opinion dynamics model and are known to affect the dynamics of a system. But so far they have not yet been studied systematically in language competition, where it makes sense to assume that language learning and attrition are time-consuming processes. We build a simple cultural dynamics model that incorporates memory. Heterogeneity naturally comes into play, since memory and learning skills are usually diverse. We also explore the role of other factors, such as initial population fractions and average daily interaction rates.

"Hyperparameter optimization using evolutionary algorithms for ML in high energy physics"

Abstract:  In contemporary high energy physics (HEP) experiments the analysis of vast amounts of data represents a major challenge. In order to overcome this challenge various machine learning (ML) methods are employed. A complication arises from the fact that in addition to the choice of the ML algorithm a multitude of algorithm-specific parameters, referred to as hyperparameters, need to be specified in practical applications of ML methods. The optimization of these hyperparameters, which is often performed manually, has a significant impact on the performance of the ML algorithm. In this work we explore two distinct evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization and Bayesian optimization, which allow to determine optimal hyperparameters for a given ML task in a fully automated way. We also studied the capability of these algorithms for utilizing the highly parallel computing architecture that is typical for the field of HEP.

"Modelling of mechanical waves in a myelinated axon"

Abstract: Experimental studies have demonstrated that the signals in nerves have not only electrical components but are accompanied by mechanical and thermal effects as well. A brief overview is given about the previously established model framework for describing a combined nerve signal composed of electrical, mechanical and thermal components propagating on an unmyelinated axon followed by a more recent work done to account for an influence a myelin sheath might have on a mechanical component of such a signal ensemble.

"Magnetic order in square cupola compounds A(BO)Cu4(PO4)4 (AB = PTi, SrTi, KNb)"

In the upcoming presentation on 20.01.2022 14:00 at U02-102 I will talk about our recent research on the newly discovered isostructural compounds A(BO)Cu4(PO4)4 (AB = PTi, SrTi, KNb). The structure consists of square cupolas of magnetic Cu2+ ions that produce quadrupole interaction which allows for the appearance of the magnetoelectric (ME) effect. The ME effect has many potential future applications. In order to reveal the underlying mechanism of how the magnetic environments form in these systems we present a 63,65Cu and 31P NMR study.

"Hubs, diversity, and noise in FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillator networks: Synchronization and Resonances."

Abstract: Using the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo equations to represent the oscillatory electrical behavior of β-cells, we develop a coupled oscillator network model with cubic lattice topology. The emergence of pacemakers or hubs in the system is shown to be a natural consequence of oscillator population diversity [1]; we study also the effect of adding noise and the combined effects of diversity on the global behavior of the oscillator network and its resonant response.

"Developing analytical applications for parahydrogen hyperpolarization: urinary elimination pharmacokinetics of nicotine"

Pharmacokinetics (PK) is essential in modern drug development in order to understand the (bio)chemical processes that a drug undergoes in the body from its intake to excretion. To follow minute concnetrations of analytes in complex mixtures like urine or blood, exceptional resolution and sensitivity is desired. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an attractive choice for PK for it offers straightforward data interpretation and quantitative analysis. However, pharmacologically active compounds and their metabolites in biofluids often appear in minute concentrations, well below the detection limit of NMR. To improve the NMR sensitivity parahydrogen (pH2) hyperpolarization (HP) has been adapted for measuring biofluids [1]. Recent progress in pH2 HP techniques allows multiscan experiments [2], [3] and to resolve complex spectra of urine with 2D spectroscopy [4]. By combining pH2 HP and 2D spectroscopy, it is possible to overcome the NMR sensitivity barrier and detect midnanomolar concentrations of a drug and a drug metabolite in a biofluid matrix [5]. In this presentation, I will discuss how pH2 HP can be applied in pharmacokinetics where precise quantitative and qualitative analysis is desired. As a proof of concept, we measured urine of humans exposed to nicotine and compared two common intake methods – smoking and absorption through skin by using a transdermal patch. We followed urinary elimination of nicotine, and its main metabolite cotinine, and determined their concentrations in urine during the onset and withdrawal from nicotine consumption.

"Nuclear magnetic resonance of the square cupola compounds A(BO)Cu_4(PO_4)_4 (AB = BaTi, SrTi, PbTi, KNb)"

In the upcoming presentation on 30.09.2021 14:00 at U02-102 I will talk about the history and discovery of the magnetoelectric (ME) effect and I will explain the contributing conditions like broken space-time symmetry, spiral driven ordering and geometric frustration. Researchers in Japan (Kimura et al. [1]) have been successful in synthesizing new crystals that exhibit the ME effect in a previously unseen manner. The A(BO)Cu4(PO4)4 compunds comprise of magnetic Cu2+ ions that form so-called square cupola clusters. By cooling the compound we observe a phase shift under the temperature T = 10 K into an antiferromagnetic ordered state. In the overview I will first go through the main characteristics that have been found and then I will focus on the studies made using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. I will introduce the two main articles, published by Islam et al. [2] and by our own team (Rästa et al. [3]). This will be the first presentation of two, in the next presentation I will talk about my current work involving the expansion of these studies.

"Sandy beach evolution in the low-energy microtidal Baltic Sea: attribution of changes to hydrometerological forcing"

The focus is on the evolution of two sandy beaches (Pirita and Russalka) in Tallinn Bay, northeastern Baltic Sea, that are about 3 km apart and oriented differently. A large proportion of annual wave energy flux is packed into a very few days in the year. The wind direction and thereby the direction of the wave fields of the strongest storms in the year determines which coastal areas are most affected. The response of the beaches to hydrometeorological conditions over 12 years, 2008–2020 based on annual high-resolution measurements using airborne and terrestrial laser scanning technology is quantified. The fastest sediment removal from the subaerial beach occurs during time periods with elevated water level and strong waves. Accretion occurs during periods when water level is less elevated. Even though annual variations in the sand volume of subaerial beach are significant, both beaches are stable but respond differently. A comparison of the link between volume changes of the beaches with the monthly average intensity of hydrometeorological drivers suggests a specific mechanism that supports one of the beaches. Sand that is removed from the higher part of Pirita beach and moved to the south and deposited in the shallow nearshore during elevated water levels and north-western storms is transported back to the north in very shallow water during periods of low water level and moderate south-western winds. This mechanism may implicitly stabilise the beaches under bi-directional wind regime.

"Investigating calcium handling proteins in heart cells by employing super-resolution imaging"

Heart failure, and cardiovascular disease in general, continue to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite some advancements in cardiac research, the prevalence of cardiac diseases continues to grow as the population age. Thus, the already massive socioeconomic burden presented by cardiovascular disease is only expected to increase.
The heart cell's contraction is regulated through changes in intracellular calcium concentration, controlled by different calcium handling proteins. During heart diseases, function, arrangement, and quantity of these proteins are altered, resulting in reduced heart blood pumping capacity. However, in the past decades, advancements in optical microscopy have been made, making it a suitable tool for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying these alterations. This talk will focus on studying ryanodine receptors, one of the most prominent calcium-handling proteins in heart cells, at nanoscale resolution using different super-resolution imaging methods.

"Mathematical Modelling of Nerve Signals"

Contemporary systems biology is using widely in silico modelling of biological processes. The fascinating problem of propagation of complex signals in nerve fibres can also be analysed in such a way. The complexity of this process is characterized by the ensemble of waves which is composed by electrical, mechanical and thermal signals in fibres. This reflects the physical complexity of physiological processes. In this talk it is argued how to build up a mathematical model by uniting the equations which govern single waves in structural elements of a fibre into a coupled system. As a proof of concept such a model is presented in which the process is triggered by an electrical impulse following the classical axon physiology. The discussion about modelling is going on concentrating upon the physiological properties biomembranes and bulk matter and what is the most important problem – the character of coupling forces. The numerical simulations help to analyze the coupling effects and causal mechanisms.

"A Bayesian approach to Naming Game model"

We present a novel Bayesian approach to semiotic dynamics, which is a cognitive analogue of the naming game model restricted to two conventions. The one-shot learning that characterizes the agent dynamics in the basic naming game is replaced by a word-learning process, in which agents learn a new word by generalizing from the evidence garnered through pairwise-interactions with other agents. The principle underlying the model is that agents, like humans, can learn from a few positive examples and that such a process is modeled in a Bayesian probabilistic framework. We show that the model presents some analogies but also crucial differences with respect to the dynamics of the basic two-convention naming game model. The model introduced aims at providing a starting point for the construction of a general framework for studying the combined effects of cognitive and social dynamics.

"Universal law for distribution of records"

It will be shown that almost all the ranking lists related to human achievements (e.g. seasonal bests of 100 meters running race) are described by a universal distribution law: numerically described achievement x is a linear function of ra – the rank r taken to a certain power a, with 0<a≤2. This linear law can be extrapolated to the values of r approaching zero, making it possible to estimate, what would be the result of the winner of the race if the selection base were to be much larger than it currently is. In the case of the 100 meters race, such an extrapolation results in x=9.48 seconds, implying that at the current level of technology (running shoes, dietary prescriptions, etc), this is the human limit.
It will be hypothesized that such a law is the result of a quasi-homogeneous distribution of humans over a "fitness space".
