SUMMARY:Shweta Singh PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Announcing:\nPhD Dissertation Defense \nName:\nShweta Singh \nTitle:\nA Qualitative Approach for Learning and Detection of Emergent Behaviors \nDate:\n4/25/2024 \nTime:\n9:30:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Mieczyslaw M. Kokar (Advisor)\nProf. Taskin Padir\nDr. Paul Kogut \nAbstract:\nEmergence has been studied in various fields\, including engineering\, computer science\, and economics. However\, there is no agreed-upon definition of what emergence means. As a result\, it remains a debatable topic among researchers who want to understand and use emergence to engineer their systems. In this thesis\, we are targeting two issues related to the domain of emergence.\nFirst\, we introduce a framework that enables researchers to encode key aspects of emergence theories into an ontology using the Emergence Metaontology. This metaontology provides the basic vocabulary specialized to the domain of emergence. Researchers will be able to add their theories to those that are already encoded\, and then use queries to examine and compare these theories. OWL reasoners can infer new facts and possibly identify inconsistencies between conflicting theories. This will allow researchers to gain a greater understanding of the existing emergence theories. To the best of our knowledge\, this research is the first attempt in the emergence domain to use a query-supported ontological approach to encode and compare multiple theories of emergence.\nThe second contribution is algorithms for detecting the onset of emergence at the beginning of a possibly irreversible emergent behavior. The approach to accelerate the detection of emergence is based on transforming the values of the variables of a system into a different space and then running detection in that space. The first transformation relies on the property of self-similarity – when the values of system variables are in a specific relation. Such relations formalize hypersurfaces in the quantitative system space. The second kind of transformation utilizes qualitative abstraction of the general dynamical system using the $Q^2$ (Quantitative-Qualitative) approach. The quantitative variables of a general dynamical system are mapped to qualitative variables (hypersurfaces)\, leading to the representation of the monitored dynamical system as a Qualitative Dynamical system (QDS).  Detection of emergence is then implemented as a process of analyzing the behavior of the QDS. The efficiency of the approach has been validated on multiple simulations of dynamical systems.

DESCRIPTION:Oral administration of peptides: The quest to improve bioavailability \nThe oral administration of peptides and proteins remains one of the great challenges in pharmaceutical science. Efficacy depends on patients committing to take essential medicines and this is built upon the convenience of a dosing regimen using a patient-friendly route of administration. Large molecules have problems negotiating the GI tract to achieve systemic delivery due to instability against metabolizing enzymes and low permeability across the epithelium. To date\, just five linear peptides aimed at systemic delivery have been approved by the FDA\, the most recent being oral semaglutide (Rybelsus®\, Novo Nordisk\, 2019) and oral octreotide (Mycappsa®\, Chiasma Ltd\, 2020). These approvals heralded a renewed interest in the field\, built around developing Glucagon-1-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) mimetics for Type II diabetes and obesity\, alone or as a dual agonist with other gut peptides. Relative success to date for oral peptides has been achieved with standard oral dosage forms made with permeation enhancers\, but these will only work for niche peptides with high potency and long half-lives. \nMy group has been working on the mechanism of action of the intestinal permeation enhancers that typically are used to enable these formulations\, albeit that oral bioavailability with the above products is less than 1%. We have focussed on comparisons between sodium caprate and SNAC\, both medium-chain fatty acid derivatives\, and found that they have multimodal actions suggesting a dual effects on tight junctions and the intestinal epithelial plasma membrane depending on the concentration and the bioassay. We also have contributed to the search for other permeation enhancers (alone and combination) that can be used with peptides in oral dosage forms including the Gattefosse excipients\, Labrasol® and Labrafac™. We are working on a nanotechnology concept\, where we have achieved 7% bioavailability for insulin in a rat model using a core-shell construct based on silica coating over a core of peptide and the excipients\, L-arginine\, and zinc. Finally\, devices may eventually be able to increase the oral bioavailability of peptides by an order of magnitude over permeation enhancers according to data from animal models\, but clinical testing is at an early stage and the toxicology and the regulatory pathway for these types of technologies have yet to be addressed. I will touch on aspects and examples of these multiple approaches in my talk at Northeastern. \n\nDavid Brayden is Full Professor of Advanced Drug Delivery at the School of Veterinary Medicine and a Fellow of the UCD Conway Institute.
