Abstract: Embodiments include simulating the behavior of enzymatic reactions involving multiple substrates binding with an enzyme. Some embodiments may allow for modeling the reactions without requiring known values for kinetic rate constants for microsteps of the reaction. Embodiments may include computer-implemented methods. Methods may include initializing an initial free energy profile for a reaction. The initial free energy profile may include a plurality of initial waypoints. The methods may include generating a plurality of rate equations, each rate equation representing a component step of the plurality of component steps. Methods may include simulating an in silico behavior of the reaction. Simulating may include generating concentrations of the substrates using the plurality of rate equations. Simulating may include updating the plurality of initial waypoints to reduce a difference between the in silico behavior of the reaction and an expected behavior of the reaction, forming a new free energy profile comprising a plurality of updated waypoints.

Abstract: Embodiments include simulating the behavior of enzymatic reactions in silico in place of or in addition to running in vitro experiments. The in silico simulations may involve varying the initial concentrations of the reactant while setting the rate of change of concentration each form of an enzyme to be at steady state, which may aid in realistically representing the kinetics of the reaction. Some embodiments may allow for modeling enzymatic reactions so as to obtain mathematical relationships between the reaction rate and initial concentration of a reactant. Some embodiments may determine rate constants for microscopic steps within the enzymatic reactions. In addition, some embodiments may include optimizing for a plurality of initial reactant concentrations simultaneously rather than optimizing for one initial reactant concentration at a time, in order to generate a velocity versus concentration curve and to determine the catalytic rate constant kcat and Michaelis constant Km.

Abstract: Deep machine learning methods and apparatus related to the manipulation of an object by an end effector of a robot are described herein. Some implementations relate to training an action prediction network to predict a probability density which can include candidate actions of successful grasps by the end effector given an input image. Some implementations are directed to utilization of an action prediction network to visually servo a grasping end effector of a robot to achieve a successful grasp of an object by the grasping end effector.

Abstract: Some implementations herein relate to a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates dynamically partitioning agricultural fields into clusters on an individual agricultural field-basis using agricultural features. A map of a geographic area containing a plurality of agricultural fields may be rendered as part of a GUI. The agricultural fields may be partitioned into a first set of clusters based on a first granularity value and agricultural features of individual agricultural fields. The individual agricultural fields may be visually annotated in the GUI to convey the first set of clusters of similar agricultural fields. Upon receipt of a second granularity value different from the first granularity value, the agricultural fields may be partitioned into a second set of clusters of similar agricultural fields. The map of the geographic area may be updated so that individual agricultural fields are visually annotated to convey the second set of clusters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for visually detecting a halocline. In some implementations, a method includes moving a camera through different depths of water within a fish enclosure, capturing, at the different depths, images of fish, determining that changes in focus in the images correspond to changes in depth that the images were captured, and based on determining that the changes in focus in the images correspond to the changes in depths that the images were captured, detecting a halocline at a particular depth.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining the strain on a cell wall using two models: 1) a short timescale model, describing the relationship between physical properties assumed to be fixed and 2) a long timescale model, describing the dynamic chemical composition of a cell wall. Short term modeling of the physical properties in a cell wall is used to properly understand how physical factors such as osmotic pressure affects the strain on the cell wall, which is in turn used to identify conditions under which a cell wall will cease to function properly or lyse entirely. Although temporally the physical properties which cause cell walls to underperform/lyse can be evaluated under a short time frame, the chemical properties that lead to the physical properties which cause that behavior themselves change over much longer timescales, in a relative sense.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for performing additive manufacturing with concrete. One example is an additive manufacturing print head. The print head includes a body defining an internal flow path, a print nozzle at an outlet of the internal flow path, an auger disposed within the internal flow path, a first microwave emitter, and a second microwave emitter. The auger is operable to convey a concrete mixture towards the print nozzle. The first microwave emitter is operable to alter a viscosity of the concrete moisture within the flow path by directing first microwave energy towards the internal flow path. The second microwave emitter is arranged to direct second microwave energy towards the concrete mixture when it exits the print nozzle.
