#Actinobacteria living inside invertebrates in the Arctic Sea

#Prospecting novel habitats for promising new antibacterial drugs, to solve the global antibiotics crisis

#Global antibiotics crisis | More and more resistant strains of bacteria are evolving | Rate of discovery of fundamentally new antibiotics has been much slower

#Identifying antivirulence and antibacterial metabolites from actinobacteria extracts

#Discovering compound inhibiting enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) virulence without affecting its growth, and growth-inhibiting compound, both in actinobacteria from Arctic Ocean

#Automated testing for tantivirulence and antibacterial effect of hundreds of unknown compounds simultaneously

#EPEC strain | Causing severe diarrhea in children under five | EPEC causes disease by adhering to cells in human gut | Once adhered to these cells, EPEC injects virulence factors into host cell to hijack its molecular machinery, ultimately killing it

#Compounds with strong antivirulence or antibacterial activity: T091-5) in genus Rhodococcus, and another from T160-2 of Kocuria

#Inhibiting formation of actin pedestals by EPEC bacteria, key step by which this pathogen attaches to host gut lining

#Agentic AI | Artificial intelligence systems with a degree of autonomy, enabling them to make decisions, take actions, and learn from experiences to achieve specific goals, often with minimal human intervention | Agentic AI systems are designed to operate independently, unlike traditional AI models that rely on predefined instructions or prompts | Reinforcement learning (RL) | Deep neural network (DNN) | Multi-agent system (MAS) | Goal-setting algorithm | Adaptive learning algorithm | Agentic agents focus on autonomy and real-time decision-making in complex scenarios | Ability to determine intent and outcome of processes | Planning and adapting to changes | Ability to self-refine and update instructions without outside intervention | Full autonomy requires creativity and ability to anticipate changing needs before they occur proactively | Agentic AI benefits Industry 4.0 facilities monitoring machinery in real time, predicting failures, scheduling maintenance, reducing downtime, and optimizing asset availability, enabling continuous process optimization, minimizing waste, and enhancing operational efficiency

#Sea ice loss | Nearly 2.2 million km² of sea ice has been observed since 1979 | Water temperatures rising over 4°C since the 1980s

#Earth energy imbalance | Grew by 0.29 watts per square metre per decade between 1993-2022 | Earth is out of energy balance | Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are trapping excess heat and preventing it from being released into space | Heat building-up of heat in the Earth climate system | Most of building-up is absorbed by ocean

#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
