Conservation beyond biopolitics: Vulnerability and abundance in Chennai's nature‐cultures
Short Abstract This paper examines a breadth of natures and nature practices in Chennai, India, to illuminate the socio‐material processes that undermine some natures even while supporting others, and to highlight paradoxical responses to nonhuman agencies and resilience within the domain of ecological concern.

Rapid purification of serine proteinases from Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops moojeni venoms [PDF]
Envenomation by Bothrops species results, among other symptoms, in hemostatic disturbances. These changes can be ascribed to the presence of enzymes, primarily serine proteinases some of which are structurally similar to thrombin and specifically cleave ...

Can Large Language Models Design Biological Weapons? Evaluating Moremi Bio [PDF]
Advances in AI, particularly LLMs, have dramatically shortened drug discovery cycles by up to 40% and improved molecular target identification. However, these innovations also raise dual-use concerns by enabling the design of toxic compounds. Prompting Moremi Bio Agent without the safety guardrails to specifically design novel toxic substances, our ...

Computational Studies of Snake Venom Toxins
Most snake venom toxins are proteins, and participate to envenomation through a diverse array of bioactivities, such as bleeding, inflammation, and pain, cytotoxic, cardiotoxic or neurotoxic effects.

VENOM: Text-driven Unrestricted Adversarial Example Generation with Diffusion Models [PDF]
Adversarial attacks have proven effective in deceiving machine learning models by subtly altering input images, motivating extensive research in recent years. Traditional methods constrain perturbations within $l_p$-norm bounds, but advancements in Unrestricted Adversarial Examples (UAEs) allow for more complex, generative-model-based manipulations ...

Partially Directed Snake Polyominoes [PDF]
The goal of this paper is to study the family of snake polyominoes. More precisely, we focus our attention on the class of partially directed snakes. We establish functional equations and length generating functions of two dimensional, three dimensional and then $N$ dimensional partially directed snake polyominoes.

Processing of Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: Generation of Toxin Diversity and Enzyme Inactivation
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are abundant in the venoms of vipers and rattlesnakes, playing important roles for the snake adaptation to different environments, and are related to most of the pathological effects of these venoms in human victims.
