    Iterative regularization for learning with convex loss functions

    No full text
    We consider the problem of supervised learning with convex loss functions and propose a new form of iterative regularization based on the subgradient method. Unlike other regularization approaches, in iterative regularization no constraint or penalization is considered, and generalization is achieved by (early) stopping an empirical iteration. We consider a nonparametric setting, in the framework of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and prove consistency and finite sample bounds on the excess risk under general regularity conditions. Our study provides a new class of efficient regularized learning algorithms and gives insights on the interplay between statistics and optimization in machine learning. ©2016 Junhong Lin, Lorenzo Rosasco and Ding-Xuan Zhou

    Counteracting loneliness: on the restorative function of nostalgia

    No full text
    Four studies tested whether nostalgia can counteract reductions in perceived social support caused by loneliness. Loneliness reduced perceptions of social support but increased nostalgia. Nostalgia, in turn, increased perceptions of social support. Thus, loneliness affected perceived social support in two distinct ways. Whereas the direct effect of loneliness was to reduce perceived social support, the indirect effect of loneliness was to increase perceived social support via nostalgia. This restorative function of nostalgia was particularly apparent among resilient persons. Nostalgia is a psychological resource that protects and fosters mental health

    The relationship of the ADP-ribosylating enzyme from S. solfataricus with DING proteins and its intracellular localization

    No full text
    The PARPSso thermoprotein from Sulfolobus solfataricus has been identified as a PARP-like enzyme that cleaves -NAD+ to synthesize oligomers of ADP-ribose and cross-reacts with polyclonal anti-PARP-1 catalytic site antibodies. Despite the biochemical properties that allow to correlate it to PARP enzymes, the N-terminal and partial amino acid sequence suggest the sulfolobal enzyme belongs to a different class of enzymes, the DING proteins. Considering the high sequence identity with the human DING protein HPBP and the lack of a nucleotide coding sequence in both human and sulfolobal genomes, we hypothesized that PARPSso might share other features with the human DING. Further analysis of PARPSso amino acid sequence addressed the research towards studying other possible similarities between human and sulfolobal protein and then to explain how PARPSso correlates with canonic PARPs. For the latter question, the peculiar behaviour of the thermozyme, that is biochemically, but not structurally related to the classic PARPs, stimulated to investigate by computational analysis and databank, whether the protein might be phylogenetically related to any already known PARP amino acid sequence. Moreover, immunochemical and enzymatic crossed analyses were performed to establish whether purified HPBP and PARPSso have common immunoreactive and functional behaviour. The second part of the research was focused on the localization of PARPSso within the sulfolobal cell. Our interest to this item arose from the property of some DING proteins to be membrane bound, suggested to work as membrane transporters. On the other hand, from previous studies, it is known that PARPSso is only partially solubilized from the starting cell homogenate provided by ICMIB (CNR), and the soluble enzyme is strictly associated with DNA. In this thesis work, whole cells collected by centrifugation from culture medium were subjected to a different extraction procedure. This procedure included also experimental conditions used to differentiate between soluble (i.e. cytoplasmic) and insoluble (i.e. membrane-bound) protein fractions. PARPSso and DNA distributions were determined by enzyme assay, immunoblotting and agarose gel electrophoresis. Reciprocal interactions of thermozyme, nucleic acid and membrane lipids were investigated with different techniques and methodologies (nucleoid preparation, fluorescence binding assays, fluorescence microscopy analysis)
