text: Motility is a basic feature of living microorganisms, and how it works is
often determined by environmental cues. Recent efforts have focused on developing
artificial systems that can mimic microorganisms, in particular their self-propulsion.
We report on the design and characterization of synthetic self-propelled particles
that migrate upstream, known as positive rheotaxis. This phenomenon results from
a purely physical mechanism involving the interplay between the polarity of the
particles and their alignment by a viscous torque. We show quantitative agreement
between experimental data and a simple model of an overdamped Brownian pendulum.
The model notably predicts the existence of a stagnation point in a diverging
flow. We take advantage of this property to demonstrate that our active particles
can sense and predictably organize in an imposed flow. Our colloidal system represents
an important step toward the realization of biomimetic microsystems with the ability
to sense and respond to environmental changes.

text: The origin and evolution of novel biochemical functions remains one of the
key questions in molecular evolution. We study recently emerged methacrylate reductase
function that is thought to have emerged in the last century and reported in Geobacter
sulfurreducens strain AM-1. We report the sequence and study the evolution of
the operon coding for the flavin-containing methacrylate reductase (Mrd) and tetraheme
cytochrome (Mcc) in the genome of G. sulfurreducens AM-1. Different types of signal
peptides in functionally interlinked proteins Mrd and Mcc suggest a possible complex
mechanism of biogenesis for chromoproteids of the methacrylate redox system. The
homologs of the Mrd and Mcc sequence found in δ-Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres
are also organized into an operon and their phylogenetic distribution suggested
that these two genes tend to be horizontally transferred together. Specifically,
the mrd and mcc genes from G. sulfurreducens AM-1 are not monophyletic with any
of the homologs found in other Geobacter genomes. The acquisition of methacrylate
reductase function by G. sulfurreducens AM-1 appears linked to a horizontal gene
transfer event. However, the new function of the products of mrd and mcc may have
evolved either prior or subsequent to their acquisition by G. sulfurreducens AM-1.

text: The breaking of internal tides is believed to provide a large part of the
power needed to mix the abyssal ocean and sustain the meridional overturning circulation.
Both the fraction of internal tide energy that is dissipated locally and the resulting
vertical mixing distribution are crucial for the ocean state, but remain poorly
quantified. Here we present a first worldwide estimate of mixing due to internal
tides generated at small‐scale abyssal hills. Our estimate is based on linear
wave theory, a nonlinear parameterization for wave breaking and uses quasi‐global
small‐scale abyssal hill bathymetry, stratification, and tidal data. We show that
a large fraction of abyssal‐hill generated internal tide energy is locally dissipated
over mid‐ocean ridges in the Southern Hemisphere. Significant dissipation occurs
above ridge crests, and, upon rescaling by the local stratification, follows a
monotonic exponential decay with height off the bottom, with a nonuniform decay
scale. We however show that a substantial part of the dissipation occurs over
the smoother flanks of mid‐ocean ridges, and exhibits a middepth maximum due to
the interplay of wave amplitude with stratification. We link the three‐dimensional
map of dissipation to abyssal hills characteristics, ocean stratification, and
tidal forcing, and discuss its potential implementation in time‐evolving parameterizations
for global climate models. Current tidal parameterizations only account for waves
generated at large‐scale satellite‐resolved bathymetry. Our results suggest that
the presence of small‐scale, mostly unresolved abyssal hills could significantly
enhance the spatial inhomogeneity of tidal mixing, particularly above mid‐ocean
ridges in the Southern Hemisphere.

text: The actomyosin cytoskeleton is a primary force-generating mechanism in morphogenesis,
thus a robust spatial control of cytoskeletal positioning is essential. In this
report, we demonstrate that actomyosin contractility and planar cell polarity
(PCP) interact in post-mitotic Ciona notochord cells to self-assemble and reposition
actomyosin rings, which play an essential role for cell elongation. Intriguingly,
rings always form at the cells′ anterior edge before migrating towards the center
as contractility increases, reflecting a novel dynamical property of the cortex.
Our drug and genetic manipulations uncover a tug-of-war between contractility,
which localizes cortical flows toward the equator and PCP, which tries to reposition
them. We develop a simple model of the physical forces underlying this tug-of-war,
which quantitatively reproduces our results. We thus propose a quantitative framework
for dissecting the relative contribution of contractility and PCP to the self-assembly
and repositioning of cytoskeletal structures, which should be applicable to other
morphogenetic events.

text: We give several results showing that different discrete structures typically
gain certain spanning substructures (in particular, Hamilton cycles) after a modest
random perturbation. First, we prove that adding linearly many random edges to
a dense k-uniform hypergraph ensures the (asymptotically almost sure) existence
of a perfect matching or a loose Hamilton cycle. The proof involves an interesting
application of Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma, which might be independently useful.
We next prove that digraphs with certain strong expansion properties are pancyclic,
and use this to show that adding a linear number of random edges typically makes
a dense digraph pancyclic. Finally, we prove that perturbing a certain (minimum-degree-dependent)
number of random edges in a tournament typically ensures the existence of multiple
edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. All our results are tight.
