--- _id: '3261' abstract: - lang: eng text: Cells in a developing embryo have no direct way of "measuring" their physical position. Through a variety of processes, however, the expression levels of multiple genes come to be correlated with position, and these expression levels thus form a code for "positional information." We show how to measure this information, in bits, using the gap genes in the Drosophila embryo as an example. Individual genes carry nearly two bits of information, twice as much as expected if the expression patterns consisted only of on/off domains separated by sharp boundaries. Taken together, four gap genes carry enough information to define a cell's location with an error bar of ~1% along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo. This precision is nearly enough for each cell to have a unique identity, which is the maximum information the system can use, and is nearly constant along the length of the embryo. We argue that this constancy is a signature of optimality in the transmission of information from primary morphogen inputs to the output of the gap gene network. author: - first_name: Julien full_name: Dubuis, Julien last_name: Dubuis - first_name: Gasper full_name: Tkacik, Gasper id: 3D494DCA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tkacik orcid: 0000-0002-6699-1455 - first_name: Eric full_name: Wieschaus, Eric last_name: Wieschaus - first_name: Thomas full_name: Gregor, Thomas last_name: Gregor - first_name: William full_name: Bialek, William last_name: Bialek citation: ama: Dubuis J, Tkačik G, Wieschaus E, Gregor T, Bialek W.

The procedure is based on the reaction of a copper salt with trioctylphosphine telluride in the presence of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and oleylamine. CuTe nanocrystals display a strong near-infrared optical absorption associated with localized surface plasmon resonances. We exploit this plasmon resonance for the design of surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensors for unconventional optical probes. Furthermore, we also report here our preliminary analysis of the use of CuTe nanocrystals as cytotoxic and photothermal agents. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Wenhua full_name: Li, Wenhua last_name: Li - first_name: Reza full_name: Zamani, Reza last_name: Zamani - first_name: Pilar full_name: Rivera Gil, Pilar last_name: Rivera Gil - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Pelaz, Beatriz last_name: Pelaz - first_name: Maria full_name: Ibáñez, Maria id: 43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibáñez orcid: 0000-0001-5013-2843 - first_name: Doris full_name: Cadavid, Doris last_name: Cadavid - first_name: Alexey full_name: Shavel, Alexey last_name: Shavel - first_name: Ramon full_name: Alvarez Puebla, Ramon last_name: Alvarez Puebla - first_name: Wolfgang full_name: Parak, Wolfgang last_name: Parak - first_name: Jordi full_name: Arbiol, Jordi last_name: Arbiol - first_name: Andreu full_name: Cabot, Andreu last_name: Cabot citation: ama: 'Li W, Zamani R, Rivera Gil P, et al.

We consider the problem of computing the set of almost-sure winning states from where the objective can be ensured with probability 1. Our contributions are as follows: First, we present the first subquadratic symbolic algorithm to compute the almost-sure winning set for MDPs with Büchi objectives; our algorithm takes O(n · √ m) symbolic steps as compared to the previous known algorithm that takes O(n 2) symbolic steps, where n is the number of states and m is the number of edges of the MDP. In practice MDPs have constant out-degree, and then our symbolic algorithm takes O(n · √ n) symbolic steps, as compared to the previous known O(n 2) symbolic steps algorithm. Second, we present a new algorithm, namely win-lose algorithm, with the following two properties: (a) the algorithm iteratively computes subsets of the almost-sure winning set and its complement, as compared to all previous algorithms that discover the almost-sure winning set upon termination; and (b) requires O(n · √ K) symbolic steps, where K is the maximal number of edges of strongly connected components (scc''s) of the MDP. The win-lose algorithm requires symbolic computation of scc''s. Third, we improve the algorithm for symbolic scc computation; the previous known algorithm takes linear symbolic steps, and our new algorithm improves the constants associated with the linear number of steps. In the worst case the previous known algorithm takes 5×n symbolic steps, whereas our new algorithm takes 4×n symbolic steps.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Monika H full_name: Henzinger, Monika H id: 540c9bbd-f2de-11ec-812d-d04a5be85630 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000-0002-5008-6530 - first_name: Manas full_name: Joglekar, Manas last_name: Joglekar - first_name: Nisarg full_name: Shah, Nisarg last_name: Shah citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Henzinger MH, Joglekar M, Shah N.

In particular, colloidal nanoheterostructures, with intrinsic multiphase organization, are especially appealing building blocks for the bottom-up production of nanocomposites. In the present work, we use PbTe-PbS as the model material system and thermoelectricity as the paradigmatic application to investigate the potential of the bottom-up assembly of core-shell nanoparticles to produce functional nanocomposites. With this goal in mind, a rapid, high-yield and scalable colloidal synthetic route to prepare grams of PbTe@PbS core-shell nanoparticles with unprecedented narrow size distributions and exceptional composition control is detailed. PbTe@PbS nanoparticles were used as building blocks for the bottom-up production of PbTe-PbS nanocomposites with tuned composition. In such PbTe-PbS nanocomposites, synergistic nanocrystal doping effects result in up to 10-fold higher electrical conductivities than in pure PbTe and PbS nanomaterials. At the same time, the acoustic impedance mismatch between PbTe and PbS phases and a partial phase alloying provide PbTe-PbS nanocomposites with strongly reduced thermal conductivities. As a result, record thermoelectric figures of merit (ZT) of ∼1.1 were obtained from undoped PbTe and PbS phases at 710 K. These high ZT values prove the potential of the proposed processes to produce efficient functional nanomaterials with programmable properties. © 2013 American Chemical Society. acknowledgement: "The research was supported by the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF, “FEDER Programa Competitivitat de Catalunya 2007-2013”) and the Spanish MICINN Projects MAT2008-05779, MAT2010-15138, CSD2009-00050, and CSD2009-00013.

We developed an efficient ligand exchange strategy, using an antimony salt, to displace organic ligands from the surface of Cu 2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles. An automated pulsed spray-deposition system was used to deposit the nanoparticles into homogeneous and crack-free films with controlled thickness. After annealing the film in a Se-rich atmosphere, carbon-free and crystalline Cu2ZnSnSe4 absorber layers were obtained. Not only was crystallization promoted by the complete removal of organics, but also Sb itself played a critical role. The Sb-assisted crystal growth is associated with the formation of a Sb-based compound at the grain boundaries, which locally reduces the melting point, thus promoting the film diffusion-limited crystallization.

The procedure is based on the reaction of a copper salt with trioctylphosphine telluride in the presence of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and oleylamine. CuTe nanocrystals display a strong near-infrared optical absorption associated with localized surface plasmon resonances. We exploit this plasmon resonance for the design of surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensors for unconventional optical probes. Furthermore, we also report here our preliminary analysis of the use of CuTe nanocrystals as cytotoxic and photothermal agents. acknowledgement: This research was supported by the European Regional Development Funds.

Among them, Cu2ZnSnSe4 is an emerging photovoltaic material and Cu2CdSnSe4 displays excellent thermoelectric properties. The third compound of this family, Cu2HgSnSe4, remains relatively unexplored. Herein, a synthetic route to produce Cu2HgSnSe4 nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and controlled composition is presented. Cu2HgSnSe4 nanoparticles were subsequently used as building blocks to produce bulk nanocrystalline materials, whose thermoelectric properties were analyzed. A very preliminary adjustment of the material composition yielded Seebeck coefficients up to 160 μV K−1, electrical conductivities close to 104 S m−1 and thermal conductivities down to 0.5 W m−1 K−1. author: - first_name: Wenhua full_name: Li, Wenhua last_name: Li - first_name: Maria full_name: Ibáñez, Maria id: 43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibáñez orcid: 0000-0001-5013-2843 - first_name: Reza full_name: Zamani, Reza last_name: Zamani - first_name: Nuria full_name: García Castelló, Nuria last_name: García Castelló - first_name: Grosse full_name: Stéphane, Grosse last_name: Stéphane - first_name: Doris full_name: Cadavid, Doris last_name: Cadavid - first_name: Joan full_name: Prades, Joan last_name: Prades - first_name: Jordi full_name: Arbiol, Jordi last_name: Arbiol - first_name: Andreu full_name: Cabot, Andreu last_name: Cabot citation: ama: 'Li W, Ibáñez M, Zamani R, et al.

Here we use 2455 experimental crosses between 12 population pairs of the rare perennial plant Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Asteraceae) to investigate the multi-generational (F1, F2, F3) fitness outcomes of inter-population hybridization. We detected no evidence of outbreeding depression, with inter-population hybrids and backcrosses showing either similar fitness or significant heterosis for fitness components across the three generations. Variation in heterosis among population pairs was best explained by characteristics of the foreign source or home population, and was greatest when the source population was large, with high genetic diversity and low inbreeding, and the home population was small and inbred. Our results indicate that the primary consideration for maximizing progeny fitness following population augmentation or restoration is the use of seed from large, genetically diverse populations. article_number: '2058' author: - first_name: Melinda full_name: Pickup, Melinda id: 2C78037E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pickup orcid: 0000-0001-6118-0541 - first_name: David full_name: Field, David id: 419049E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Field orcid: 0000-0002-4014-8478 - first_name: David full_name: Rowell, David last_name: Rowell - first_name: Andrew full_name: Young, Andrew last_name: Young citation: ama: Pickup M, Field D, Rowell D, Young A.
