text: Theoretical and numerical aspects of aerodynamic efficiency of propulsion
systems coupled to the boundary layer of a fuselage are studied. We discuss the
effects of local flow fields, which are affected both by conservative flow acceleration
as well as total pressure losses, on the efficiency of boundary layer immersed
propulsion devices. We introduce the concept of a boundary layer retardation turbine
that helps reduce skin friction over the fuselage. We numerically investigate
efficiency gains offered by boundary layer and wake interacting devices. We discuss
the results in terms of a total energy consumption framework and show that efficiency
gains of any device depend on all the other elements of the propulsion system.

text: A crucial step in the regulation of gene expression is binding of transcription
factor (TF) proteins to regulatory sites along the DNA. But transcription factors
act at nanomolar concentrations, and noise due to random arrival of these molecules
at their binding sites can severely limit the precision of regulation. Recent
work on the optimization of information flow through regulatory networks indicates
that the lower end of the dynamic range of concentrations is simply inaccessible,
overwhelmed by the impact of this noise. Motivated by the behavior of homeodomain
proteins, such as the maternal morphogen Bicoid in the fruit fly embryo, we suggest
a scheme in which transcription factors also act as indirect translational regulators,
binding to the mRNA of other regulatory proteins. Intuitively, each mRNA molecule
acts as an independent sensor of the input concentration, and averaging over these
multiple sensors reduces the noise. We analyze information flow through this scheme
and identify conditions under which it outperforms direct transcriptional regulation.
Our results suggest that the dual role of homeodomain proteins is not just a historical
accident, but a solution to a crucial physics problem in the regulation of gene
expression.

text: Cell polarity refers to a functional spatial organization of proteins that
is crucial for the control of essential cellular processes such as growth and
division. To establish polarity, cells rely on elaborate regulation networks that
control the distribution of proteins at the cell membrane. In fission yeast cells,
a microtubule-dependent network has been identified that polarizes the distribution
of signaling proteins that restricts growth to cell ends and targets the cytokinetic
machinery to the middle of the cell. Although many molecular components have been
shown to play a role in this network, it remains unknown which molecular functionalities
are minimally required to establish a polarized protein distribution in this system.
Here we show that a membrane-binding protein fragment, which distributes homogeneously
in wild-type fission yeast cells, can be made to concentrate at cell ends by attaching
it to a cytoplasmic microtubule end-binding protein. This concentration results
in a polarized pattern of chimera proteins with a spatial extension that is very
reminiscent of natural polarity patterns in fission yeast. However, chimera levels
fluctuate in response to microtubule dynamics, and disruption of microtubules
leads to disappearance of the pattern. Numerical simulations confirm that the
combined functionality of membrane anchoring and microtubule tip affinity is in
principle sufficient to create polarized patterns. Our chimera protein may thus
represent a simple molecular functionality that is able to polarize the membrane,
onto which additional layers of molecular complexity may be built to provide the
temporal robustness that is typical of natural polarity patterns.

text: Life depends as much on the flow of information as on the flow of energy.
Here we review the many efforts to make this intuition precise. Starting with
the building blocks of information theory, we explore examples where it has been
possible to measure, directly, the flow of information in biological networks,
or more generally where information-theoretic ideas have been used to guide the
analysis of experiments. Systems of interest range from single molecules (the
sequence diversity in families of proteins) to groups of organisms (the distribution
of velocities in flocks of birds), and all scales in between. Many of these analyses
are motivated by the idea that biological systems may have evolved to optimize
the gathering and representation of information, and we review the experimental
evidence for this optimization, again across a wide range of scales.

text: In this work, the Gardner problem of inferring interactions and fields for
an Ising neural network from given patterns under a local stability hypothesis
is addressed under a dual perspective. By means of duality arguments, an integer
linear system is defined whose solution space is the dual of the Gardner space
and whose solutions represent mutually unstable patterns. We propose and discuss
Monte Carlo methods in order to find and remove unstable patterns and uniformly
sample the space of interactions thereafter. We illustrate the problem on a set
of real data and perform ensemble calculation that shows how the emergence of
phase dominated by unstable patterns can be triggered in a nonlinear discontinuous
way.
