--- _id: '1220' abstract: - lang: eng 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. author: - first_name: Gregor full_name: Mikić, Gregor last_name: Mikić - first_name: Alex full_name: Stoll, Alex last_name: Stoll - first_name: Joe full_name: Bevirt, Joe last_name: Bevirt - first_name: Rok full_name: Grah, Rok id: 483E70DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Grah orcid: 0000-0003-2539-3560 - first_name: Mark full_name: Moore, Mark last_name: Moore citation: ama: 'Mikić G, Stoll A, Bevirt J, Grah R, Moore M.

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. acknowledgement: "We thank T.

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. acknowledgement: "We thank Sophie Martin, Ken Sawin, Stephen Huisman,\r\nand Damian Brunner for strains; Julianne\r\nTeapal, Marcel Janson, Sergio Rincon,\r\nand Phong Tran for technical assistance; Andrew Mugler and Bela Mulder for\r\ndiscussions; and Sander Tans, Phong Tran,\r\nand Anne Paoletti for critical reading\r\nof the manuscript.

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. acknowledgement: "Our work was supported in part by the US\r\nNational Science Foundation (PHY–1305525 and CCF–\r\n0939370), by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF\r\nP25651), by the Human Frontiers Science Program, and\r\nby the Simons and Swartz Foundations." author: - first_name: Gasper full_name: Tkacik, Gasper id: 3D494DCA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tkacik orcid: 0000-0002-6699-1455 - first_name: William full_name: Bialek, William last_name: Bialek citation: ama: Tkačik G, Bialek W.

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. article_number: '1650067' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Daniele full_name: De Martino, Daniele id: 3FF5848A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Martino orcid: 0000-0002-5214-4706 citation: ama: De Martino D.
