--- _id: '14852' abstract: - lang: eng text: The physical conditions giving rise to high escape fractions of ionizing radiation (LyC fesc) in star-forming galaxies – most likely protagonists of cosmic reionization – are not yet fully understood. Using the VLT/MUSE observations of ∼1400 Ly α emitters at 2.9 &lt; z &lt; 6.7, we compare stacked rest-frame UV spectra of candidates for LyC leakers and non-leakers selected based on their Ly α profiles. We find that the stacks of potential LyC leakers, i.e. galaxies with narrow, symmetric Ly α profiles with small peak separation, generally show (i) strong nebular O iii]λ1666, [Si iii]λ1883, and [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 emission, indicating a high-ionization state of the interstellar medium (ISM); (ii) high equivalent widths of He iiλ1640 (∼1 − 3 Å), suggesting the presence of hard ionizing radiation fields; (iii) Si ii*λ1533 emission, revealing substantial amounts of neutral hydrogen off the line of sight; (iv) high C ivλλ1548,1550 to [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 ratios (C iv/C iii] ≳0.75) , signalling the presence of low column density channels in the ISM. In contrast, the stacks with broad, asymmetric Ly α profiles with large peak separation show weak nebular emission lines, low He iiλ1640 equivalent widths (≲1 Å), and low C iv/C iii] (≲0.25), implying low-ionization states and high-neutral hydrogen column densities. Our results suggest that C iv/C iii] might be sensitive to the physical conditions that govern LyC photon escape, providing a promising tool for identification of ionizing sources among star-forming galaxies in the epoch of reionization. acknowledgement: 'We thank the anonymous referee for the constructive feedback that helped to improve the manuscript.

While some thrive in uniform (homogeneous) landscapes where environmental conditions stay relatively consistent across space, others traverse the complexities of spatially heterogeneous terrains. Comprehending how species are distributed and how they interact within these landscapes holds the key to gaining insights into their evolutionary dynamics while also informing conservation and management strategies.\r\n\r\nFor species inhabiting heterogeneous landscapes, when the rate of dispersal is low compared to spatial fluctuations in selection pressure, localized adaptations may emerge. Such adaptation in response to varying selection strengths plays an important role in the persistence of populations in our rapidly changing world. Hence, species in nature are continuously in a struggle to adapt to local environmental conditions, to ensure their continued survival. Natural populations can often adapt in time scales short enough for evolutionary changes to influence ecological dynamics and vice versa, thereby creating a feedback between evolution and demography. The analysis of this feedback and the relative contributions of gene flow, demography, drift, and natural selection to genetic variation and differentiation has remained a recurring theme in evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, the effective role of these forces in maintaining variation and shaping patterns of diversity is not fully understood. Even in homogeneous environments devoid of local adaptations, such understanding remains elusive. Understanding this feedback is crucial, for example in determining the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation at the edges of species’ ranges\r\nas well as in highly fragmented populations.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis we explore both uniform and spatially heterogeneous metapopulations, investigating and providing theoretical insights into the dynamics of local adaptation in the latter and examining the dynamics of load and extinction as well as the impact of joint ecological and evolutionary (eco-evolutionary) dynamics in the former. The thesis is divided into 5 chapters.\r\n\r\nChapter 1 provides a general introduction into the subject matter, clarifying concepts and ideas used throughout the thesis. In chapter 2, we explore how fast a species distributed across a heterogeneous landscape adapts to changing conditions marked by alterations in carrying capacity, selection pressure, and migration rate.\r\n\r\nIn chapter 3, we investigate how migration selection and drift influences adaptation and the maintenance of variation in a metapopulation with three habitats, an extension of previous models of adaptation in two habitats. We further develop analytical approximations for the critical threshold required for polymorphism to persist.\r\n\r\nThe focus of chapter 4 of the thesis is on understanding the interplay between ecology and evolution as coupled processes. We investigate how eco-evolutionary feedback between migration, selection, drift, and demography influences eco-evolutionary outcomes in marginal populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation. Using simulations as well as theoretical approximations of the coupled dynamics of population size and allele frequency, we analyze how gene flow from a large mainland source influences genetic load and population size on an island (i.e., in a marginal population) under genetically realistic assumptions. Analyses of this sort are important because small isolated populations, are repeatedly affected by complex interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes, which can lead to their death. Understanding these interactions can therefore provide an insight into the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations thus, contributing to conservation and restoration efforts.\r\n\r\nChapter 5 extends the analysis in chapter 4 to consider the dynamics of load (due to deleterious mutation accumulation) and extinction risk in a metapopulation. We explore the role of gene flow, selection, and dominance on load and extinction risk and further pinpoint critical thresholds required for metapopulation persistence.\r\n\r\nOverall this research contributes to our understanding of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that shape species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes, a crucial foundation for successful conservation efforts and biodiversity management." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Oluwafunmilola O full_name: Olusanya, Oluwafunmilola O id: 41AD96DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Olusanya orcid: 0000-0003-1971-8314 citation: ama: Olusanya OO.

But as orbits become increasingly crowded with both satellites and inevitable space debris pollution, continued operations become endangered by the heightened risks of debris collisions in orbit. Kessler Syndrome is the term for when a critical threshold of orbiting debris triggers a runaway positive feedback loop of debris collisions, creating debris congestion that can render orbits unusable. As this potential tipping point becomes more widely recognized, there have been renewed calls for debris mitigation and removal. Here, we combine complex systems and social-ecological systems approaches to study how these efforts may affect space debris accumulation and the likelihood of reaching Kessler Syndrome. Specifically, we model how debris levels are affected by future launch rates, cleanup activities, and collisions between extant debris. We contextualize and interpret our dynamic model within a discussion of existing space debris governance and other social, economic, and geopolitical factors that may influence effective collective management of the orbital commons. In line with previous studies, our model finds that debris congestion may be reached in less than 200 years, though a holistic management strategy combining removal and mitigation actions can avoid such outcomes while continuing space activities. Moreover, although active debris removal may be particularly effective, the current lack of market and governance support may impede its implementation. Research into these critical dynamics and the multi-faceted variables that influence debris outcomes can support policymakers in curating impactful governance strategies and realistic transition pathways to sustaining debris-free orbits. Overall, our study is useful for communicating about space debris sustainability in policy and education settings by providing an exploration of policy portfolio options supported by a simple and clear social-ecological modeling approach. acknowledgement: The authors would like to thank the special issue co-editors, Marco Janssen and Xiao-Shan Yap, and the anonymous reviewers for their comments that helped improve the manuscript.

However, our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying various aspects of their reproductive biology, including sex determination, are still lacking. This is partly due to the scarcity of genomic resources for Artemia species and crustaceans in general. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of Artemia franciscana (Kellogg 1906), from the Great Salt Lake, USA. The genome is 1GB, and the majority of the genome (81%) is scaffolded into 21 linkage groups using a previously published high-density linkage map. We performed coverage and FST analyses using male and female genomic and transcriptomic reads to quantify the extent of differentiation between the Z and W chromosomes.

A recent transition from egg-laying to live-bearing in marine snails (Littorina spp.) provides the opportunity to study the genetic architecture of an innovation that has evolved repeatedly across animals. Individuals do not cluster by reproductive mode in a genome-wide phylogeny, but local genealogical analysis revealed numerous small genomic regions where all live-bearers carry the same core haplotype. Candidate regions show evidence for live-bearer–specific positive selection and are enriched for genes that are differentially expressed between egg-laying and live-bearing reproductive systems. Ages of selective sweeps suggest that live-bearer–specific alleles accumulated over more than 200,000 generations. Our results suggest that new functions evolve through the recruitment of many alleles rather than in a single evolutionary step. acknowledgement: "We thank J. Galindo, M. Montaño-Rendón, N.

We formalize such beliefs as maximum-entropy Bayesian priors, constrained by the expected utility. We explore how such priors aid inference of system parameters with limited data and enable optimality hypothesis testing: is the utility higher than by chance?\r\nChapter 3 examines the ultimate biological optimization process: evolution by natural selection. As some individuals survive and reproduce more successfully than others, populations evolve towards fitter genotypes and phenotypes. We formalize this as accumulation of genetic information, and use population genetics theory to study how much such information can be accumulated per generation and maintained in the face of random mutation and genetic drift. We identify the population size and fitness variance as the key quantities that control information accumulation and maintenance.\r\nChapter 4 reuses the concept of genetic information from Chapter 3, but from a different perspective: we ask how much genetic information organisms actually need, in particular in the context of gene regulation. For example, how much information is needed to bind transcription factors at correct locations within the genome? Population genetics provides us with a refined answer: with an increasing population size, populations achieve higher fitness by maintaining more genetic information. Moreover, regulatory parameters experience selection pressure to optimize the fitness-information trade-off, i.e. minimize the information needed for a given fitness. This provides an evolutionary derivation of the optimization priors introduced in Chapter 2.\r\nChapter 5 proves an upper bound on mutual information between a signal and a communication channel output (such as neural activity). Mutual information is an important utility measure for biological systems, but its practical use can be difficult due to the large dimensionality of many biological channels. Sometimes, a lower bound on mutual information is computed by replacing the high-dimensional channel outputs with decodes (signal estimates). Our result provides a corresponding upper bound, provided that the decodes are the maximum posterior estimates of the signal." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michal full_name: Hledik, Michal id: 4171253A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hledik citation: ama: Hledik M.

The computational complexity of 0-Ext[μ] has been recently established by Karzanov and by Hirai: if metric μ is {\\em orientable modular} then 0-Ext[μ] can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise 0-Ext[μ] is NP-hard. To prove the tractability part, Hirai developed a theory of discrete convex functions on orientable modular graphs generalizing several known classes of functions in discrete convex analysis, such as L♮-convex functions. We consider a more general version of the problem in which unary functions fi(xi) can additionally have terms of the form cuv;iμ(xi,{u,v}) for {u,v}∈F, where set F⊆(V2) is fixed. We extend the complexity classification above by providing an explicit condition on (μ,F) for the problem to be tractable. In order to prove the tractability part, we generalize Hirai's theory and define a larger class of discrete convex functions. It covers, in particular, another well-known class of functions, namely submodular functions on an integer lattice. Finally, we improve the complexity of Hirai's algorithm for solving 0-Ext on orientable modular graphs.\r\n" acknowledgement: We thank the anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of our manuscript and their many insightful comments and suggestions.

The goal of player-max is to maximize the probability to reach a target state against the adversarial player-min. These games lie in NP ∩ coNP and are among the rare combinatorial problems that belong to this complexity class for which the existence of polynomial-time algorithm is a major open question. While randomized sub-exponential time algorithm exists, all known deterministic algorithms require exponential time in the worst-case. An important open question has been whether faster algorithms can be obtained parametrized by the treewidth of the game graph. Even deterministic sub-exponential time algorithm for constant treewidth turn-based stochastic games has remain elusive. In this work our main result is a deterministic algorithm to solve turn-based stochastic games that, given a game with n states, treewidth at most t, and the bit-complexity of the probabilistic transition function log D, has running time O ((tn2 log D)t log n). In particular, our algorithm is quasi-polynomial time for games with constant or poly-logarithmic treewidth. acknowledgement: This research was partially supported by the ERC CoG 863818 (ForM-SMArt) grant. 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: Tobias full_name: Meggendorfer, Tobias id: b21b0c15-30a2-11eb-80dc-f13ca25802e1 last_name: Meggendorfer orcid: 0000-0002-1712-2165 - first_name: Raimundo J full_name: Saona Urmeneta, Raimundo J id: BD1DF4C4-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425 last_name: Saona Urmeneta orcid: 0000-0001-5103-038X - first_name: Jakub full_name: Svoboda, Jakub id: 130759D2-D7DD-11E9-87D2-DE0DE6697425 last_name: Svoboda citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Meggendorfer T, Saona Urmeneta RJ, Svoboda J.

UCs (semi-)automatically convert a sequential data structure into a concurrent one. The simplest approach uses locks [3, 6] that protect a sequential data structure and allow only one process to access it at a time. However, the resulting data structure is blocking. Most work on UCs instead focuses on obtaining non-blocking progress guarantees such as obstruction-freedom, lock-freedom or wait-freedom. Many non-blocking UCs have appeared.

Individuals with autism, a neurodevelopmental condition primarily characterised by social and communication difficulties, frequently exhibit altered sensory processing and PDM difficulties are widely reported. Recent technological advancements have pushed forward our understanding of the genetic changes accompanying this condition, however our understanding of how these mutations affect the function of specific neuronal circuits and bring about the corresponding behavioural changes remains limited. Here, we use an innate PDM task, the looming avoidance response (LAR) paradigm, to identify a convergent behavioural abnormality across three molecularly distinct genetic mouse models of autism (Cul3, Setd5 and Ptchd1). Although mutant mice can rapidly detect threatening visual stimuli, their responses are consistently delayed, requiring longer to initiate an appropriate response than their wild-type siblings. Mutant animals show abnormal adaptation in both their stimulus- evoked escape responses and exploratory dynamics following repeated stimulus presentations. Similarly delayed behavioural responses are observed in wild-type animals when faced with more ambiguous threats, suggesting the mutant phenotype could arise from a dysfunction in the flexible control of this PDM process.\r\nOur knowledge of the core neuronal circuitry mediating the LAR facilitated a detailed dissection of the neuronal mechanisms underlying the behavioural impairment. In vivo extracellular recording revealed that visual responses were unaffected within a key brain region for the rapid processing of visual threats, the superior colliculus (SC), indicating that the behavioural delay was unlikely to originate from sensory impairments. Delayed behavioural responses were recapitulated in the Setd5 model following optogenetic stimulation of the excitatory output neurons of the SC, which are known to mediate escape initiation through the activation of cells in the underlying dorsal periaqueductal grey (dPAG). In vitro patch-clamp recordings of dPAG cells uncovered a stark hypoexcitability phenotype in two out of the three genetic models investigated (Setd5 and Ptchd1), that in Setd5, is mediated by the misregulation of voltage-gated potassium channels. Overall, our results show that the ability to use visual information to drive efficient escape responses is impaired in three diverse genetic mouse models of autism and that, in one of the models studied, this behavioural delay likely originates from differences in the intrinsic excitability of a key subcortical node, the dPAG. Furthermore, this work showcases the use of an innate behavioural paradigm to mechanistically dissect PDM processes in autism." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc - _id: M-Shop - _id: CampIT alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Laura full_name: Burnett, Laura id: 3B717F68-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Burnett orcid: 0000-0002-8937-410X citation: ama: Burnett L.

Already Pavlov (1927) in his early days has used his classic\r\nconditioning experiments to study the neural mechanisms governing behavioral adaptation.\r\nWhat was not known back then was that the part of the brain that is largely responsible for\r\nthis type of associative learning is the cerebellum.\r\nSince then, plenty of theories on cerebellar learning have emerged. Despite their differences,\r\none thing they all have in common is that learning relies on synaptic and intrinsic plasticity.\r\nThe goal of my PhD project was to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic\r\nplasticity in two synapses that have been shown to be implicated in motor learning, in an\r\neffort to understand how learning and memory formation are processed in the cerebellum.\r\nOne of the earliest and most well-known cerebellar theories postulates that motor learning\r\nlargely depends on long-term depression at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell (PC-PC) synapse.\r\nHowever, the discovery of other types of plasticity in the cerebellar circuitry, like long-term\r\npotentiation (LTP) at the PC-PC synapse, potentiation of molecular layer interneurons (MLIs),\r\nand plasticity transfer from the cortex to the cerebellar/ vestibular nuclei has increased the\r\npopularity of the idea that multiple sites of plasticity might be involved in learning.\r\nStill a lot remains unknown about the molecular mechanisms responsible for these types of\r\nplasticity and whether they occur during physiological learning.\r\nIn the first part of this thesis we have analyzed the variation and nanodistribution of voltagegated calcium channels (VGCCs) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid\r\ntype glutamate receptors (AMPARs) on the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse after vestibuloocular reflex phase reversal adaptation, a behavior that has been suggested to rely on PF-PC\r\nLTP. We have found that on the last day of adaptation there is no learning trace in form of\r\nVGCCs nor AMPARs variation at the PF-PC synapse, but instead a decrease in the number of\r\nPF-PC synapses. These data seem to support the view that learning is only stored in the\r\ncerebellar cortex in an initial learning phase, being transferred later to the vestibular nuclei.\r\nNext, we have studied the role of MLIs in motor learning using a relatively simple and well characterized behavioral paradigm – horizontal optokinetic reflex (HOKR) adaptation. We\r\nhave found behavior-induced MLI potentiation in form of release probability increase that\r\ncould be explained by the increase of VGCCs at the presynaptic side. Our results strengthen\r\nthe idea of distributed cerebellar plasticity contributing to learning and provide a novel\r\nmechanism for release probability increase.

In this work we propose a new compression-aware minimizer dubbed CrAM that modifies the optimization step in a principled way, in order to produce models whose local loss behavior is stable under compression operations such as pruning. Thus, dense models trained via CrAM should be compressible post-training, in a single step, without significant accuracy loss. Experimental results on standard benchmarks, such as residual networks for ImageNet classification and BERT models for language modelling, show that CrAM produces dense models that can be more accurate than the standard SGD/Adam-based baselines, but which are stable under weight pruning: specifically, we can prune models in one-shot to 70-80% sparsity with almost no accuracy loss, and to 90% with reasonable (∼1%) accuracy loss, which is competitive with gradual compression methods. Additionally, CrAM can produce sparse models which perform well for transfer learning, and it also works for semi-structured 2:4 pruning patterns supported by GPU hardware.

These computations require a panoramic assessment of the visual environment in order to disambiguate similar sensory experiences that may require distinct behavioral responses. The estimation of the global motion patterns is therefore essential for successful navigation. Yet, our understanding of the algorithms and implementations that enable coherent panoramic visual perception remains scarce. Here I pursue this problem by dissecting the functional aspects of interneuronal communication in the lobula plate tangential cell network in Drosophila melanogaster. The results presented in the thesis demonstrate that the basis for effective interpretation of the optic flow in this circuit are stereotyped synaptic connections that mediate the formation of distinct subnetworks, each extracting a particular pattern of global motion. \r\nFirstly, I show that gap junctions are essential for a correct interpretation of binocular motion cues by horizontal motion-sensitive cells. HS cells form electrical synapses with contralateral H2 neurons that are involved in detecting yaw rotation and translation. I developed an FlpStop-mediated mutant of a gap junction protein ShakB that disrupts these electrical synapses. While the loss of electrical synapses does not affect the tuning of the direction selectivity in HS neurons, it severely alters their sensitivity to horizontal motion in the contralateral side. These physiological changes result in an inappropriate integration of binocular motion cues in walking animals. While wild-type flies form a binocular perception of visual motion by non-linear integration of monocular optic flow cues, the mutant flies sum the monocular inputs linearly. These results indicate that rather than averaging signals in neighboring neurons, gap-junctions operate in conjunction with chemical synapses to mediate complex non-linear optic flow computations.\r\nSecondly, I show that stochastic manipulation of neuronal activity in the lobula plate tangential cell network is a powerful approach to study the neuronal implementation of optic flow-based navigation in flies. Tangential neurons form multiple subnetworks, each mediating course-stabilizing response to a particular global pattern of visual motion. Application of genetic mosaic techniques can provide sparse optogenetic activation of HS cells in numerous combinations. These distinct combinations of activated neurons drive an array of distinct behavioral responses, providing important insights into how visuomotor transformation is performed in the lobula plate tangential cell network. This approach can be complemented by stochastic silencing of tangential neurons, enabling direct assessment of the functional role of individual tangential neurons in the processing of specific visual motion patterns.\r\n\tTaken together, the findings presented in this thesis suggest that establishing specific activity patterns of tangential cells via stereotyped synaptic connectivity is a key to efficient optic flow-based navigation in Drosophila melanogaster." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Victoria full_name: Pokusaeva, Victoria id: 3184041C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pokusaeva orcid: 0000-0001-7660-444X citation: ama: Pokusaeva V.

The safety-liveness classification of boolean properties characterizes whether a given property can be falsified by observing a finite prefix of an infinite computation trace (always for safety, never for liveness). In quantitative specification and verification, properties assign not truth values, but quantitative values to infinite traces (e.g., a cost, or the distance to a boolean property). We introduce quantitative safety and liveness, and we prove that our definitions induce conservative quantitative generalizations of both (1)~the safety-progress hierarchy of boolean properties and (2)~the safety-liveness decomposition of boolean properties. In particular, we show that every quantitative property can be written as the pointwise minimum of a quantitative safety property and a quantitative liveness property. Consequently, like boolean properties, also quantitative properties can be min-decomposed into safety and liveness parts, or alternatively, max-decomposed into co-safety and co-liveness parts. Moreover, quantitative properties can be approximated naturally. We prove that every quantitative property that has both safe and co-safe approximations can be monitored arbitrarily precisely by a monitor that uses only a finite number of states. acknowledgement: We thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.

This includes the decidability of language inclusion, which is the ultimate verification problem. Operator precedence grammars, automata, and logics have been investigated and used, for example, to verify programs with arithmetic expressions and exceptions (both of which are deterministic pushdown but lie outside the scope of the visibly pushdown languages). In this paper, we complete the picture and give, for the first time, an algebraic characterization of the class of OPLs in the form of a syntactic congruence that has finitely many equivalence classes exactly for the operator precedence languages. This is a generalization of the celebrated Myhill-Nerode theorem for the regular languages to OPLs. As one of the consequences, we show that universality and language inclusion for nondeterministic operator precedence automata can be solved by an antichain algorithm. Antichain algorithms avoid determinization and complementation through an explicit subset construction, by leveraging a quasi-order on words, which allows the pruning of the search space for counterexample words without sacrificing completeness. Antichain algorithms can be implemented symbolically, and these implementations are today the best-performing algorithms in practice for the inclusion of finite automata. We give a generic construction of the quasi-order needed for antichain algorithms from a finite syntactic congruence. This yields the first antichain algorithm for OPLs, an algorithm that solves the ExpTime-hard language inclusion problem for OPLs in exponential time. acknowledgement: "This work was supported in part by the ERC-2020-AdG 101020093.\r\nWe thank Pierre Ganty for early discussions and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.\r\n" alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_processing_charge: Yes author: - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000-0002-2985-7724 - first_name: Pavol full_name: Kebis, Pavol last_name: Kebis - first_name: Nicolas Adrien full_name: Mazzocchi, Nicolas Adrien id: b26baa86-3308-11ec-87b0-8990f34baa85 last_name: Mazzocchi - first_name: Naci E full_name: Sarac, Naci E id: 8C6B42F8-C8E6-11E9-A03A-F2DCE5697425 last_name: Sarac citation: ama: 'Henzinger TA, Kebis P, Mazzocchi NA, Sarac NE.

In this paper, we perform the first such analysis for the fundamental Union-Find problem, in which we are given a graph as a sequence of edges, and must maintain its connectivity structure under edge additions. We prove that classic sequential algorithms for this problem are well-parallelizable under reasonable assumptions, addressing a conjecture by [Blelloch, 2017]. More precisely, we show via a new potential argument that, under uniform random edge ordering, parallel union-find operations are unlikely to interfere: T concurrent threads processing the graph in parallel will encounter memory contention O(T2 · log |V| · log |E|) times in expectation, where |E| and |V| are the number of edges and nodes in the graph, respectively. We leverage this result to design a new parallel Union-Find algorithm that is both internally deterministic, i.e., its results are guaranteed to match those of a sequential execution, but also work-efficient and scalable, as long as the number of threads T is O(|E|1 over 3 - ε), for an arbitrarily small constant ε > 0, which holds for most large real-world graphs. We present lower bounds which show that our analysis is close to optimal, and experimental results suggesting that the performance cost of internal determinism is limited.' article_processing_charge: Yes (in subscription journal) author: - first_name: Alexander full_name: Fedorov, Alexander id: 2e711909-896a-11ed-bdf8-eb0f5a2984c6 last_name: Fedorov - first_name: Diba full_name: Hashemi, Diba id: ed9595ea-2f8f-11ee-ba95-d2b546540783 last_name: Hashemi - first_name: Giorgi full_name: Nadiradze, Giorgi id: 3279A00C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nadiradze - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X citation: ama: 'Fedorov A, Hashemi D, Nadiradze G, Alistarh D-A.

To explain their origin, it is necessary to study how electromagnetic fields interact with these systems. We address this problem here by studying two classical quantities: Faraday rotation and the complex refractive index in a paradigmatic perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 in a broad wavelength range. We find that the minimal coupling of electromagnetic fields to the k⋅p Hamiltonian is insufficient to describe the observed data even on the qualitative level. To amend this, we demonstrate that there exists a relevant atomic-level coupling between electromagnetic fields and the spin degree of freedom. This spin-electric coupling allows for quantitative description of a number of previous as well as present experimental data. In particular, we use it here to show that the Faraday effect in lead halide perovskites is dominated by the Zeeman splitting of the energy levels and has a substantial beyond-Becquerel contribution. Finally, we present general symmetry-based phenomenological arguments that in the low-energy limit our effective model includes all basis coupling terms to the electromagnetic field in the linear order.' article_number: '106901' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Artem full_name: Volosniev, Artem id: 37D278BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Volosniev orcid: 0000-0003-0393-5525 - first_name: Abhishek full_name: Shiva Kumar, Abhishek id: 5e9a6931-eb97-11eb-a6c2-e96f7058d77a last_name: Shiva Kumar - first_name: Dusan full_name: Lorenc, Dusan id: 40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lorenc - first_name: Younes full_name: Ashourishokri, Younes id: e32c111f-f6e0-11ea-865d-eb955baea334 last_name: Ashourishokri - first_name: Ayan A. full_name: Zhumekenov, Ayan A. last_name: Zhumekenov - first_name: Osman M. full_name: Bakr, Osman M. last_name: Bakr - first_name: Mikhail full_name: Lemeshko, Mikhail id: 37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lemeshko orcid: 0000-0002-6990-7802 - first_name: Zhanybek full_name: Alpichshev, Zhanybek id: 45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alpichshev orcid: 0000-0002-7183-5203 citation: ama: Volosniev A, Shiva Kumar A, Lorenc D, et al.

It is also present in non-bilaterian metazoans, such as cnidarians, where it acts as a component of an axial patterning system. In this study, we present a phylogenetic analysis of Brachyury genes within phylum Cnidaria, investigate differential expression and address a functional framework of Brachyury paralogs in hydrozoan Dynamena pumila. Our analysis indicates two duplication events of Brachyury within the cnidarian lineage. The first duplication likely appeared in the medusozoan ancestor, resulting in two copies in medusozoans, while the second duplication arose in the hydrozoan ancestor, resulting in three copies in hydrozoans. Brachyury1 and 2 display a conservative expression pattern marking the oral pole of the body axis in D. pumila. On the contrary, Brachyury3 expression was detected in scattered presumably nerve cells of the D. pumila larva. Pharmacological modulations indicated that Brachyury3 is not under regulation of cWnt signaling in contrast to the other two Brachyury genes. Divergence in expression patterns and regulation suggest neofunctionalization of Brachyury3 in hydrozoans. acknowledgement: "We thank N.A.

Recently, it was conjectured that this model possesses an infinite tower of quasiconserved integrals of motion (charges) [D. Kurlov et al., Phys. Rev. B 105, 104302 (2022)]. In this work we first test this conjecture by investigating how the norm of the adiabatic gauge potential (AGP) scales with the system size, which is known to be a remarkably accurate measure of chaos. We find that for the perturbed XXX chain the behavior of the AGP norm corresponds to neither an integrable nor a chaotic regime, which supports the conjectured quasi-integrability of the model. We then prove the conjecture and explicitly construct the infinite set of quasiconserved charges. Our proof relies on the fact that the XXX chain perturbed by next-to-nearest exchange interaction can be viewed as a truncation of an integrable long-range deformation of the Heisenberg spin chain." acknowledgement: "The numerical computations in this work were performed using QuSpin [83, 84].

Complex I is the first and the largest enzyme of the respiratory chain which is essential for energy production. It couples the transfer of two electrons from NADH to ubiquinone with proton translocation across bacterial or inner mitochondrial membrane. The coupling mechanism between electron transfer and proton translocation is one of the biggest enigma in bioenergetics and structural biology. Even though the enzyme has been studied for decades, only recent technological advances in cryo-EM allowed its extensive structural investigation. \r\n\r\nComplex I from E.coli appears to be of special importance because it is a perfect model system with a rich mutant library, however the structure of the entire complex was unknown. In this thesis I have resolved structures of the minimal complex I version from E. coli in different states including reduced, inhibited, under reaction turnover and several others. Extensive structural analyses of these structures and comparison to structures from other species allowed to derive general features of conformational dynamics and propose a universal coupling mechanism. The mechanism is straightforward, robust and consistent with decades of experimental data available for complex I from different species. \r\n\r\nCyanobacterial NDH (cyanobacterial complex I) is a part of broad complex I superfamily and was studied as well in this thesis. It plays an important role in cyclic electron transfer (CET), during which electrons are cycled within PSI through ferredoxin and plastoquinone to generate proton gradient without NADPH production. Here, I solved structure of NDH and revealed additional state, which was not observed before. The novel “resting” state allowed to propose the mechanism of CET regulation. Moreover, conformational dynamics of NDH resembles one in complex I which suggest more broad universality of the proposed coupling mechanism.\r\n\r\nIn summary, results presented here helped to interpret decades of experimental data for complex I and contributed to fundamental mechanistic understanding of protein function.\r\n" acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Vladyslav full_name: Kravchuk, Vladyslav id: 4D62F2A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kravchuk citation: ama: Kravchuk V.

At the same time, the massive sizes of modern deep learning models have made their deployment to smaller devices more challenging; this is particularly important, as in many applications the users rely on accurate deep learning predictions, but they only have access to devices with limited memory and compute power. One solution to this problem is to prune neural networks, by setting as many of their parameters as possible to zero, to obtain accurate sparse models with lower memory footprint. Despite the great research progress in obtaining sparse models that preserve accuracy, while satisfying memory and computational constraints, there are still many challenges associated with efficiently training sparse models, as well as understanding their generalization properties.\r\n\r\nThe focus of this thesis is to investigate how the training process of sparse models can be made more efficient, and to understand the differences between sparse and dense models in terms of how well they can generalize to changes in the data distribution. We first study a method for co-training sparse and dense models, at a lower cost compared to regular training. With our method we can obtain very accurate sparse networks, and dense models that can recover the baseline accuracy. Furthermore, we are able to more easily analyze the differences, at prediction level, between the sparse-dense model pairs. Next, we investigate the generalization properties of sparse neural networks in more detail, by studying how well different sparse models trained on a larger task can adapt to smaller, more specialized tasks, in a transfer learning scenario. Our analysis across multiple pruning methods and sparsity levels reveals that sparse models provide features that can transfer similarly to or better than the dense baseline. However, the choice of the pruning method plays an important role, and can influence the results when the features are fixed (linear finetuning), or when they are allowed to adapt to the new task (full finetuning). Using sparse models with fixed masks for finetuning on new tasks has an important practical advantage, as it enables training neural networks on smaller devices. However, one drawback of current pruning methods is that the entire training cycle has to be repeated to obtain the initial sparse model, for every sparsity target; in consequence, the entire training process is costly and also multiple models need to be stored. In the last part of the thesis we propose a method that can train accurate dense models that are compressible in a single step, to multiple sparsity levels, without additional finetuning. Our method results in sparse models that can be competitive with existing pruning methods, and which can also successfully generalize to new tasks." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Elena-Alexandra full_name: Peste, Elena-Alexandra id: 32D78294-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Peste citation: ama: Peste E-A.

To what extent these biological patterns arise spontaneously through\r\nthe local interaction of individual constituents or are dictated by higher level instructions is\r\nstill an open question however there is evidence for the involvement of both types of process.\r\nWhere patterns arise spontaneously there is a long standing interest in how far the interplay\r\nof mechanics, e.g. force generation and deformation, and chemistry, e.g. gene regulation\r\nand signaling, contributes to the behaviour. This is because many systems are able to both\r\nchemically regulate mechanical force production and chemically sense mechanical deformation,\r\nforming mechano-chemical feedback loops which can potentially become unstable towards\r\nspatio and/or temporal patterning.\r\nWe work with experimental collaborators to investigate the possibility that this type of\r\ninteraction drives pattern formation in biological systems at different scales. We focus first on\r\ntissue-level ERK-density waves observed during the wound healing response across different\r\nsystems where many previous studies have proposed that patterns depend on polarized cell\r\nmigration and arise from a mechanical flocking-like mechanism. By combining theory with\r\nmechanical and optogenetic perturbation experiments on in vitro monolayers we instead find\r\nevidence for mechanochemical pattern formation involving only scalar bilateral feedbacks\r\nbetween ERK signaling and cell contraction. We perform further modeling and experiment\r\nto study how this instability couples with polar cell migration in order to produce a robust\r\nand efficient wound healing response. In a following chapter we implement ERK-density\r\ncoupling and cell migration in a 2D active vertex model to investigate the interaction of\r\nERK-density patterning with different tissue rheologies and find that the spatio-temporal\r\ndynamics are able to both locally and globally fluidize a tissue across the solid-fluid glass\r\ntransition. In a last chapter we move towards lower spatial scales in the context of subcellular\r\npatterning of the cell cytoskeleton where we investigate the transition between phases of\r\nspatially homogeneous temporal oscillations and chaotic spatio-temporal patterning in the\r\ndynamics of myosin and ROCK activities (a motor component of the actomyosin cytoskeleton\r\nand its activator). Experimental evidence supports an intrinsic chemical oscillator which we\r\nencode in a reaction model and couple to a contractile active gel description of the cell cortex.\r\nThe model exhibits phases of chemical oscillations and contractile spatial patterning which\r\nreproduce many features of the dynamics seen in Drosophila oocyte epithelia in vivo. However,\r\nadditional pharmacological perturbations to inhibit myosin contractility leaves the role of\r\ncontractile instability unclear. We discuss alternative hypotheses and investigate the possibility\r\nof reaction-diffusion instability." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Daniel R full_name: Boocock, Daniel R id: 453AF628-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Boocock orcid: 0000-0002-1585-2631 citation: ama: Boocock DR.

This can be achieved by precisely engineering defects in polycrystalline solids. There are multiple approaches to preparing such polycrystalline semiconductors, and the transformation of solution-processed colloidal nanoparticles is appealing because colloidal nanoparticles combine low cost with structural and compositional tunability along with rich surface chemistry. However, the multiple processes from nanoparticle synthesis to the final bulk nanocomposites are very complex. They involve nanoparticle purification, post-synthetic modifications, and finally consolidation (thermal treatments and densification). All these properties dictate the final material’s composition and microstructure, ultimately affecting its functional properties. This thesis explores the synthesis, surface chemistry and consolidation of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles into dense solids. In particular, the transformations that take place during these processes, and their effect on the material’s transport properties are evaluated.

The evolution of X chromosomes after they stop recombining in males, but before they become hemizygous, has not been well explored theoretically. We use the diffusion approximation to infer substitution rates of beneficial and deleterious mutations under such a scenario. Our results show that selection is less efficient on diploid X loci than on autosomal and hemizygous X loci under a wide range of parameters. This “slower-X” effect is stronger for genes affecting primarily (or only) male fitness, and for sexually antagonistic genes. These unusual dynamics suggest that some of the peculiar features of X chromosomes, such as the differential accumulation of genes with sex-specific functions, may start arising earlier than previously appreciated. acknowledgement: We thank the Vicoso and Barton groups and ISTA Scientific Computing Unit.

Although existing models account for oscillations and avalanches separately, they typically do not explain both phenomena, are too complex to analyze analytically or intractable to infer from data rigorously. Here we propose a feedback-driven Ising-like class of neural networks that captures avalanches and oscillations simultaneously and quantitatively. In the simplest yet fully microscopic model version, we can analytically compute the phase diagram and make direct contact with human brain resting-state activity recordings via tractable inference of the model’s two essential parameters. The inferred model quantitatively captures the dynamics over a broad range of scales, from single sensor oscillations to collective behaviors of extreme events and neuronal avalanches. Importantly, the inferred parameters indicate that the co-existence of scale-specific (oscillations) and scale-free (avalanches) dynamics occurs close to a non-equilibrium critical point at the onset of self-sustained oscillations. acknowledgement: This research was funded in whole, or in part, by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (grant no.

For instance, embryonic\r\nstem cell cultures can recapitulate the hallmarks of gastrulation, i.e. break symmetry\r\nleading to germ layer formation and morphogenesis, in a very reduced environment.\r\nThis leads to questions on specific contributions of embryo-specific features, such as\r\nthe presence of extraembryonic tissues, which are inherently involved in gastrulation\r\nin the full embryonic context. To address this, we established zebrafish embryonic\r\nexplants without the extraembryonic yolk cell, an important player as a signaling\r\nsource and for morphogenesis during gastrulation, as a model of ex vivo development.\r\nWe found that dorsal-marginal determinants are required and sufficient in these\r\nexplants to form and pattern all three germ layers.

We call this - the quantum noise. Certain physical processes allow this quantum noise to get correlated in conjugate physical variables. These quantum correlations can be used to go beyond the potential of our inherently noisy universe and obtain a quantum advantage over the classical applications. \r\n\r\nQuantum noise being inherent also means that, at the fundamental level, the physical quantities are not well defined and therefore, objects can stay in multiple states at the same time. For example, the position of a particle not being well defined means that the particle is in multiple positions at the same time. About 4 decades ago, we started exploring the possibility of using objects which can be in multiple states at the same time to increase the dimensionality in computation. Thus, the field of quantum computing was born. We discovered that using quantum entanglement, a property closely related to quantum correlations, can be used to speed up computation of certain problems, such as factorisation of large numbers, faster than any known classical algorithm. Thus began the pursuit to make quantum computers a reality. \r\n\r\nTill date, we have explored quantum control over many physical systems including photons, spins, atoms, ions and even simple circuits made up of superconducting material. However, there persists one ubiquitous theme. The more readily a system interacts with an external field or matter, the more easily we can control it. But this also means that such a system can easily interact with a noisy environment and quickly lose its coherence. Consequently, such systems like electron spins need to be protected from the environment to ensure the longevity of their coherence. Other systems like nuclear spins are naturally protected as they do not interact easily with the environment. But, due to the same reason, it is harder to interact with such systems. \r\n\r\nAfter decades of experimentation with various systems, we are convinced that no one type of quantum system would be the best for all the quantum applications. We would need hybrid systems which are all interconnected - much like the current internet where all sorts of devices can all talk to each other - but now for quantum devices. A quantum internet. \r\n\r\nOptical photons are the best contenders to carry information for the quantum internet. They can carry quantum information cheaply and without much loss - the same reasons which has made them the backbone of our current internet. Following this direction, many systems, like trapped ions, have already demonstrated successful quantum links over a large distances using optical photons. However, some of the most promising contenders for quantum computing which are based on microwave frequencies have been left behind. This is because high energy optical photons can adversely affect fragile low-energy microwave systems. \r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we present substantial progress on this missing quantum link between microwave and optics using electrooptical nonlinearities in lithium niobate. The nonlinearities are enhanced by using resonant cavities for all the involved modes leading to observation of strong direct coupling between optical and microwave frequencies. With this strong coupling we are not only able to achieve almost 100\\% internal conversion efficiency with low added noise, thus presenting a quantum-enabled transducer, but also we are able to observe novel effects such as cooling of a microwave mode using optics. The strong coupling regime also leads to direct observation of dynamical backaction effect between microwave and optical frequencies which are studied in detail here. Finally, we also report first observation of microwave-optics entanglement in form of two-mode squeezed vacuum squeezed 0.7dB below vacuum level. \r\nWith this new bridge between microwave and optics, the microwave-based quantum technologies can finally be a part of a quantum network which is based on optical photons - putting us one step closer to a future with quantum internet.

We present runtime verification of algorithmic fairness for systems whose models are unknown, but are assumed to have a Markov chain structure. We introduce a specification language that can model many common algorithmic fairness properties, such as demographic parity, equal opportunity, and social burden. We build monitors that observe a long sequence of events as generated by a given system, and output, after each observation, a quantitative estimate of how fair or biased the system was on that run until that point in time. The estimate is proven to be correct modulo a variable error bound and a given confidence level, where the error bound gets tighter as the observed sequence gets longer. Our monitors are of two types, and use, respectively, frequentist and Bayesian statistical inference techniques. While the frequentist monitors compute estimates that are objectively correct with respect to the ground truth, the Bayesian monitors compute estimates that are correct subject to a given prior belief about the system’s model. Using a prototype implementation, we show how we can monitor if a bank is fair in giving loans to applicants from different social backgrounds, and if a college is fair in admitting students while maintaining a reasonable financial burden on the society. Although they exhibit different theoretical complexities in certain cases, in our experiments, both frequentist and Bayesian monitors took less than a millisecond to update their verdicts after each observation. acknowledgement: 'This work is supported by the European Research Council under Grant No.: ERC-2020-AdG101020093.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: Yes (in subscription journal) author: - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000-0002-2985-7724 - first_name: Mahyar full_name: Karimi, Mahyar id: f1dedef5-2f78-11ee-989a-c4c97bccf506 last_name: Karimi orcid: 0009-0005-0820-1696 - first_name: Konstantin full_name: Kueffner, Konstantin id: 8121a2d0-dc85-11ea-9058-af578f3b4515 last_name: Kueffner orcid: 0000-0001-8974-2542 - first_name: Kaushik full_name: Mallik, Kaushik id: 0834ff3c-6d72-11ec-94e0-b5b0a4fb8598 last_name: Mallik orcid: 0000-0001-9864-7475 citation: ama: 'Henzinger TA, Karimi M, Kueffner K, Mallik K.

Based on the input potential, the presented approach numerically solves the Schrödinger equation in position space at each momentum space point. Thus, in addition to the band structure, the method inherently provides information about the state functions and probability densities in position space at each momentum space point considered. The generalized, adapted Numerov framework provided reliable estimates for a variety of increasingly complex test suites in one, two, and three dimensions. The accuracy of the proposed methodology was benchmarked against results obtained for the analytically solvable Kronig-Penney model. Furthermore, the presented numerical solver was applied to a model potential representing a 2D optical lattice being a challenging application relevant, for example, in the field of quantum computing. acknowledgement: Financial supports for this work via a PhD scholarship for J.

Distinct cellular processes such as cell division and cell rearrangements underlie tissue morphogenesis. Yet how the distinct processes are controlled and coordinated, and how they contribute to morphogenesis is poorly understood. In our study, we addressed these questions using the developing mouse neural tube. This epithelial organ transforms from a flat epithelial sheet to an epithelial tube while increasing in size and undergoing morpho-gen-mediated patterning. The extent and mechanism of neural progenitor rearrangement within the developing mouse neuroepithelium is unknown. To investigate this, we per-formed high resolution lineage tracing analysis to quantify the extent of epithelial rear-rangement at different stages of neural tube development. We quantitatively described the relationship between apical cell size with cell cycle dependent interkinetic nuclear migra-tions (IKNM) and performed high cellular resolution live imaging of the neuroepithelium to study the dynamics of junctional remodeling. Furthermore, developed a vertex model of the neuroepithelium to investigate the quantitative contribution of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and mechanical properties to the epithelial rearrangement dynamics and validated the model predictions through functional experiments. Our analysis revealed that at early developmental stages, the apical cell area kinetics driven by IKNM induce high lev-els of cell rearrangements in a regime of high junctional tension and contractility. After E9.5, there is a sharp decline in the extent of cell rearrangements, suggesting that the epi-thelium transitions from a fluid-like to a solid-like state. We found that this transition is regulated by the growth rate of the tissue, rather than by changes in cell-cell adhesion and contractile forces. Overall, our study provides a quantitative description of the relationship between tissue growth, cell cycle dynamics, epithelia rearrangements and the emergent tissue material properties, and novel insights on how epithelial cell dynamics influences tissue morphogenesis. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Laura full_name: Bocanegra, Laura id: 4896F754-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bocanegra citation: ama: Bocanegra L.

We show experimentally that, in agreement with our predictions, receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells change their shape along the dorsoventral retinal axis, with a marked surround asymmetry at the visual horizon. Our work demonstrates that, according to principles of efficient coding, the panoramic structure of natural scenes is exploited by the retina across space and cell-types. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio acknowledgement: We thank Hiroki Asari for sharing the dataset of naturalistic images, Anton Sumser for sharing visual stimulus code, Yoav Ben Simon for initial explorative work with the generation of AAVs, and Tomas Vega-Zuñiga for help with immunostainings.

Recently, this dichotomy has been lifted to quantitative properties, which are arbitrary functions from infinite words to partially-ordered domains. We look into harnessing the dichotomy for the specific classes of quantitative properties expressed by quantitative automata. These automata contain finitely many states and rational-valued transition weights, and their common value functions Inf, Sup, LimInf, LimSup, LimInfAvg, LimSupAvg, and DSum map infinite words into the totallyordered domain of real numbers. In this automata-theoretic setting, we establish a connection between quantitative safety and topological continuity and provide an alternative characterization of quantitative safety and liveness in terms of their boolean counterparts. For all common value functions, we show how the safety closure of a quantitative automaton can be constructed in PTime, and we provide PSpace-complete checks of whether a given quantitative automaton is safe or live, with the exception of LimInfAvg and LimSupAvg automata, for which the safety check is in ExpSpace. Moreover, for deterministic Sup, LimInf, and LimSup automata, we give PTime decompositions into safe and live automata. These decompositions enable the separation of techniques for safety and liveness verification for quantitative specifications. acknowledgement: We thank Christof Löding for pointing us to some results on PSpace-hardess of universality problems and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.

These capabilities are made possible thanks to a variety of\r\nchanges in the brain throughout adulthood, regrouped under the term \"plasticity\". Some cells\r\nin the brain —neurons— and specifically changes in the connections between neurons, the\r\nsynapses, were shown to be crucial for the formation, selection, and consolidation of memories\r\nfrom past experiences. These ongoing changes of synapses across time are called synaptic\r\nplasticity. Understanding how a myriad of biochemical processes operating at individual\r\nsynapses can somehow work in concert to give rise to meaningful changes in behavior is a\r\nfascinating problem and an active area of research.\r\nHowever, the experimental search for the precise plasticity mechanisms at play in the brain\r\nis daunting, as it is difficult to control and observe synapses during learning. Theoretical\r\napproaches have thus been the default method to probe the plasticity-behavior connection. Such\r\nstudies attempt to extract unifying principles across synapses and model all observed synaptic\r\nchanges using plasticity rules: equations that govern the evolution of synaptic strengths across\r\ntime in neuronal network models. These rules can use many relevant quantities to determine\r\nthe magnitude of synaptic changes, such as the precise timings of pre- and postsynaptic\r\naction potentials, the recent neuronal activity levels, the state of neighboring synapses, etc.\r\nHowever, analytical studies rely heavily on human intuition and are forced to make simplifying\r\nassumptions about plasticity rules.\r\nIn this thesis, we aim to assist and augment human intuition in this search for plasticity rules.\r\nWe explore whether a numerical approach could automatically discover the plasticity rules\r\nthat elicit desired behaviors in large networks of interconnected neurons. This approach is\r\ndubbed meta-learning synaptic plasticity: learning plasticity rules which themselves will make\r\nneuronal networks learn how to solve a desired task. We first write all the potential plasticity\r\nmechanisms to consider using a single expression with adjustable parameters. We then optimize\r\nthese plasticity parameters using evolutionary strategies or Bayesian inference on tasks known\r\nto involve synaptic plasticity, such as familiarity detection and network stabilization.\r\nWe show that these automated approaches are powerful tools, able to complement established\r\nanalytical methods. By comprehensively screening plasticity rules at all synapse types in\r\nrealistic, spiking neuronal network models, we discover entire sets of degenerate plausible\r\nplasticity rules that reliably elicit memory-related behaviors. Our approaches allow for more\r\nrobust experimental predictions, by abstracting out the idiosyncrasies of individual plasticity\r\nrules, and provide fresh insights on synaptic plasticity in spiking network models.\r\n" alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Basile J full_name: Confavreux, Basile J id: C7610134-B532-11EA-BD9F-F5753DDC885E last_name: Confavreux citation: ama: 'Confavreux BJ.

The phenomenon is successfully modeled by Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. From a mathematical perspective, BCS theory has been studied extensively for systems without boundary. However, little is known in the presence of boundaries. With the help of numerical methods physicists observed that the critical temperature may increase in the presence of a boundary. The goal of this thesis is to understand the influence of boundaries on the critical temperature in BCS theory and to give a first rigorous justification of these observations. On the way, we also study two-body Schrödinger operators on domains with boundaries and prove additional results for superconductors without boundary.\r\n\r\nBCS theory is based on a non-linear functional, where the minimizer indicates whether the system is superconducting or in the normal, non-superconducting state. By considering the Hessian of the BCS functional at the normal state, one can analyze whether the normal state is possibly a minimum of the BCS functional and estimate the critical temperature. The Hessian turns out to be a linear operator resembling a Schrödinger operator for two interacting particles, but with more complicated kinetic energy. As a first step, we study the two-body Schrödinger operator in the presence of boundaries.\r\nFor Neumann boundary conditions, we prove that the addition of a boundary can create new eigenvalues, which correspond to the two particles forming a bound state close to the boundary.\r\n\r\nSecond, we need to understand superconductivity in the translation invariant setting. While in three dimensions this has been extensively studied, there is no mathematical literature for the one and two dimensional cases. In dimensions one and two, we compute the weak coupling asymptotics of the critical temperature and the energy gap in the translation invariant setting. We also prove that their ratio is independent of the microscopic details of the model in the weak coupling limit; this property is referred to as universality.\r\n\r\nIn the third part, we study the critical temperature of superconductors in the presence of boundaries. We start by considering the one-dimensional case of a half-line with contact interaction. Then, we generalize the results to generic interactions and half-spaces in one, two and three dimensions. Finally, we compare the critical temperature of a quarter space in two dimensions to the critical temperatures of a half-space and of the full space." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Barbara full_name: Roos, Barbara id: 5DA90512-D80F-11E9-8994-2E2EE6697425 last_name: Roos orcid: 0000-0002-9071-5880 citation: ama: Roos B.

In the one-dimensional case with point interactions, we prove that the critical temperature is strictly larger than the bulk value, at least at weak coupling. In particular, the Cooper-pair wave function localizes near the boundary, an effect that cannot be modeled by effective Neumann boundary conditions on the order parameter as often imposed in Ginzburg–Landau theory. We also show that the relative shift in critical temperature vanishes if the coupling constant either goes to zero or to infinity. acknowledgement: We thank Egor Babaev for encouraging us to study this problem, and Rupert Frank for many fruitful discussions. scussions.

In sequential search data structures, batching reduces latency by reducing the number of cache misses and shortening the chain of pointers to dereference. Applying batching to concurrent data structures is challenging, because it is difficult to maintain the search property and keep contention low in the presence of batching.\r\nIn this paper, we present a general methodology for leveraging batching in concurrent search data structures, called BatchBoost. BatchBoost builds a search data structure from distinct \"data\" and \"index\" layers. The data layer’s purpose is to store a batch of key/value pairs in each of its nodes. The index layer uses an unmodified concurrent search data structure to route operations to a position in the data layer that is \"close\" to where the corresponding key should exist. The requirements on the index and data layers are low: with minimal effort, we were able to compose three highly scalable concurrent search data structures based on three original data structures as the index layers with a batched version of the Lazy List as the data layer. The resulting BatchBoost data structures provide significant performance improvements over their original counterparts." alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '35' article_processing_charge: Yes author: - first_name: Vitaly full_name: Aksenov, Vitaly last_name: Aksenov - first_name: Michael full_name: Anoprenko, Michael last_name: Anoprenko - first_name: Alexander full_name: Fedorov, Alexander id: 2e711909-896a-11ed-bdf8-eb0f5a2984c6 last_name: Fedorov - first_name: Michael full_name: Spear, Michael last_name: Spear citation: ama: 'Aksenov V, Anoprenko M, Fedorov A, Spear M.

However, its precise function in cells is still unclear, as is the consequence of ACBD6 defects on human pathophysiology. Utilizing exome sequencing and extensive international data sharing efforts, we identified 45 affected individuals from 28 unrelated families (consanguinity 93%) with bi-allelic pathogenic, predominantly loss-of-function (18/20) variants in ACBD6. We generated zebrafish and Xenopus tropicalis acbd6 knockouts by CRISPR/Cas9 and characterized the role of ACBD6 on protein N-myristoylation with YnMyr chemical proteomics in the model organisms and human cells, with the latter also being subjected further to ACBD6 peroxisomal localization studies. The affected individuals (23 males and 22 females), with ages ranging from 1 to 50 years old, typically present with a complex and progressive disease involving moderate-to-severe global developmental delay/intellectual disability (100%) with significant expressive language impairment (98%), movement disorders (97%), facial dysmorphism (95%), and mild cerebellar ataxia (85%) associated with gait impairment (94%), limb spasticity/hypertonia (76%), oculomotor (71%) and behavioural abnormalities (65%), overweight (59%), microcephaly (39%) and epilepsy (33%). The most conspicuous and common movement disorder was dystonia (94%), frequently leading to early-onset progressive postural deformities (97%), limb dystonia (55%), and cervical dystonia (31%). A jerky tremor in the upper limbs (63%), a mild head tremor (59%), parkinsonism/hypokinesia developing with advancing age (32%), and simple motor and vocal tics were among other frequent movement disorders. Midline brain malformations including corpus callosum abnormalities (70%), hypoplasia/agenesis of the anterior commissure (66%), short midbrain and small inferior cerebellar vermis (38% each), as well as hypertrophy of the clava (24%) were common neuroimaging findings. acbd6-deficient zebrafish and Xenopus models effectively recapitulated many clinical phenotypes reported in patients including movement disorders, progressive neuromotor impairment, seizures, microcephaly, craniofacial dysmorphism, and midbrain defects accompanied by developmental delay with increased mortality over time. Unlike ACBD5, ACBD6 did not show a peroxisomal localisation and ACBD6-deficiency was not associated with altered peroxisomal parameters in patient fibroblasts. Significant differences in YnMyr-labelling were observed for 68 co- and 18 post-translationally N-myristoylated proteins in patient-derived fibroblasts. N-Myristoylation was similarly affected in acbd6-deficient zebrafish and Xenopus tropicalis models, including Fus, Marcks, and Chchd-related proteins implicated in neurological diseases. The present study provides evidence that bi-allelic pathogenic variants in ACBD6 lead to a distinct neurodevelopmental syndrome accompanied by complex and progressive cognitive and movement disorders. article_number: awad380 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: -

This universality has rigorously been proven quite recently in three spatial dimensions and three different limiting regimes: weak coupling, low density and high density. The goal of this short note is to extend the universal behavior to lower dimensions d=1,2 and give an exemplary proof in the weak coupling limit." acknowledgement: We thank Robert Seiringer for comments on the paper.

Two design principles behind payment channel networks are\r\nefficiency and privacy. Payment channel networks improve efficiency by allowing users\r\nto transact in a peer-to-peer fashion along multi-hop routes in the network, avoiding\r\nthe lengthy process of consensus on the blockchain. Transacting over payment channel\r\nnetworks also improves privacy as these transactions are not broadcast to the blockchain.\r\nDespite the influx of recent protocols built on top of payment channel networks and\r\ntheir analysis, a common shortcoming of many of these protocols is that they typically\r\nfocus only on either improving efficiency or privacy, but not both. Another limitation\r\non the efficiency front is that the models used to model actions, costs and utilities of\r\nusers are limited or come with unrealistic assumptions.\r\nThis thesis aims to address some of the shortcomings of recent protocols and algorithms\r\non payment channel networks, particularly in their privacy and efficiency aspects. We\r\nfirst present a payment route discovery protocol based on hub labelling and private\r\ninformation retrieval that hides the route query and is also efficient. We then present\r\na rebalancing protocol that formulates the rebalancing problem as a linear program\r\nand solves the linear program using multiparty computation so as to hide the channel\r\nbalances. The rebalancing solution as output by our protocol is also globally optimal.\r\nWe go on to develop more realistic models of the action space, costs, and utilities of\r\nboth existing and new users that want to join the network. In each of these settings,\r\nwe also develop algorithms to optimise the utility of these users with good guarantees\r\non the approximation and competitive ratios." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michelle X full_name: Yeo, Michelle X id: 2D82B818-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Yeo citation: ama: Yeo MX.

To the observer it is therefore intriguing\r\nwhen a moving collective exhibits order. Collective motion of flocks of birds, schools\r\nof fish or swarms of self-propelled particles or robots have been studied extensively\r\nover the past decades but the mechanisms involved in the transition from chaos to\r\norder remain unclear. Here, the interactions, that in most systems give rise to chaos,\r\nsustain order. In this thesis we investigate mechanisms that preserve, destabilize\r\nor lead to the ordered state. We show that endothelial cells migrating in circular\r\nconfinements transition to a collective rotating state and concomitantly synchronize\r\nthe frequencies of nucleating actin waves within individual cells. Consequently,\r\nthe frequency dependent cell migration speed uniformizes across the population.\r\nComplementary to the WAVE dependent nucleation of traveling actin waves, we\r\nshow that in leukocytes the actin polymerization depending on WASp generates\r\npushing forces locally at stationary patches. Next, in pipe flows, we study methods\r\nto disrupt the self–sustaining cycle of turbulence and therefore relaminarize the\r\nflow. While we find in pulsating flow conditions that turbulence emerges through a\r\nhelical instability during the decelerating phase. Finally, we show quantitatively in\r\nbrain slices of mice that wild-type control neurons can compensate the migratory\r\ndeficits of a genetically modified neuronal sub–population in the developing cortex." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: Bio alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michael full_name: Riedl, Michael id: 3BE60946-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Riedl orcid: 0000-0003-4844-6311 citation: ama: Riedl M.

To the observer it is therefore intriguing when a moving collective exhibits order. Collective motion of flocks of birds, schools of fish or swarms of self-propelled particles or robots have been studied extensively over the past decades but the mechanisms involved in the transition from chaos to order remain unclear. Here, the interactions, that in most systems give rise to chaos, sustain order. In this thesis we investigate mechanisms that preserve, destabilize or lead to the ordered state. We show that endothelial cells migrating in circular confinements transition to a collective rotating state and concomitantly synchronize the frequencies of nucleating actin waves within individual cells. Consequently, the frequency dependent cell migration speed uniformizes across the population. Complementary to the WAVE dependent nucleation of traveling actin waves, we show that in leukocytes the actin polymerization depending on WASp generates pushing forces locally at stationary patches. Next, in pipe flows, we study methods to disrupt the self--sustaining cycle of turbulence and therefore relaminarize the flow. While we find in pulsating flow conditions that turbulence emerges through a helical instability during the decelerating phase. Finally, we show quantitatively in brain slices of mice that wild-type control neurons can compensate the migratory deficits of a genetically modified neuronal sub--population in the developing cortex.

Because the structures’ “architectures” vary widely—with elements such as beams, thin shells, and solid bulks—it is difficult to explore them using existing representations. Generic approaches like voxel grids are versatile, but it is cumbersome to represent and edit individual structures; architecture-specific approaches address these issues, but are incompatible with one another. By contrast, our procedural graph succinctly represents the construction process for any structure using a simple skeleton annotated with spatially varying thickness. To express the highly constrained triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) in this manner, we present the first fully automated version of the conjugate surface construction method, which allows novices to create complex TPMS from intuitive input. We demonstrate our representation’s expressiveness, accuracy, and compactness by constructing a wide range of established structures and hundreds of novel structures with diverse architectures and material properties. We also conduct a user study to verify our representation’s ease-of-use and ability to expand engineers’ capacity for exploration. acknowledgement: "The authors thank Mina Konaković Luković and Michael Foshey for their early contributions to this project, David Palmer and Paul Zhang for their insightful discussions about minimal surfaces and the CSCM, Julian Panetta for providing the Elastic Textures code, and Hannes Hergeth for his feedback and support.

Conventional MSI experiments require to predefine the surface of interest based on photographic or microscopic images. Typically, these boundaries can no longer be changed or adjusted once the experiment has been started. In terms of a more interactive approach we recently developed a pen-like ionization interface which is directly connected to the mass spectrometer. The device allows the user to ionize chemicals by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and to freely move the interface over a surface of interest. A mini camera, which is mounted on the tip of the pen, magnifies the desorption area and enables a simple positioning of the pen. The combination of optical data from the camera module and chemical data obtained by mass analysis facilitates a novel type of imaging experiment: interactive mass spectrometry imaging (IMSI). For this application, we present a novel approach for a robust, optical flow-based motion detection. While the live video stream from the camera is used to track the pen''s motion across the surface a post-acquisition algorithm correlates the coordinates of the pen trajectory with respective mass spectra obtained from a simultaneous mass spectrometric data acquisition. This algorithm is no longer dependent on a single, manually applied optical marker on the sample surface, which has to be visible on all video frames throughout the analysis. The advanced DESI-IMSI method was successfully tested on inkjet-printed letters as well as mouse brain tissue samples. Validation of the results was done by comparing DESI-IMSI with standard DESI-MSI data.' acknowledgement: We would like to thank Marco Sealey Cardona, PhD for help with the mouse brain samples and acknowledge the financial support by 1669 Förderkreis of the University of Innsbruck, Austria Wirtschaftsservice (AWS), D.

How this apparently discontinuous change from low- to high-dimensional motion can be rationalized within the framework of the Navier-Stokes equations is not well understood. Exploiting geometrical properties of transitional channel flow we trace turbulence to far lower Reynolds numbers (Re) than previously possible and identify the complete path that reversibly links fully turbulent motion to an invariant solution. This precursor of turbulence destabilizes rapidly with Re, and the accompanying explosive increase in attractor dimension effectively marks the transition between deterministic and de facto stochastic dynamics. acknowledgement: We thank Baofang Song as well as the developers of Channelflow for sharing their numerical codes, and Mukund Vasudevan and Holger Kantz for fruitful discussions.

This often translates into a\r\nintricate array of sex-specific natural and sexual selection on traits that have a shared\r\ngenetic basis between both sexes, causing a genetic sexual conflict. The resolution of\r\nthis conflict mostly relies on the evolution of sex-specific expression of the shared genes,\r\nleading to phenotypic sexual dimorphism. Such sex-specific gene expression is thought\r\nto evolve via modifications of the genetic networks ultimately linked to sex-determining\r\ntranscription factors. Although much empirical and theoretical evidence supports this\r\nstandard picture of the molecular basis of sexual conflict resolution, there still are a\r\nfew open questions regarding the complex array of selective forces driving phenotypic\r\ndi↵erentiation between the sexes, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying sexspecific adaptation. I address some of these open questions in my PhD thesis.\r\nFirst, how do patterns of phenotypic sexual dimorphism vary within populations,\r\nas a response to the temporal and spatial changes in sex-specific selective forces? To\r\ntackle this question, I analyze the patterns of sex-specific phenotypic variation along\r\nthree life stages and across populations spanning the whole geographical range of Rumex\r\nhastatulus, a wind-pollinated angiosperm, in the first Chapter of the thesis.\r\nSecond, how do gene expression patterns lead to phenotypic dimorphism, and what\r\nare the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed transcriptomic variation? I\r\naddress this question by examining the sex- and tissue-specific expression variation in\r\nnewly-generated datasets of sex-specific expression in heads and gonads of Drosophila\r\nmelanogaster. I additionally used two complementary approaches for the study of the\r\ngenetic basis of sex di↵erences in gene expression in the second and third Chapters of\r\nthe thesis.\r\nThird, how does intersex correlation, thought to be one of the main aspects constraining the ability for the two sexes to decouple, interact with the evolution of sexual\r\ndimorphism? I develop models of sex-specific stabilizing selection, mutation and drift\r\nto formalize common intuition regarding the patterns of covariation between intersex\r\ncorrelation and sexual dimorphism in the fourth Chapter of the thesis.\r\nAlltogether, the work described in this PhD thesis provides useful insights into the\r\nlinks between genetic, transcriptomic and phenotypic layers of sex-specific variation,\r\nand contributes to our general understanding of the dynamics of sexual dimorphism\r\nevolution." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Gemma full_name: Puixeu Sala, Gemma id: 33AB266C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Puixeu Sala orcid: 0000-0001-8330-1754 citation: ama: 'Puixeu Sala G.

Here, we use allele-specific gene expression of parental and reciprocal hybrid crosses between 6 Drosophila\r\nmelanogaster inbred lines to quantify cis- and trans-regulatory variation in heads and gonads of both sexes separately across 3 replicate\r\ncrosses. Our results suggest that female and male heads, as well as ovaries, have a similar regulatory architecture. On the other hand,\r\ntestes display more and substantially different cis-regulatory effects, suggesting that sex differences in the regulatory architecture that\r\nhave been previously observed may largely derive from testis-specific effects. We also examine the difference in cis-regulatory variation\r\nof genes across different levels of sex bias in gonads and heads. Consistent with the idea that intersex correlations constrain expression\r\nand can lead to sexual antagonism, we find more cis variation in unbiased and moderately biased genes in heads. In ovaries, reduced cis\r\nvariation is observed for male-biased genes, suggesting that cis variants acting on these genes in males do not lead to changes in ovary\r\nexpression. Finally, we examine the dominance patterns of gene expression and find that sex- and tissue-specific patterns of inheritance\r\nas well as trans-regulatory variation are highly variable across biological crosses, although these were performed in highly controlled\r\nexperimental conditions. This highlights the importance of using various genetic backgrounds to infer generalizable patterns." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: We thank members of the Vicoso Group for comments on the manuscript, the Scientific Computing Unit at ISTA for technical support, and 2 anonymous reviewers for useful feedback.

Its definition makes use of an interior-boundary condition. Here, we develop for this Hamiltonian a corresponding theory of the Bohmian configuration. That is, we (non-rigorously) construct a Markov jump process $(Q_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ in the configuration space of a variable number of particles that is $|\psi_t|^2$-distributed at every time t and follows Bohmian trajectories between the jumps. The jumps correspond to particle creation or annihilation events and occur either to or from a configuration with a particle located at the source. The process is the natural analog of Bell's jump process, and a central piece in its construction is the determination of the rate of particle creation. The construction requires an analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the Bohmian trajectories near the source. We find that the particle reaches the source with radial speed 0, but orbits around the source infinitely many times in finite time before absorption (or after emission). acknowledgement: J H gratefully acknowledges partial financial support by the ERC Advanced Grant 'RMTBeyond' No. 101020331. article_number: '445201' article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: Sven Joscha full_name: Henheik, Sven Joscha id: 31d731d7-d235-11ea-ad11-b50331c8d7fb last_name: Henheik orcid: 0000-0003-1106-327X - first_name: Roderich full_name: Tumulka, Roderich last_name: Tumulka citation: ama: 'Henheik SJ, Tumulka R.

To understand these, we construct three sets of machine learning potentials that are simultaneously applicable to various TiO2 surfaces, based on three density-functional-theory approximations. Here we show the water dissociation free energies on seven pristine TiO2 surfaces, and predict that anatase (100), anatase (110), rutile (001), and rutile (011) favor water dissociation, anatase (101) and rutile (100) have mostly molecular adsorption, while the simulations of rutile (110) sensitively depend on the slab thickness and molecular adsorption is preferred with thick slabs. Moreover, using an automated algorithm, we reveal that these surfaces follow different types of atomistic mechanisms for proton transfer and water dissociation: one-step, two-step, or both. These mechanisms can be rationalized based on the arrangements of water molecules on the different surfaces. Our finding thus demonstrates that the different pristine TiO2 surfaces react with water in distinct ways, and cannot be represented using just the low-energy anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces.' acknowledgement: F.S., J.H., and B.C. thank the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) for the generous allocation of CPU hours via production project s1108 at the Piz Daint supercomputer.

However, there is thought to be an under-sampling of self-incompatible taxa in the current literature. In this thesis, I study inbreeding depression in the SI plant species Antirrhinum majus using both greenhouse crosses and a large collected field dataset. Additionally, the gametophytic S-locus of A. majus is highly heterozygous and polymorphic, thus making assembly and discovery of S-alleles very difficult. Here, 206 new alleles of the male component SLFs are presented, along with a phylogeny showing the high conservation with alleles from another Antirrhinum species. Lastly, selected sites within the protein structure of SLFs are investigated, with one site in particular highlighted as potentially being involved in the SI recognition mechanism.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Louise S full_name: Arathoon, Louise S id: 2CFCFF98-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Arathoon orcid: 0000-0003-1771-714X citation: ama: Arathoon LS.

This convergence result does not require any regularity assumption on the measures, though experiments suggest that the rate is not sharp. Via an analysis of the duality gap we also obtain the convergence rates for the gradient of the optimal potentials and the velocity field under mild regularity assumptions. To obtain such rates we discretize the dual formulation of the dynamic optimal transport problem and use the mature literature related to the error due to discretizing the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. acknowledgement: "The authors would like to thank Chris Wojtan for his continuous support and several interesting discussions.

In the forefront of the current solution is the idea of separating the execution of the updates encoded in a block from the ordering of blocks. In order to achieve this, a new class of protocols called rollups has emerged. Rollups have as input a total ordering of valid and invalid transactions and as output a new valid state-transition.\r\nIf we study rollups from a distributed computing perspective, we uncover that rollups take as input the output of a Byzantine Atomic Broadcast (BAB) protocol and convert it to a State Machine Replication (SMR) protocol. BAB and SMR, however, are considered equivalent as far as distributed computing is concerned and a solution to one can easily be retrofitted to solve the other simply by adding/removing an execution step before the validation of the input.\r\nThis “easy” step of retrofitting an atomic broadcast solution to implement an SMR has, however, been overlooked in practice. In this paper, we formalize the problem and show that after BAB is solved, traditional impossibility results for consensus no longer apply towards an SMR. Leveraging this we propose a distributed execution protocol that allows reduced execution and storage cost per executor (O(log2n/n)) without relaxing the network assumptions of the underlying BAB protocol and providing censorship-resistance. Finally, we propose efficient non-interactive light client constructions that leverage our efficient execution protocols and do not require any synchrony assumptions or expensive ZK-proofs." acknowledgement: 'Eleftherios Kokoris-Kogias is partially supported by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) grant No: F8512-N.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Christos full_name: Stefo, Christos id: a20e8902-32b0-11ee-9fa8-b23fa638b793 last_name: Stefo - first_name: Zhuolun full_name: Xiang, Zhuolun last_name: Xiang - first_name: Eleftherios full_name: Kokoris Kogias, Eleftherios id: f5983044-d7ef-11ea-ac6d-fd1430a26d30 last_name: Kokoris Kogias citation: ama: 'Stefo C, Xiang Z, Kokoris Kogias E.

Formal\r\nverification and control of finite state stochastic systems, a subfield of formal methods\r\nalso known as probabilistic model checking, is well studied. In contrast, formal verification and control of infinite state stochastic systems have received comparatively\r\nless attention. However, infinite state stochastic systems commonly arise in practice.\r\nFor instance, probabilistic models that contain continuous probability distributions such\r\nas normal or uniform, or stochastic dynamical systems which are a classical model for\r\ncontrol under uncertainty, both give rise to infinite state systems.\r\nThe goal of this thesis is to contribute to laying theoretical and algorithmic foundations\r\nof fully automated formal verification and control of infinite state stochastic systems,\r\nwith a particular focus on systems that may be executed over a long or infinite time.\r\nWe consider formal verification of infinite state stochastic systems in the setting of\r\nstatic analysis of probabilistic programs and formal control in the setting of controller\r\nsynthesis in stochastic dynamical systems. For both problems, we present some of the\r\nfirst fully automated methods for probabilistic (a.k.a. quantitative) reachability and\r\nsafety analysis applicable to infinite time horizon systems. We also advance the state\r\nof the art of probability 1 (a.k.a. qualitative) reachability analysis for both problems.\r\nFinally, for formal controller synthesis in stochastic dynamical systems, we present a\r\nnovel framework for learning neural network control policies in stochastic dynamical\r\nsystems with formal guarantees on correctness with respect to quantitative reachability,\r\nsafety or reach-avoid specifications.\r\n" alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dorde full_name: Zikelic, Dorde id: 294AA7A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zikelic orcid: 0000-0002-4681-1699 citation: ama: Zikelic D.

To achieve a low-cost and scalable approach, we propose creating designs from flat PCB panels bent in-place along the surface of a 3D printed core. Working with standard rigid PCBs enables the use of\r\nestablished PCB manufacturing services, allowing the fabrication of designs with several hundred LEDs. \r\nOur approach optimizes the PCB geometry for folding, and then jointly optimizes the LED packing, circuit and routing, solving a challenging layout problem under strict manufacturing requirements. Unlike paper, PCBs cannot bend beyond a certain point without breaking. Therefore, we introduce parametric cut patterns acting as hinges, designed to allow bending while remaining compact. To tackle the joint optimization of placement, circuit and routing, we propose a specialized algorithm that splits the global problem into one sub-problem per triangle, which is then individually solved.\r\nOur technique generates PCB blueprints in a completely automated way. After being fabricated by a PCB manufacturing service, the boards are bent and glued by the user onto the 3D printed support. We demonstrate our technique on a range of physical models and virtual examples, creating intricate surface light patterns from hundreds of LEDs." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop acknowledgement: We thank the reviewers for the valuable feedback.

Here we report a study of the transport and microwave response of Josephson arrays with interactions exceeding this level. Contrary to expectations, we observe that the array resistance drops dramatically as the temperature is decreased—reminiscent of superconducting behaviour—and then saturates at low temperature. Applying a magnetic field, we eventually observe a transition to a highly resistive regime. These observations can be understood within a theoretical picture that accounts for the effect of thermal fluctuations on the insulating phase. On the basis of the agreement between experiment and theory, we suggest that apparent superconductivity in our Josephson arrays arises from melting the zero-temperature insulator. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: NanoFab acknowledgement: We thank D.

We study theoretically the incompressible flow profiles around ±1 defects induced by polar and dipolar active forces. We show that dipolar forces induce vortical flows around the +1 defect, while the flow around the −1 defect has an 8-fold rotational symmetry. The vortical flow changes its chirality near the +1 defect core in the absence of the friction with a substrate. We show analytically that the flow induced by polar active forces is vortical near the +1 defect and is 4-fold symmetric near the −1 defect, while it becomes uniform in the far-field. For a pair of oppositely charged defects, this polar flow contributes to a mutual interaction force that depends only on the orientation of the defect pair relative to the background polarization, and that enhances defect pair annihilation. This is in contradiction with the effect of dipolar active forces which decay inversely proportional with the defect separation distance. As such, our analyses reveals a long-ranged mechanism for the pairwise interaction between topological defects in polar active matter. acknowledgement: J. Rø and L.

However, this "universal" law provides only a necessary condition for robustness, and it is unable to discriminate between models. In this paper, we address these gaps by focusing on empirical risk minimization in two prototypical settings, namely, random features and the neural tangent kernel (NTK). We prove that, for random features, the model is not robust for any degree of over-parameterization, even when the necessary condition coming from the universal law of robustness is satisfied. In contrast, for even activations, the NTK model meets the universal lower bound, and it is robust as soon as the necessary condition on over-parameterization is fulfilled. This also addresses a conjecture in prior work by Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj. Our analysis decouples the effect of the kernel of the model from an "interaction matrix", which describes the interaction with the test data and captures the effect of the activation. Our theoretical results are corroborated by numerical evidence on both synthetic and standard datasets (MNIST, CIFAR-10).' acknowledgement: "Simone Bombari and Marco Mondelli were partially supported by the 2019 Lopez-Loreta prize, and\r\nthe authors would like to thank Hamed Hassani for helpful discussions.\r\n" alternative_title: - PMLR article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Simone full_name: Bombari, Simone id: ca726dda-de17-11ea-bc14-f9da834f63aa last_name: Bombari - first_name: Shayan full_name: Kiyani, Shayan id: f5a2b424-e339-11ed-8435-ff3b4fe70cf8 last_name: Kiyani - first_name: Marco full_name: Mondelli, Marco id: 27EB676C-8706-11E9-9510-7717E6697425 last_name: Mondelli orcid: 0000-0002-3242-7020 citation: ama: 'Bombari S, Kiyani S, Mondelli M.

Therefore, the metabolism of the mature cerebral cortex is geared towards preserving metabolic homeostasis whilst generating significant amounts of energy. This requires a precise interplay between diverse metabolic pathways, spanning from a tissue-wide scale to the level of individual neurons. Disturbances to this delicate metabolic equilibrium, such as those resulting from maternal malnutrition\r\nor mutations affecting metabolic enzymes, often result in neuropathological variants of neurodevelopment. For instance, mutations in SLC7A5, a transporter of metabolically essential large neutral amino acids (LNAAs), have been associated with autism and microcephaly. However, despite recent progress in the field, the extent of metabolic restructuring that occurs within the developing brain and the corresponding alterations in nutrient demands during various critical periods remain largely unknown. To investigate this, we performed metabolomic profiling of the murine cerebral cortex to characterize the metabolic state of the forebrain at different developmental stages. We found that the developing cortex undergoes substantial metabolic reprogramming, with specific sets of metabolites displaying stage-specific changes. According to our observations, we determined a distinct temporal period in postnatal development during which the cortex displays heightened reliance on LNAAs. Hence, using a conditional knock-out mouse model, we deleted Slc7a5 in neural cells, allowing us to monitor the impact of a perturbed neuronal metabolic state across multiple developmental stages of corticogenesis. We found that manipulating the levels of essential LNAAs in cortical neurons in vivo affects one particular perinatal developmental period critical for cortical network refinement. Abnormally low intracellular LNAA levels result in cell-autonomous alterations in neuronal lipid metabolism, excitability, and survival during this particular time window. Although most of the effects of Slc7a5 deletion on neuronal physiology are transient, derailment of these processes during this brief but crucial window leads to long-term circuit dysfunction in mice. In conclusion, out data indicate that the cerebral cortex undergoes significant metabolic reorganization during development. This process involves the intricate integration of multiple metabolic pathways to ensure optimal neuronal function throughout different developmental stages. Our findings offer a paradigm for understanding how neurons synchronize the expression of nutrient-related genes with their activity to allow proper brain maturation. Further, our results demonstrate that disruptions in these precisely calibrated metabolic processes during critical periods of brain development may result in neuropathological outcomes in mice and in humans." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Lisa full_name: Knaus, Lisa id: 3B2ABCF4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Knaus citation: ama: 'Knaus L.

The dynamics of these stripes is central to transition, and recent studies proposed an analogy to directed percolation where the stripes’ proliferation is ultimately responsible for the turbulence becoming sustained. In the present study we focus on the internal stripe dynamics as well as on the eventual stripe expansion, and we compare the underlying mechanisms in pressure- and shear-driven planar flows, respectively, plane-Poiseuille and plane-Couette flow. Despite the similarities of the overall laminar–turbulence patterns, the stripe proliferation processes in the two cases are fundamentally different. Starting from the growth and sustenance of individual stripes, we find that in plane-Couette flow new streaks are created stochastically throughout the stripe whereas in plane-Poiseuille flow streak creation is deterministic and occurs locally at the downstream tip. Because of the up/downstream symmetry, Couette stripes, in contrast to Poiseuille stripes, have two weak and two strong laminar turbulent interfaces. These differences in symmetry as well as in internal growth give rise to two fundamentally different stripe splitting mechanisms. In plane-Poiseuille flow splitting is connected to the elongational growth of the original stripe, and it results from a break-off/shedding of the stripe's tail. In plane-Couette flow splitting follows from a broadening of the original stripe and a division along the stripe into two slimmer stripes. acknowledgement: E.M. acknowledges funding from the ISTplus fellowship programme.

From the initial use of carbonate electrolytes, that were then found to be entirely unsuitable, to the belief that (su)peroxide was solely responsible for degradation, before the more reactive singlet oxygen was found to form, to the hypothesis that capacity depends on a competing surface/solution mechanism before a practically exclusive solution mechanism was identified. Herein, we argue for an ever-fresh look at the reported data without bias towards supposedly established explanations. We explain how the latest findings on rate and capacity limits, as well as the origin of side reactions, are connected via the disproportionation (DISP) step in the (dis)charge mechanism. Therefrom, directions emerge for the design of electrolytes and mediators on how to suppress side reactions and to enable high rate and high reversible capacity. article_number: e202316476 article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: review author: - first_name: Rajesh B full_name: Jethwa, Rajesh B id: 4cc538d5-803f-11ed-ab7e-8139573aad8f last_name: Jethwa orcid: 0000-0002-0404-4356 - first_name: Soumyadip full_name: Mondal, Soumyadip id: d25d21ef-dc8d-11ea-abe3-ec4576307f48 last_name: Mondal - first_name: Bhargavi full_name: Pant, Bhargavi id: 50c64d4d-eb97-11eb-a6c2-d33e5e14f112 last_name: Pant - first_name: Stefan Alexander full_name: Freunberger, Stefan Alexander id: A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425 last_name: Freunberger orcid: 0000-0003-2902-5319 citation: ama: Jethwa RB, Mondal S, Pant B, Freunberger SA.

By studying a pair of structurally homologous cross-β amyloid fibrils, HET-s and HELLF, with a specific isotope-labeling approach and magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR, we have characterized the dynamic behavior of Phe and Tyr aromatic rings to show that the hydrophobic amyloid core is rigid, without any sign of "breathing motions" over hundreds of milliseconds at least. Aromatic residues exposed at the fibril surface have a rigid ring axis but undergo ring flips, on a variety of time scales from ns to µs. Our approach provides direct insight into hydrophobic-core motions, enabling a better evaluation of the conformational heterogeneity generated from a NMR structural ensemble of such amyloid cross-β architecture. acknowledgement: We thank AlbertA.

We studied aromatic residues in the two structurally homologous cross-β amyloid fibrils HET-s, and HELLF by employing a specific isotope-labeling approach and magic-angle-spinning NMR. The dynamic behavior of the aromatic residues Phe and Tyr indicates that the hydrophobic amyloid core is rigid, without any sign of "breathing motions" over hundreds of milliseconds at least. Aromatic residues exposed at the fibril surface have a rigid ring axis but undergo ring flips on a variety of time scales from nanoseconds to microseconds. Our approach provides direct insight into hydrophobic-core motions, enabling a better evaluation of the conformational heterogeneity generated from an NMR structural ensemble of such amyloid cross-β architecture. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Lea Marie full_name: Becker, Lea Marie id: 36336939-eb97-11eb-a6c2-c83f1214ca79 last_name: Becker orcid: 0000-0002-6401-5151 - first_name: Paul full_name: Schanda, Paul id: 7B541462-FAF6-11E9-A490-E8DFE5697425 last_name: Schanda orcid: 0000-0002-9350-7606 citation: ama: 'Becker LM, Schanda P.

During bacterial cell division, FtsZ—a prokaryotic homologue of the eukaryotic protein tubulin—polymerizes into treadmilling filaments that further organize into a cytoskeletal ring. In vitro, FtsZ filaments can form dynamic chiral assemblies. However, how the active and passive properties of individual filaments relate to these large-scale self-organized structures remains poorly understood. Here we connect single-filament properties with the mesoscopic scale by combining minimal active matter simulations and biochemical reconstitution experiments. We show that the density and flexibility of active chiral filaments define their global order. At intermediate densities, curved, flexible filaments organize into chiral rings and polar bands. An effectively nematic organization dominates for high densities and for straight, mutant filaments with increased rigidity. Our predicted phase diagram quantitatively captures these features, demonstrating how the flexibility, density and chirality of the active filaments affect their collective behaviour. Our findings shed light on the fundamental properties of active chiral matter and explain how treadmilling FtsZ filaments organize during bacterial cell division. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: 'This work was supported by the European Research Council through grant ERC 2015-StG-679239 and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) StandAlone P34607 to M.L., B.

The divisome spans from the cytoplasm through the inner membrane to the cell wall and the outer membrane. Divisome assembly is initiated by a cytoskeletal structure, the so-called Z-ring, which localizes at the center of the E. coli cell and determines the position of the future cell septum. The Z-ring is composed of the highly conserved bacterial tubulin homologue FtsZ, which forms treadmilling filaments. These filaments are recruited to the inner membrane by FtsA, a highly conserved bacterial actin homologue. FtsA interacts with other proteins in the periplasm and thus connects the cytoplasmic and periplasmic components of the divisome. \r\nA previous model postulated that FtsA regulates maturation of the divisome by switching from an oligomeric, inactive state to a monomeric and active state. This model was based mostly on in vivo studies, as a biochemical characterization of FtsA has been hampered by difficulties in purifying the protein. Here, we studied FtsA using an in vitro reconstitution approach and aimed to answer two questions: (i) How are dynamics from cytoplasmic, treadmilling FtsZ filaments coupled to proteins acting in the periplasmic space and (ii) How does FtsA regulate the maturation of the divisome?\r\nWe found that the cytoplasmic peptides of the transmembrane proteins FtsN and FtsQ interact directly with FtsA and can follow the spatiotemporal signal of FtsA/Z filaments. When we investigated the underlying mechanism by imaging single molecules of FtsNcyto, we found the peptide to interact transiently with FtsA. An in depth analysis of the single molecule trajectories helped to postulate a model where PG synthases follow the dynamics of FtsZ by a diffusion and capture mechanism. \r\nFollowing up on these findings we were interested in how the self-interaction of FtsA changes when it encounters FtsNcyto and if we can confirm the proposed oligomer-monomer switch. For this, we compared the behavior of the previously identified, hyperactive mutant FtsA R286W with wildtype FtsA. The mutant outperforms WT in mirroring and transmitting the spatiotemporal signal of treadmilling FtsZ filaments. Surprisingly however, we found that this was not due to a difference in the self-interaction strength of the two variants, but a difference in their membrane residence time. Furthermore, in contrast to our expectations, upon binding of FtsNcyto the measured self-interaction of FtsA actually increased. \r\nWe propose that FtsNcyto induces a rearrangement of the oligomeric architecture of FtsA. In further consequence this change leads to more persistent FtsZ filaments which results in a defined signalling zone, allowing formation of the mature divisome. The observed difference between FtsA WT and R286W is due to the vastly different membrane turnover of the proteins. R286W cycles 5-10x faster compared to WT which allows to sample FtsZ filaments at faster frequencies. These findings can explain the observed differences in toxicity for overexpression of FtsA WT and R286W and help to understand how FtsA regulates divisome maturation." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Philipp full_name: Radler, Philipp id: 40136C2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radler orcid: '0000-0001-9198-2182 ' citation: ama: Radler P.

This material combination leads to spatial variations of the superconducting properties, which gives rise to Andreev bound states (ABSs). Some of these states might exhibit remarkable properties that render them highly desirable for topological quantum computing. The most prominent and hunted of such states are Majorana zero modes (MZMs), quasiparticles equals to their own quasiparticles that they follow non-abelian statistics. In this thesis, we first introduce the general framework of such hybrid systems and, then, we unveil a series of mesoscopic phenomena that we discovered. Firstly, we show tunneling spectroscopy experiments on full-shell nanowires (NWs) showing that unwanted quantum-dot states coupled to superconductors (Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states) can mimic MZMs signatures. Then, we introduce a novel protocol which allowed the integration of tunneling spectroscopy with Coulomb spectroscopy within the same device. Employing this approach on both full-shell NWs and partial-shell NWs, we demonstrated that longitudinally confined states reveal charge transport phenomenology similar to the one expected for MZMs. These findings shed light on the intricate interplay between superconductivity and quantum confinement, which brought us to explore another material platform, i.e. a two-dimensional Germanium hole gas. After developing a robust way to induce superconductivity in such system, we showed how to engineer the proximity effect and we revealed a superconducting hard gap. Finally, we created a superconducting radio frequency driven ideal diode and a generator of non-sinusoidal current-phase relations. Our results open the path for the exploration of protected superconducting qubits and more complex hybrid devices in planar Germanium, like Kitaev chains and hybrid qubit devices. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: NanoFab - _id: M-Shop alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Marco full_name: Valentini, Marco id: C0BB2FAC-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425 last_name: Valentini citation: ama: 'Valentini M.

Lincheck provides a simple and declarative way to write concurrent tests: instead of describing how to perform the test, users specify what to test by declaring all the operations to examine; the framework automatically handles the rest. As a result, tests written with Lincheck are concise and easy to understand. The framework automatically generates a set of concurrent scenarios, examines them using stress-testing or bounded model checking, and verifies that the results of each invocation are correct. Notably, if an error is detected via model checking, Lincheck provides an easy-to-follow trace to reproduce it, significantly simplifying the bug investigation.\r\n\r\nTo the best of our knowledge, Lincheck is the first production-ready tool on the JVM that offers such a simple way of writing concurrent tests, without requiring special skills or expertise. We successfully integrated Lincheck in the development process of several large projects, such as Kotlin Coroutines, and identified new bugs in popular concurrency libraries, such as a race in Java’s standard ConcurrentLinkedDeque and a liveliness bug in Java’s AbstractQueuedSynchronizer framework, which is used in most of the synchronization primitives. We believe that Lincheck can significantly improve the quality and productivity of concurrent algorithms research and development and become the state-of-the-art tool for checking their correctness." alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: Yes (in subscription journal) author: - first_name: Nikita full_name: Koval, Nikita id: 2F4DB10C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Koval - first_name: Alexander full_name: Fedorov, Alexander id: 2e711909-896a-11ed-bdf8-eb0f5a2984c6 last_name: Fedorov - first_name: Maria full_name: Sokolova, Maria last_name: Sokolova - first_name: Dmitry full_name: Tsitelov, Dmitry last_name: Tsitelov - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X citation: ama: 'Koval N, Fedorov A, Sokolova M, Tsitelov D, Alistarh D-A.

These social defenses are well explored against\r\nexternally-infecting pathogens, but little is known about defense strategies against\r\ninternally-infecting pathogens, such as viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous and in the last decades\r\nit has become evident that also many ant species harbor viruses. We present one of the first\r\nstudies addressing transmission dynamics and collective disease defenses against viruses in\r\nants on a mechanistic level. I successfully established an experimental ant host – viral\r\npathogen system as a model for the defense strategies used by social insects against internal\r\npathogen infections, as outlined in the third chapter. In particular, we studied how garden ants\r\n(Lasius neglectus) defend themselves and their colonies against the generalist insect virus\r\nCrPV (cricket paralysis virus). We chose microinjections of virus directly into the ants’\r\nhemolymph because it allowed us to use a defined exposure dose. Here we show that this is a\r\ngood model system, as the virus is replicating and thus infecting the host. The ants mount a\r\nclear individual immune response against the viral infection, which is characterized by a\r\nspecific siRNA pattern, namely siRNAs mapping against the viral genome with a peak of 21\r\nand 22 bp long fragments. The onset of this immune response is consistent with the timeline\r\nof viral replication that starts already within two days post injection. The disease manifests in\r\ndecreased survival over a course of two to three weeks.\r\nRegarding group living, we find that infected ants show a strong individual immune response,\r\nbut that their course of disease is little affected by nestmate presence, as described in chapter\r\nfour. Hence, we do not find social immunity in the context of viral infections in ants.\r\nNestmates, however, can contract the virus. Using Drosophila S2R+ cells in culture, we\r\nshowed that 94 % of the nestmates contract active virus within four days of social contact to\r\nan infected individual. Virus is transmitted in low doses, thus not causing disease\r\ntransmission within the colony. While virus can be transmitted during short direct contacts,\r\nwe also assume transmission from deceased ants and show that the nestmates’ immune\r\nsystem gets activated after contracting a low viral dose. We find considerable potential for\r\nindirect transmission via the nest space. Virus is shed to the nest, where it stays viable for one\r\nweek and is also picked up by other ants. Apart from that, we want to underline the potential\r\nof ant poison as antiviral agent. We determined that ant poison successfully inactivates CrPV\r\nin vitro. However, we found no evidence for effective poison use to sanitize the nest space.\r\nOn the other hand, local application of ant poison by oral poison uptake, which is part of the\r\nants prophylactic behavioral repertoire, probably contributes to keeping the gut of each\r\nindividual sanitized. We hypothesize that oral poison uptake might be the reason why we did\r\nnot find viable virus in the trophallactic fluid.\r\nThe fifth chapter encompasses preliminary data on potential social immunization. However,\r\nour experiments do not confirm an actual survival benefit for the nestmates upon pathogen\r\nchallenge under the given experimental settings. Nevertheless, we do not want to rule out the\r\npossibility for nestmate immunization, but rather emphasize that considering different\r\nexperimental timelines and viral doses would provide a multitude of options for follow-up\r\nexperiments.\r\nIn conclusion, we find that prophylactic individual behaviors, such as oral poison uptake,\r\nmight play a role in preventing viral disease transmission. Compared to colony defense\r\nagainst external pathogens, internal pathogen infections require a stronger component of\r\nindividual physiological immunity than behavioral social immunity, yet could still lead to\r\ncollective protection." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Anna full_name: Franschitz, Anna id: 480826C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Franschitz citation: ama: Franschitz A.

Several recent works have focused on how to construct such Lipschitz networks, typically by imposing constraints on the weight matrices. In this work, we study an orthogonal aspect, namely the role of the activation function. We show that commonly used activation functions, such as MaxMin, as well as all piece-wise linear ones with two segments unnecessarily restrict the class of representable functions, even in the simplest one-dimensional setting. We furthermore introduce the new N-activation function that is provably more expressive than currently popular activation functions.

In addition to patterning, morphogens also control tissue growth. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the role of morphogens in regulating tissue growth in the developing vertebrate neural tube. In this system, opposing morphogen gradients of Shh and BMP establish the dorsoventral pattern of neural progenitor domains. Perturbations in these morphogen pathways result in alterations in tissue growth and cell cycle progression, however, it has been unclear what cellular process is affected. To address this, we analysed the rates of cell proliferation and cell death in mouse mutants in which signaling is perturbed, as well as in chick neural plate explants exposed to defined concentrations of signaling activators or inhibitors. Our results indicated that the rate of cell proliferation was not altered in these assays. By contrast, both the Shh and BMP signaling pathways had profound effects on neural progenitor survival. Our results indicate that these pathways synergise to promote cell survival within neural progenitors. Consistent with this, we found that progenitors within the intermediate region of the neural tube, where the combined levels of Shh and BMP are the lowest, are most prone to cell death when signaling activity is inhibited. In addition, we found that downregulation of Shh results in increased apoptosis within the roof plate, which is the dorsal source of BMP ligand production. This revealed a cross-interaction between the Shh and BMP morphogen signaling pathways that may be relevant for understanding how gradients scale in neural tubes with different overall sizes. We further studied the mechanism acting downstream of Shh in cell survival regulation using genetic and genomic approaches. We propose that Shh transcriptionally regulates a non-canonical apoptotic pathway. Altogether, our study points to a novel role of opposing morphogen gradients in tissue size regulation and provides new insights into complex interactions between Shh and BMP signaling gradients in the neural tube. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Katarzyna full_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska, Katarzyna id: 4CED352A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska citation: ama: Kuzmicz-Kowalska K.

The main focus is on weak-strong stability properties of some curvature driven interface evolution problems, such as the two-phase Navier–Stokes flow with surface tension and multiphase mean curvature flow, and on the phase-field approximation of the latter. Furthermore, we discuss a variational approach to the study of a class of doubly nonlinear wave equations.\r\nFirst, we consider the two-phase Navier–Stokes flow with surface tension within a bounded domain. The two fluids are immiscible and separated by a sharp interface, which intersects the boundary of the domain at a constant contact angle of ninety degree. We devise a suitable concept of varifolds solutions for the associated interface evolution problem and we establish a weak-strong uniqueness principle in case of a two dimensional ambient space. In order to focus on the boundary effects and on the singular geometry of the evolving domains, we work for simplicity in the regime of same viscosities for the two fluids.\r\nThe core of the thesis consists in the rigorous proof of the convergence of the vectorial Allen-Cahn equation towards multiphase mean curvature flow for a suitable class of multi- well potentials and for well-prepared initial data. We even establish a rate of convergence. Our relative energy approach relies on the concept of gradient-flow calibration for branching singularities in multiphase mean curvature flow and thus enables us to overcome the limitations of other approaches. To the best of the author’s knowledge, our result is the first quantitative and unconditional one available in the literature for the vectorial/multiphase setting.\r\nThis thesis also contains a first study of weak-strong stability for planar multiphase mean curvature flow beyond the singularity resulting from a topology change. Previous weak-strong results are indeed limited to time horizons before the first topology change of the strong solution. We consider circular topology changes and we prove weak-strong stability for BV solutions to planar multiphase mean curvature flow beyond the associated singular times by dynamically adapting the strong solutions to the weak one by means of a space-time shift.\r\nIn the context of interface evolution problems, our proofs for the main results of this thesis are based on the relative energy technique, relying on novel suitable notions of relative energy functionals, which in particular measure the interface error. Our statements follow from the resulting stability estimates for the relative energy associated to the problem.\r\nAt last, we introduce a variational approach to the study of nonlinear evolution problems. This approach hinges on the minimization of a parameter dependent family of convex functionals over entire trajectories, known as Weighted Inertia-Dissipation-Energy (WIDE) functionals. We consider a class of doubly nonlinear wave equations and establish the convergence, up to subsequences, of the associated WIDE minimizers to a solution of the target problem as the parameter goes to zero." acknowledgement: The research projects contained in this thesis have received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 948819). alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alice full_name: Marveggio, Alice id: 25647992-AA84-11E9-9D75-8427E6697425 last_name: Marveggio citation: ama: Marveggio A.

It provides structural scaffolding for the cells embedded within it and is essential in regulating numerous physiological processes, including cell migration and proliferation, wound healing, and stem cell fate. \r\nDespite extensive study, detailed structural knowledge of ECM components in physiologically relevant conditions is still rudimentary. This is due to methodological limitations in specimen preparation protocols which are incompatible with keeping large samples, such as the ECM, in their native state for subsequent imaging. Conventional electron microscopy (EM) techniques rely on fixation, dehydration, contrasting, and sectioning. This results in the alteration of a highly hydrated environment and the potential introduction of artifacts. Other structural biology techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, allow high-resolution analysis of protein structures but only work on homogenous and purified samples, hence lacking contextual information. Currently, no approach exists for the ultrastructural and structural study of extracellular components under native conditions in a physiological, 3D environment. \r\nIn this thesis, I have developed a workflow that allows for the ultrastructural analysis of the ECM in near-native conditions at molecular resolution. The developments I introduced include implementing a novel specimen preparation workflow for cell-derived matrices (CDMs) to render them compatible with ion-beam milling and subsequent high-resolution cryo-electron tomography (ET). \r\nTo this end, I have established protocols to generate CDMs grown over several weeks on EM grids that are compatible with downstream cryo-EM sample preparation and imaging techniques. Characterization of these ECMs confirmed that they contain essential ECM components such as collagen I, collagen VI, and fibronectin I in high abundance and hence represent a bona fide biologically-relevant sample. I successfully optimized vitrification of these specimens by testing various vitrification techniques and cryoprotectants. \r\nIn order to obtain high-resolution molecular insights into the ultrastructure and organization of CDMs, I established cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIBSEM) on these challenging and complex specimens. I explored different approaches for the creation of thin cryo-lamellae by FIB milling and succeeded in optimizing the cryo-lift-out technique, resulting in high-quality lamellae of approximately 200 nm thickness. \r\nHigh-resolution Cryo-ET of these lamellae revealed for the first time the architecture of native CDM in the context of matrix-secreting cells. This allowed for the in situ visualization of fibrillar matrix proteins such as collagen, laying the foundation for future structural and ultrastructural characterization of these proteins in their near-native environment. \r\nIn summary, in this thesis, I present a novel workflow that combines state-of-the-art cryo-EM specimen preparation and imaging technologies to permit characterization of the ECM, an important tissue component in higher organisms. This innovative and highly versatile workflow will enable addressing far-reaching questions on ECM architecture, composition, and reciprocal ECM-cell interactions." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Bettina full_name: Zens, Bettina id: 45FD126C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zens orcid: 0000-0002-9561-1239 citation: ama: Zens B.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the neurons of the innermost layer of the\r\nmammal retina, and they transmit visual information to the rest of the brain.\r\nIt has been shown that RGCs vary in their morphology and genetic profiles, moreover they can\r\nbe unambiguously grouped into subtypes that share the same morphological and/or molecular\r\nproperties. However, in terms of RGCs function, it remains unclear how many distinct types\r\nthere are and what response properties their typology relies on. Even given the recent studies\r\nthat successfully classified RGCs in a patch of the retina [1] and in scotopic conditions [2], the\r\nquestion remains whether the found subtypes persist across the entire retina.\r\nIn this work, using a novel imaging method, we show that, when sampled from a large portion\r\nof the retina, RGCs can not be clearly divided into functional subtypes. We found that in\r\nphotopic conditions, which implies more prominent natural scene statistic differences across\r\nthe visual field, response properties can be exhibited by cells differently depending on their\r\nlocation in the retina, which leads to formation of a gradient of features rather than distinct\r\nclasses.\r\nThis finding suggests that RGCs follow a global organization across the visual field of the\r\nanimal, adapting each RGC subtype to the requirements imposed by the natural scene statistics." alternative_title: - ISTA Master's Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Kseniia full_name: Kirillova, Kseniia id: 8e3f931e-dc85-11ea-9058-e7b957bf23f0 last_name: Kirillova citation: ama: Kirillova K.

Evolutionary pathways are neither directed nor deterministic, but rather an interplay between selection, migration, mutation, genetic drift and other environmental factors. Hybrid zones, as natural crossing experiments, offer a great opportunity to use cline analysis to deduce different evolutionary processes - for example, selection strength. Theoretical cline models, largely assuming uniform distribution of individuals, often lack the capability of incorporating population structure. Since in reality organisms mostly live in patchy distributions and their dispersal is hardly ever Gaussian, it is necessary to unravel the effect of these different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape. In this thesis, I develop a simulation inspired by the A. majus hybrid zone of a single selected locus under frequency dependent selection. This simulation enables us to untangle the effects of different elements of population structure as for example a low-density center and long-range dispersal. This thesis is therefore a first step towards theoretically untangling the effects of different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape.

This thesis argues that there are benefits to treating these problems in the same domain as human designers, namely, the parametric one. One reason is that discretizing a parametric model usually removes the capability of making further manual changes to the design, because the human intent is captured by the shape parameters. Beyond this, knowledge about a design problem can sometimes reveal a structure that is present in a smooth representation, but is fundamentally altered by discretizing. In this case, working in the parametric domain may even simplify the optimization task. We present two lines of research that explore both of these aspects of fabrication-aware shape optimization on parametric representations.\r\n\r\nThe first project studies the design of plane elastic curves and Kirchhoff rods, which are common mathematical models for describing the deformation of thin elastic rods such as beams, ribbons, cables, and hair. Our main contribution is a characterization of all curved shapes that can be attained by bending and twisting elastic rods having a stiffness that is allowed to vary across the length. Elements like these can be manufactured using digital fabrication devices such as 3d printers and digital cutters, and have applications in free-form architecture and soft robotics.\r\n\r\nWe show that the family of curved shapes that can be produced this way admits geometric description that is concise and computationally convenient. In the case of plane curves, the geometric description is intuitive enough to allow a designer to determine whether a curved shape is physically achievable by visual inspection alone. We also present shape optimization algorithms that convert a user-defined curve in the plane or in three dimensions into the geometry of an elastic rod that will naturally deform to follow this curve when its endpoints are attached to a support structure. Implemented in an interactive software design tool, the rod geometry is generated in real time as the user edits a curve and enables fast prototyping. \r\n\r\nThe second project tackles the problem of general-purpose shape optimization on CAD models using a novel variant of the extended finite element method (XFEM). Our goal is the decoupling between the simulation mesh and the CAD model, so no geometry-dependent meshing or remeshing needs to be performed when the CAD parameters change during optimization. This is achieved by discretizing the embedding space of the CAD model, and using a new high-accuracy numerical integration method to enable XFEM on free-form elements bounded by the parametric surface patches of the model. Our simulation is differentiable from the CAD parameters to the simulation output, which enables us to use off-the-shelf gradient-based optimization procedures. The result is a method that fits seamlessly into the CAD workflow because it works on the same representation as the designer, enabling the alternation of manual editing and fabrication-aware optimization at will." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Christian full_name: Hafner, Christian id: 400429CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hafner citation: ama: 'Hafner C.
