Unlike traditional settings, we study distributed randomisation: team players do not share a source of randomness, and their private random sources are hidden from the opponent and from each other.\r\n\r\nWe show that memoryless strategies are sufficient for the threshold problem (deciding whether there is a strategy for the team that ensures winning with probability that exceeds a threshold), a result that not only places the problem in the Existential Theory of the Reals (ER) but also enables the construction of value iteration algorithms. We additionally show that the threshold problem is NP-hard. For the almost-sure reachability problem, we prove NP-completeness.\r\n\r\nWe introduce Individually Randomised Alternating-time Temporal Logic (IRATL). This logic extends the standard ATL framework to reason about probability thresholds, with semantics explicitly designed for coalitions that lack a shared source of randomness. On the practical side, we implement and evaluate a solver for the threshold and almost-sure problem based on the algorithms that we develop." acknowledgement: This work is a part of project VAMOS that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC), grant agreement No 101020093.

Representing local biomolecular environments remains a\r\nkey challenge while applying machine learning approaches over protein structures. The structural and chemical variability of these environments makes them\r\nchallenging to model, and performing representation learning on these objects\r\nremains largely under-explored. In this work, we propose representations for\r\nlocal protein environments that leverage intermediate features from machine learning force fields (MLFFs). We extensively benchmark state-of-the-art MLFFs,\r\ncomparing their performance across latent spaces and downstream tasks, and\r\nshow that their embeddings capture local structural (e.g., secondary motifs) and\r\nchemical features (e.g., amino acid identity and protonation state), organizing\r\nprotein environments into a structured manifold. We show that these representations enable zero-shot generalization and transfer across diverse downstream\r\ntasks. As a case study, we build a physics-informed, uncertainty-aware chemical shift predictor that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in biomolecular NMR\r\nspectroscopy. Our results establish MLFFs as general-purpose, reusable representation learners for protein modeling, opening new directions in representation learning for structured physical systems.

We propose a decoupled framework in which each objective is assigned to an independent agent that selects a local policy, while a scheduler—oblivious to the graph and objective—dynamically composes these policies into a single path. We ask when such a composition satisfies all objectives, assuming their conjunction is realizable. The framework enables modular policy design but raises fundamental compositional challenges. We show that even extremely fair deterministic schedulers do not ensure correctness, and that stochastic schedulers, while necessary, are insufficient without coordination. For safety objectives, we demonstrate that fully decentralized implementations are impossible, and we introduce a protocol for synchronizing on maximal safe actions. For non-safety objectives, we introduce conventions—simple, a priori restrictions agreed upon before the graph or objectives are revealed—that guarantee satisfaction of all objectives when followed by all agents. We characterize minimally restrictive conventions for major subclasses of w-regular objectives. In particular, Büchi objectives admit universal composition of finite-memory policies without scheduler communication; co-Büchi objectives require only knowledge of whether the agent was scheduled; and parity objectives additionally require knowledge of which agent was scheduled. acknowledgement: 'This work is funded by the following grants: European Research Council under Grant No.: ERC-2020-AdG 101020093, ISF grant no. 1679/21, grant RYC2024-049116, MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, the ESF+, and Volkswagen Foundation within its Momentum framework under project no. 9C283.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: Yes (in subscription journal) arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - 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: Kaushik full_name: Mallik, Kaushik id: 0834ff3c-6d72-11ec-94e0-b5b0a4fb8598 last_name: Mallik orcid: 0000-0001-9864-7475 - first_name: Suman full_name: Sadhukhan, Suman last_name: Sadhukhan - first_name: K.

The astrophysical origin of these events is debated, with evidence suggesting that at least a subset originated from dynamic environments characterized by frequent close encounters. Accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are of particular interest, as certain observed features could be more readily produced within such environments. In this paper, we investigate the expected properties of mergers in these environments, and their dependence on various parameters, using 1D N-body simulations combined with a comprehensive semianalytical model. In our fiducial model, the distributions of masses (m1 and m2) and mass ratios (q ≡ m2/m1 ≤ 1) are similar to those observed. However, they depend strongly on the lifetime and density of the AGN disk and on the number and accretion efficiency of BHs, with higher masses predicted as these quantities increase. The most massive mergers, such as GW231123, can be produced either by efficient gas accretion or by hierarchical mergers among ≥3 generations of BHs. The observed negative correlation between q and the average effective spin (χeff), along with the positive correlation between χeff and the chirp mass (Mchirp), can be explained by a combination of efficient gas accretion, which promotes spin alignment, and hierarchical mergers, which produce high-∣χeff∣ and low-q binaries. Hierarchical mergers can also explain the negative correlation between q and the dispersion of χeff, as well as the positive correlation between ∣χeff∣and Mchirp. We present a comprehensive study on how the expected distribution of each of these quantities depends on model parameters and assumptions, which will aid the interpretation of observed GW population properties. acknowledgement: H.T. is supported by the National Science and Technology Major Project of China (No. 2024ZD1100601) and the National Key R&D Program of China (grant No.2024YFC2207700).

We examine a broad class of slip boundary conditions that generalises the commonly used Navier slip, perfect slip, stick-slip and Tresca friction boundary conditions. In particular, set-valued, nonmonotone, noncoercive and dynamic relations may occur. For a unifying framework of such relations, we present a fully discrete numerical scheme for the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations subject to impermeability and general slip-type boundary conditions on polyhedral domains. Based on compactness arguments, we prove convergence of subsequences, finally ensuring the existence of a weak solution. The numerical scheme uses a general inf-sup stable pair of finite element spaces for the velocity and pressure, a regularisation approach for the implicit slip boundary condition and, most importantly, a general Nitsche method to impose the impermeability and a backward Euler time stepping. One of the key tools in the convergence proof is an inhomogeneous Korn inequality that includes a normal trace term. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Pablo Alexei full_name: Gazca-Orozco, Pablo Alexei last_name: Gazca-Orozco - first_name: Franz full_name: Gmeineder, Franz last_name: Gmeineder - first_name: Erika full_name: Maringová, Erika id: dbabca31-66eb-11eb-963a-fb9c22c880b4 last_name: Maringová - first_name: Tabea full_name: Tscherpel, Tabea last_name: Tscherpel citation: ama: Gazca-Orozco PA, Gmeineder F, Maringová E, Tscherpel T.

Here, we present a mismatch-assisted microstructure engineering strategy in which Ag2Se particles are treated with polyanionic ZnSe complexes and consolidated through the β–α transition to introduce ZnSe nanoprecipitates, Ag2Se/ZnSe interfaces, and local strain fields. The crystallographic mismatch between ZnSe and Ag2Se, together with the Zn2+/Ag+ size difference, amplifies phase-transition-induced deformation and promotes high-density dislocations with periodic strain modulations. This defect architecture suppresses grain coarsening, removes excess Ag, limits Ag-interstitial formation, and reduces lattice thermal conductivity through lattice softening and multiscale phonon scattering. Ag2Se–4%ZnSe nanocomposites achieve a peak zTmax of 1.13 at 369 K and a zTavg of 1.08 from 300 to 380 K, demonstrating mismatch-driven defect engineering through the β–α phase transition as a route for optimizing Ag2Se-based thermoelectrics. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: LifeSc - _id: NanoFab - _id: MassSpec acknowledgement: 'Open access funding provided by Institute of Science and Technology Austria.

Approaching standardization and reference methods early is foundational for reproducibility and comparability across laboratories and reduction of systematic error sources. It underpins trust in data obtained and accelerates innovation by ensuring that scientists work from a common methodological baseline. Accordingly, obtaining reproducible results from different GISAS instruments requires an agreement on how measurements are performed, instruments calibrated and terms defined. To pave the way for standardization and reference methods, we surveyed GISAS practitioners on what comes before an experiment: hardware, software, sample alignment and instrument calibration. Twenty-two questions were designed to elucidate the state of the art, which can be used for the development of reference methods. Our data on 27 instruments provide the basis for standardization. With very few exceptions, we found laboratories prepared to implement future reference methods, but no consensus emerges naturally for sample alignment and instrument calibration. We, that is the GISAS community, are thus in a position to embark on the journey of standardization.' acknowledgement: "The authors thank all respondents for their participation in the\r\nquestionnaire.

We combined Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers at embryonic stages (E)12.5 and E13.5 with early postnatal callosal tracing to dissect RGP lineage progression. We find that multipotent RGPs generate all extra-telencephalic (ET) and intra-telencephalic (IT) PNs via parallel sublineages that emerge simultaneously at neurogenesis onset. ET-PN production progresses exclusively via small, self-consuming lineages; IT-PN lineages feature RGPs generating large translaminar outputs. The early emergence of IT-PN–fated RGPs, coinciding with a switch to direct neurogenesis, contributes to the stereotyped population-level progression of the multipotent lineage. We also identify POU3F transcription factors as candidate regulators of IT-PN fate via noncanonical mitotic chromatin binding. The results support a model whereby IT- and ET-PNs arise from an early bifurcation and parallel specification within the multipotent RGP lineage. acknowledgement: 'We thank M. caouyette for the plasmid construction for Pou3f1overexpression; d.

However, the long cultivation cycle and susceptibility to diseases hinder the advancement of the ginseng industry. Here, we demonstrate that the embryonic protoderm of ginseng can efficiently produce ginsenosides. Single-cell transcriptome and mass spectrometry imaging analyses reveal that ginsenosides accumulate in the protoderm of ginseng embryonic callus (EC) at levels comparable to those in forest ginseng. Epigenetic analyses indicate that elevated histone acetylation and enhanced chromatin accessibility at regeneration- and ginsenoside metabolism-related gene loci are associated with the ginsenoside-producing capacity of EC. Increasing histone acetylation levels or overexpressing the regeneration-related WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX11 (WOX11) gene further enhances ginsenoside production in EC. Our findings suggest that the protoderm of EC could serve as an in situ biological compartment for high-efficiency ginsenoside producion, offering a complementary approach to traditional ginseng cultivation. acknowledgement: 'The authors are grateful to Professor Linfeng Li from the School of Life Science, Fudan University, for his assistance during the ginseng genome annotation.

NMR spectroscopy provides this insight at atomic resolution, yet for large proteins the difficulty of resonance assignment has largely confined such studies to systems below ∼50 kDa, or to observing only methyl groups. Here we present an integrated magic-angle spinning (MAS) and solution NMR study of the 134 kDa tetrameric malate dehydrogenase from Ignicoccus islandicus (IiMDH), an enzyme of particular interest as an evolutionary intermediate between allosteric lactate\r\ndehydrogenases and non-allosteric malate dehydrogenases. By combining high-dimensional (up to 4D) MAS NMR experiments on sedimented protein with solution NMR, we achieved 92% backbone heavy- atom assignment and 91% assignment of all Ile-δ1, Leu-δ1/-δ2, Val-γ1/-γ2, Met-ε and Thr-γ methyl groups. Building on these assignments, we use various probes of backbone and sidechain dynamics: elevated MAS NMR 15N rotating-frame relaxation (R1ρ) points to microsecond motions in functionally critical regions, including the catalytic loop and the mobile surface loop. Complementary methyl-axis order parameters from solution NMR identified additional flexible sites in the hydrophobic core. Chemical shift perturbation experiments upon addition of the substrate analogue oxamate, monitored via backbone 1H-15N TROSY, revealed both active-site contacts and responses in helices α2F and α3G, regions implicated in allosteric signal transmission. The integrated approach demonstrated here exploits the distinct strengths of MAS and solution NMR, and provides a comprehensive view of structure, dynamics, and substrate interactions in a large oligomeric enzyme that would not be accessible by either technique alone." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: NMR - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: This research was supported by the Scientific Service Units (SSU) of Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) through resources provided by the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and the Lab Support Facilities.

The objects of interest can be often realized as cohomological invariants of algebraic\r\nvarieties, and good understanding of their geometry sheds light into the original questions.\r\nSuch techniques have seen immense applications in the Langlands program, where they go\r\nunder the label of geometric representation theory.\r\n\r\nOne source of powerful invariants in algebraic geometry comes from algebraic K-theory,\r\nHochschild homology, and their relatives. These localizing invariants contain large amount\r\nof information, but are quite hard to compute. For this reason, their usage in geometric\r\nrepresentation theory has been limited.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this thesis is to showcase how to control such invariants in the situations of\r\ninterest and use them to obtain new insights. We start by reinterpreting equivariant Hochschild\r\nhomology in terms of functions on certain fixed-point schemes, which are of independent\r\ninterest. We compare it to equivariant K-theory via the trace map. We give new computations\r\nand comparisons of such invariants of affine Schubert varieties in Gr, including arithmetic\r\nsituations. We show that they behave much better than expected.\r\n\r\nWe finally utilize this circle of ideas in a purely topological setting. We describe the varying\r\nfixed points of the extended torus action on the affine Grassmannian, and use it to compute\r\nits equivariant topological K-theory ring. The answer is nontrivial and verifies an outstanding\r\nconjecture in the subject.\r\n\r\nWe compare, partly conjecturally, the resulting K-theory ring to the completed center of an\r\nintegral even hybrid quantum group and its deformed quantum category O. This gives a\r\ngenuine application of our computations in pure representation theory." acknowledgement: "It was funded by a DOC Fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences entitled Arithmetic,\r\ngeometry, topology and representation theory arising from the affine Grassmannian.

The plasmid-encoded ParMRC system forms actin-like filaments that segregate low–copy number plasmids. In multicellular cyanobacteria such as Anabaena sp., we found that a chromosomally encoded ParMR system has evolved into a cytoskeletal system named CorMR with a function in cell shape control rather than DNA segregation. Live-cell imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and cryo–electron microscopy revealed that CorM formed dynamically unstable, antiparallel double-stranded filaments that were recruited to the membrane by CorR through an amphipathic helix conserved in multicellular cyanobacteria. CorMR filaments were regulated by MinC, which excluded them from the poles and division plane. Comparative genomics indicated that the repurposing of ParMR and Min systems coevolved with cyanobacterial multicellularity, highlighting the evolutionary plasticity of cytoskeletal systems in bacteria. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: ScienComp - _id: EM-Fac - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "We thank all members of the Loose lab at ISTA for helpful discussions; M.

Several theoretical scenarios have been proposed to seed and rapidly grow black holes2,3,4, but direct observations of these mechanisms remain elusive. Here we present a source 660 million years after the Big Bang that exhibits singular properties: among the largest hydrogen Balmer breaks reported at any redshift, broad multi-peaked Hβ emission, and Balmer line absorption in several transitions. We model this source as an enshrouded black hole in which the Balmer break and absorption features are a result of extremely dense, turbulent gas forming a dust-free envelope around a supermassive black hole5,6. This source may provide evidence of an early black hole embedded in dense gas—a theoretical configuration proposed to rapidly grow black holes by super-Eddington accretion7,8. Radiation from the black hole seems to dominate almost all observed light, leaving limited room for contribution from its host galaxy. If the source merged with its brighter neighbour, it would resemble the recently discovered ‘little red dots’ with perplexing spectral energy distributions9,10,11. The redness of the black hole is due to gas, not dust12,13, and scattering, not kinematics, gives rise to the complex line shapes and luminosities—black hole masses of these sources may therefore be overestimated by orders of magnitude.' acknowledgement: This work is based on observations made with the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.

Previous cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of PSII assembly/disassembly intermediates have relied on the analysis of deletion mutants or removal of PSII subunits in vitro. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of naturally occurring dimeric PSII intermediates from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus vestitus at a resolution of about 2.2 Å. These intermediates contain inactive dimers lacking the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) and semi-active dimers with the OEC present in one of the two monomers. Our structural data provide a mechanism for how assembly and disassembly of the Mn4CaO5 cluster is coordinated with the binding and release of the extrinsic proteins: restructuring of the C-terminal tail of D1 subunit during assembly or disassembly of the Mn cluster triggers conformational changes in D2, CP47 and CP43 to drive the binding/release of the extrinsic proteins. A combination of structural and mass spectrometry data also suggests that the inactive PSII complexes may include damaged complexes containing oxidized D1-His332, a monodentate ligand to one of the Mn ions of the OEC.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: LifeSc - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: 'P.J.N. is grateful for the support from the Imperial College Electron Microscopy Center.

However, their finite weight sets rule out properties like average response time, where response times can be arbitrarily large. Nested quantitative automata (NQAs) overcome this limitation: a parent automaton spawns child automata to compute unbounded values over finite infixes and aggregates them into a final result. Despite this expressiveness, NQAs have lacked practical tool support to date.\r\n\r\nWe close this gap by extending the Quantitative Automata Kit (QuAK), a software tool for QA analysis, to support NQAs. Our core contribution is implementing a suite of flattening procedures that reduce NQAs to QAs, leveraging QuAK’s existing decision procedures. These reductions preserve the answers to threshold decision problems, while allowing users to specify properties in the more expressive NQA formalism. The tool handles all combinations of parent aggregators (including limits and averages) and child functions (extrema and monotonic or bounded summations) for which emptiness and universality are known to be decidable. Experiments on response-time and resource-consumption benchmarks demonstrate QuAK’s effectiveness." acknowledgement: This work was supported by the European Research Council (ERC) Grants VAMOS (No. 101020093) and HYPER (No. 101055412). alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 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: 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 - first_name: Harun full_name: Yılmaz, Harun last_name: Yılmaz citation: ama: 'Henzinger TA, Mazzocchi NA, Sarac NE, Yılmaz H.

While the ETH apparently holds across a wide range of interacting quantum systems, in this work, we show that it may require generalization in the presence of thermal first-order phase transitions. We introduce a class of all-to-all spin models, featuring first-order thermal phase transitions that stem from two distinct local maxima of entropy (two mean-field solutions that we dub “branches”) that exchange dominance in the many-body density of states as the energy is varied. We argue that, for energies in the vicinity of the thermal phase transition, eigenstate expectation values do not need to converge to the same thermal value. The system has a regime with coexistence of two classes of eigenstates corresponding to the two branches with distinct expectation values at the same energy density and another regime with Schrödinger-cat-like eigenstates that are interbranch superpositions; these two regimes are separated by an eigenstate phase transition. We propose a more general form of the ETH , support our results by semiclassical calculations and an exact diagonalization study of a microscopic spin model, and argue that the structure of eigenstates in the vicinity of thermal first-order phase transitions can be experimentally probed via nonequilibrium dynamics. acknowledgement: A. A. acknowledges discussions and prior collaboration on related topics with Anatoly Dymarsky.
