How spreading tissues balance flexibility with integrity is not yet well understood. Here, we show that keratin intermediate filaments adapt tissue mechanical resilience to the stresses arising in epithelial tissues during spreading. By analyzing the expansion of the enveloping cell layer (EVL) over the yolk cell in zebrafish embryos in vivo, we find that keratin network maturation in EVL cells is promoted by stresses building up within the spreading tissue. Through genetic interference and tissue rheology experiments, complemented by a vertex model with mechanochemical feedback, we demonstrate that stress-induced keratin network maturation in the EVL increases tissue viscosity, to prevent tissue rupture. Further, keratins are required in the yolk cell for mechanosensitive actomyosin network contraction and flow, the forces pulling the EVL. These dual mechanosensitive functions of keratins enable a balance between pulling force production and EVL mechanical resilience, ensuring uniform and robust tissue spreading. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: ScienComp - _id: LifeSc - _id: EM-Fac acknowledgement: We thank all members of the Heisenberg, Henkes, and Hannezo groups for their support.

Ein Material, bei dem die übertragene Spezies mehr gewiss erscheint, sind Ionomere, d. h. Polymere mit mobilen Ionen, deren Ladung durch fest gebundene Gegenladungen ausgeglichen wird. Wenn Ionomere mit einer neutralen Oberfläche in Kontakt kommen, lädt sich diese mit dem Vorzeichen der mobilen Ionen auf, was stark auf Ionentransfer hindeutet. Der zugrundeliegende Mechanismus sowie die bestimmenden Einflussfaktoren dieses Transfers sind jedoch bislang nur unzureichend verstanden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen wir, dass die Bindungsaffinität zwischen den mobilen Ionen und dem Ionomer den Ladungstransfer maßgeblich bestimmt. Wir untersuchen Ionomere mit gebundenen Anionen und Kationen und erzeugen mittels Ionenaustausch Proben mit einer Reihe unterschiedlicher übertragbarer Ionen. Für das anionische Ionomer beobachten wir eine starke Abhängigkeit von der Bindungsaffinität, wobei mobile Kationen mit der höchsten Affinität am wenigsten Ladung übertragen. Eine schwächere, aber trotzdem klare Abhängigkeit wurde für das kationische Ionomer gemessen, welches der freien Hydratationsenergie der mobilen Anionen folgt. Mithilfe von optischer Emissionsspektroskopie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP‐OES) bestätigen wir den Transfer von mobilen Ionen auf die Oberfläche der Gegenprobe. Unsere Ergebnisse bestätigen die Ladungsträgeridentität und den Mechanismus des Ladungstransfers bei ionomerischen Materialien, was auch für das allgemeine Verständnis von Kontaktelektrifizierung von Bedeutung sein könnte. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "Diese Forschung wurde durch die Scientific Service Units (SSU) des IST Austria unterstützt, durch Nutzung von Ressourcen der Lab Support Facility (LSF).\r\nOpen Access funding provided by Institute of Science and Technology Austria." article_number: e5487708 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: John R full_name: Hoffman Jr, John R id: 0cf4072c-94e2-11ee-bdf9-90a13138901e last_name: Hoffman Jr - first_name: Stefan Alexander full_name: Freunberger, Stefan Alexander id: A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425 last_name: Freunberger orcid: 0000-0003-2902-5319 - first_name: Scott R full_name: Waitukaitis, Scott R id: 3A1FFC16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Waitukaitis orcid: 0000-0002-2299-3176 citation: ama: 'Hoffman Jr JR, Freunberger SA, Waitukaitis SR.

The setting includes the case of generic transitions between quantum Hall phases. We consider the longitudinal conductivity, as given by Kubo formula, describing the variation of the current after introducing a space-homogeneous electric field, in an adiabatic way. We obtain an explicit expression for the longitudinal conductivity, completely determined by the number of conical intersections and by the shape of the cones. In particular, the formula reproduces the known quantized values found for graphene and for the critical Haldane model. Furthermore, we discuss the validity of Kubo formula in presence of conical intersections in the spectrum, starting from the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. For electric fields which are weak and slowly varying in space and in time, we prove the validity of linear response from quantum dynamics. acknowledgement: G. M. and M.

One material where the species transferred seems more certain is ionomers, i.e., polymers that contain mobile ions balanced by fixed counter‐charges. When ionomers touch a neutral surface, the latter becomes charged in the sign of the mobile ion, strongly suggesting ion transfer. However, the mechanism and governing factors of transfer remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that binding affinity between mobile ion and ionomer controls charge transfer with ionomers. We use ionomers with fixed anions and cations and perform ion exchange to create samples with a series of transferrable ions. We observe a strong binding‐affinity dependence for the anionic ionomer, such that mobile cations with the highest affinity transfers the least charge. Weaker, yet clear dependence was measured for the cationic ionomer, which follows the hydration free energy of the mobile anion. Using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‐OES), we confirm transfer of the mobile ions to the counter sample's surface. Our results confirm the identify and mechanism of charge transfer with ionomeric materials, with potential implications for contact electrification more broadly. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "This research was supported by the Scientific Service Units (SSU) of IST-Austria through resources provided by the Lab Support Facility (LSF).\r\nOpen Access funding provided by Institute of Science and Technology Austria." article_number: e5487708 article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: John R full_name: Hoffman Jr, John R id: 0cf4072c-94e2-11ee-bdf9-90a13138901e last_name: Hoffman Jr - first_name: Stefan Alexander full_name: Freunberger, Stefan Alexander id: A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425 last_name: Freunberger orcid: 0000-0003-2902-5319 - first_name: Scott R full_name: Waitukaitis, Scott R id: 3A1FFC16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Waitukaitis orcid: 0000-0002-2299-3176 citation: ama: 'Hoffman Jr JR, Freunberger SA, Waitukaitis SR.

To this end, we develop libraries in Lean 4 that present definitions and results from diverse areas of MathematiCS (i.e., Mathematics and Computer Science). The aim is to create code that is understandable, believable, useful, and elegant. The code should stand for itself as much as possible without a need for documentation; however, this text redundantly documents our code artifacts and provides additional context that isn’t present in the code. This thesis is written for readers who know Lean 4 but are not familiar with any of the topics presented. We manifest truth and beauty in three formalized areas of MathematiCS.\r\n\r\nWe formalize general grammars in Lean 4 and use grammars to show closure of the class of type-0 languages under four operations; union, reversal, concatenation, and the Kleene star.\r\n\r\nOur second stop is the theory of optimization. Farkas established that a system of linear inequalities has a solution if and only if we cannot obtain a contradiction by taking a linear combination of the inequalities. We state and formally prove several Farkas-like theorems over linearly ordered fields in Lean 4. Furthermore, we extend duality theory to the case when some coefficients are allowed to take “infinite values”. Additionally, we develop the basics of the theory of optimization in terms of the framework called General-Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problems, and we prove that, if a Rational-Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem template has symmetric fractional polymorphisms of all arities, then its basic LP relaxation is tight.\r\n\r\nOur third stop is matroid theory. Seymour’s decomposition theorem is a hallmark result in matroid theory, presenting a structural characterization of the class of regular matroids. We aim to formally verify Seymour’s theorem in Lean 4. First, we build a library for working with totally unimodular matrices. We define binary matroids and their standard representations, and we prove that they form a matroid in the sense how Mathlib defines matroids. We define regular matroids to be matroids for which there exists a full representation rational matrix that is totally unimodular, and we prove that all regular matroids are binary. We define 1-sum, 2-sum, and 3 sum of binary matroids as specific ways to compose their standard representation matrices. We prove that the 1-sum, the 2-sum, and the 3-sum of regular matroids are a regular matroid, which concludes the composition direction of the Seymour’s theorem. The (more difficult) decomposition direction remains unproved.\r\n\r\nIn the pursuit of truth, we focus on identifying the trusted code in each project and presenting it faithfully. We emphasize the readability and believability of definitions rather than choosing definitions that are easier to work with. In search for beauty, we focus on the philosophical framework of Roger Scruton, who emphasizes that beauty is not a mere decoration but, most importantly, beauty is the means for shaping our place in the world and a source of redemption, where it can be viewed as a substitute for religion." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Martin full_name: Dvorak, Martin id: 40ED02A8-C8B4-11E9-A9C0-453BE6697425 last_name: Dvorak orcid: 0000-0001-5293-214X citation: ama: 'Dvorak M.

In 1966, Hadwiger showed that any mass distribution in R^3 admits an eight-partition; moreover, one can prescribe the normal direction of one of the three planes. The analogous result for finite point sets follows by a standard limit argument. We prove the following variant of this result: any mass distribution (or point set) in R^3 admits an eight-partition for which the intersection of two of the planes is a line with a prescribed direction. Moreover, we present an efficient algorithm for calculating an eight-partition of a set of n points in R^3 (with prescribed normal direction of one of the planes) in time O(n^7/3).

In quantum many-body systems, however, such robust excitations are typically destroyed by thermalization. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the existence of solitonic excitations in high-energy states of Rydberg atom chains in the regime of strong nearest-neighbor Rydberg blockade. These localized wave packets propagate directionally atop a special class of reviving initial states related to quantum many-body scars and are capable of carrying energy. Exhibiting long coherence times, these states constitute a form of non-ergodic quantum dynamics and can be efficiently implemented on Rydberg atom simulators. In this work, in addition to a phenomenological description of solitons, we identify their counterpart in a classical nonlinear dynamical system, demonstrate their potential use in quantum information transfer, and conjecture their relevance for anomalous energy transport reported in numerical studies of Rydberg atom arrays. acknowledgement: We acknowledge useful discussions with J.-S.

An important goal is to determine the\r\nfixation probability of a single advantageous mutant that arises in a homogeneous\r\npopulation of N residents. Many real populations experience environmental\r\ngradients that cause mutations to be beneficial in some spatial\r\nregions but harmful in others. Here, we study the fixation probability of a\r\nmutant placed on a simple one-dimensional spatial structure that experiences\r\nsuch a gradient. The mutant’s fitness varies linearly from1 − s to 1 + s, whereas\r\nthe resident fitness is constant and equal to 1. The existing literature suggests\r\nthat such heterogeneity in the mutant’s fitness should lead to a decrease in its\r\nfixation probability. However, in this work, we find that small, non-negligible\r\ngradients (s < 1=√N) substantially increase the fixation probability,while larger\r\ngradients (s > (log N)/√N) substantially decrease it.Moreover, we quantify the\r\nstrength of this phenomenon analytically and we precisely delimit the range of\r\nthe gradients for which it occurs. Our computer simulations closely match\r\nthose findings.

In order to gain more insight \r\ninto this topic, we focus on studying the simple gene regulatory system of the lac operon in \r\nE. coli. We show that simple population genetic models can shed light on evolution \r\nexperiments and that this combined approach of modelling the experimental system gives \r\ninsight to better understand the causes of evolutionary change in the experiment. We also \r\nstudy the natural diversity in the lac operon from 308 publicly available E. coli genomes that \r\ncome from various host species and different regions of the world. Evidence that selection is \r\ngenerally maintaining the function of the lac operon across the sample regardless of host \r\nspecies is provided and we show that different protein coding genes in the operon are under \r\ndifferent selective constraints on protein sequence preservation. A similar frameshift \r\nmutation found in experimental evolution studies is shown to be present in the sample we \r\nanalyzed, indicating that selectively relevant variants in evolution experiments are also \r\npresent in natural populations. We show that there is no simple phylogenetic relationship \r\nbetween host species, geographical location and the lac operon sequence. Finally, we argue \r\nthat a combined approach of comparative genomics, experimental evolution and theoretical \r\nmodelling contributes to a more complete understanding of molecular evolution.

Two deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesised, enabling selective dissolution of EL without degrading the surrounding polymer matrices. The dissolved EL phase was subsequently recovered by centrifugation, demonstrating its potential for material reuse. Comprehensive characterisation confirmed that the process preserves fibre integrity. SEM imaging revealed no detectable changes in fibre morphology, while DSC and TGA analyses indicated that the thermal properties of both EL and synthetic polymers were preserved. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy verified the absence of measurable chemical modifications. Mechanical testing showed that solvent treatment did not compromise the tensile performance of PET, PA6, or PA66 fibres, confirming their suitability for fibre-to-fibre recycling.\r\nThe recovered fibres were successfully re-extruded into continuous filaments, confirming their melt processability and enabling potential applications in textile yarns, technical fibres, nonwovens, and polymer components via melt-spinning or moulding. These results demonstrate that the proposed DES-based method offers a promising approach for the circular recycling of complex fibre blends and provides a viable pathway towards industrial implementation." acknowledgement: "The financial support by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism, the National Foundation for Research, Technology and Development and the Christian Doppler Research Association is gratefully acknowledged.

Therefore, it is important to recognize all clinical symptoms and di-\r\nagnostic clues. We specifically investigated neuromuscular signs and symptoms and muscle biopsy pathology, providing a link between IgLON5 and clinical features of myopathy.\r\nMethods: \r\nAll patients diagnosed with anti-IgLON5 disease in the Netherlands between 2016 and 2023 were included. Serum and CSF samples were tested with immunohistochemistry on rat brain and in-house cell-based assay using live cells. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were performed in patients with neuromuscular signs and symptoms and analyzed in Vienna to-\r\ngether with 3 biopsies of non-Dutch patients sent to Vienna for second opinion.\r\nResults: \r\nTwenty patients with anti-IgLON5 disease were included (10 male, 50%). The median age at onset was 61.5 years (range 45–85), and the median time from onset to diagnosis was 30 months (range 3–280). Neuromuscular symptoms were present in over half of the patients (11/20), including proximal limb weakness (n = 11), axial weakness (n = 1), muscle atrophy (n = 6), and fasciculations (n = 5). All 12 muscle biopsies (9 from the Dutch cohort, 3 external) showed mild myopathic alterations, 2 additionally presented target fibers and fiber type grouping (compatible with neu-\r\nrogenic myopathy), and 3 patients showed immune cell infiltration. We found a strong upregulation of IgLON5 expression in muscle fibers in all patients and also in different muscle disease controls, while immunoreactivity in healthy control muscle was faint/absent.\r\nDiscussion: \r\nOur data support that IgLON5 might play a role in muscle regeneration, which might result in proximal myopathy as a prominent clinical feature in anti-IgLON5 disease. This finding broadens the clinical phenotype of anti-IgLON5 disease and can be an important clue for earlier diagnosis and start of immunotherapy." acknowledgement: "One author (Manuela Paunovic) was removed from the paper due to personal circumstances.

These environments facilitate both in situ formation and dynamical capture of compact objects and their subsequent mergers. The uncertain origin of GW events detected by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA motivates searching for accompanying electromagnetic (EM) signatures. Here, we investigate postmerger EM flares associated with jets launched from merger remnants, as well as from the shocked ambient gas as the jet breaks out of the disk. We find that jet breakout produces luminous gamma-ray emission, detectable with MeV-band telescopes. Cooling emission from a shocked circum-BH minidisk, winds, and background AGN disk peaks in the UV and optical, with durations ranging from about an hour to a month, and can be identified through year-long monitoring of ∼103 AGNs with luminosities ranging from ∼1044 to ∼1045 erg s−1. With a single set of parameters, this postmerger jet model produces gamma-ray, hard X-ray, and optical flares similar to those claimed to be associated with GW events. Furthermore, by incorporating a transition from a high- to low-angular-momentum accretion state after the merger, the model avoids excessive BH growth, alleviating tensions with hyper-Eddington accretion scenarios. acknowledgement: We thank Wen-Biao Han for fruitful discussions on possible scenarios.

Here, we analyze genes that control differences in the gradient of yellow flower color between two varieties of snapdragon (Antirrhinum). We show that these differences depend, in part, on cis-regulatory variation in the pigment biosynthetic gene, FLAVIA (FLA). FLA interacts multiplicatively with three other loci, one of which is a trans-acting regulator of FLA, to further shape the yellow gradient. All the loci exhibit clines at a hybrid zone, with widths that correlate with phenotypic effect, showing how selection can hone gradient shape with remarkable precision by acting on cis and trans variation at multiple loci. acknowledgement: We thank C.

Recent research into spin qubits in Ge/SiGe heterostructures has focused on increasing the thickness of the SiGe capping layer, reporting improvements in the electrostatic noise levels. Meanwhile, heterostructures with thinner capping layers remain rather unexplored, despite the potential advantages for proximity-induced superconductivity. Here, we study a Ge/SiGe heterostructure with a thin SiGe cap d - 4nm and investigate its viability to host low-noise quantum dots. To keep the thermal budget compatible with superconducting layers, low-temperature oxide deposition processes were developed and implemented for the gate dielectrics. The charge noise level of the fabricated devices is estimated to be 1.8  +- 1.0 μeV/ square HZ⁠, comparable to devices fabricated on shallow heterostructures (⁠ d - 20nm⁠) with high-temperature deposited oxides. Low charge noise levels, together with the straightforward integration of superconductors, make this heterostructure an attractive platform for prototyping hybrid semiconducting–superconducting devices. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: NanoFab acknowledgement: 'We sincerely thank Nick van Loo, Greg Mazur, Dhananjay Joshi, and Srijit Goswami for their inputs on low-temperature HfOx deposition; Matias Urdampilleta and Daniel Jirovec for discussions; and Kristen Léonard for the careful reading of the manuscript.

Although effective, these approaches alter multiple contributions to the interparticle potential simultaneously, making it difficult to isolate the interactions responsible for ordering or to control assembly in chemically complex environments. Here, we show that oligomeric species present in a nanocrystal reaction medium drive superlattice formation through a depletion mechanism. Using PbTe nanocrystals as a model system, we identify Pb–oleate oligomers in the crude reaction mixture, characterize their solution structure, and quantify their contribution to the interparticle potential, establishing depletion as the dominant short-range interaction governing spontaneous body-centered cubic superlattice formation. We then confirm the depletion origin of ordering by showing that varying depletant concentration predictably shifts the order–disorder boundary and produces a thermally reversible transition between dispersed and ordered states ─ behavior that is inconsistent with van der Waals or ligand-mediated mechanisms but is a direct consequence of depletion control. Having established and validated the mechanism, we demonstrate that the same depletion framework can be deliberately activated in purified dispersions and transferred across nanocrystal systems of different composition and shape, including anisotropic and binary assemblies. These results establish precursor-derived depletion as a general and chemically grounded mechanism for nanocrystal superlattice formation, and show that collective ordering can be programmed through the surrounding medium rather than through particle surface modification. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: NMR - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: ISTA and the Werner Siemens Foundation financially supported this work.
