Understanding the molecular composition, structural organization, and mobility of polysaccharides constituting this cell envelope is crucial to correlate cell wall organization with its role in pathogenicity and to identify potential antifungal targets. For the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, the characterization of the cell envelope has been complexified by the presence of an additional external polysaccharide capsular shell. Here, we investigate how magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR techniques increase the analytical capabilities to characterize the structure and dynamics of this encapsulated pathogen. The versatility of proton detection experiments, dynamic-based filters, and relaxation measurements facilitate the discrimination of the highly mobile external capsular structure from the internal rigid cell wall of C. neoformans. In addition, we report the in situ detection of triglyceride molecules from lipid droplets based on NMR dynamic filters. Together, we demonstrate a nondestructive technique to study the cell wall architecture of encapsulated microbes using C. neoformans as a model, an airborne opportunistic fungal pathogen that infects mainly immunocompromised but also competent hosts.},

  abstract     = {Thermoelectric (TE) materials can convert the heat produced during biochemical reactions into electrical signals, enabling the self-powered detection of biomarkers. In this work, we design and fabricate a simple Ag2Se nanofilm-based TE biosensor to precisely quantify hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in liquid samples. A chemical reaction involving horseradish peroxidase, ABTS and H2O2 in the specimens produces a photothermal agent—ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) free radical, which triggers the heat fluctuations at the TE sensor through the photo-thermal effect, eventually enabling the sensing of H2O2. Consequently, the constructed sensor can achieve a detection limit of 0.26 μM by a three-leg TE device design. Further investigations suggest that the application of our TE sensor can be extended in testing H2O2 in beverages (including milk, soda water, and lemonade) and evaluating the load of bacterial pathogens relevant to dental diseases and infections including Streptococcus sanguinis and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with high analytical accuracy. This strategy utilizes the combination of high thermoelectric performance with chemical reactions to realize a straightforward and accurate biomarker detection method, making it suitable for applications in medical diagnostics, personalized health monitoring, and the food industry.},

We demonstrate that in boreal summer and autumn, convection remains spatially random despite radiative-feedbacks acting to aggregate convection, which we attribute to the high density of convective moisture sources and the role of wind shear. Instead, in winter and spring, a weak meridional SST gradient exists and convection is usually clustered over the regions of warmer SSTs, with significant meridional humidity gradients. However, this is sporadically interrupted by episodes of convection migration to the coldest SSTs and limited spatial humidity variance. These episodes are the result of westward propagating equatorial waves, which remove meridional humidity gradients. It appears that the drivers of mesoscale convective clustering and humidity variability in the Pacific warm pool are the SST gradients, shear, and equatorial wave dynamics.},

In bosonic quantum fluids, the onset of a drag force experienced by point-like objects is due to collective environment excitations, driven by the exchange of linear momentum between the impurity and the many-body bath. In this work we consider a rotating impurity, with the aim of exploring how angular momentum is exchanged with the surrounding bosonic environment. In order to elucidate these issues, we employ a quasiparticle approach based on the angulon theory, which allows us to effectively deal with the non-trivial algebra of quantized angular momentum in the presence of a many-body environment. We uncover how impurity dressing by environmental excitations can establish an exchange channel, whose effectiveness crucially depends on the initial state of the impurity. Remarkably, we find that there is a critical value of initial angular momentum, above which this channel effectively freezes.},

This unique function renders them appealing for the construction of dynamic molecular systems, actuating materials, and molecular machines. Achieving a combination of high photoefficiency, visible-light responsiveness, synthetic accessibility, and easy tuning of dynamic properties within a single scaffold is critical for these applications but remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, a series of highly photoefficient visible-light–responsive molecular motors (MMs), featuring various rotary speeds, was obtained by a convenient one-step formylation of their parent motors. This strategy greatly improves all aspects of the performance of MMs—red-shifted wavelengths of excitation, high photoisomerization quantum yields, and high photostationary state distributions of isomers—beyond the state-of-the-art light-responsive MM systems. The development of this late-stage functionalization strategy of MMs opens avenues for the construction of high-performance molecular machines and devices for applications in materials science and biological systems, representing a major advance in the synthetic toolbox of molecular machines.},

Two-dimensional nanochannels—in which a single molecular layer of electrolyte is confined between solid walls—constitute a unique platform to investigate fluid and ion transport in extreme confinement, highlighting unconventional transport properties. In this work, we study ionic association in 2D nanochannels, and its consequences on non-linear ionic transport, using both molecular dynamics simulations and analytical theory. We show that under sufficient confinement, ions assemble into pairs or larger clusters in a process analogous to a Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, here modified by the dielectric confinement. We further show that the breaking of pairs results in an electric-field dependent conduction, a mechanism usually known as the second Wien effect. However the 2D nature of the system results in non-universal, temperature-dependent, scaling of the conductivity with electric field, leading to ionic coulomb blockade in some regimes. A 2D generalization of the Onsager theory fully accounts for the non-linear transport. These results suggest ways to exploit electrostatic interactions between ions to build new nanofluidic devices.},

  abstract     = {In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code 𝒞 ⊆ [q]ⁿ is (p,𝓁,L)-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists (Y₁,… ,Y_n) with each Y_i ⊆ [q] and |Y_i| = 𝓁, the number of codewords c ∈ 𝒞 such that c_i ∉ Y_i for at most pn choices of i ∈ [n] is less than L; list-decoding is the special case of 𝓁 = 1. In recent work by Resch, Yuan and Zhang (ICALP 2023) the zero-rate threshold for list-recovery was determined for all parameters: that is, the work explicitly computes p_*: = p_*(q,𝓁,L) with the property that for all ε > 0 (a) there exist positive-rate (p_*-ε,𝓁,L)-list-recoverable codes, and (b) any (p_*+ε,𝓁,L)-list-recoverable code has rate 0. In fact, in the latter case the code has constant size, independent on n. However, the constant size in their work is quite large in 1/ε, at least |𝒞| ≥ (1/(ε))^O(q^L).
Our contribution in this work is to show that for all choices of q,𝓁 and L with q ≥ 3, any (p_*+ε,𝓁,L)-list-recoverable code must have size O_{q,𝓁,L}(1/ε), and furthermore this upper bound is complemented by a matching lower bound Ω_{q,𝓁,L}(1/ε). This greatly generalizes work by Alon, Bukh and Polyanskiy (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2018) which focused only on the case of binary alphabet (and thus necessarily only list-decoding). We remark that we can in fact recover the same result for q = 2 and even L, as obtained by Alon, Bukh and Polyanskiy: we thus strictly generalize their work. 
Our main technical contribution is to (a) properly define a linear programming relaxation of the list-recovery condition over large alphabets; and (b) to demonstrate that a certain function defined on a q-ary probability simplex is maximized by the uniform distribution. This represents the core challenge in generalizing to larger q (as a binary simplex can be naturally identified with a one-dimensional interval). We can subsequently re-utilize certain Schur convexity and convexity properties established for a related function by Resch, Yuan and Zhang along with ideas of Alon, Bukh and Polyanskiy.},

We determined the isomer shift [δ = 3.3(1) millimeters per second] relative to [OsIVCl6]2− and quadrupole splitting [ΔEQ = 12.0(2) millimeters per second] with NFS. We estimated the Lamb-Mössbauer factor [0.80(4)], extracted the density of phonon states, and carried out a thermodynamics characterization using the NIS data combined with first-principles calculations. Overall, we provide evidence that 187Os nuclear resonance scattering is a reliable technique for the investigation of hyperfine interactions and Os-specific vibrations in osmium(VI) species and is thus applicable for such measurements in osmium complexes of other oxidation states, including those with anticancer activity such as Os(III) and Os(IV).},

  abstract     = {Context. The presence of dips in the gravity mode period spacing versus period diagram of γ Doradus stars is now well established thanks to recent asteroseismic studies. Such Lorentzian-shaped inertial dips arise from the interaction of gravito-inertial modes in the radiative envelope of intermediate-mass main sequence stars with pure inertial modes in their convective core, and allow us to study stellar internal properties. This window onto stellar internal dynamics is extremely valuable in the context of the understanding of angular-momentum transport inside stars, as it allows us to probe rotation in their core.

Aims. We investigate the signature and the detectability of a differential rotation between the convective core and the near-core region inside γ Doradus stars from the properties of inertial dips.

Methods. We studied the coupling between gravito-inertial modes in the radiative zone and pure inertial modes in the convective core in the sub-inertial regime, allowing for a two-zone differential rotation from the two sides of the core-to-envelope boundary. We solved the coupling equation numerically and matched the result to an analytical derivation of the Lorentzian dip properties. We then used typical values of measured near-core rotation and buoyancy travel time to infer ranges of parameters for which differential core to near-core rotation would be detectable in current Kepler data.

Results. We show that increasing the convective core rotation with respect to the near-core rotation leads to a shift of the period of the observed dip to lower periods. In addition, the dip gets deeper and thinner as the convective core rotation increases. We demonstrate that such a signature is detectable in Kepler data, given appropriate dip-parameter ranges and near-core structural properties.

Conclusions. Studying the dip properties in asteroseismic data thus allows us to access core to near-core radial differential rotation and to better understand the transport of angular momentum at convective–radiative interfaces in intermediate-mass main sequence stars.},

Using Voigt profile fitting for all H i absorbers detected within ±​​​​​​500 km s−1 of these LAEs, we compiled a catalog of 800 H i absorption components. Our analysis shows that H i absorption is enhanced near the LAEs compared to the intergalactic medium. However, no trend is found between the column densities of H i absorbers and their impact parameters from the LAEs (spanning ​​​​​​≈54–260 pkpc). Additionally, all galaxies associated with Lyman-limit systems have impact parameters >50 pkpc from the quasar sightlines, suggesting that true absorber hosts may be too faint to detect. The LAEs show an overall H i covering fraction (fc(H i)) of ≈88% for a threshold (math. formular) (H i) = 15. Notably, at the same threshold, the LAEs in pairs/groups exhibit a 100% H i covering fraction out to ≈250 pkpc. In contrast, isolated LAEs consistently show a lower fc(H i) of ≈80%. This environmental influence on fc(H i) is also evident up to ≈300 km s−1 in differential bins of line-of-sight velocity. We find an anticorrelation between fc(H i) and the equivalent width of rest-frame Lyα emission (EW0). Based on the Lyα shell model, this could imply that gas-rich galaxies tend to reside in gas-rich environments or that the LAEs with higher EW0 are more efficient at ionizing their surrounding medium.},

Here, we aimed to investigate the response of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (boMdM) to SaEVs of the genotype B (GTB) mastitis-related strain M5512B. Specifically, we evaluated the effects on the actin cytoskeleton, gene expression, and the SaEV proteomic cargo. Furthermore, we assessed to what extent the cellular and molecular response of boMdM to SaEVs differed from peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs) used for in vitro derivation of the former. We observed that SaEVs induced morphological changes in boMdM, leading to a pro-inflammatory and pyroptosis-related increased gene expression. Additionally, our study revealed that boMdM and PBMCs exhibited stimulus-specific differing responses. The proteomic analysis of SaEVs identified clusters of proteins related to virulence and antibiotic resistance, supporting the theory that S. aureus might use EVs to evade host defences and colonize the mammary gland. Our results bring new insights into how SaEVs might impact the host during an S. aureus infection, which can be useful for future S. aureus vaccine development.},

Recent work using C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter data from the Sentinel-1 satellite mission has shown good promise for tracking mountain snow depth over specific northern hemisphere ranges, although the broader potential is still unknown. Here, we extend the new Sentinel-1 based modeling framework beyond the northern hemisphere by only utilizing globally available input data, and evaluate different model parametrization and model performance over the Chilean and Argentine Andes mountains, which contain the largest mountain snowpack in the southern hemisphere. The accuracy of Sentinel-1 snow depth estimates is evaluated against an extensive in situ network available for the region. Satellite-retrieved snow depth is found to have poorer performance across the Andes than observed for northern hemisphere mountain ranges because of greater sensitivity to evergreen forest cover and shallower snowpacks. The algorithm does offer some skill but performance is variable and site-dependent. Algorithm performance is best over regions with limited evergreen forest cover (<15%) and snow depths greater than 0.75 m, although the retrievals over-estimate snow depth across most sites. Systemic errors for specific snow classes and across different snow depths are shown, highlighting specific areas in need of further investigation and development.},

However, in young nonrecombining regions, Y/W chromosomes often have many functional genes, and many X/Z-linked loci are therefore diploid. The sheltering of recessive mutations on the X/Z by the Y/W homolog is expected to drive slower adaptation for diploid X/Z loci, i.e. a reduction in the efficacy of selection. While the Faster-X effect has been studied extensively, much less is known empirically about the evolutionary dynamics of diploid X or Z chromosomes. Here, we took advantage of published population genomic data in the female-heterogametic human parasite Schistosoma japonicum to characterize the gene content and diversity levels of the diploid and hemizygous regions of the Z chromosome. We used different metrics of selective pressures acting on genes to test for differences in the efficacy of selection in hemizygous and diploid Z regions, relative to autosomes. We found consistent patterns suggesting reduced Ne, and reduced efficacy of purifying selection, on both hemizygous and diploid Z regions. Moreover, relaxed selection was particularly pronounced for female-biased genes on the diploid Z, as predicted by recent theoretical work.},

  abstract     = {We investigate a molecular quantum rotor in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. The focus is on studying the angulon quasiparticle concept in the crossover from few- to many-body physics. To this end, we formulate the problem in real space and solve it with a mean-field approach in the frame co-rotating with the impurity. We show that the system starts to feature angulon characteristics when the size of the bosonic cloud is large enough to screen the rotor. More importantly, we demonstrate the departure from the angulon picture for large system sizes or large angular momenta where the properties of the system are determined by collective excitations of the Bose gas.},

@article{19373,
  abstract     = {Reproducible pattern and form generation during embryogenesis is poorly understood. Intestinal organoid morphogenesis involves a number of mechanochemical regulators such as cell-type-specific cytoskeletal forces and osmotically driven lumen volume changes. It is unclear how these forces are coordinated in time and space to ensure robust morphogenesis. Here we show how mechanosensitive feedback on cytoskeletal tension gives rise to morphological bistability in a minimal model of organoid morphogenesis. In the model, lumen volume changes can impact the epithelial shape via both direct mechanical and indirect mechanosensitive mechanisms. We find that both bulged and budded crypt states are possible and dependent on the history of volume changes. We test key modelling assumptions via biophysical and pharmacological experiments to demonstrate how bistability can explain experimental observations, such as the importance of the timing of lumen shrinkage and robustness of the final morphogenetic state to mechanical perturbations. This suggests that bistability arising from feedback between cellular tensions and fluid pressure could be a general mechanism that coordinates multicellular shape changes in developing systems.},

@article{19374,
  abstract     = {In the present study, the new ternary rare earth intermetallic compound PrNi6Si6 has been investigated. This work completes the study of the RNi6Si6 series (R = rare earth). While the RNi6Si6 compounds for R = La and Ce adopt the CeNi6Si6-type (tP52, P4/nbm, No. 125), surprisingly PrNi6Si6 crystallizes in the YNi6Si6 prototype (tP52, P − 4b2, No. 117) as do all the heavier lanthanides (but Lu). The YNi6Si6-type and its homolog CeNi6Si6 are two tetragonal ordered derivative of the cubic NaZn13-type structure. Lattice parameters for PrNi6Si6 are a = 7.7846(1) Å, c = 11.2144(1) Å, with a unit cell volume, Vobs = 679.585(5) Å3. The temperature dependence of the inverse magnetic susceptibility χ−1(T) follows the Curie–Weiss law, with calculated values of the effective magnetic moment (µeff) and Weiss temperature (Θpm) of 3.55 μB and − 4.5 K, respectively. While the observed µeff is very close to the theoretical value of 3.58 µB for the free Pr3+ ions, a negative value of the Weiss temperature suggests antiferromagnetic interactions in PrNi6Si6. Magnetization measurements confirm that PrNi₆Si₆ orders antiferromagnetically (AFM) below a Néel temperature (TN) of 9 K. The Ni atoms contribute negligibly to the magnetic properties of this phase. The specific heat of PrNi₆Si₆ is approximately 0.42 J K  − 1  g − 1. Measurements of electric and thermal transport reveal that PrNi₆Si₆ exhibits metallic behavior across a wide temperature range of 2–900 K, accompanied by a relatively low thermal conductivity of around 6 W K − 1 m − 1 at room temperature. Such properties, together with its high-temperature refractory behavior, make PrNi₆Si₆ worthy of consideration in technological applications where fairly good electrical conductivity should be accompanied by a limited thermal conductivity.},
