In rodents, the cerebellum contains relatively high glycogen levels, yet its cellular and subcellular distribution remains poorly defined. Using monoclonal antibodies against glycogen, we examined its distribution in the mouse cerebellar cortex. Glycogen was predominantly localized to Bergmann glia (BG) processes in the molecular layer and was also detected in Purkinje cells (PCs), the principal cerebellar neurons. To assess the functional significance of cerebellar glycogen, we analyzed behavior in mice lacking glycogen synthase 1 (Gys1) in BG or PCs using a floxed Gys1 line. Gys1 deficiency in either PCs or GFAP-positive cells reduced anxiety-like behavior, whereas combined deletion caused PC degeneration and ataxia. These findings reveal a critical role for glycogen metabolism in both astrocytes and neurons in cerebellar function.","lang":"eng"}]},{"title":"From kinetic theory to AI: A rediscovery of high-dimensional divergences and their properties","oa_version":"Preprint","year":"2026","_id":"21504","month":"03","article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"This work has been written within the activities of GNCS and GNFM groups of INdAM (Italian\r\nNational Institute of High Mathematics).

Quadrupolar (ℓ = 2) mixed modes also contain information regarding internal dynamics but are very rarely characterised due to their low amplitude and the challenging identification of adjacent or overlapping rotationally split multiplets affected by near-degeneracy effects. We aim to extend the broadly used asymptotic seismic diagnostics beyond ℓ = 1 mixed modes by developing an analogue asymptotic description of ℓ = 2 mixed modes while explicitly accounting for near-degeneracy effects that distort their rotational multiplets. We have derived a new asymptotic formulation of near-degenerate mixed ℓ = 2 modes that describes off-diagonal terms representing the interaction between modes of adjacent radial orders. This formalism, expressed directly in the mixed-mode basis, provides analytical expressions for the near-degeneracy effects. We implemented the formalism within a global Bayesian mode-fitting framework for a direct fit of all ℓ = 0, 1, 2 modes in the power spectrum density. We were able to asymptotically model the asymmetric rotational splitting present in various radial orders of ℓ = 2 modes observed in young red giant stars without the need for any numerical stellar modelling. We applied our formalism to the Kepler target KIC 7341231, and it yielded core and envelope rotation rates consistent with previous numerical modelling while providing improved constraints from the global and model-independent approach. We also characterised the new target, KIC 8179973, measuring its rotation rate and mixed-mode parameters for the first time. As our framework relies on a direct global fit, it allows for much better precision on the asteroseismic parameters and rotation rate estimates than standard methods, yielding better constraints for rotation inversions. We have placed the first observational constraints on the asymptotic ℓ = 2 mixed-mode parameters (ΔΠ2, q2, and εg, 2), thus paving the way towards the use of asymptotic seismology beyond ℓ = 1 mixed modes."}],"ddc":["520"],"arxiv":1,"acknowledgement":"We thank the referee for their careful and constructive report, which has substantially enhanced both the quality and clarity of the manuscript.

Our analysis focuses on tropical precipitation characteristics spanning a wide range of spatio-temporal scales—including the diurnal cycle, extreme precipitation, convective organization, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)—along with interactions between convection and the thermodynamic environment. All three models commonly show weaker convective organization with smaller precipitation cells than observed, though the strength of the bias varies by model. This diversity is introduced by differences in the representation of (a) convective initiation affected by the convective sensitivity to moisture and (b) tropospheric moistening associated with deep convection. Models with stronger thermodynamic-convection coupling increase environmental moisture near convection, thereby enhancing convective organization. This has important upscale effects on the MJO; while IFS and NICAM capture its eastward propagation well, ICON has difficulty reproducing it. The amplitudes and phases of precipitation diurnal cycles over land show much greater disagreement among the models than over ocean, influenced by how convection is initiated. Biases in rain evaporation and cold pool formation hinder the propagation of mesoscale convection, leading to errors such as the misrepresentation of nocturnal convection moving off the coast of Sumatra in IFS and ICON. These results highlight the importance of thermodynamic-convection coupling in realistically simulating tropical convection across scales. To improve this coupling, kilometer-scale models require better representation of the interaction between resolved convection and three-dimensional turbulent mixing.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","file":[{"file_name":"2026_JAMES_Takasuka.pdf","date_updated":"2026-04-07T09:11:23Z","checksum":"ca7dac4bab31348d0640ed22580c6dce","success":1,"file_size":3854313,"relation":"main_file","file_id":"21665","date_created":"2026-04-07T09:11:23Z","creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Takasuka","first_name":"Daisuke","full_name":"Takasuka, Daisuke"},{"first_name":"Tobias","full_name":"Becker, Tobias","last_name":"Becker"},{"id":"bb9a7399-fefd-11ed-be3c-ae648fd1d160","full_name":"Bao, Jiawei","first_name":"Jiawei","last_name":"Bao"}],"publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","project":[{"grant_number":"101034413","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program"}],"title":"Precipitation characteristics and thermodynamic-convection coupling in global kilometer-scale simulations","oa_version":"None","_id":"21657","issue":"3","year":"2026","month":"03","article_processing_charge":"Yes"},{"OA_type":"diamond","acknowledgement":"The authors want to thank the anonymous referee for useful comments.

In particular, the ability of these envelope gravito-inertial modes to couple with those trapped in the radiative interior could open up new opportunities for probing the deep-layer dynamics of solar-type stars. The possibility for such a coupling to occur is particularly favoured among pre-main-sequence (PMS) solar-type stars. Indeed, due to the contraction of the protostellar object, they are able to reach high rotation frequencies before nuclear reactions are ignited and magnetic braking becomes the driving mechanism for their rotational evolution. In this work, we studied the coupling between the envelope inertial waves and the radiative interior g modes in PMS stars, focussing on the case of prograde dipolar modes. We considered the cases of 0.5 M⊙ and 1 M⊙ PMS models, each with three different scenarios of rotational evolution. We show that for stars that have formed with a sufficient amount of angular momentum, this coupling can occur in frequency ranges that are accessible to space-borne photometry, creating inertial dips in the period spacing pattern. Using an asymptotic analysis, we characterised the shape of these inertial dips to show that they depend on rotation and on the stiffness of the convective-radiative interface."}],"status":"public","file":[{"success":1,"checksum":"a7fd798bf450d67d4166fdf54ff2c70c","date_updated":"2026-04-07T09:20:02Z","file_name":"2026_AstronomyAstrophysics_Breton.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","date_created":"2026-04-07T09:20:02Z","file_id":"21666","file_size":1535506,"relation":"main_file"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"project":[{"name":"Unveiling the mysteries of stellar dynamics: a pioneering journey in magnetoasteroseismology","_id":"914d8549-16d5-11f0-9cad-bbe6324c93a9","grant_number":"101165631"}],"publication_status":"published","article_type":"letter_editor","author":[{"first_name":"S.

In this paper, we give a detailed overview of today’s state-of-the-art algorithms for MDP model checking with a focus on performance and correctness. We highlight their fundamental differences, and describe various optimizations and implementation variants. We experimentally compare floating-point and exact-arithmetic implementations of all algorithms on three benchmark sets using two probabilistic model checkers. Our results show that (optimistic) value iteration is a sensible default, but other algorithms are preferable in specific settings.

Ever more powerful edge devices, such as smartphones, have become\r\nubiquitous in most societies on earth. Through text typed, photos taken and apps used,\r\nthese devices, which we refer to as clients, generate enormous amounts of high quality and\r\ncomplex data. Moreover, the nature of these devices means the data they generate is often\r\nsensitive and privacy concerns prevent it being gathered and stored in a central location. This\r\npresents a challenge to the modern machine learning paradigm that requires central access\r\nto large amounts of data. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as one of the answers to\r\nthis problem. Rather than bringing the data to the model, FL sends the model to the data.\r\nModel training takes place on device, with periodically synchronized updates, allowing data to\r\nremain locally stored. While this approach offers significant privacy advantages it comes with\r\nits own set of unique challenges. These include: data heterogeneity, the notion that different\r\ndevices generate data in distinct ways which can negatively impact training dynamics; systems\r\nheterogeneity, meaning that different devices may have differing hardware specifications; high\r\ncommunication costs, which are induced by the repeated transferring of models over the\r\nnetwork and low device computational power, which limits the use of larger models on device.\r\nIn this thesis we present a range of methods for federated learning. We focus primarily on\r\nthe challenge of data heterogeneity, though the methods presented are designed to be well\r\nadapted to the other challenges of a federated setting, such as the constraints of limited\r\ncompute and communication overhead. We first present a method for explicitly modeling client\r\ndata heterogeneity. The approach formulates clients as samples from a certain probability\r\ndistribution and infers the parameters of this distribution from the available training clients.\r\nThis learned distribution then represents the heterogeneity present among the clients and can\r\nbe sampled from in order to create new simulated clients that are similar to the real clients we\r\nhave observed so far. Following this we present two methods for directly dealing with data\r\nheterogeneity through personalization. Highly heterogeneous client data distributions can mean\r\nthat learning a single global model becomes suboptimal, and some form of personalization of\r\nmodels to each individual client is required. Our approaches are based around hypernetworks,\r\nwhich we use to generate personalized model parameters without the need for additional\r\ntraining or finetuning. In the first approach we focus on generating full parameterizations of\r\nclient models using learned embeddings of client data and labels, with a hypernetwork located\r\non the central server. In the second approach we address the more challenging scenario where\r\nwe want to generate a personalized model for a client without any label information. The\r\nhypernetwork is trained to generate a low dimensional representation of a client’s personalized\r\nmodel parameters, allowing it to be transferred to and run on the client devices. In our final\r\npresented method, we change our focus and rather than aim to directly address the challenge\r\nof data heterogeneity, we instead ensure we are unaffected by it. This is done in the context\r\nof k-means clustering and we present a method for federated clustering with a focus on added\r\nprivacy guarantees.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-02-09T00:00:00Z","status":"public","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","file":[{"relation":"source_file","file_size":272379252,"file_id":"21298","date_created":"2026-02-17T11:46:22Z","creator":"jscott","access_level":"closed","content_type":"application/zip","file_name":"2026_Scott_Jonathan_Thesis_Source.zip","date_updated":"2026-02-17T11:46:22Z","checksum":"121c1d968bd86f3630aa7e81d5bbbcb0"},{"date_updated":"2026-02-27T10:25:41Z","file_name":"2026_Jonathan_Scott_Thesis.pdf","checksum":"6e3e08ba474bbee8511cc8a839ab2077","success":1,"relation":"main_file","file_size":15220298,"file_id":"21366","access_level":"open_access","creator":"jscott","date_created":"2026-02-27T10:25:41Z","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"oa":1,"publication_status":"published","author":[{"first_name":"Jonathan A","full_name":"Scott, Jonathan A","id":"e499926b-f6e0-11ea-865d-9c63db0031e8","last_name":"Scott"}],"title":"Data heterogeneity and personalization in federated learning","_id":"21198","year":"2026","oa_version":"Published Version","month":"02","article_processing_charge":"No","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"has_accepted_license":"1","OA_place":"publisher","date_updated":"2026-04-07T11:46:11Z","corr_author":"1","supervisor":[{"last_name":"Lampert","orcid":"0000-0001-8622-7887","first_name":"Christoph","full_name":"Lampert, Christoph","id":"40C20FD2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-02-27T10:25:41Z","date_created":"2026-02-09T14:59:53Z","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"ChLa"}],"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","day":"09","doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-21198","page":"158","type":"dissertation","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"20819","status":"public"},{"status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"17411"},{"status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"18120"},{"status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"21207"}]},"citation":{"chicago":"Scott, Jonathan A. “Data Heterogeneity and Personalization in Federated Learning.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2026. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21198\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21198</a>.","ama":"Scott JA.

It considers how continuous manifolds relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure, both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling, or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic fields.

Given a function from a topological space to $\\mathbb{R}$, TDA provides tools to simplify and study the importance of topological features: in particular, the $l^{th}$-dimensional persistence diagram encodes the $l$-homology in the sublevel set as the function value increases as a set of points in the plane. Given a continuous one-parameter family of such functions, we can combine the persistence diagrams into an object known as a vineyard, which track the evolution of points in the persistence diagram. If we further restrict that family of functions to be periodic, we identify the two ends of the vineyard, yielding a closed vineyard. This allows the study of monodromy, which in this context means that following the family of functions for a period permutes the set of points in a non-trivial way. In this work, given a link and value $l$, we construct a topological space and periodic family of functions such that the closed $l$-vineyard contains this link. This shows that vineyards are topologically as rich as one could possibly hope. Importantly, it has at least two immediate consequences: First, monodromy of any periodicity can occur in a $l$-vineyard, answering a variant of a question by [Arya et al 2024]. To exhibit this, we also reformulate monodromy in a more geometric way, which may be of interest in itself. Second, distinguishing vineyards is likely to be difficult given the known difficulty of knot and link recognition, which have strong connections to many NP-hard problems."}],"date_published":"2026-01-02T00:00:00Z","arxiv":1,"corr_author":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2504.11203"]},"OA_place":"repository","date_updated":"2026-04-07T11:42:48Z"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1476-4660"],"issn":["1476-1122"]},"OA_place":"repository","date_updated":"2026-04-13T07:29:34Z","corr_author":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.20695 "]},"date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:53Z","department":[{"_id":"DeBa"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Baykusheva, Denitsa Rangelova, Deven Carmichael, Clara S.

Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control. Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored. Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated states and exciton-based quantum sensing.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-03-09T00:00:00Z","scopus_import":"1","status":"public","OA_type":"green","arxiv":1,"acknowledgement":"We thank K.

Open clusters offer the most straightforward way to empirically determine the IFMR, as their well-defined ages allow for direct progenitor lifetime estimates. We construct the most comprehensive open cluster WD IFMR to date by combining new spectroscopy of 22 WDs with an extensive literature review of WDs with strong cluster associations. To minimize systematics, we restrict our analysis to spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-atmosphere (DA) WDs consistent with single-stellar origins. We separately analyze a subset with reliable Gaia-based astrometric membership assessments, as well as a full sample that adds WDs with strong cluster associations whose membership cannot be reliably assessed with Gaia. The Gaia-based sample includes 69 spectroscopically confirmed DA WDs, more than doubling the sample size of previous Gaia-based open cluster IFMRs. The full sample, which includes 53 additional literature WDs,\r\nincreases the total number of cluster WDs by over 50% relative to earlier works. We provide functional forms for both the Gaia-based and full-sample IFMRs. The Gaia-based result useful for Mi � 2.67 M⊙ is Mf = [0.179 0.100H (Mi 3.84 M )] × (Mi 3.84 M ) + 0.628 M , where H(x) is the Heaviside step function. Comparing our IFMR to recent literature, we identify significant deviations from best-fit IFMRs derived from both Gaia-based volume-limited samples of field WDs and double WD binaries, with the largest discrepancy occurring for initial masses of about 5 M⊙."}],"scopus_import":"1","status":"public","file":[{"file_id":"21733","file_size":19310053,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","date_created":"2026-04-13T08:36:50Z","date_updated":"2026-04-13T08:36:50Z","file_name":"2026_AstrophysicalJournal_Miller.pdf","success":1,"checksum":"65a8237a519188af83b6dc4d47ad85fa"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","author":[{"first_name":"David R.","full_name":"Miller, David R.","last_name":"Miller"},{"first_name":"Ilaria","full_name":"Caiazzo, Ilaria","id":"8ae5b6e7-2a03-11ee-914d-b58ed7a3b47d","last_name":"Caiazzo","orcid":"0000-0002-4770-5388"},{"full_name":"Heyl, Jeremy","first_name":"Jeremy","last_name":"Heyl"},{"last_name":"Richer","full_name":"Richer, Harvey B.","first_name":"Harvey B."},{"first_name":"Mark A.","full_name":"Hollands, Mark A.","last_name":"Hollands"},{"first_name":"Pier Emmanuel","full_name":"Tremblay, Pier Emmanuel","last_name":"Tremblay"},{"first_name":"Kareem","full_name":"El-Badry, Kareem","last_name":"El-Badry"},{"full_name":"Rodriguez, Antonio C.","first_name":"Antonio C.","last_name":"Rodriguez"},{"last_name":"Vanderbosch","first_name":"Zachary P.","full_name":"Vanderbosch, Zachary P."}],"publisher":"IOP Publishing","day":"01","doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/ae18c8","type":"journal_article","citation":{"short":"D.R.

In parallel, advances in nanophotonics have enabled wavefront control through metasurfaces, a capability that has transformed fields such as microscopy by allowing tailored control of optical propagation. This naturally raises the following question, which we address in this perspective: can wavefront-control strategies be leveraged to improve scintillation-based imaging? To answer this question, we explore nanophotonic- and metasurface-enabled wavefront control in scintillators to mitigate image blurring arising from their intrinsically diffuse light emission. While depth-of-field extension in scintillation faces fundamental limitations absent in microscopy, this approach reveals promising avenues, including stacked scintillators, selective spatial-frequency enhancement, and X-ray energy-dependent imaging. These results clarify the key distinctions in adapting wavefront engineering to scintillation and its potential to enable tailored detection strategies.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-01-14T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"arxiv":1,"external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.09830"]},"OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","date_updated":"2026-04-13T11:26:08Z"},{"oa":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_number":"2601.21385","author":[{"first_name":"Jakob M.","full_name":"Grzesik, Jakob M.","last_name":"Grzesik"},{"last_name":"Karnieli","full_name":"Karnieli, Aviv","first_name":"Aviv"},{"last_name":"Roques-Carmes","id":"e2e68fc9-6505-11ef-a541-eb4e72cc3e82","full_name":"Roques-Carmes, Charles","first_name":"Charles"},{"last_name":"Black","first_name":"Dylan S.","full_name":"Black, Dylan S."},{"last_name":"Lê","full_name":"Lê, Trung Kiên","first_name":"Trung Kiên"},{"full_name":"Solgaard, Olav","first_name":"Olav","last_name":"Solgaard"},{"first_name":"Shanhui","full_name":"Fan, Shanhui","last_name":"Fan"},{"last_name":"Vučković","first_name":"Jelena","full_name":"Vučković, Jelena"}],"publication_status":"submitted","date_created":"2026-04-09T09:10:41Z","external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.21385"]},"arxiv":1,"date_updated":"2026-04-13T11:28:06Z","OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We provide a theoretical framework to describe the dynamics of a free-electron beam interacting with quantized bound systems in arbitrary electromagnetic environments.

We leverage this enhanced coupling for experimentally feasible protocols in coherent qubit control and towards the nondestructive readout and projective control of the electron beam's quantum-number statistics.

We present a photonic integrated circuit that enables the generation and analysis of arbitrary polarization states. The device provides reconfigurable access to the full polarization degree of freedom of coherent light within a single integrated platform. We experimentally demonstrate arbitrary polarization state generation spanning the Poincare sphere, as well as Stokes vector measurement on chip. Unlike conventional Stokes measurements that rely on direct detection, polarization analysis utilizing this architecture is intrinsically non-destructive, preserving the optical signal for further optical domain processing. The devices are fabricated in a commercial foundry using CMOS-compatible processes, enabling scalable and reproducible integration. By combining polarization generation and analysis in a compact and stable photonic circuit, this work eliminates the need for external polarization optics and provides a foundation for robust, polarization-enabled photonic integrated systems."}],"status":"public","OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","date_updated":"2026-04-13T11:25:12Z","arxiv":1,"external_id":{"arxiv":["2602.17024 "]}},{"article_processing_charge":"No","month":"02","oa_version":"Preprint","year":"2026","_id":"21291","title":"Lineage origin of spinal cord cell type diversity","author":[{"full_name":"Gobeil, Sophie A","id":"2f3e9efb-eb24-11ec-86b2-88efb11d59fa","first_name":"Sophie A","last_name":"Gobeil"},{"last_name":"Da Silveira Neto","id":"8cfb7412-10a7-11f1-add1-82b44e6418f2","full_name":"Da Silveira Neto, Francisco","first_name":"Francisco"},{"last_name":"Silvestrelli","first_name":"Giulia","full_name":"Silvestrelli, Giulia","id":"12632ae8-799e-11ef-94a2-e5a3b5ef49e9"},{"last_name":"Smits","first_name":"Matthijs Geert","full_name":"Smits, Matthijs Geert","id":"7a231d52-e216-11ee-a0bb-8acd55f8f1f0"},{"first_name":"Carmen","full_name":"Streicher, Carmen","id":"36BCB99C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Streicher"},{"first_name":"Giselle T","full_name":"Cheung, Giselle T","id":"471195F6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Cheung","orcid":"0000-0001-8457-2572"},{"full_name":"Hippenmeyer, Simon","id":"37B36620-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Simon","last_name":"Hippenmeyer","orcid":"0000-0003-2279-1061"},{"first_name":"Lora Beatrice Jaeger","full_name":"Sweeney, Lora Beatrice Jaeger","id":"56BE8254-C4F0-11E9-8E45-0B23E6697425","orcid":"0000-0001-9242-5601","last_name":"Sweeney"}],"project":[{"_id":"ebb66355-77a9-11ec-83b8-b8ac210a4dae","grant_number":"101041551","name":"Development and Evolution of Tetrapod Motor Circuits"},{"name":"Stem Cell Modulation in Neural Development and Regeneration/ P14-Swim-to-limb transition: cell type to connection diversity","_id":"8da85f50-16d5-11f0-9cad-eab8b0ff6c9e","grant_number":"F7814"},{"grant_number":"F7805","_id":"059F6AB4-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","name":"Stem Cell Modulation in Neural Development and Regeneration/ P05-Molecular Mechanisms of Neural Stem Cell Lineage Progression"}],"publication_status":"submitted","oa":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The complexity and specificity of movement in vertebrates is driven by a rich diversity of spinal motor and interneuron cell types. During development, eleven spinal cord progenitor domains generate an equivalent number of cardinal neuron types. How progenitor domains, individual progenitors, and post-mitotic diversity relate is still unknown. We performed high-resolution, single-progenitor cell lineage tracing in the embryonic mouse spinal cord using mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM). Our quantitative study of lineage progression revealed that spinal cord progenitors undergo highly variable numbers of proliferative, neurogenic, and gliogenic cell divisions. The nascent clonally-related neurons migrate radially over large distances, span the dorsoventral axis, and even cross the midline, demonstrating striking bilaterality. Molecular and morphometric analysis indicate high levels of progenitor multipotency, with an individual progenitor capable of producing several molecularly and morphologically distinct neuron types, as well as astrocytes. These findings redefine spinal cord development as a process in which lineage variability — rather than rigid progenitor identity — drives the generation of cellular diversity."}],"date_published":"2026-02-16T00:00:00Z","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Elizabeth Marin, Anna Kicheva, Igor Adameyko, and James Briscoe as\r\nwell as members of the Sweeney and Hippemeyer labs and SFB consortium for comments on\r\nthe manuscript.

Here, we explore the possibility of speeding up these interactions in 3D crystals via parametric amplification. For this purpose, we derive a general Hamiltonian for the parametric amplification of spin-motion coupling that is broadly applicable to normal modes with motion transverse to or along the spatial extent of the crystal. Unlike in lower-dimensional crystals, we find that the ability to faithfully (uniformly) amplify the spin-spin interactions in 3D crystals depends on the physical implementation of the spin-motion coupling. We consider the light-shift gate, and the so-called phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates, and we find that only the phase-sensitive MS gate can be faithfully amplified in general 3D crystals. We discuss a situation where nonuniform amplification can be advantageous. We also reconsider the effect of counter-rotating terms on parametric amplification and find that they are not as detrimental as previous studies suggest.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-03-01T00:00:00Z","status":"public","month":"03","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","title":"Parametric amplification of spin-motion coupling in three-dimensional trapped-ion crystals","issue":"3","_id":"21449","year":"2026","oa_version":"Published Version"},{"date_created":"2026-02-01T23:01:43Z","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"intvolume":"     15752","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1611-3349"],"isbn":["9783032070340"],"issn":["0302-9743"]},"date_updated":"2026-04-15T08:45:18Z","OA_place":"repository","external_id":{"arxiv":["2505.14891"]},"corr_author":"1","publication":"29th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.14891"}],"citation":{"short":"M.A. Baig, K.Z.
