The manufacturing and processing of these materials have been widely explored with mechanical alignment establishing itself as a preferred method due to its ease of use and widespread applicability. However, the fundamental chemistry behind the required two‐step polymerization for mechanical alignment has limitations in both fabrication and substrate compatibility. In this work we introduce a new protection‐deprotection approach utilizing a two‐stage Diels–Alder cyclopentadiene‐maleimide step‐growth polymerization to enable mild yet efficient, fast, controlled, reproducible and user‐friendly polymerizations, broadening the scope of liquid crystal systems. Thorough characterization of the films by DSC, DMA, POM and WAXD show the successful synthesis of a uniaxially aligned liquid crystal network with thermomechanical actuation abilities."}],"intvolume":"        62","issue":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Jesus","full_name":"Guillen Campos, Jesus","last_name":"Guillen Campos"},{"id":"7aca2cfc-46cf-11f0-abd3-8c96b5186745","full_name":"Stricker, Friedrich J","first_name":"Friedrich J","last_name":"Stricker"},{"last_name":"Clark","first_name":"Kyle D.","full_name":"Clark, Kyle D."},{"full_name":"Park, Minwook","first_name":"Minwook","last_name":"Park"},{"last_name":"Bailey","first_name":"Sophia J.","full_name":"Bailey, Sophia J."},{"last_name":"Kuenstler","first_name":"Alexa S.","full_name":"Kuenstler, Alexa S."},{"first_name":"Ryan C.","full_name":"Hayward, Ryan C.","last_name":"Hayward"},{"last_name":"Read de Alaniz","first_name":"Javier","full_name":"Read de Alaniz, Javier"}],"date_published":"2023-01-02T00:00:00Z","year":"2023","status":"public","extern":"1","publication_status":"published","citation":{"apa":"Guillen Campos, J., Stricker, F.

Developing such synthetic systems, though not trivial, typically relies on orthogonal stimuli to enable control of molecular systems that enable multi-responsive behavior. Access to complex tunable reaction mechanisms with diverse energy landscapes offers an alternative strategy for controlling out-of-equilibrium processes without requiring orthogonal stimuli for each responsive unit. Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are a class of photoswitches that have complex, tunable, and environmentally sensitive reaction pathways. We present the control of donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct equilibrium and photoswitching kinetics through changes in the polarity of their environment. Polarity and light can be used to selectively control the pathway outcomes of three DASA derivatives where the orthogonal response comes from changes in the energy landscape and is not driven by their orthogonal response to the given stimuli.

Yet, several recent works have raised the issue that pruning may induce or exacerbate bias in the output of the compressed model. Despite existing evidence for this phenomenon, the relationship between neural network pruning and induced bias is not well-understood. In this work, we systematically investigate and characterize this phenomenon in Convolutional Neural Networks for computer vision. First, we show that it is in fact possible to obtain highly-sparse models, e.g. with less than 10% remaining weights, which do not decrease in accuracy nor substantially increase in bias when compared to dense models. At the same time, we also find that, at higher sparsities, pruned models exhibit higher uncertainty in their outputs, as well as increased correlations, which we directly link to increased bias. We propose easy-to-use criteria which, based only on the uncompressed model, establish whether bias will increase with pruning, and identify the samples most susceptible to biased predictions post-compression.

This material combination leads to spatial variations of the superconducting properties, which gives rise to Andreev bound states (ABSs). Some of these states might exhibit remarkable properties that render them highly desirable for topological quantum computing. The most prominent and hunted of such states are Majorana zero modes (MZMs), quasiparticles equals to their own quasiparticles that they follow non-abelian statistics. In this thesis, we first introduce the general framework of such hybrid systems and, then, we unveil a series of mesoscopic phenomena that we discovered. Firstly, we show tunneling spectroscopy experiments on full-shell nanowires (NWs) showing that unwanted quantum-dot states coupled to superconductors (Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states) can mimic MZMs signatures. Then, we introduce a novel protocol which allowed the integration of tunneling spectroscopy with Coulomb spectroscopy within the same device. Employing this approach on both full-shell NWs and partial-shell NWs, we demonstrated that longitudinally confined states reveal charge transport phenomenology similar to the one expected for MZMs. These findings shed light on the intricate interplay between superconductivity and quantum confinement, which brought us to explore another material platform, i.e. a two-dimensional Germanium hole gas. After developing a robust way to induce superconductivity in such system, we showed how to engineer the proximity effect and we revealed a superconducting hard gap. Finally, we created a superconducting radio frequency driven ideal diode and a generator of non-sinusoidal current-phase relations. Our results open the path for the exploration of protected superconducting qubits and more complex hybrid devices in planar Germanium, like Kitaev chains and hybrid qubit devices.","lang":"eng"}],"OA_place":"publisher","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/","author":[{"last_name":"Valentini","first_name":"Marco","id":"C0BB2FAC-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425","full_name":"Valentini, Marco"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication_status":"published","status":"public","date_published":"2023-07-21T00:00:00Z","year":"2023","file_date_updated":"2023-08-11T14:39:17Z","corr_author":"1","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"short":"M.

However, this approach increases both the footprint and the parasitic cross-coupling and is ultimately limited by radiation losses—a potential roadblock for scaling up quantum processors to millions of qubits. In this work we present transmon qubits with sizes as low as 36 × 39 µm2 with  100-nm-wide vacuum-gap capacitors that are micromachined from commercial silicon-on-insulator wafers and shadow evaporated with aluminum. We achieve a vacuum participation ratio up to 99.6% in an in-plane design that is compatible with standard coplanar circuits. Qubit relaxationtime measurements for small gaps with high zero-point electric field variance of up to 22 V/m reveal a double exponential decay indicating comparably strong qubit interaction with long-lived two-level systems. The exceptionally high selectivity of up to 20 dB to the superconductor-vacuum interface allows us to precisely back out the sub-single-photon dielectric loss tangent of aluminum oxide previously exposed to ambient conditions. In terms of future scaling potential, we achieve a ratio of qubit quality factor to a footprint area equal to 20 µm−2, which is comparable with the highest T1 devices relying on larger geometries, a value that could improve substantially for lower surface-loss superconductors.

During bacterial cell division, FtsZ—a prokaryotic homologue of the eukaryotic protein tubulin—polymerizes into treadmilling filaments that further organize into a cytoskeletal ring. In vitro, FtsZ filaments can form dynamic chiral assemblies. However, how the active and passive properties of individual filaments relate to these large-scale self-organized structures remains poorly understood. Here we connect single-filament properties with the mesoscopic scale by combining minimal active matter simulations and biochemical reconstitution experiments. We show that the density and flexibility of active chiral filaments define their global order. At intermediate densities, curved, flexible filaments organize into chiral rings and polar bands. An effectively nematic organization dominates for high densities and for straight, mutant filaments with increased rigidity. Our predicted phase diagram quantitatively captures these features, demonstrating how the flexibility, density and chirality of the active filaments affect their collective behaviour. Our findings shed light on the fundamental properties of active chiral matter and explain how treadmilling FtsZ filaments organize during bacterial cell division."}],"file":[{"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"bc7673ca07d37309013a86166577b2f7","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2023_NaturePhysics_Dunajova.pdf","file_size":22471673,"file_id":"14916","success":1,"date_created":"2024-01-30T14:28:30Z","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2024-01-30T14:28:30Z"}],"oa":1,"publisher":"Springer Nature","ec_funded":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"id":"4B39F286-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Dunajova, Zuzana","first_name":"Zuzana","last_name":"Dunajova"},{"last_name":"Prats Mateu","id":"299FE892-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Prats Mateu, Batirtze","first_name":"Batirtze"},{"id":"40136C2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-9198-2182 ","full_name":"Radler, Philipp","first_name":"Philipp","last_name":"Radler"},{"first_name":"Keesiang","full_name":"Lim, Keesiang","last_name":"Lim"},{"last_name":"Brandis","full_name":"Brandis, Dörte","id":"21d64d35-f128-11eb-9611-b8bcca7a12fd","first_name":"Dörte"},{"full_name":"Velicky, Philipp","orcid":"0000-0002-2340-7431","id":"39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Philipp","last_name":"Velicky"},{"first_name":"Johann G","orcid":"0000-0001-8559-3973","full_name":"Danzl, Johann G","id":"42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Danzl"},{"last_name":"Wong","full_name":"Wong, Richard W.","first_name":"Richard W."},{"last_name":"Elgeti","first_name":"Jens","full_name":"Elgeti, Jens"},{"first_name":"Edouard B","orcid":"0000-0001-6005-1561","full_name":"Hannezo, Edouard B","id":"3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Hannezo"},{"first_name":"Martin","full_name":"Loose, Martin","orcid":"0000-0001-7309-9724","id":"462D4284-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Loose"}],"intvolume":"        19","external_id":{"isi":["001178645300041"],"pmid":["38075437"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2024-01-30T14:28:30Z","citation":{"mla":"Dunajova, Zuzana, et al. “Chiral and Nematic Phases of Flexible Active Filaments.” <i>Nature Physics</i>, vol. 19, Springer Nature, 2023, pp. 1916–26, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-023-02218-w\">10.1038/s41567-023-02218-w</a>.","ama":"Dunajova Z, Prats Mateu B, Radler P, et al.

However, their fundamental limits, the performance of gradient methods and the features learnt during optimization remain poorly understood, even in the two-layer setting. In fact, earlier work has considered either linear autoencoders or specific training regimes (leading to vanishing or diverging compression rates). Our paper addresses this gap by focusing on non-linear two-layer autoencoders trained in the challenging proportional regime in which the input dimension scales linearly with the size of the representation. Our results characterize the minimizers of the population risk, and show that such minimizers are achieved by gradient methods; their structure is also unveiled, thus leading to a concise description of the features obtained via training. For the special case of a sign activation function, our analysis establishes the fundamental limits for the lossy compression of Gaussian sources via (shallow) autoencoders. Finally, while the results are proved for Gaussian data, numerical simulations on standard datasets display the universality of the theoretical predictions.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"ML Research Press","acknowledgement":"Aleksandr Shevchenko, Kevin Kogler and Marco Mondelli are supported by the 2019 Lopez-Loreta Prize.

This thesis argues that there are benefits to treating these problems in the same domain as human designers, namely, the parametric one. One reason is that discretizing a parametric model usually removes the capability of making further manual changes to the design, because the human intent is captured by the shape parameters. Beyond this, knowledge about a design problem can sometimes reveal a structure that is present in a smooth representation, but is fundamentally altered by discretizing. In this case, working in the parametric domain may even simplify the optimization task. We present two lines of research that explore both of these aspects of fabrication-aware shape optimization on parametric representations.\r\n\r\nThe first project studies the design of plane elastic curves and Kirchhoff rods, which are common mathematical models for describing the deformation of thin elastic rods such as beams, ribbons, cables, and hair. Our main contribution is a characterization of all curved shapes that can be attained by bending and twisting elastic rods having a stiffness that is allowed to vary across the length. Elements like these can be manufactured using digital fabrication devices such as 3d printers and digital cutters, and have applications in free-form architecture and soft robotics.\r\n\r\nWe show that the family of curved shapes that can be produced this way admits geometric description that is concise and computationally convenient. In the case of plane curves, the geometric description is intuitive enough to allow a designer to determine whether a curved shape is physically achievable by visual inspection alone. We also present shape optimization algorithms that convert a user-defined curve in the plane or in three dimensions into the geometry of an elastic rod that will naturally deform to follow this curve when its endpoints are attached to a support structure. Implemented in an interactive software design tool, the rod geometry is generated in real time as the user edits a curve and enables fast prototyping. \r\n\r\nThe second project tackles the problem of general-purpose shape optimization on CAD models using a novel variant of the extended finite element method (XFEM). Our goal is the decoupling between the simulation mesh and the CAD model, so no geometry-dependent meshing or remeshing needs to be performed when the CAD parameters change during optimization. This is achieved by discretizing the embedding space of the CAD model, and using a new high-accuracy numerical integration method to enable XFEM on free-form elements bounded by the parametric surface patches of the model. Our simulation is differentiable from the CAD parameters to the simulation output, which enables us to use off-the-shelf gradient-based optimization procedures. The result is a method that fits seamlessly into the CAD workflow because it works on the same representation as the designer, enabling the alternation of manual editing and fabrication-aware optimization at will."}],"file":[{"embargo":"2023-12-07","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2023-12-08T23:30:04Z","file_id":"12942","date_created":"2023-05-11T10:43:20Z","creator":"chafner","file_name":"thesis-hafner-2023may11-a2b.pdf","file_size":50714445,"content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","checksum":"cc2094e92fa27000b70eb4bfb76d6b5a"},{"date_updated":"2023-12-08T23:30:04Z","access_level":"closed","file_id":"12943","date_created":"2023-05-11T10:43:44Z","file_name":"thesis-release-form.pdf","file_size":265319,"creator":"chafner","embargo_to":"open_access","checksum":"a6b51334be2b81672357b1549afab40c","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"source_file"}],"oa":1,"date_updated":"2025-04-15T07:16:15Z","user_id":"400429CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Inverse shape design with parametric representations: Kirchhoff Rods and parametric surface models","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"9817","status":"public"},{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"13188","status":"public"},{"id":"7117","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"}]},"date_created":"2023-05-05T10:40:14Z","project":[{"_id":"24F9549A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"715767","name":"MATERIALIZABLE: Intelligent fabrication-oriented Computational Design and Modeling","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"_id":"12897","supervisor":[{"id":"49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Bickel, Bernd","orcid":"0000-0001-6511-9385","first_name":"Bernd","last_name":"Bickel"}],"doi":"10.15479/at:ista:12897","day":"05","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"],"isbn":["978-3-99078-031-2"]},"degree_awarded":"PhD","article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"BeBi"}],"page":"180","ddc":["516","004","518","531"],"type":"dissertation","month":"05","oa_version":"Published Version"},{"acknowledgement":"We thank the anonymous reviewers for their generous feedback, and Julian Fischer for his help in proving Proposition 1.

It provides structural scaffolding for the cells embedded within it and is essential in regulating numerous physiological processes, including cell migration and proliferation, wound healing, and stem cell fate. \r\nDespite extensive study, detailed structural knowledge of ECM components in physiologically relevant conditions is still rudimentary. This is due to methodological limitations in specimen preparation protocols which are incompatible with keeping large samples, such as the ECM, in their native state for subsequent imaging. Conventional electron microscopy (EM) techniques rely on fixation, dehydration, contrasting, and sectioning. This results in the alteration of a highly hydrated environment and the potential introduction of artifacts. Other structural biology techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, allow high-resolution analysis of protein structures but only work on homogenous and purified samples, hence lacking contextual information. Currently, no approach exists for the ultrastructural and structural study of extracellular components under native conditions in a physiological, 3D environment. \r\nIn this thesis, I have developed a workflow that allows for the ultrastructural analysis of the ECM in near-native conditions at molecular resolution. The developments I introduced include implementing a novel specimen preparation workflow for cell-derived matrices (CDMs) to render them compatible with ion-beam milling and subsequent high-resolution cryo-electron tomography (ET). \r\nTo this end, I have established protocols to generate CDMs grown over several weeks on EM grids that are compatible with downstream cryo-EM sample preparation and imaging techniques. Characterization of these ECMs confirmed that they contain essential ECM components such as collagen I, collagen VI, and fibronectin I in high abundance and hence represent a bona fide biologically-relevant sample. I successfully optimized vitrification of these specimens by testing various vitrification techniques and cryoprotectants. \r\nIn order to obtain high-resolution molecular insights into the ultrastructure and organization of CDMs, I established cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIBSEM) on these challenging and complex specimens. I explored different approaches for the creation of thin cryo-lamellae by FIB milling and succeeded in optimizing the cryo-lift-out technique, resulting in high-quality lamellae of approximately 200 nm thickness. \r\nHigh-resolution Cryo-ET of these lamellae revealed for the first time the architecture of native CDM in the context of matrix-secreting cells. This allowed for the in situ visualization of fibrillar matrix proteins such as collagen, laying the foundation for future structural and ultrastructural characterization of these proteins in their near-native environment. \r\nIn summary, in this thesis, I present a novel workflow that combines state-of-the-art cryo-EM specimen preparation and imaging technologies to permit characterization of the ECM, an important tissue component in higher organisms. This innovative and highly versatile workflow will enable addressing far-reaching questions on ECM architecture, composition, and reciprocal ECM-cell interactions."}],"OA_place":"publisher","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","date_updated":"2026-04-07T13:49:23Z","date_created":"2023-02-02T14:50:20Z","keyword":["cryo-EM","cryo-ET","FIB milling","method development","FIBSEM","extracellular matrix","ECM","cell-derived matrices","CDMs","cell culture","high pressure freezing","HPF","structural biology","tomography","collagen"],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"8586","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"}]},"title":"Ultrastructural characterization of natively preserved extracellular matrix by cryo-electron tomography","supervisor":[{"first_name":"Florian KM","id":"48AD8942-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-4790-8078","full_name":"Schur, Florian KM","last_name":"Schur"}],"project":[{"name":"Integrated visual proteomics of reciprocal cell-extracellular matrix interactions","_id":"eba3b5f6-77a9-11ec-83b8-cf0905748aa3"},{"name":"NÃ-Fonds Preis fÃ¼r die Jungforscherin des Jahres am IST Austria","_id":"059B463C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E"}],"_id":"12491","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-3-99078-027-5"],"issn":["2663-337X"]},"day":"02","doi":"10.15479/at:ista:12491","degree_awarded":"PhD","article_processing_charge":"No","ddc":["570"],"page":"187","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"FlSc"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","month":"02","type":"dissertation"},{"author":[{"last_name":"Franschitz","first_name":"Anna","full_name":"Franschitz, Anna","id":"480826C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","year":"2023","date_published":"2023-08-08T00:00:00Z","status":"public","publication_status":"published","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"ista":"Franschitz A. 2023.

These social defenses are well explored against\r\nexternally-infecting pathogens, but little is known about defense strategies against\r\ninternally-infecting pathogens, such as viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous and in the last decades\r\nit has become evident that also many ant species harbor viruses. We present one of the first\r\nstudies addressing transmission dynamics and collective disease defenses against viruses in\r\nants on a mechanistic level. I successfully established an experimental ant host – viral\r\npathogen system as a model for the defense strategies used by social insects against internal\r\npathogen infections, as outlined in the third chapter. In particular, we studied how garden ants\r\n(Lasius neglectus) defend themselves and their colonies against the generalist insect virus\r\nCrPV (cricket paralysis virus). We chose microinjections of virus directly into the ants’\r\nhemolymph because it allowed us to use a defined exposure dose. Here we show that this is a\r\ngood model system, as the virus is replicating and thus infecting the host. The ants mount a\r\nclear individual immune response against the viral infection, which is characterized by a\r\nspecific siRNA pattern, namely siRNAs mapping against the viral genome with a peak of 21\r\nand 22 bp long fragments. The onset of this immune response is consistent with the timeline\r\nof viral replication that starts already within two days post injection. The disease manifests in\r\ndecreased survival over a course of two to three weeks.\r\nRegarding group living, we find that infected ants show a strong individual immune response,\r\nbut that their course of disease is little affected by nestmate presence, as described in chapter\r\nfour. Hence, we do not find social immunity in the context of viral infections in ants.\r\nNestmates, however, can contract the virus. Using Drosophila S2R+ cells in culture, we\r\nshowed that 94 % of the nestmates contract active virus within four days of social contact to\r\nan infected individual. Virus is transmitted in low doses, thus not causing disease\r\ntransmission within the colony. While virus can be transmitted during short direct contacts,\r\nwe also assume transmission from deceased ants and show that the nestmates’ immune\r\nsystem gets activated after contracting a low viral dose. We find considerable potential for\r\nindirect transmission via the nest space. Virus is shed to the nest, where it stays viable for one\r\nweek and is also picked up by other ants. Apart from that, we want to underline the potential\r\nof ant poison as antiviral agent. We determined that ant poison successfully inactivates CrPV\r\nin vitro. However, we found no evidence for effective poison use to sanitize the nest space.\r\nOn the other hand, local application of ant poison by oral poison uptake, which is part of the\r\nants prophylactic behavioral repertoire, probably contributes to keeping the gut of each\r\nindividual sanitized. We hypothesize that oral poison uptake might be the reason why we did\r\nnot find viable virus in the trophallactic fluid.\r\nThe fifth chapter encompasses preliminary data on potential social immunization. However,\r\nour experiments do not confirm an actual survival benefit for the nestmates upon pathogen\r\nchallenge under the given experimental settings. Nevertheless, we do not want to rule out the\r\npossibility for nestmate immunization, but rather emphasize that considering different\r\nexperimental timelines and viral doses would provide a multitude of options for follow-up\r\nexperiments.\r\nIn conclusion, we find that prophylactic individual behaviors, such as oral poison uptake,\r\nmight play a role in preventing viral disease transmission. Compared to colony defense\r\nagainst external pathogens, internal pathogen infections require a stronger component of\r\nindividual physiological immunity than behavioral social immunity, yet could still lead to\r\ncollective protection."}],"file":[{"embargo_to":"open_access","checksum":"55c876b73d49db15228a7f571592ec77","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"Print_Version_Franschitz_Anna_Thesis.pdf","file_size":10416761,"creator":"cchlebak","file_id":"15044","date_created":"2024-03-01T08:56:06Z","title":"Combined Version of original Thesis and Addendum","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2024-10-29T23:31:04Z"},{"embargo":"2024-08-08","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2024-08-09T22:30:03Z","file_id":"13986","date_created":"2023-08-08T18:01:28Z","creator":"afransch","file_name":"Thesis_AnnaFranschitz_202308.pdf","file_size":10797612,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"27220243d5d51c3b0d7d61c0879d7a0c"},{"date_created":"2023-08-08T18:02:25Z","file_id":"13987","access_level":"closed","date_updated":"2024-08-09T22:30:03Z","embargo_to":"open_access","checksum":"40abf7ccca14a3893f72dc7fb88585d6","relation":"source_file","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","file_name":"Thesis_AnnaFranschitz_202308.docx","file_size":2619085,"creator":"afransch"},{"title":"Addendum","file_id":"15042","date_created":"2024-03-01T08:37:15Z","embargo":"2024-08-08","date_updated":"2024-10-29T23:31:04Z","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"8b991ecc2d59d045cc3cf0d676785ec7","description":"Minor modifications and clarifications - Feb 2024","creator":"cchlebak","file_size":85956,"file_name":"Addendum_AnnaFranschitz202402.pdf"},{"creator":"cchlebak","file_size":11818,"file_name":"Addendum_AnnaFranschitz202402.docx","relation":"source_file","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","checksum":"66745aa01f960f17472c024875c049ed","embargo_to":"open_access","access_level":"closed","date_updated":"2024-08-09T22:30:03Z","title":"Addendum - source file","file_id":"15043","date_created":"2024-03-01T08:39:20Z"}],"OA_place":"publisher","degree_awarded":"PhD","_id":"13984","supervisor":[{"first_name":"Sylvia","orcid":"0000-0002-2193-3868","full_name":"Cremer, Sylvia","id":"2F64EC8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Cremer"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-3-99078-034-3"],"issn":["2663-337X"]},"doi":"10.15479/at:ista:13984","day":"08","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"dissertation","month":"08","article_processing_charge":"No","ddc":["570","577"],"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"SyCr"}],"page":"89"},{"tmp":{"short":"CC BY-NC-SA (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_sa.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode"},"doi":"10.15479/at:ista:12964","day":"17","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"],"isbn":["978-3-99078-032-9"]},"supervisor":[{"last_name":"Hannezo","orcid":"0000-0001-6005-1561","full_name":"Hannezo, Edouard B","id":"3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Edouard B"}],"_id":"12964","project":[{"name":"International IST Doctoral Program","grant_number":"665385","_id":"2564DBCA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","page":"146","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"EdHa"}],"ddc":["530"],"article_processing_charge":"No","month":"05","type":"dissertation","oa_version":"Published Version","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2024-05-18T22:30:03Z","corr_author":"1","citation":{"ista":"Boocock DR. 2023.

During developmental processes for example, patterns of chemical gradients are\r\nestablished to determine cell fate and complex tissue patterns emerge to define structures such\r\nas limbs and vascular networks. Patterns are also seen in collectively migrating groups, for\r\ninstance traveling waves of density emerging in moving animal flocks as well as collectively migrating cells and tissues. To what extent these biological patterns arise spontaneously through\r\nthe local interaction of individual constituents or are dictated by higher level instructions is\r\nstill an open question however there is evidence for the involvement of both types of process.\r\nWhere patterns arise spontaneously there is a long standing interest in how far the interplay\r\nof mechanics, e.g. force generation and deformation, and chemistry, e.g. gene regulation\r\nand signaling, contributes to the behaviour. This is because many systems are able to both\r\nchemically regulate mechanical force production and chemically sense mechanical deformation,\r\nforming mechano-chemical feedback loops which can potentially become unstable towards\r\nspatio and/or temporal patterning.\r\nWe work with experimental collaborators to investigate the possibility that this type of\r\ninteraction drives pattern formation in biological systems at different scales. We focus first on\r\ntissue-level ERK-density waves observed during the wound healing response across different\r\nsystems where many previous studies have proposed that patterns depend on polarized cell\r\nmigration and arise from a mechanical flocking-like mechanism. By combining theory with\r\nmechanical and optogenetic perturbation experiments on in vitro monolayers we instead find\r\nevidence for mechanochemical pattern formation involving only scalar bilateral feedbacks\r\nbetween ERK signaling and cell contraction. We perform further modeling and experiment\r\nto study how this instability couples with polar cell migration in order to produce a robust\r\nand efficient wound healing response. In a following chapter we implement ERK-density\r\ncoupling and cell migration in a 2D active vertex model to investigate the interaction of\r\nERK-density patterning with different tissue rheologies and find that the spatio-temporal\r\ndynamics are able to both locally and globally fluidize a tissue across the solid-fluid glass\r\ntransition. In a last chapter we move towards lower spatial scales in the context of subcellular\r\npatterning of the cell cytoskeleton where we investigate the transition between phases of\r\nspatially homogeneous temporal oscillations and chaotic spatio-temporal patterning in the\r\ndynamics of myosin and ROCK activities (a motor component of the actomyosin cytoskeleton\r\nand its activator). Experimental evidence supports an intrinsic chemical oscillator which we\r\nencode in a reaction model and couple to a contractile active gel description of the cell cortex.\r\nThe model exhibits phases of chemical oscillations and contractile spatial patterning which\r\nreproduce many features of the dynamics seen in Drosophila oocyte epithelia in vivo. However,\r\nadditional pharmacological perturbations to inhibit myosin contractility leaves the role of\r\ncontractile instability unclear. We discuss alternative hypotheses and investigate the possibility\r\nof reaction-diffusion instability."}],"oa":1,"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","ec_funded":1,"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"8602","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"}]},"title":"Mechanochemical pattern formation across biological scales","date_created":"2023-05-15T14:52:36Z","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","date_updated":"2026-04-07T13:52:57Z"},{"ddc":["610"],"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"TiVo"}],"page":"148","article_processing_charge":"No","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"dissertation","month":"10","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY-NC-SA (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_sa.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode"},"day":"12","doi":"10.15479/at:ista:14422","_id":"14422","project":[{"grant_number":"819603","name":"Learning the shape of synaptic plasticity rules for neuronal architectures and function through machine learning.","_id":"0aacfa84-070f-11eb-9043-d7eb2c709234","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"supervisor":[{"full_name":"Vogels, Tim P","orcid":"0000-0003-3295-6181","id":"CB6FF8D2-008F-11EA-8E08-2637E6697425","first_name":"Tim P","last_name":"Vogels"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","oa":1,"OA_place":"publisher","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Animals exhibit a remarkable ability to learn and remember new behaviors, skills, and associations throughout their lifetime. These capabilities are made possible thanks to a variety of\r\nchanges in the brain throughout adulthood, regrouped under the term \"plasticity\". Some cells\r\nin the brain —neurons— and specifically changes in the connections between neurons, the\r\nsynapses, were shown to be crucial for the formation, selection, and consolidation of memories\r\nfrom past experiences. These ongoing changes of synapses across time are called synaptic\r\nplasticity. Understanding how a myriad of biochemical processes operating at individual\r\nsynapses can somehow work in concert to give rise to meaningful changes in behavior is a\r\nfascinating problem and an active area of research.\r\nHowever, the experimental search for the precise plasticity mechanisms at play in the brain\r\nis daunting, as it is difficult to control and observe synapses during learning. Theoretical\r\napproaches have thus been the default method to probe the plasticity-behavior connection. Such\r\nstudies attempt to extract unifying principles across synapses and model all observed synaptic\r\nchanges using plasticity rules: equations that govern the evolution of synaptic strengths across\r\ntime in neuronal network models. These rules can use many relevant quantities to determine\r\nthe magnitude of synaptic changes, such as the precise timings of pre- and postsynaptic\r\naction potentials, the recent neuronal activity levels, the state of neighboring synapses, etc.\r\nHowever, analytical studies rely heavily on human intuition and are forced to make simplifying\r\nassumptions about plasticity rules.\r\nIn this thesis, we aim to assist and augment human intuition in this search for plasticity rules.\r\nWe explore whether a numerical approach could automatically discover the plasticity rules\r\nthat elicit desired behaviors in large networks of interconnected neurons. This approach is\r\ndubbed meta-learning synaptic plasticity: learning plasticity rules which themselves will make\r\nneuronal networks learn how to solve a desired task. We first write all the potential plasticity\r\nmechanisms to consider using a single expression with adjustable parameters. We then optimize\r\nthese plasticity parameters using evolutionary strategies or Bayesian inference on tasks known\r\nto involve synaptic plasticity, such as familiarity detection and network stabilization.\r\nWe show that these automated approaches are powerful tools, able to complement established\r\nanalytical methods. By comprehensively screening plasticity rules at all synapse types in\r\nrealistic, spiking neuronal network models, we discover entire sets of degenerate plausible\r\nplasticity rules that reliably elicit memory-related behaviors. Our approaches allow for more\r\nrobust experimental predictions, by abstracting out the idiosyncrasies of individual plasticity\r\nrules, and provide fresh insights on synaptic plasticity in spiking network models.\r\n"}],"file":[{"date_created":"2023-10-12T14:53:50Z","file_id":"14424","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2024-10-13T22:30:04Z","embargo":"2024-10-12","checksum":"7f636555eae7803323df287672fd13ed","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","file_name":"Confavreux_Thesis_2A.pdf","file_size":30599717,"creator":"cchlebak"},{"file_name":"Confavreux Thesis.zip","file_size":68406739,"creator":"cchlebak","checksum":"725e85946db92290a4583a0de9779e1b","embargo_to":"open_access","relation":"source_file","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed","access_level":"closed","date_updated":"2024-10-13T22:30:04Z","date_created":"2023-10-18T07:38:34Z","file_id":"14440"}],"ec_funded":1,"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","date_created":"2023-10-12T14:13:25Z","title":"Synapseek: Meta-learning synaptic plasticity rules","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"9633","status":"public"}]},"date_updated":"2026-04-07T13:53:13Z","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2023-10-12T00:00:00Z","year":"2023","status":"public","publication_status":"published","corr_author":"1","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"short":"B.J.

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

For instance, embryonic\r\nstem cell cultures can recapitulate the hallmarks of gastrulation, i.e. break symmetry\r\nleading to germ layer formation and morphogenesis, in a very reduced environment.\r\nThis leads to questions on specific contributions of embryo-specific features, such as\r\nthe presence of extraembryonic tissues, which are inherently involved in gastrulation\r\nin the full embryonic context. To address this, we established zebrafish embryonic\r\nexplants without the extraembryonic yolk cell, an important player as a signaling\r\nsource and for morphogenesis during gastrulation, as a model of ex vivo development.\r\nWe found that dorsal-marginal determinants are required and sufficient in these\r\nexplants to form and pattern all three germ layers. However, formation of tissues,\r\nwhich require the highest Nodal-signaling levels, is variable, demonstrating a\r\ncontribution of extraembryonic tissues for reaching peak Nodal signaling levels.\r\nBlastoderm explants also undergo gastrulation-like axis elongation. We found that this\r\nelongation movement shows hallmarks of oriented mesendoderm cell intercalations\r\ntypically associated with dorsal tissues in the intact embryo. These are disrupted by\r\nuniform upregulation of BMP signaling activity and concomitant explant ventralization,\r\nsuggesting that tight spatial control of BMP signaling is a prerequisite for explant\r\nmorphogenesis. This control is achieved by Nodal signaling, which is critical for\r\neffectively downregulating BMP signaling in the mesendoderm, highlighting that Nodal\r\nsignaling is not only directly required for mesendoderm cell fate specification and\r\nmorphogenesis, but also by maintaining low levels of BMP signaling at the dorsal side.\r\nCollectively, we provide insights into the capacity and organization of signaling and\r\nmorphogenetic domains to recapitulate features of zebrafish gastrulation outside of\r\nthe full embryonic context.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","date_created":"2023-05-05T08:48:20Z","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"7888"},{"status":"public","id":"8966","relation":"part_of_dissertation"}]},"title":"Mesendoderm formation in zebrafish gastrulation: The role of extraembryonic tissues","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2025-06-12T06:56:58Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"status":"public","publication_status":"published","year":"2023","date_published":"2023-05-05T00:00:00Z","file_date_updated":"2024-05-06T22:30:03Z","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"corr_author":"1","citation":{"mla":"Schauer, Alexandra. <i>Mesendoderm Formation in Zebrafish Gastrulation: The Role of Extraembryonic Tissues</i>.

Using a novel statistical estimator and theoretical modeling, both developed in the framework of maximum entropy models, we reveal highly structured CA1 cell-cell interactions in male rats during open field exploration. The statistics of these interactions depend on whether the animal is in a familiar or novel environment. In both conditions the circuit interactions optimize the encoding of spatial information, but for regimes that differ in the informativeness of their spatial inputs. This structure facilitates linear decodability, making the information easy to read out by downstream circuits. Overall, our findings suggest that the efficient coding hypothesis is not only applicable to individual neuron properties in the sensory periphery, but also to neural interactions in the central brain."}],"issue":"48","intvolume":"        43","author":[{"last_name":"Nardin","orcid":"0000-0001-8849-6570","full_name":"Nardin, Michele","id":"30BD0376-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michele"},{"last_name":"Csicsvari","full_name":"Csicsvari, Jozsef L","orcid":"0000-0002-5193-4036","id":"3FA14672-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Jozsef L"},{"last_name":"Tkačik","full_name":"Tkačik, Gašper","id":"3D494DCA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6699-1455","first_name":"Gašper"},{"last_name":"Savin","full_name":"Savin, Cristina","id":"3933349E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Cristina"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","publication_status":"published","year":"2023","date_published":"2023-11-29T00:00:00Z","citation":{"chicago":"Nardin, Michele, Jozsef L Csicsvari, Gašper Tkačik, and Cristina Savin. “The Structure of Hippocampal CA1 Interactions Optimizes Spatial Coding across Experience.” <i>The Journal of Neuroscience</i>.
