The evolutionary success of these populations is fundamentally dictated by the organization of genetic variation—the genomic architecture—in the face of severe demographic constraints, such as the founder effects and genetic bottlenecks that frequently accompany colonization. A central question in evolutionary biology is whether rapid adaptation relies on major-effect loci, such as chromosomal inversions, or on many small-effect loci dispersed across the genome. Furthermore, the genomic architecture strongly influences the extent to which evolutionary outcomes are predictable. Using introduced populations of the marine snail, Littorina saxatilis, as a model, this thesis investigates how genetic variation and genomic structure drive adaptation following introduction. We employed a population genomics approach on experimentally and accidentally introduced populations to dissect the specific genomic features that underpin divergence in newly colonized environments.\r\n\r\nIn Chapter 2, we tested the predictability of local adaptation through an uncommon 30-year transplant experiment in nature. By distinguishing allele and chromosomal inversion frequency changes from neutral expectations, we found that evolutionary change was highly predictable at the macro-scale (phenotypes and chromosomal inversions), but less robust at the level of individual collinear loci. This result demonstrates that evolution can be predictable when a population possesses sufficient standing genetic variation (SGV), with chromosomal inversions acting as key integrated units that facilitate a rapid response to selection. Building on this, Chapter 3 applied whole-genome sequencing to three accidentally introduced populations (Venice, San Francisco, and Redwood City) to investigate their likely source and genomic patterns of divergence. We identified genomic regions of remarkable divergence potentially associated with local adaptation, and likely fuelled by SGV, while explicitly acknowledging the difficulty in disentangling selection signals from the genome-wide effects of demographic processes. Furthermore, we found that the divergence patterns relied extensively on the collinear genome in these introduced populations, and less clearly on the chromosomal inversions. This observation contrasts with local adaptation observed in the experimental system that relied on both collinear loci and highly selected chromosomal inversions, highlighting how demographic history and genomic architecture influence the detectable signature of local adaptation.\r\n\r\nA major limitation to conducting large-scale comparative evolutionary studies is the lack of data standardization, which prevents the integration of community knowledge and high-resolution environmental and genetic data. Chapter 4 addresses this by developing a community database for the Littorina system. This platform implements standardized protocols for the integration of diverse phenotypic and environmental data from multiple Littorina species. Likewise, the platform also centralizes the availability of associated genomic data through links to external repositories. This database represents a crucial tool to test complex, large-scale evolutionary hypotheses.\r\n\r\nCollectively, this thesis strongly reinforces the fundamental importance of SGV as the raw material for successful local adaptation, a conclusion supported by evidence in both experimental and accidental introductions. Furthermore, this work highlights the critical role of the genomic architecture—specifically chromosomal inversions—in driving the predictability and effectiveness of adaptive responses. Our findings underscore how the interplay between SGV and genomic architecture dictates the trajectory and detectability of evolution in colonizing populations, while simultaneously providing a necessary tool to advance comparative evolutionary genomics in emerging model organisms."}],"doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-20991","acknowledgement":"I acknowledge the funding agencies 1Norwegian Research Council RCN project 315287.\r\n2The FIASCO project \"Illuminating range shifts through evolutionary FIASCO: contrasting\r\nFaIling And Successful ColOnizations in replicated wild populations\", funded by the\r\nEuropean Union - Next Generation EU (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza - MUR\r\ncode: P202229JBC, CUP: C53D23007100001). 3Ecotypic formation in Littorina saxatilis\r\nin the Western Atlantic and comparisons across the North Atlantic.

Despite its ubiquity, the microscopic origin of CE remains unclear. In this thesis, we investigate CE from three complementary perspectives: developing a quantitative method to measure charge at the nanoscale, exploring the dynamic behavior of charge on insulating surfaces, and uncovering the role of mechanical history in forming a triboelectric series.\r\n\r\nIn the first part, we establish a rigorous framework for converting qualitative Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) voltage maps into quantitative charge density distributions. Using finite element method (FEM) simulations, we determine the point-spread function of the KPFM tip–sample geometry and demonstrate that the true surface charge can be reconstructed by numerical deconvolution. This procedure enables the recovery of both the magnitude and sign of charge density with high fidelity, resolving nanoscale features that are otherwise obscured. Applying the method to contact-charged SiO$_2$ surfaces, we show that existing analytical approximations, such as parallel plate or spherical models, can miscalculate charge magnitude by orders of magnitude. Our hybrid FEM/KPFM approach therefore provides a fast and general method to convert qualitative KPFM signals into quantitative charge data, enabling nanoscale charge mapping under realistic experimental conditions.\r\n\r\nIn the second part, we study the temporal stability of CE-induced charges and identify the key material factors that determine whether KPFM can capture meaningful charge patterns. Through time-resolved experiments combining a custom-built transfer system with both microscopic and macroscopic measurements, we demonstrate that only the best insulators, such as SiO$_2$, preserve CE charge long enough for stationary imaging. For less conductive polymers, such as PDMS, charge decays within the duration of a single KPFM scan due to bulk conduction. Using a simple capacitor-based model, we reproduce the observed decay dynamics and confirm that the transferred charge decays characteristic to the sample's bulk conductivity. Further, we always observe homogeneous charge transfer.\r\n\r\nIn the third part, we address the question: can we form a triboelectric series with identical materials? Using controlled repetitive contact experiments, we show that nominally identical materials can progressively order themselves into a triboelectric series, where surfaces with more contact history charge negatively relative to fresher ones. By constructing a minimal model based on this ``contact bias'', we replicate the evolution from random to ordered charging observed in experiments. Supporting surface analyses, including atomic force microscopy, reveal that repeated contact induces nanoscale morphological changes, suggesting a mechanism tightly coupled to mechanical strain. These results highlight the crucial role of surface history and nanoscale mechanics in dictating charge transfer, motivating further exploration of mechanisms such as mechanochemical bond cleavage and flexoelectric polarization."}],"file":[{"checksum":"0a4f5a941c40b921447e72291d72bc6f","file_size":31192621,"file_id":"22690","creator":"fpertl","relation":"source_file","file_name":"2026_Pertl_Felix_Thesis.zip","date_created":"2026-08-12T13:04:21Z","date_updated":"2026-08-12T13:04:21Z","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed","access_level":"closed"},{"date_created":"2026-08-12T13:04:21Z","date_updated":"2026-08-12T13:04:21Z","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_Pertl_Felix_Thesis.pdf","creator":"fpertl","checksum":"ae60dcdb363222138886b2857643d4e3","file_id":"22691","file_size":27882509}],"project":[{"_id":"0aa60e99-070f-11eb-9043-a6de6bdc3afa","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"949120","name":"Tribocharge: a multi-scale approach to an enduring problem in physics"}]},{"volume":31,"abstract":[{"text":"We prove that the zero-fiber of the moment map of a totally negative quiver has rational singularities. Our proof consists in generalizing dimension bounds on jet spaces of this fiber, which were introduced by Budur. We also transfer the rational singularities property to other moduli spaces of objects in 2-Calabi-Yau categories, based on recent work of Davison. This has interesting arithmetic applications on quiver moment maps and moduli spaces of objects in 2-Calabi-Yau categories. First, we generalize results of Wyss on the asymptotic behaviour of counts of jets of quiver moment maps over finite fields. Moreover, we interpret the limit of counts of jets on a given moduli space as its p-adic volume under a canonical measure analogous to the measure built by Carocci, Orecchia and Wyss on certain moduli spaces of coherent sheaves.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00031-024-09873-0","file":[{"creator":"dernst","file_size":912029,"file_id":"22385","checksum":"8985b4154b730284d3412ddc9e55d965","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2026-07-23T05:50:09Z","success":1,"date_created":"2026-07-23T05:50:09Z","file_name":"2026_TransformationGroups_Vernet.pdf","relation":"main_file"}],"project":[{"grant_number":"101034413","name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"ddc":["510"],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1083-4362"],"eissn":["1531-586X"]},"month":"03","PlanS_conform":"1","title":"Rational singularities for moment maps of totally negative quivers","OA_place":"publisher","isi":1,"publication_status":"published","corr_author":"1","external_id":{"isi":["001287455300001"]},"mathsc":["14B05","14D23","14G20","16G20"],"supplementarymaterial":"no","OA_type":"hybrid","date_created":"2024-08-18T22:01:04Z","author":[{"full_name":"Vernet, Tanguy","id":"19f1e3bf-c59a-11ee-a1af-ed269948817b","first_name":"Tanguy","last_name":"Vernet"}],"date_updated":"2026-10-21T10:55:21Z","intvolume":"        31","department":[{"_id":"TaHa"}],"page":"1047-1083","publisher":"Springer Nature","acknowledgement":"I would like to warmly thank Dimitri Wyss for his guidance and supervision and Nero Budur for helpful discussions and answering all my questions on his previous works.

Deciding whether an input hypergraph admits LO k-colouring with a fixed number of colours is NP-complete (and in the special case of graphs, LO colouring coincides with the usual graph colouring).\r\nHere, we investigate the complexity of approximating the “linearly ordered chromatic number” of a hypergraph. We prove that the following promise problem is NP-complete: Given a 3-uniform hypergraph, distinguish between the case that it is LO 3-colourable, and the case that it is not even LO 4-colourable. We prove this result by a combination of algebraic, topological, and combinatorial methods, building on and extending a topological approach for studying approximate graph colouring introduced by Krokhin, Opršal, Wrochna, and Živný (2023).","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"checksum":"0399ab94085878fc810084845eabd627","file_size":941518,"file_id":"22252","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_TransactionsGraphics_Filakovsky.pdf","date_updated":"2026-07-06T09:03:02Z","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-07-06T09:03:02Z","success":1,"access_level":"open_access"}],"project":[{"name":"Algorithms for Embeddings and Homotopy Theory","grant_number":"P31312","call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"26611F5C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","grant_number":"101034413","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c"}],"ddc":["500"],"arxiv":1,"title":"Hardness of linearly ordered 4-colouring of 3-colourable 3-uniform hypergraphs","keyword":["Constraint satisfaction problem","hypergraph colouring","promise problem","topological methods"],"PlanS_conform":"1","month":"05","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"15168"}]},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1942-3462"],"issn":["1942-3454"]},"publication_status":"published","OA_place":"publisher","supplementarymaterial":"no","issue":"2","external_id":{"arxiv":["2312.12981"]},"corr_author":"1","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","department":[{"_id":"UlWa"}],"date_updated":"2026-10-21T13:23:55Z","intvolume":"        18","OA_type":"gold","date_created":"2026-07-05T22:01:37Z","author":[{"last_name":"Filakovský","id":"3E8AF77E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Marek","full_name":"Filakovský, Marek"},{"last_name":"Nakajima","first_name":"Tamio Vesa","full_name":"Nakajima, Tamio Vesa"},{"first_name":"Jakub","id":"ec596741-c539-11ec-b829-c79322a91242","orcid":"0000-0003-1245-3456","full_name":"Opršal, Jakub","last_name":"Opršal"},{"last_name":"Tasinato","full_name":"Tasinato, Gianluca","id":"0433290C-AF8F-11E9-A4C7-F729E6697425","first_name":"Gianluca"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","full_name":"Wagner, Uli","id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Uli","last_name":"Wagner"}],"doi":"10.1145/3779121","acknowledgement":"This research was supported by the Charles University project PRIMUS/21/SCI/014, by the Ministry of Education, Youth\r\nand Sports of the Czech Republic under the project MSCAfellow5_MUNI (CZ.02.01.01/00/22_010/0003229), and by the\r\nAustrian Science Fund (FWF project P31312-N35).

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

In this study, we developed a method of live imaging of apoplastic ROS at the root surface. Distinct signals, including auxin, extracellular adenosine triphosphate, and rapid alkalinization factor 1 peptide, induce cytosolic calcium transients and apoplastic ROS bursts. Genetic and optogenetic manipulations of Arabidopsis identified calcium transients as necessary and sufficient for ROS bursts through activation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases RBOHC and RBOHF. Apoplastic ROS bursts are not required, but they do limit gravity-induced root bending. Root bending is sensed by the stretch-activated calcium channel MCA1, leading to NADPH oxidase activation. The resulting ROS production stiffens cell walls to facilitate soil penetration. Apoplastic ROS thus provides a means to balance tissue flexibility and stiffness to navigate soil.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":392,"acknowledgement":"We gratefully acknowledge the Lab Support Facility (LSF) and the Imaging and Optics Facility (IOF) (both of ISTA) and the Hounsfield CT Facility (University of Nottingham) for support with imaging and the Growth Facility (IPMB) for plant cultivation.

Auxin signaling acts as a central regulatory hub in this process, yet the mechanisms that dynamically tune early auxin signalling in real time remain unknown. Here, we used the light-gated, Ca2+-permeable Channelrhodopsin 2 variant XXM2.0 to optogenetically impose defined Ca2+ signatures on Arabidopsis root cells. Repetitive light activation triggered cytosolic Ca2+ signals that in turn suppressed auxin-induced membrane depolarization and Ca2+ transients. Moreover, prolonged optogenetic Ca2+ stimulation affects auxin-responsive transcriptional reprogramming. As phenotypic output, reversible inhibition of root growth by suppressing cell division and elongation was observed. We further identify a candidate CaM7–CNGC14 module that likely mediates Ca2+-dependent gating of early auxin signalling. Our study thus introduces a synthetic biology approach to decompose calcium–auxin crosstalk in plant cells, and demonstrates that optogenetically imposed cytosolic Ca2+ signals act as dynamic regulators of auxin susceptibility in roots."}],"project":[{"grant_number":"101142681","name":"Cyclic nucleotides as second messengers in plants","_id":"8f347782-16d5-11f0-9cad-8c19706ee739"},{"name":"Guanylate cyclase activity of TIR1/AFBs auxin receptors","grant_number":"P37051","_id":"7bcece63-9f16-11ee-852c-ae94e099eeb6"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2026","date_published":"2026-08-26T00:00:00Z","oa":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","oa_version":"Preprint","biorxivid":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","day":"26","publication":"bioRxiv","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)"},"citation":{"ama":"Song H, Baudon A, Freund M, et al.

Decades-long efforts yielded TF-DNA interaction models that predict how strongly an individual TF binds arbitrary DNA sequences and how individual binding events on the CRE combine to affect gene expression. These insights can be synthesized into a global, biophysically realistic, and quantitative genotype–phenotype map for gene regulation, a ‘holy grail’ for the application of evolutionary theory. A global map provides a rare opportunity to simulate the long-term evolution of regulatory sequences and pose several fundamental questions: How long does it take to evolve CREs de novo? How many non-trivial regulatory functions exist in sequence space? How connected are they? For which regulatory architecture is CRE evolution most rapid and evolvable? In this article, the first of a two-part series, we briefly review the pertinent modeling and simulation efforts for a unique system that enables close, quantitative, and mechanistic links between biophysics, as well as systems, synthetic, and evolutionary biology.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gde.2026.102483","ddc":["570"],"arxiv":1,"month":"05","PlanS_conform":"1","title":"Long-term evolution of regulatory DNA sequences.

However, how sRNAs exert their function is largely unknown, likely due to their typical origin in non-genic regions, the lack of distinct gene targets, and the sparse characterization of their associated Argonaute (AGO) effector proteins. Here we show that Arabidopsis male reproductive sRNAs associate with AGO4, 5, 6 and 9, all of which are enriched in meiocytes along with RNA Polymerase V (Pol V). This enables these sRNAs to methylate loci with imperfect sequence homology. AGO4, AGO6 and AGO9 predominantly load 24-nucleotide (nt) Pol IV-derived sRNAs and mediate DNA methylation in meiocytes in a dosage-dependent manner. Despite closer homology to microRNA-associated AGO1 and AGO10, AGO5 primarily binds CLSY3- and Pol IV-derived 21-24 nt sRNAs. Transcriptomic and methylomic analyses of meiocytes from single and compound ago mutants demonstrate distinct yet complementary roles of AGO4/6/9 and AGO5 in regulating protein-coding genes and silencing transposons in the germline. These molecular disruptions are accompanied by significant meiotic defects. Together, our findings reveal how AGO4/6/9-mediated DNA methylation and AGO5, likely acting through post-transcriptional gene silencing, work together to promote male germline development."}],"volume":17,"file":[{"creator":"dernst","checksum":"f24efcba89d880d48fef04b780923780","file_size":4220128,"file_id":"23204","date_updated":"2026-10-28T08:41:06Z","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-10-28T08:41:06Z","success":1,"access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_NatureComm_Long.pdf"}],"project":[{"grant_number":"101153710","name":"The moleculaR mEchAnismS Of dNa methylatIon reprogrammiNg in Arabidopsis sexual lineaGe","_id":"8e917275-16d5-11f0-9cad-fee255fa62e0"},{"_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","grant_number":"101034413"},{"name":"Establishment, modulation and inheritance of sexual lineage specific DNA methylation in plants","grant_number":"804981","_id":"bdb51a6e-d553-11ed-ba76-c2025f3d5725","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"name":"Mechanisms and biological functions of H3K27me3 reprogramming in plant microspores","grant_number":"101126201","_id":"7c012eb8-9f16-11ee-852c-dc2b6371d5a0"}],"ddc":["580"],"DOAJ_listed":"1","title":"Multiple Argonaute complexes orchestrate epigenetic silencing in the Arabidopsis germline","month":"10","PlanS_conform":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2041-1723"]},"researchdata_availability":"yes","article_processing_charge":"Yes","das_tickbox":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","file_date_updated":"2026-10-28T08:41:06Z","pmid":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2026","date_published":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z","oa":1,"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Long, Jincheng, Chao Yang, Shujuan Xu, Joke G De Jaeger-Braet, Wenjing She, Seijiro Ono, James Walker, Ygor de Souza Vieira, Arp Schnittger, and Xiaoqi Feng. “Multiple Argonaute Complexes Orchestrate Epigenetic Silencing in the Arabidopsis Germline.” <i>Nature Communications</i>.

We investigate how magnetization, flickering jet power and the interplay between them affects the morphology of radio galaxies. We present a grid of relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations using the pluto code covering constant and variable jets with two levels of magnetization. We find that the constant high-magnetization jets can lead to highly asymmetrical cocoon morphologies, while the variable high-magnetization jet can exhibit a broken morphology, caused by a discontinuous jet beam. Our work highlights the importance of magnetization and variability on the stability and resulting morphology of radio-loud AGN jets, suggesting both are significant factors in addition to jet power or environment. Furthermore, we show that the interaction between magnetization and variability can lead to the development of localized kink instabilities along the jet beam. Finally, we discuss the effects of hydrodynamic mixing in low-magnetization jets and the role of viewing-angle dependence in comparisons between our simulations and observed sources. To facilitate this comparison we present a library of simulated radio images at different times in the simulations and from various viewing angles, which highlight a diverse set of complex morphologies."}],"file":[{"relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_MonthNoticesRAS_Elley.pdf","date_updated":"2026-10-28T08:19:16Z","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"date_created":"2026-10-28T08:19:16Z","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"57e15f531d22d18eaeca96d58b2ab911","file_size":8344810,"file_id":"23203","creator":"dernst"}],"ddc":["520"],"DOAJ_listed":"1","arxiv":1,"title":"The impact of flickering variability and magnetization on the dynamics, stability, and morphology of radio-loud AGN jets","PlanS_conform":"1","month":"11","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0035-8711"],"eissn":["1365-2966"]},"researchdata_availability":"upon request","article_processing_charge":"Yes","oa_version":"Published Version","das_tickbox":"1","file_date_updated":"2026-10-28T08:19:16Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z","year":"2026","oa":1,"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","citation":{"ieee":"E.

Multi-epoch photometric campaigns targeting caustic crossing galaxies magnified by massive galaxy clusters enable the detection of these objects as transient events. Such stars provide unique opportunities to study stellar populations at early cosmic times, probe the nature of dark matter, reveal small-scale structure in the cluster, and improve lens models. To date, only a few dozen high-redshift stars have been reported, with a single lensed galaxy, the Dragon, holding the current record of 44 detections. These numbers, however, remain insufficient to exploit their full potential. In this paper, owing to the inclusion of new observations, we report the identification of more than 100 magnified stellar events in the Dragon, behind the massive galaxy cluster Abell 370. The relatively low redshift of the Dragon (z ≈ 0.725) facilitates the detection of its most massive stars. Using imaging data from three different cycles (2022–2024) with the James Webb Space Telescope, we applied a time-domain technique to identify flux variations associated with caustic-crossing events. From the spatial distribution of stellar events, we constrained the high-end slope of the stellar luminosity function, finding β = 2.18−0.30+0.20. Alternatively, assuming a fixed slope, we constrained the microlens surface mass density. In addition, we examined the parity asymmetry of the detected caustic-crossing events, a proposed probe of wave dark matter, and found that it remains present in our fiducial lens model. We also used the events to trace the regions of highest magnification, offering an alternative way to map the system critical curves."}],"volume":714,"title":"The first statistical study of over 100 magnified stellar events at a redshift z ≈ 0.725 with JWST","PlanS_conform":"1","month":"10","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0004-6361"],"eissn":["1432-0746"]},"ddc":["520"],"DOAJ_listed":"1","arxiv":1},{"doi":"10.1051/0004-6361/202661289","acknowledgement":"We thank the anonymous referee for the constructive report and for the comments that helped us improving the initial manuscript.

How these characteristics translate into physical and structural properties remains unclear. Among various models, those involving a quasi-star interpret LRDs as an intermediate stage in the evolution of a super-massive black hole (SMBH) seed into a classic active galactic nucleus. In this paper, we employ the radiative-transfer code Cloudy to study whether this model is able to reproduce the spectral features commonly observed in LRDs. The model consists of an accreting SMBH (MBH ∼ 105-6 M⊙) surrounded by a convective layer where a black-body (BB) spectrum with T ∼ 5000 K and L ∼ 1044.4 erg s−1 is produced. This BB spectrum is then reprocessed by a concentric thick (∆R ∼ 1000 AU) shell of dense (nH ∼ 1011 cm−3) gas partially ionised by thermal collisions. The emerging radiation is further reprocessed by a diffuse clumpy medium surrounding the quasi-star. We fit this model to JWST/NIRSpec spectra of LRDs from the literature, deriving the main physical parameters and the SMBH masses. Once coupled with the UV emission from a host galaxy, this model is able to reproduce the shape of the UV-to-NIR continuum, including the presence of a Balmer break, as well as the luminosity of the hydrogen emission lines. However, this quasi-star model does not natively account for the presence of broad helium lines and for the possible presence of hot dust, needing additional components to match these observables. Our main result is to show how some LRDs can be modelled as quasi-stars, highlighting that a significant degeneracy exists among different LRD models. This has important consequences for our understanding of the mechanisms driving black hole growth in the early Universe.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":714,"type":"journal_article","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202661289","oa":1,"year":"2026","date_published":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-11-11T08:12:04Z","researchdata_availability":"yes","das_tickbox":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"No","article_type":"original","day":"01","publication":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_number":"A463","has_accepted_license":"1","dataavailabilitystatement":"The catalogue of the inferred parameters for the LRDs analysed in this work is available at the CDS via https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/714/A463.

However, approaches based on tomography and numerical reconstruction do not physically separate unknown fields into their coherence modes—that is, their orthogonal and mutually incoherent components. Here we demonstrate the separation of partially coherent light into coherence modes. We use variational processing in layered self-configuring interferometers on a silicon photonic circuit. This process finds the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the coherency matrix, characterizing the state while leaving it intact and separated after optimization. We show that spatially orthogonal, mutually incoherent beams can be routed to separate outputs even when their intensity profiles overlap. Our experiment separates the two strongest coherence modes from a nine-input sampling of overlapping fields from two independent lasers; operation beyond two modes is verified in a rank-3 experiment. The number of physical components scales linearly with the rank r of the coherency matrix, through r in situ gradient-based optimizations enabled by electronic drive-frequency multiplexing of the phase shifters. We benchmark performance against an on-chip mixture-based tomographic method. These results establish a scalable framework for programmable coherence analysis and control."}],"file":[{"file_name":"2026_NaturePhotonics_Mor.pdf","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2026-11-11T08:30:09Z","success":1,"date_created":"2026-11-11T08:30:09Z","file_size":2228788,"file_id":"23253","checksum":"57eb110a8538c7c1a0a592aebf551092","creator":"dernst"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","date_updated":"2026-11-11T08:32:21Z","department":[{"_id":"ChRo"}],"date_created":"2026-11-08T23:01:58Z","author":[{"last_name":"Mor","id":"a7383530-dda8-11f1-a30c-d70be69e1e25","first_name":"Paul-Alexis","full_name":"Mor, Paul-Alexis"},{"last_name":"Kroo","first_name":"Anne R.","full_name":"Kroo, Anne R."},{"full_name":"Valdez, Carson G.","first_name":"Carson G.","last_name":"Valdez"},{"last_name":"Šimić","full_name":"Šimić, Marko","first_name":"Marko"},{"last_name":"Karnieli","first_name":"Aviv","full_name":"Karnieli, Aviv"},{"full_name":"Cavicchioli, Gabriele","first_name":"Gabriele","last_name":"Cavicchioli"},{"last_name":"Sun","full_name":"Sun, Zhanghao","first_name":"Zhanghao"},{"full_name":"Grimaldi, Vittorio","first_name":"Vittorio","last_name":"Grimaldi"},{"first_name":"Shanhui","full_name":"Fan, Shanhui","last_name":"Fan"},{"last_name":"Solgaard","full_name":"Solgaard, Olav","first_name":"Olav"},{"last_name":"Miller","first_name":"David A.B.","full_name":"Miller, David A.B."},{"last_name":"Roques-Carmes","id":"e2e68fc9-6505-11ef-a541-eb4e72cc3e82","first_name":"Charles","full_name":"Roques-Carmes, Charles"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","doi":"10.1038/s41566-026-02035-6","acknowledgement":"We thank C.

So far, ionic memory has been attributed to ion-specific interactions, dynamic wetting, chemical reactions or mechanical deformations, yet typically without direct experimental evidence. Here, by combining operando interferometric imaging with electrokinetic measurements, we directly visualize voltage-induced blistering of the confining walls of two-dimensional (2D) nanochannels as the key origin of memristive hysteresis. We identify two distinct classes of blisters: unidirectional, driven by electrostatic forces on surface charges, and bidirectional, arising from osmotic pressure due to concentration polarization. This mechanistic framework explains device evolution and device-to-device variability, and reframes stochastic blistering as a functional design element. Our results constitute a direct proof of electromechanical coupling as a robust pathway to ionic memory in 2D nanochannels and open routes towards high-performance ionic memristors and electrically actuated nanofluidic valves."}],"acknowledgement":"We acknowledge funding from the European Research Council (grants 101020445—2D-LIQUID to N.R. and A.R.), the Swiss National Science Foundation (grant TMPFP2-217134 to T.E.) and Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship to A.D.P.; B.R. acknowledges funding from the Royal Society University Research Fellowship renewal URF\\R\\231008, Philip Leverhulme Prize PLP-2021-262, European Union’s H2020 Framework Programme ERC Grants (852674, AngstroCAP, and 101232407, ANGEL).

A number of MoClo “destination vectors” have been developed, however, available options are still limited with regards to copy number and antibiotic resistance in bacteria, vector compactness, and industry researchers’ access to materials. Here, we assembled combinations of five resistance cassettes, four origins of replication and two colour markers to develop a collection of compact MoClo-compatible pCORE destination vectors. pCORE vectors support MoClo Level 1 and Level 2 assembly, and can serve as starting points for developing vectors for other hosts. We tested the performance of our vector collection in Escherichia coli, Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. pCORE vectors are available to academia and industry under the terms of OpenMTA licence."}],"volume":16,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-66483-4","type":"journal_article","file":[{"file_id":"23255","file_size":1945334,"checksum":"ddae4cb7b7d87880d3a221b3045c3ef9","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2026_ScientificReports_Somermeyer.pdf","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2026-11-11T08:56:21Z","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-11-11T08:56:21Z","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"DOAJ_listed":"1","ddc":["570"],"PlanS_conform":"1","month":"10","title":"pCORE, a set of open modular plasmids compatible with golden gate assembly","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2045-2322"]}},{"oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","file_date_updated":"2026-05-21T07:11:27Z","year":"2026","date_published":"2026-01-01T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"APC_amount":"1352,08 EUR","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","_id":"21894","citation":{"ama":"Cornalba F, Fischer JL, Ingmanns J, Raithel C.

In its original form, it is highly\r\nsingular and fails to be renormalizable, even by approaches such as regularity structures and paracontrolled distributions, hindering mathematical approaches to its rigorous justification. It has been understood recently that it is\r\nnatural to introduce a suitable regularization, for example, by applying a formal spatial discretization or by truncating high-frequency noise: This yields\r\nwell-posed equations that should still precisely approximate the law of the\r\nparticle density fluctuations.\r\nIn the present work, we prove that a regularization in the form of a formal\r\ndiscretization of the Dean–Kawasaki equation indeed accurately describes\r\ndensity fluctuations in systems of weakly interacting diffusing particles: We\r\nshow that, in suitable weak metrics, the law of fluctuations as predicted by\r\nthe discretized Dean–Kawasaki SPDE approximates the law of fluctuations\r\nof the original particle system, up to an error that is of arbitrarily high order in\r\nthe inverse particle number and a discretization error. In particular, the Dean–\r\nKawasaki equation provides a means for efficient and accurate simulations of\r\ndensity fluctuations in weakly interacting particle systems.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":54,"type":"journal_article","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1214/25-aop1763","file":[{"checksum":"3e60c0e25a1c96342029a7d2b031505f","file_size":865745,"file_id":"21906","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_AnnalsProbability_Cornalba.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2026-05-21T07:11:27Z","success":1,"date_created":"2026-05-21T07:11:27Z","access_level":"open_access"}],"project":[{"name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"_id":"fc31cba2-9c52-11eb-aca3-ff467d239cd2","grant_number":"F6504","name":"Taming Complexity in Partial Differential Systems"}],"arxiv":1,"ddc":["510"],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2168-894X"],"issn":["0091-1798"]},"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"23257","status":"for_moderation","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"month":"01","PlanS_conform":"1","keyword":["Weakly interacting particle systems","fluctuating hydrodynamics","Dean-Kawasaki equation","stochastic PDEs","numerical approximation"],"title":"Density fluctuations in weakly interacting particle systems via the Dean–Kawasaki equation"}]
