Here we present the most distant example of this class yet – MoM-z14, a luminous (MUV = −20.2) source in the COSMOS legacy field at zspec = 14.44+0.02−0.02 that expands the observational frontier to a mere 280 million years after the Big Bang. The redshift is confirmed with NIRSpec/prism spectroscopy through a sharp Lyman-α break and ≈ 3σ detections of five rest-UV emission lines. The number density of bright zspec ≈ 14 − 15 sources implied by our “Mirage or Miracle” survey spanning ≈ 350 arcmin2 is > 100× larger (182+329 −105×) than pre-JWST consensus models. The high EWs of UV lines (≈15−35˚A) signal a rising star-formation history, with a ≈10× increase in the last 5 Myr (SFR5Myr/SFR50Myr = 9.9 +3.0 −5.8). The source is extremely compact (circularized re = 74+15\r\n−12 pc), and yet elongated (b/a = 0.25+0.11−0.06), suggesting an AGN is not the dominant source of UV light. The steep UV slope (β = −2.5 +0.2 −0.2) implies negligible dust attenuation\r\nand a young stellar population. The absence of a strong damping wing provides tentative evidence that the immediate surroundings of MoM-z14 may be partially ionized at a redshift where virtually every reionization model predicts a ≈ 100% neutral fraction. The nitrogen emission and highly supersolar [N/C]> 1 hint at an abundance pattern similar to local globular clusters that may have once hosted luminous supermassive stars. Since this abundance pattern is also common among the most ancient stars born in the Milky Way, we may be directly witnessing the formation of such stars in dense clusters, connecting galaxy evolution across the entire sweep of cosmic time.

This study presents a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of ozone levels from 2013 to 2023 and assesses the associated health burden using mortality data from the same period. Results reveal a consistent upward trend in ozone concentrations, particularly in northern, western, and southern localities, with seasonal peaks linked to biomass burning and photochemical conditions. Mortality analysis, based on the Global Exposure Mortality Model, estimates that 18.3% of all deaths among individuals aged 25 and older are attributable to long-term ozone exposure. The highest burdens are found in densely populated and socioeconomically vulnerable areas such as Kennedy, Suba, and Ciudad Bolívar, with the elderly being the most affected. Building on these findings, we developed a machine learning prediction model for ozone using a convolutional merge with a long-short term memory network architecture trained on air quality and meteorological variables. The model demonstrated strong predictive performance (mean Rho=0.86, RMSE=3.5 μg/m3) across monitoring stations (17 with at least 35000 data points), supporting its potential application in real-time early warning systems across Bogotá. This integrated approach highlights the importance of localized air quality management, combining epidemiological assessment with predictive modeling. The findings underscore the urgency of implementing region-specific mitigation strategies and improving monitoring infrastructure to reduce health risks from ozone exposure in Bogotá’s rapidly growing urban environment."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","day":"20","department":[{"_id":"CaMu"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"title":"Ozone trends and mortality risk: The growing need for machine learning predictions in Bogotá, Colombia","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","PlanS_conform":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2509-9426"],"eissn":["2509-9434"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"acknowledgement":"EAL-B and CP-R received support from Sergio Arboleda University through project No. IN.BG.086.24.014.

The structural basis of this secondary nucleation process, however, is poorly understood. Here, we ask whether secondary nucleation sites are found predominantly at rare growth defects: irregularities in the fibril core structure incorporated during their original assembly. We first demonstrate using the specific inhibitor of secondary nucleation, Brichos, that secondary nucleation sites on Alzheimer’s disease-associated fibrils composed of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides are rare compared to the number of protein molecules they contain. We then grow Aβ40 fibrils under conditions designed to eliminate most growth defects while leaving the regular fibril morphology unchanged, and confirm the latter using cryo-electron microscopy. We measure both the ability of these annealed fibrils to promote secondary nucleation and the stoichiometry of their secondary nucleation sites, finding that both are greatly reduced as predicted. Re-analysis of published data for other proteins suggests that fibril growth defects may also drive secondary nucleation generally across most amyloids. These findings could unlock structure-based drug design of therapeutics that aim to halt amyloid disorders by inhibiting secondary nucleation sites.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","publication":"Nature Communications","date_created":"2026-03-01T23:01:38Z","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"article_type":"original","DOAJ_listed":"1","citation":{"ista":"Hu J, Scheidt T, Thacker D, Axell E, Stemme E, Łapińska U, Wennmalm S, Meisl G, Curk S, Andreasen M, Vendruscolo M, Arosio P, Šarić A, Schmit JD, Knowles TPJ, Sparr E, Linse S, Michaels TCT, Dear AJ. 2026.

Motivated by this, we introduce a phenomenological theory based on the assumption that the most relevant states are characterized by the impurity correlated with at most one boson, since they have the largest overlap with the uncorrelated states to which the most common experimental probes couple. These experimentally relevant states can, however, decay to lower energy states characterized by correlations involving multiple bosons, and we model this using a minimal variational wave function combined with a complex impurity-boson interaction strength. We first motivate this approach by comparing to a more elaborate theory that includes correlations with up to two bosons. Our phenomenological model is shown to recover the main results of two recent experiments probing both the spectral and the nonequilibrium properties of the Bose polaron. Our work offers an intuitive framework for analyzing experimental data and highlights the importance of understanding the complicated problem of the Bose polaron decay in a many-body setting.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","external_id":{"arxiv":["2507.04143"]},"scopus_import":"1","publication":"Physical Review Research","oa_version":"Published Version","date_created":"2026-03-01T23:01:39Z","corr_author":"1","type":"journal_article","article_type":"letter_note","citation":{"chicago":"Al Hyder, Ragheed, G.

We show that at every dyadic scale from the system size down to the lattice spacing the minimizer contains at most order-one Dirichlet energy per unit length. We also establish a quenched homogenization result in the sense that the leading order of the minimal energy becomes deterministic as the ratio system size / lattice spacing diverges. To this purpose we adapt arguments from arXiv:2401.06768, (2024) on the (d + 1)-dimensional version our the model, with a Brownian replacing the white noise potential, to obtain the initial large-scale bounds. Based on our estimate of the (p = 3)-Dirichlet energy, we give an informal justification of the geometric linearization. Our bounds, which are oblivious to the microscopic cut-off scale provided by the lattice spacing, yield tightness of the law of minimizers in the space of continuous functions as the lattice spacing is sent to zero.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Otto, Felix, Matteo Palmieri, and Christian Wagner. “On Minimizing Curves in a Brownian Potential.” <i>Probability Theory and Related Fields</i>.

Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) are believed to significantly contribute to the star formation activity and mass assembly in galaxies. EELGs likely also play a leading role in the cosmic re-ionization as their interstellar medium may allow a significant fraction of their ionizing photons to escape (> 5%). Finding low-redshift analogues of these high-z galaxies is therefore essential to characterizing the physical conditions in the interstellar medium of these galaxies and understanding the processes that re-ionized the Universe.\r\n\r\nAims. We aimed to develop a robust and efficient method for the photometric identification of EELGs using the J-PAS survey. J-PAS will cover approximately 8500 deg2 of the sky with 54 narrow-band filters in the optical range plus i-SDSS, enabling detailed studies of the physical properties of these galaxies. In this work we focused on an initial subset of the survey: a 30 square degree area with complete observations in all bands.\r\n\r\nMethods. We combine equivalent width (EW) measurements from J-PAS narrow-band photometry with artificial intelligence techniques to identify galaxies with emission lines exceeding 300 Å. We validated our selection using spectroscopic data from DESI DR1 and characterized the selected sample through spectral energy distribution fitting with CIGALE.\r\n\r\nResults. We identify 917 EELGs up to z = 0.8 over 30 deg2, achieving a purity of 95% and a completeness of 96% for i-SDSS < 22.5 mag. Importantly, active galactic nucleus contamination was carefully considered and is estimated to be around 5%. Furthermore, a cross-match with DESI yielded 79 counterparts; their redshifts are in excellent agreement with our photometric estimates, thereby confirming the reliability of our redshift determination. In addition, the derived emission line fluxes are in good agreement with spectroscopic measurements. Moreover, the selected sample reveals strong correlations between the ionizing photon production efficiency (ξion) and EW(Hβ), which are consistent with previous observational studies at low and high redshifts and theoretical expectations. Finally, most of the sources surpass the ionizing efficiency threshold required for re-ionization, highlighting their relevance as local analogues of early-Universe galaxies."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","external_id":{"arxiv":["2512.08484"]},"OA_type":"diamond","intvolume":"       706","OA_place":"publisher","date_updated":"2026-03-02T15:10:27Z","ddc":["520"],"arxiv":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Giménez-Alcázar, A.","first_name":"A.","last_name":"Giménez-Alcázar"},{"first_name":"R.","last_name":"Amorín","full_name":"Amorín, R."},{"first_name":"J.

Paradoxically, perovskites are also known for having very short exciton decay times. Here, we resolve this apparent contradiction by showing that key optoelectronic properties of perovskites can be explained by localized flexoelectric polarization confined to interfaces between domains of spontaneous strain. Using birefringence imaging, electrochemical staining, and zero-bias photocurrent measurements, we visualize the domain structure and directly probe the associated internal fields in nominally cubic single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide. We demonstrate that localized flexoelectric fields spatially separate electrons and holes to opposite sides of domain walls, exponentially suppressing recombination. Domain walls thus act as efficient mesoscopic transport channels for long-lived photocarriers, microscopically linking structural heterogeneity to charge transport and offering mechanistically informed design principles for perovskite solar-energy technologies."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","external_id":{"pmid":["41698893"]},"DOAJ_listed":"1","article_type":"original","citation":{"chicago":"Rak, Dmytro, Dusan Lorenc, Daniel Balazs, Ayan A.

Here, we report the discovery and characterization of abundant extracellular vesicles (EVs) in planarians. Using imaging and molecular analysis, we show conservation of biogenesis, morphology, and protein composition of planarian EVs. Environmental stressors significantly elevate EV release, indicating that planarians dynamically regulate vesicle production. Functionally, planarian EVs mediate intercellular communication by transferring regulatory signals: We find that they shuttle small RNAs that effect systemic RNA interference (RNAi) throughout the organism. Notably, gene knockdown experiments reveal a crucial role for AGO-3, a member of the Argonaute family of proteins, in modulating the association of small interfering RNAs with EVs, linking the intracellular RNAi machinery to EV-based signaling. These findings highlight EVs as pivotal mediators of cell-cell communication in planarians, with broad implications for understanding the coordination of gene regulation and tissue regeneration in animals.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","article_type":"original","citation":{"chicago":"Sasidharan, Vidyanand, Laura Ancellotti, Viraj Doddihal, Carolyn Brewster, Frederick Mann, Mary Cathleen McKinney, Joseph Varberg, et al. “Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Stem Cell Signaling and Systemic RNAi in Planarians.” <i>Science Advances</i>.

For immune cells performing chemotaxis in the organism, this process is influenced by the complex geometry of the tissue environment. In this study, we use a theoretical model of branched cell migration on a network to explore the cellular response to chemical gradients. The model predicts the response of a branched cell to a chemical gradient: how the cell reorients its internal polarity and how it navigates through a complex environment up a chemical gradient. We then compare the model’s predictions with experimental observations of neutrophils migrating to the site of a laser-inflicted wound in a zebrafish larva fin, and neutrophils migrating in vitro inside a regular lattice of pillars. We find that the model captures the details of the subcellular response to the chemokine gradient, as well as qualitative characteristics of the large-scale migration, suggesting that the neutrophils behave as fast cells, which explains the functionality of these immune cells.","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["41632822"]},"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","day":"03","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"title":"Modelling chemotaxis of branched cells in complex environments provides insights into immune cell navigation","article_processing_charge":"Yes","PlanS_conform":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1553-7358"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"doi":"10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013934","file":[{"file_size":20688452,"file_id":"21388","file_name":"2026_PloSCompBio_.pdf","date_updated":"2026-03-02T14:11:14Z","checksum":"564041089e7334804ad3cade973f80b4","success":1,"access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-03-02T14:11:14Z"}],"acknowledgement":"N.S.G. is the incumbent of the Lee and William Abramowitz Professorial Chair of Biophysics (Weizmann Institute), and acknowledges support from the Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellowship, and Human Frontier Science Program grant RGP0032/2022.

However, systems that require verification or monitoring by a third party to ensure compliance with a specification might contain sensitive information, causing privacy concerns when usual runtime verification approaches are used. Privacy is compromised if protected information about the system, or sensitive data that is processed by the system, is revealed. In addition, revealing the specification being monitored may undermine the essence of third-party verification.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we propose a protocol for privacy-preserving runtime verification of systems against formal sequential specifications. We develop the protocol in two steps. In the first step, the monitor verifies whether the system satisfies the specification without learning anything else, though both parties are aware of the specification. In the second step, we extend the protocol to ensure that the system remains oblivious to the monitored specification, while the monitor learns only whether the system satisfies the specification and nothing more. Our protocol adapts and improves existing techniques used in cryptography, and more specifically, multi-party computation.\r\n\r\nThe sequential specification defines the observation step of the monitor, whose granularity depends on the situation (e.g., banks may be monitored on a daily basis). Our protocol exchanges a single message per observation step, after an initialization phase. This design minimizes communication overhead, enabling relatively lightweight privacy-preserving monitoring. We implement our approach for monitoring specifications described by register automata and evaluate it experimentally.\r\n","lang":"eng"}],"corr_author":"1","type":"dissertation","date_created":"2026-03-05T15:20:47Z","oa_version":"Published Version","project":[{"name":"Vigilant Algorithmic Monitoring of Software","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"62781420-2b32-11ec-9570-8d9b63373d4d","grant_number":"101020093"},{"grant_number":"F8512","name":"Security and Privacy by Design for Complex Systems","_id":"34a4ce89-11ca-11ed-8bc3-8cc37fb6e11f"}],"ddc":["000"],"date_updated":"2026-03-13T13:37:20Z","OA_place":"repository","page":"60","author":[{"first_name":"Mahyar","orcid":"0009-0005-0820-1696","last_name":"Karimi","id":"6e5417ba-5355-11ee-ae5a-94c2e510b26b","full_name":"Karimi, Mahyar"}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Master’s Thesis"],"month":"03","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public","id":"21020"}]},"publication_status":"published","file_date_updated":"2026-03-10T15:20:09Z","year":"2026"},{"acknowledgement":"The authors would like to thank Michael Lesnick and Primoz Skraba for their helpful comments regarding sparse approximations of filtrations.

While the former is starting to be well understood, the latter remains a major theoretical challenge, especially in programmable systems and the so-called semi-addressable regime, where binding is often nondeterministic and the formation of off-target structures negatively influences the assembly. Here, we show that it is possible to simultaneously sculpt the assembly outcome and the assembly kinetics through the underexplored design space of binding energies and particle concentrations. By formulating the assembly process as a complex reaction network, we calculate and optimize the tradeoff between assembly speed and quality and show that parameter optimization can speed up assembly by many orders of magnitude without lowering the yield of the target structure. Although the exact speedup varies from design to design, we find the largest speedups for nondeterministic systems where unoptimized assembly is the slowest, sometimes even making them assemble faster than optimized, fully addressable designs. Therefore, these results not only solve a key challenge in semi-addressable self-assembly but further emphasize the utility of semi-addressability, where designs have the potential to be faster as well as cheaper (fewer particle species) and better (higher yield). More broadly, our results highlight the importance of parameter optimization in programmable self-assembly and provide practical tools for simultaneous optimization of kinetics and yield in a wide range of systems."}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2510.07876"]},"status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","date_created":"2026-03-08T23:01:45Z","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Journal of Chemical Physics","oa_version":"Published Version","corr_author":"1","type":"journal_article","citation":{"mla":"Hübl, Maximilian, and Carl Peter Goodrich. “Simultaneous Optimization of Assembly Time and Yield in Programmable Self-Assembly.” <i>Journal of Chemical Physics</i>, vol. 164, no. 8, 084904, AIP Publishing, 2026, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0304731\">10.1063/5.0304731</a>.","short":"M.

For decades, biologists have considered meiotic drivers as interesting, albeit esoteric, case studies. It is now clear, however, that meiotic drive is more common and phylogenetically widespread than previously supposed. Indeed, intensive study of a few well-known cases has begun to reveal the evolutionary genomic consequences of meiotic drive. We argue here that many features of genome evolution, content, and organization that are seemingly inexplicable by organismal adaptation or nearly neutral processes are instead best accounted for by recurrent histories of meiotic drive. We review how meiotic drive can affect the evolution of sequences, gene copy numbers, genes with functions in meiosis and gametogenesis, signatures of “selection,” chromosome rearrangements, and karyotype evolution. We also explore the interactions of meiotic drive elements with other classes of selfish genetic elements, including satellite DNAs, transposable elements, and with the endogenous host genes involved in drive suppression. Finally, we argue that some aspects of drive-mediated genome evolution are now sufficiently well established that we might reverse the direction of discovery—rather than ask how drive affects genome evolution, we can use genome data to discover new putative drive elements.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","external_id":{"pmid":["41589062"]},"has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Presgraves, Daven C., R.

The MST-ratio has recently gained attention due to its direct interpretation in topological models for studying point sets with applications in spatial biology. The maximum MST-ratio of a point set is the maximum MST-ratio over all proper colorings of its points by red and blue. We prove that finding the maximum MST-ratio of a given point set is NP-hard when the dimension is part of the input. Moreover, we present a quadratic-time 3-approximation algorithm for this problem. As part of the proof, we show that in any metric space, the maximum MST-ratio is smaller than 3. Furthermore, we study the average MST-ratio over all colorings of a set of n points. We show that this average is always at least n-2/n-1, and for n random points uniformly distributed in a d-dimensional unit cube, the average tends to (math formular) in expectation as n approaches infinity."}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2409.11079"]},"status":"public","date_created":"2026-03-08T23:01:45Z","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","publication":"20th International Conference and Workshops on Algorithms and Computation","type":"conference","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2409.11079"}],"ec_funded":1,"citation":{"chicago":"Jabal Ameli, Afrouz, Faezeh Motiei, and Morteza Saghafian. “On the MST-Ratio: Theoretical Bounds and Complexity of Finding the Maximum.” In <i>20th International Conference and Workshops on Algorithms and Computation</i>, 16444:386–401.

These re-routing mechanisms rely on pre-installed static re-routing rules at the nodes (the routers), which depend only on local failure information, namely on the failed links incident to the node. Ideally, a network is perfectly resilient: the re-routing rules ensure that packets are always successfully routed to their destinations as long as the source and the destination are still physically connected in the underlying network after the failures. Unfortunately, there are examples where achieving perfect resilience is not possible. Surprisingly, only very little is known about the algorithmic aspect of when and how perfect resilience can be achieved. We investigate the computational complexity of analyzing such local fast re-routing mechanisms. Our main result is a negative one: we show that even checking whether a given set of static re-routing rules ensures perfect resilience is coNP-complete. Additionally, we investigate other fundamental variations of the problem. In particular, we show that our coNP-completeness proof also applies to scenarios where the re-routing rules have specific patterns (known as skipping in the literature). On the positive side, for scenarios where nodes do not have information about the link from which a packet arrived (the so-called in-port), we present a linear-time algorithm to realize perfect resilience whenever possible (which we show can also be determined in linear time).

However, switching AFM domains is challenging, as magnetic fields do not couple to the bulk antiferromagnetic order parameter. Here we show that magnetic-field-driven switching of AFM domains can in many cases be enabled by a generic reduction of magnetic exchange at surfaces. We use statistical mechanics and Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that an inequivalence in magnetic exchange between top and bottom surface moments, combined with the enhanced magnetic susceptibility of surface spins, can enable deterministic selection of antiferromagnetic domains depending on the magnetic-field ramping direction. We further show that this mechanism provides a natural interpretation for experimental observations of hysteresis in magneto-optical response of the van der Waals AFM $\\mathrm{MnBi_2Te_4}$. Our findings highlight the critical role of surface spins in responses of antiferromagnets to magnetic fields. Furthermore, our results suggest that antiferromagnetic domain selection via purely magnetic means may be a more common and experimentally accessible phenomenon than previously assumed.","lang":"eng"}],"OA_type":"green","doi":"10.48550/arXiv.2601.06646","acknowledgement":"SFW acknowledges funding from Chalmers University of Technology through the department of Physics and the Areas of Advance Nano and Materials Science.
