text: Galaxy clusters are the most massive, gravitationally bound structures in
the Universe. They emerged through hierarchical structure formation of large-scale
dark matter and baryon overdensities. Early galaxy ‘proto-clusters’ are believed
to have substantially contributed to the cosmic star-formation rate density and
served as ‘hotspots’ for the reionization of the intergalactic medium. Our understanding
of the formation of these structures at the earliest cosmic epochs is, however,
limited to sparse observations of their galaxy members or is based on phenomenological
models and cosmological simulations. Here we report the detection of a large and
coherent structure of neutral atomic hydrogen gas (H i) extending from a galaxy
proto-cluster at redshift z = 5.4, one billion years after the Big Bang. The presence
of this H i gas is revealed by strong damped Lyman-α absorption features observed
in several background-galaxy spectra. Although the sight lines overall probe a
large range in H i column densities, NHI = 1020 cm−2 to 1023.5 cm−2, they are
similar across nearby sight lines, demonstrating that they probe the same dense
neutral gas. This observation of a dense large-scale overdensity of cold neutral
gas challenges current cosmological simulations and has strong implications for
the reionization topology of the Universe.

text: 'Forests under livestock grazing sustain important ecosystem services but
face potential trade-offs between production and ecological integrity. While the
effects of grazing on individual forest attributes are well documented, their
integrated consequences remain poorly understood, particularly in temperate forest
ecosystems. We evaluated the combined influence of livestock grazing intensity
and canopy cover on individual attributes and ecosystem multifunctionality in
native Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Across eight ranches
spanning two agroecological regions (Ecotone and Mountain Range), we quantified
forest regeneration, understorey richness and biomass, and soil properties, integrating
them into a multifunctionality index. Using generalized linear mixed models, we
found strong context-dependence: in the Mountain Range, higher grazing intensity
reduced seedling and sapling density, organic matter content, coarse woody debris,
and overall multifunctionality. In the Ecotone, these effects of livestock use
intensity were attenuated, and canopy cover diminished sapling density and multifunctionality,
but moderate cover enhanced understorey. Our results extend multifunctionality
research from grazed grasslands to grazed temperate forests and show that ecological
responses and trade-offs vary across landscape units. We conclude that the Mountain
Range is more vulnerable to grazing, requiring stricter management, whereas the
Ecotone retains greater capacity to sustain multifunctionality under controlled
livestock use intensity. These findings underscore the importance of region-specific
silvopastoral strategies that reconcile food production with forest conservation
in southern Patagonia and comparable temperate forest landscapes worldwide.'

text: We unify the variational hypocoercivity framework established by D. Albritton,
S. Armstrong, J.-C. Mourrat, and M. Novack [2], with the notion of second-order
lifts of reversible diffusion processes, recently introduced by A. Eberle and
the second author [30]. We give an abstract, yet fully constructive, presentation
of the theory, so that it can be applied to a large class of linear kinetic equations.
As this hypocoercivity technique does not twist the reference norm, we can recover
accurate and sharp convergence rates in various models. Among those, adaptive
Langevin dynamics (ALD) is discussed in full detail and we show that for near-quadratic
potentials, with suitable choices of parameters, it is a near-optimal second-order
lift of the overdamped Langevin dynamics. As a further consequence, we observe
that the Generalised Langevin Equation (GLE) is also a second-order lift, as the
standard (kinetic) Langevin dynamics are, of the overdamped Langevin dynamics.
Then, convergence of (GLE) cannot exceed ballistic speed, i.e. the square root
of the rate of the overdamped regime. We illustrate this phenomenon with explicit
computations in a benchmark Gaussian case.

text: "1. Collective behaviours are a fascinating study area due to the emergent
properties that can only arise in groups of interacting individuals. However,
their quantitative study is often impaired by technical difficulties, creating
either low-quality and sparse data or impractical data amounts, particularly when
capturing large groups over long periods of time. Common challenges arise from
recording group members with as little obscuring of each other as possible, as
well as in generating manageable data amounts with as high as possible information
content.\r\n2. We here provide a multicomponent system that allows to record,
analyse and simulate the long-term spatiotemporal activity patterns of insect
collectives, especially ant colonies. Our Ant Observing System, ALTAA, comprises
a flat-nest design to prevent occlusion of individuals, a recording system running
on a low-power single-board-computer, and a set of computer programmes performing
quantitative analyses to guide the formation and validation of rules underlying
the observed collective patterns. Our system is scalable in that it allows parallel,
continuous observation of a high number of colonies using low memory space, with
colony maintenance requirements (e.g. feeding, nest humidity) being achieved at
lowest possible disturbance by the experimenter.\r\n3. We showcase the potential
of the system in a study using the black garden ant, Lasius niger, where we analyse
the spatiotemporal effects of different group sizes (1, 6, 10 ants), brood (larvae)
presence or absence, as well as of different nest geometries, over a period of
1 week. We show that the ants' motion activity has a weak periodicity in the range
of 20 to 120 min promoted by larval presence, and that ants are spatially attracted
to their larvae, the water source and the walls. We also find that the presence
of nestmates lowers an individual ant's motion activity. Observed data are compared
to simulations of the temporal activity of the ants.\r\n4. ALTAA provides a powerful
toolkit to quantify and interpret spatial and temporal collective activity patterns
in (social) insects over extended periods."

text: 'Depending on the type of flow, the transition to turbulence can take one
of two forms: either turbulence arises from a sequence of instabilities or from
the spatial proliferation of transiently chaotic domains, a process analogous
to directed percolation. The former scenario is commonly referred to as a supercritical
transition and frequently encountered in flows destabilized by body forces, whereas
the latter subcritical transition is common in shear flows. Both cases are inherently
continuous in a sense that the transformation from ordered laminar to fully turbulent
fluid motion is only accomplished gradually with flow speed. Here we show that
these established transition types do not account for the more general setting
of shear flows subject to body forces. The combination of the two continuous scenarios
leads to the attenuation of spatial coupling; with increasing forcing amplitude,
the transition becomes increasingly sharp and eventually discontinuous. We argue
that the suppression of laminar–turbulent coexistence and the approach towards
a discontinuous phase transition potentially apply to a broad range of situations
including flows subject to, for example, buoyancy, centrifugal or electromagnetic
forces.'

text: 'Embryogenesis in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana provides a framework
for understanding how cell polarity and patterning coordinate with hormonal signalling
to establish the plant body plan. Following fertilisation, the zygote divides
asymmetrically to generate apical and basal lineages, establishing the apical–basal
axis that defines future shoot and root poles. Genetic and molecular analyses
of classical mutants including gnom, monopteros (mp), bodenlos (bdl) and topless
revealed that localised auxin biosynthesis, directional transport and downstream
transcriptional responses are central to apical–basal axis establishment and organ
initiation. The main components of this regulation are polarly localised PIN auxin
transporters and downstream modules involving MONOPTEROS and WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX
transcription factors. Advances in microscopy have transformed the study of Arabidopsis
embryogenesis: fluorescence-compatible clearing reagents and three-dimensional
reconstructions now permit quantitative analyses of cell geometry, division orientation,
and cytoskeletal dynamics. Live ovule imaging setups with confocal laser scanning
and multiphoton microscopes enable real-time observation of embryo development,
while laser-assisted cell ablation can be used to probe cell-to-cell communication
and fate plasticity. Together, these methodological breakthroughs position Arabidopsis
embryos as a prime model for dissecting the chemical and biophysical cues that
shape plant development.'

text: An individual's phenotype reflects a complex interplay of the direct effects
of their DNA, epigenetic modifications of their DNA induced by their parents,
and indirect effects of their parents' DNA. Here, we derive how the genetic variance
within a population is changed under the influence of indirect maternal, paternal
and parent-of-origin effects under random mating. We also consider indirect effects
of a sibling, in particular how the genetic variance is altered when looking at
the phenotypic difference between two siblings. The calculations are then extended
to include assortative mating (AM), which alters the variance by inducing increased
homozygosity and correlations within and across loci. AM likely leads to covariance
of parental genetic effects, a measure of the similarity of parents in the indirect
effects they have on their children. We propose that this assortment for parental
characteristics, where biological parents create similar environments for their
children, can create shared parental effects across traits and the appearance
of cross-trait AM. Our theory shows how the resemblance among relatives increases
under both AM, indirect and parent-of-origin effects. When our model is used to
predict correlations among relatives in human height, we find that explaining
the patterns observed in real data requires both indirect genetic effects and
assortative mating. The degree to which direct, indirect and epigenetic effects
shape the phenotypic variance of complex traits remains an open question that
requires large-scale family data to be resolved.

text: The mammalian brain stores glucose, the main circulating energy substrate,
as glycogen. In rodents, the cerebellum contains relatively high glycogen levels,
yet its cellular and subcellular distribution remains poorly defined. Using monoclonal
antibodies against glycogen, we examined its distribution in the mouse cerebellar
cortex. Glycogen was predominantly localized to Bergmann glia (BG) processes in
the molecular layer and was also detected in Purkinje cells (PCs), the principal
cerebellar neurons. To assess the functional significance of cerebellar glycogen,
we analyzed behavior in mice lacking glycogen synthase 1 (Gys1) in BG or PCs using
a floxed Gys1 line. Gys1 deficiency in either PCs or GFAP-positive cells reduced
anxiety-like behavior, whereas combined deletion caused PC degeneration and ataxia.
These findings reveal a critical role for glycogen metabolism in both astrocytes
and neurons in cerebellar function.

text: Sex-chromosome systems are highly variable across animals, but how they transition
from one to another is not well understood. Diptera have undergone multiple sex-chromosome
turnovers and expansions while maintaining their general chromosomal content,
which makes them an ideal clade to study such transitions. We analyzed more than
100 dipteran whole-genome assemblies and identified 4 new lineages that underwent
sex-chromosome turnover (in addition to the 5 previously reported). We find that
the majority of turnovers happened in the group Schizophora, which tend to have
fewer genes on Muller element F (the chromosome homologous to the ancestral insect
X chromosome) than lower dipterans, a factor previously hypothesized to facilitate
turnover. Most derived X chromosomes have higher GC content than autosomes, consistent
with a high prevalence of male achiasmy in Diptera. In addition, an excess of
gene movement out of the X is detected for most of these new X chromosomes, and
many of these moved genes have high testis expression in Drosophila, suggesting
that out-of-X gene movement contributes to the long-term demasculinization of
X chromosomes.

text: 'The cobalt-intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide CoxTaS2 hosts a rich
landscape of magnetic phases that depend sensitively on x. While the stoichiometric
compound with x = 1/3 exhibits a single magnetic transition, samples with x≤0.325
display two transitions with an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) emerging in the lower
temperature phase. Here, we resolve the spin structure in each phase by employing
a suite of magneto-optical probes that include the discovery of anomalous magneto-birefringence:
a spontaneous time-reversal sensitive rotation of the principal optic axes. A
symmetry-based analysis identifies the AHE-active phase as an anisotropic (2+1)Q
state, in which magnetic modulation at one wavevector (Q) differs in symmetry
from that at the remaining two. The (2+1)Q state naturally exhibits scalar spin
chirality as a mechanism for the AHE and expands the classification of multi-Q
magnetic phases.'

text: We study the ground state energy of a gas of spin 1/2 fermions with repulsive
short-range interactions. We derive an upper bound that agrees, at low density
e, with the Huang–Yang conjecture. The latter captures the first three terms in
an asymptotic low-density expansion, and in particular the Huang–Yang correction
term of order e^7/3. Our trial state is constructed using an adaptation of the
bosonic Bogoliubov theory to the Fermi system, where the correlation structure
of fermionic particles is incorporated by quasi-bosonic Bogoliubov transformations.
In the latter, it is important to consider a modified zero-energy scattering equation
that takes into account the presence of the Fermi sea, in the spirit of the Bethe–Goldstone
equation.

text: Selecting an appropriate divergence measure is a critical aspect of machine
learning, as it directly impacts model performance. Among the most widely used,
we find the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence, originally introduced in kinetic
theory as a measure of relative entropy between probability distributions. Just
as in machine learning, the ability to quantify the proximity of probability distributions
plays a central role in kinetic theory. In this paper, we present a comparative
review of divergence measures rooted in kinetic theory, highlighting their theoretical
foundations and exploring their potential applications in machine learning and
artificial intelligence.

text: 'Swimming bacteria move through a fluid by actuating their moving body parts.
They are force-free and can be described as hydrodynamic force dipoles: pushers
or pullers. This modelling description is broadly used in biological physics and
active matter research, and it has successfully predicted, for example, the superfluid
behaviour of suspensions of pushers or the bend instability and emergence of turbulent
flows in active nematics. However, this description accounts only for the translational
motion of the swimming body and neglects the effects of hydrodynamic torque dipoles,
which are relevant to bacteria with rotary motor-driven flagella, such as swimming
Escherichia coli. Here we show that the torque dipole of confined swimming E.
coli can power the persistent rotation of symmetric discs. The torque dipole leads
to a traction force on the discs, an additive mechanism that is both contactless
and independent of the orientation of the bacteria. Our results indicate that
the torque dipole of swimming E. coli is notable in confined geometries, which
is relevant to bacterial transport through porous materials, biofilms and the
development of chiral fluids.'

text: Male germline development in plants is highly sensitive to heat stress, with
elevated temperatures frequently impairing male fertility and consequently reducing
seed production. Indeed, recent global warming has decreased major crop yields,
emphasizing the urgent need to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms
underlying heat-induced male sterility. This review synthesizes current knowledge
on how heat stress disrupts microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis, and how
plants counteract these stresses through diverse thermotolerance mechanisms. We
emphasize temperature-sensitive processes, including meiotic progression in male
germ cells, programmed cell death of somatic tapetal nurse cells, and post-meiotic
pollen tube development. We further discuss how epigenetic regulators enhance
thermotolerance by reprogramming DNA methylation landscapes and modulating histone
variant distribution. Finally, we propose future directions aimed at understanding
the mechanisms of reproductive thermotolerance from the epigenetic perspective.

text: Quantum control of the many-body wavefunction is a central challenge in quantum
materials research, as it could yield a precise control knob to manipulate emergent
phenomena. Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic
non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control.
Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion
states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored.
Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated
Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant
mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving
its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation
to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton
states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated
states and exciton-based quantum sensing.

text: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a crucial member of the reactive oxygen species
(ROS) family, playing roles in cellular signalling and immune responses in human
health. Moreover, it is a potential biomarker of diabetes when present in aberrant
concentrations. Therefore, monitoring trace levels of H2O2 has become a research
hotspot for analytical and sensor chemists. In this context, we report a rhodamine-based
fluorescent probe (RN), which shows excellent fluorescent enhancement at 555 nm
upon the addition of H2O2 along with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.67 ppm
and fast response (∼2 min). The probe is highly selective for H2O2, showing no
fluorescence enhancement with other ROS. RN is synthesised in a one-pot chemical
reaction using rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TTDA).
H2O2 detection in pre-treated milk samples proves its real-world viability. We
found that RN shows low cytotoxicity, which allowed us to successfully explore
its potential to monitor H2O2 generation in a diabetic L929 skin cell line and
diabetic mice liver tissue. This result demonstrates promising features for assessing
early diabetic progression through fluorescence imaging.

text: "As neural-network-based models grow both in size and popularity, interest
has grown in making the models smaller and more efficient to train. To that end,
many methods have been proposed to prune models by reducing their number of nonzero
parameters. Additionally, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, in which a much smaller
number of parameters than the total contained in the model is updated during training,
has become very popular, especially in the space of Large Language Models. At
the same time, the increasingly routine deployment of machine learning in real-world
applications has spurred a drive to make them more trustworthy - in the sense
of, among other things, being unbiased, interpretable, and editable. In this thesis,
we examine the interplay between efficiency and trustworthiness.\r\n\r\nFirst,
we analyze the effects of model pruning on bias in computer vision models, demonstrating
that increased sparsity leads to greater bias, largely as a function of increased
model uncertainty in marginal cases. Based on this observation, we propose several
bias mitigation techniques. Then, we demonstrate that example-specific model pruning
can improve model interpretation methods while improving pruning efficiency to
make example-specific model pruning feasible in real time. Then, we investigate
the effectiveness of parameter-efficient and data-efficient model personalization
via fine-tuning, demonstrating that it is highly feasible with very small computational
and data resources. Finally, we consider efficiency in editing model knowledge
using a custom synthetic data framework, demonstrating that parameter-efficient,
low-rank fine-tuning frequently outperforms full-rank fine-tuning, and, additionally,
that restricting which model blocks are fine-tuned frequently improves results.
Together, the results in this thesis provide new insights and techniques for combining
trustworthiness and efficiency during neural network inference and training.\r\n\r\n"

text: "The availability of powerful open-source large language models (LLMs) opens
exciting use cases, such as using personal data to fine-tune these models to imitate
a user’s unique writing style. Two key requirements for this functionality are
personalization–in the sense that the output should recognizably reflect the user’s
own writing style—and privacy–users may justifiably be wary of uploading extremely
personal data, such as their email archive, to a third-party service. In this
paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of training and running such an assistant,
which we call Panza, on commodity hardware, for the specific use case of email
generation. Panza’s personalization features are based on a combination of parameter-efficient
fine-tuning using a variant of the Reverse Instructions technique [1] and Retrieval-Augmented
Generation (RAG) [2]. We demonstrate that this combination allows us to fine-tune
an LLM to reflect a user’s writing style using limited data, while executing on
extremely limited resources, e.g. on a free Google Colab instance. Our key methodological
contribution is the first detailed study of evaluation metrics for this task,
and\r\nof how different choices of system components–the use of RAG and of different
fine-tuning approaches–impact the system’s performance. Additionally, we demonstrate
that very little data - under 100 email samples - are sufficient to create models
that convincingly imitate humans, showcasing a previously unknown attack vector
in language models. We are releasing the full Panza code as well as three new
email datasets licensed for research use."

text: As artificial neural networks, and specifically large language models, have
improved rapidly in capabilities and quality, they have increasingly been deployed
in real-world applications, from customer service to Google search, despite the
fact that they frequently make factually incorrect or undesirable statements.
This trend has inspired practical and academic interest in model editing, that
is, in adjusting the weights of the model to modify its likely outputs for queries
relating to a specific fact or set of facts. This may be done either to amend
a fact or set of facts, for instance, to fix a frequent error in the training
data, or to suppress a fact or set of facts entirely, for instance, in case of
dangerous knowledge. Multiple methods have been proposed to do such edits. However,
at the same time, it has been shown that such model editing can be brittle and
incomplete. Moreover the effectiveness of any model editing method necessarily
depends on the data on which the model is trained, and, therefore, a good understanding
of the interaction of the training data distribution and the way it is stored
in the network is necessary and helpful to reliably perform model editing. However,
working with large language models trained on real-world data does not allow us
to understand this relationship or fully measure the effects of model editing.
We therefore propose Behemoth, a fully synthetic data generation framework. To
demonstrate the practical insights from the framework, we explore model editing
in the context of simple tabular data, demonstrating surprising findings that,
in some cases, echo real-world results, for instance, that in some cases restricting
the update rank results in a more effective update.
