text: "Characterizing protein dynamics at the atomic level is essential for our
understanding of biological mechanisms. Whether it is to facilitate metabolite
transport, catalyze reactions, transmit signals, or regulate metabolism – proteins
are constantly in motion and sample multiple conformational states to fulfill
their function. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is particularly
well suited to elucidate the dynamics of biomolecules on their complex free-energy
landscape. In particular, solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR enables the
study of large molecular assemblies, protein crystals, or insoluble proteins at
atomic resolution without an inherent molecular size limitation. MAS NMR experiments
to probe protein dynamics are extremely versatile and sensitive to motional timescales
from picoseconds to seconds. Over the past decades, technological advances, developments
in experimental design, and new isotope-labeling approaches have further expanded
the possibilities of this technique and significantly improved the accuracy of
the determined motional parameters.\r\nFunctionally important sites of proteins
often contain aromatic residues. Their side-chain motions have therefore long
served as valuable indicators of mechanistically relevant dynamics in NMR studies.
In this thesis, site-specifically labeled aromatic residues act as sensitive reporters
for MAS NMR studies of protein dynamics. The first part addresses how different
environments impact side-chain motion by probing ring flips of phenylalanines
and tyrosines in crystalline proteins and amyloid fibrils. It provides important
insights for the analysis of dynamics obtained in non-native protein environments
and emphasizes the complex factors that determine the timescale of internal dynamics.
In the second part, the focus shifts towards methodological questions regarding
the investigation of protein dynamics by 19F MAS NMR. The fluorine nucleus exhibits
promising characteristics for NMR studies but also presents significant challenges,
which is why the full methodological potential of 19F MAS NMR has not been fully
realized yet. This work demonstrates that paramagnetic doping can considerably
reduce the measurement time and improve the sensitivity of fluorinated samples.
Finally, 19F MAS NMR is evaluated as a tool for studying protein side-chain dynamics
on the example of tryptophans. The results illustrate the challenges in analyzing
such experiments and lay the foundation for further development of 19F MAS NMR
relaxation studies.\r\nTaken together, this thesis highlights the potential of
combining specific isotope labeling, MAS NMR, and complementary methods such as
crystallography and computational simulations to elucidate internal protein dynamics.
The further development of such integrative approaches will be crucial to improving
our understanding of complex mechanisms and protein function.\r\n"

text: Protein conformational energy landscapes are shaped not only by intramolecular
interactions but also by their environment. In protein crystals and protein–protein
complexes, intermolecular contacts alter this energy landscape, but the exact
nature of this alteration is difficult to decipher. Understanding how the crystal
lattice affects protein dynamics is crucial for crystallography-based studies
of motion, yet its influence on collective motions remains unclear. Aromatic ring
flips in the hydrophobic core represent sensitive probes of such dynamics. Here,
we compare the kinetics of aromatic ring flips in the protein GB1 in crystals,
in complex with its binding partner IgG, and in solution, combining advanced isotope
labelling with quantitative NMR methods. We show that rings in the core flip nearly
a thousand times less frequently in crystals than in solution. Enhanced-sampling
molecular dynamics simulations, based on a crystal structure of a GB1 variant
reported in this work, reproduce these elevated barriers and reveal how the crystal
restrains motions.

text: 'A phase plate has long been sought in transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
to maximize the image contrast of weakly-scattering objects like biomolecules.
The laser phase plate (LPP) has recently demonstrated that an amplified, focused
laser standing wave reliably phase shifts the electron beam, achieving phase-contrast
TEM. Building on the single-beam LPP, here we introduce the crossed laser phase
plate (XLPP): two laser standing waves which intersect in the diffraction plane.
We present a theoretical model for the XLPP inside the microscope and show that,
relative to the original LPP, it increases information transfer at low spatial
frequencies while suppressing ghost images formed by Kapitza-Dirac diffraction.
We also present a simple acquisition scheme, enabled by the XLPP, which further
suppresses ghosts. Finally, we discuss practical considerations of XLPP design
and show experimental results from a prototype. The results of this study chart
the course for future developments of LPP hardware.'

text: Phase plates can, in principle, overcome the poor image contrast in cryo–electron
microscopy (cryo-EM) and the resulting limits on the structural reconstruction
of small proteins. However, previous designs have been unstable and compromised
the high-resolution signal and have thus been unable to surpass results achieved
by standard cryo-EM. Here, we show that the laser phase plate (LPP), installed
in a modern, custom Titan Krios microscope, enhances the resolution in single-particle
reconstruction of small proteins by improving specimen-motion correction and recovery
of information from the early frames, as well as particle visualization, three-dimensional
classification, and alignment. These advances use standard defocus ranges and
reconstruction procedures but open the door to LPP-tailored protocols, offering
further improvements by leveraging the LPP demonstrated here.

text: 'Society faces increasingly severe flood hazards, intensifying demand for
flood early warning systems (FEWS) that deliver accurate and actionable information.
However, most existing FEWS remain prediction‐centric, treating decision‐making
as a downstream consumer of hazard forecasts while offering limited support for
uncertainty interpretation, risk communication, and real‐world response. This
Perspective presents a vision and blueprint for a novel inland FEWS‐decision‐making
(FEWS‐DM) framework that repositions decision‐making as an equal partner in the
forecasting process—not a passive recipient of its outputs. The framework is built
on three tightly coupled, co‐evolving thrusts: Physical Science (T1), which advances
flood prediction with quantified uncertainty informed by decision relevance; Human
Science (T2), which incorporates psychology, behavior, and cultural and institutional
context; and Decision Science (T3), which unifies physical predictions and human
factors through principled, utility‐based decision support with end‐to‐end uncertainty
management. Rather than treating T1 as a solved problem, FEWS‐DM recognizes that
forecast development itself must be shaped by decision needs through continuous
bidirectional feedback. We identify key scientific, behavioral, and operational
challenges limiting such integration and discuss the enabling role of AI, while
emphasizing human‐centered design and community feedback as essential for building
trust and improving flood risk management.'

text: "We prove discrete-to-continuum convergence for dynamical optimal transport
on Zd\r\n -periodic graphs with cost functional having linear growth at infinity.
This result provides an answer to a problem left open by Gladbach, Kopfer, Maas,
and Portinale (Calc Var Partial Differential Equations 62(5), 2023), where the
convergence behaviour of discrete boundary-value dynamical transport problems
is proved under the stronger assumption of superlinear growth. Our result extends
the known literature to some important classes of examples, such as scaling limits
of 1 -Wasserstein transport problems. Similarly to what happens in the quadratic
case, the geometry of the graph plays a crucial role in the structure of the limit
cost function, as we discuss in the final part of this work, which includes some
visual representations."

text: 'The lack of long-range electrostatics is a key limitation of modern machine
learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), hindering reliable applications to interfaces,
charge-transfer reactions, polar and ionic materials, and biomolecules. In this
Perspective, we distill two design principles behind the Latent Ewald Summation
framework, which can capture long-range interactions, charges, and electrical
response just by learning from standard energy and force training data: (i) use
a Coulomb functional form with environment-dependent charges to capture electrostatic
interactions, and (ii) avoid explicit training on ambiguous density functional
theory partial charges. When both principles are satisfied, substantial flexibility
remains: essentially any short-range MLIP can be augmented; charge equilibration
schemes can be added when desired; dipoles and Born effective charges can be inferred
or fine-tuned; and charge/spin-state embeddings or tensorial targets can be further
incorporated. We also discuss current limitations and open challenges. Together,
these minimal, physics-guided design rules suggest that incorporating long-range
electrostatics into MLIPs is simpler and perhaps more broadly applicable than
is commonly assumed.'

text: Warming impacts both net primary production (NPP) and soil organic carbon
(SOC) decomposition, and consequently, SOC storage. However, the role of warming
in regulating SOC storage remains debated. Here, we leverage literature data of
warming experiments and a mechanistic model to explore SOC responses to warming
by partitioning the effects of air and soil warming. Both the literature data
and numerical model show that air and soil warming play distinct roles in regulating
SOC storage, with insignificant SOC responses under air warming and negative responses
to soil warming. Soil warming decreases SOC storage because of temperature-driven
increases in decomposition rate. Air warming effects on SOC are more complex.
In some cases, air warming can lead to a lower NPP and higher decomposition rate.
In others, air warming can stimulate NPP and enhance soil moisture depletion that
inhibits SOC decomposition. Once the latter mechanisms dominate, SOC storage increases
with air warming.

text: Quantification of the impact of environmental stress on terrestrial vegetation
photosynthesis is crucial for our understanding of the global carbon cycle, particularly
under a changing climate. Vegetation responses to environmental stress manifest
first as plant physiological changes, and at later stages through changes in canopy
structure. Here we leverage CO2 and water flux data from 103 eddy covariance towers
and satellite thermal images to assess whether current satellite reconstructions
of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence capture these plant mechanisms. After
removing seasonality using standardized anomalies (z-scores), we found that the
relationship between tower-observed gross primary productivity and fluorescence
reconstructions considerably weakened across a wide range of biomes. This loss
of correlation results from a decoupling between stomatal responses and the physiological
emission yield (ΦF) of fluorescence reconstructions during soil and atmospheric
dry periods. The consequence is that productivity derived from fluorescence reconstructions
will be progressively overestimated as dry conditions persist.

text: "Truncation of cryptographic outputs is a technique that was recently introduced
in Baldimtsi et al. [Foteini Baldimtsi et al., 2022]. The general idea is to try
out many inputs to some cryptographic algorithm until the output (e.g. a public-key
or some hash value) falls into some sparse set and thus can be compressed: by
trying out an expected 2^k different inputs one will find an output that starts
with k zeros.\r\nUsing such truncation one can for example save substantial gas
fees on Blockchains where storing values is very expensive. While [Foteini Baldimtsi
et al., 2022] show that truncation preserves the security of the underlying primitive,
they only consider a setting without preprocessing. In this work we show that
lower bounds on the time-space tradeoff for inverting random functions and permutations
also hold with truncation, except for parameters ranges where the bound fails
to hold for \"trivial\" reasons.\r\nConcretely, it’s known that any algorithm
that inverts a random function or permutation with range N making T queries and
using S bits of auxiliary input must satisfy S⋅ T ≥ Nlog N. This lower bound no
longer holds in the truncated setting where one must only invert a challenge from
a range of size N/2^k, as now one can simply save the replies to all N/2^k challenges,
which requires S = log N⋅ N /2^k bits and allows to invert with T = 1 query.\r\nWe
show that with truncation, whenever S is somewhat smaller than the log N⋅ N /2^k
bits required to store the entire truncated function table, the known S⋅ T ≥ Nlog
N lower bound applies."

text: 'Modern machine learning tasks often require considering not just one but
multiple objectives. For example, besides the prediction quality, this could be
the efficiency, robustness or fairness of the learned models, or any of their
combinations. Multi-objective learning offers a natural framework for handling
such problems without having to commit to early trade-offs. Surprisingly, statistical
learning theory so far offers almost no insight into the generalization properties
of multi-objective learning. In this work, we make first steps to fill this gap:
We establish foundational generalization bounds for the multi-objective setting
as well as generalization and excess bounds for learning with scalarizations.
We also provide the first theoretical analysis of the relation between the Pareto-optimal
sets of the true objectives and the Pareto-optimal sets of their empirical approximations
from training data. In particular, we show a surprising asymmetry: All Pareto-optimal
solutions can be approximated by empirically Pareto-optimal ones, but not vice
versa.'

text: 'The high computational costs of large language models (LLMs) have led to
a flurry of research on LLM compression, via methods such as quantization, sparsification,
or structured pruning. A new frontier in this area is given by dynamic, non-uniform
compression methods, which adjust the compression levels (e.g., sparsity) per-block
or even per-layer in order to minimize accuracy loss, while guaranteeing a global
compression threshold. Yet, current methods rely on estimating the "importance"
of a given layer, implicitly assuming that layers contribute independently to
the overall compression error. We begin from the motivating observation that this
independence assumption does not generally hold for LLM compression: pruning a
model further may even significantly recover performance. To address this, we
propose EvoPress, a novel evolutionary framework for dynamic LLM compression.
By formulating dynamic compression as a general optimization problem, EvoPress
identifies optimal compression profiles in a highly efficient manner, and generalizes
across diverse models and compression techniques. Via EvoPress, we achieve state-of-the-art
performance for dynamic compression of Llama, Mistral, and Phi models, setting
new benchmarks for structural pruning (block/layer dropping), unstructured sparsity,
and quantization with dynamic bitwidths.'

text: Modern deep neural networks exhibit heterogeneity across numerous layers of
various types such as residuals, multi-head attention, etc., due to varying structures
(dimensions, activation functions, etc.), distinct representation characteristics,
which impact predictions. We develop a general layer-wise quantization framework
with tight variance and code-length bounds, adapting to the heterogeneities over
the course of training. We then apply a new layer-wise quantization technique
within distributed variational inequalities (VIs), proposing a novel Quantized
Optimistic Dual Averaging (QODA) algorithm with adaptive learning rates, which
achieves competitive convergence rates for monotone VIs. We empirically show that
QODA achieves up to a 150% speedup over the baselines in end-to-end training time
for training Wasserstein GAN on 12+GPUs.

text: Probing the possibility of entanglement generation through gravity offers
a path to tackle the question of whether gravitational fields possess a quantum
mechanical nature. A potential realization necessitates systems with low-frequency
dynamics at an optimal mass scale, for which the microgram-to-milligram range
is a strong contender. Here, after refining a figure-of-merit for the problem,
we present a 1-milligram torsional pendulum operating at 18 Hz. We demonstrate
laser cooling its motion from room temperature to 240~microkelvins, surpassing
by over 20-fold the coldest motions attained for oscillators ranging from micrograms
to kilograms. We quantify and contrast the utility of the current approach with
other platforms. The achieved performance and large improvement potential highlight
milligram-scale torsional pendulums as a powerful platform for precision measurements
relevant to future studies at the quantum-gravity interface.

text: "We develop new attacks against the Evasive LWE family of assumptions, in
both the public and private-coin regime. To the best of our knowledge, ours are
the first attacks against Evasive LWE in the public-coin regime, for any instantiation
from the family. Our attacks are summarized below.\r\n\r\nPublic-Coin Attacks.\r\n1.The
recent work by Hseih, Lin and Luo [17] constructed the first Attribute Based Encryption
(ABE) for unbounded depth circuits by relying on the “circular” evasive LWE assumption.
This assumption has been popularly considered as a safe, public-coin instance
of Evasive LWE in contrast to its “private-coin” cousins (for instance, see [10,
11]).\r\nWe provide the first attack against this assumption, challenging the
widely held belief that this is a public-coin assumption.\r\n2. We demonstrate
a counter-example against vanilla public-coin evasive LWE by Wee [26] in an unnatural
parameter regime. Our attack crucially relies on the error in the pre-condition
being larger than the error in the post-condition, necessitating a refinement
of the assumption.\r\n\r\nPrivate-Coin Attacks.\r\n1. The recent work by Agrawal,
Kumari and Yamada [2] constructed the first functional encryption scheme for pseudorandom
functionalities (PRFE) and extended this to obfuscation for pseudorandom functionalities
(PRIO) [4] by relying on private-coin evasive LWE. We provide a new attack against
the assumption stated in the first posting of their work (subsequently refined
to avoid these attacks).\r\n2. The recent work by Branco et al. [8] (concurrently
to [4]) provides a construction of obfuscation for pseudorandom functionalities
by relying on private-coin evasive LWE. We provide a new attack against their
stated assumption.\r\n3. Branco et al. [8] showed that there exist contrived,
“self-referential” classes of pseudorandom functionalities for which pseudorandom
obfuscation cannot exist. We extend their techniques to develop an analogous result
for pseudorandom functional encryption.\r\n\r\nWhile Evasive LWE was developed
to specifically avoid “zeroizing attacks”, our work shows that in certain settings,
such attacks can still apply."
acknowledgement: "We thank Rachel Lin for expressing concern about the applicability
of “HJL-style” attacks [15] on the construction in [2] during a talk by the first
author about [2]. This was the starting point of the investigation that led us to
develop the attack in [5, Sec 4.1]. The first author also thanks Hoeteck Wee for
sharing his rationale for introducing evasive LWE.\r\nThe first author is supported
by the CyStar center of excellence, the VHAR faculty chair, and the C3iHub fellowship.
The third author thanks Cystar, IIT Madras, for supporting a visit to IIT Madras
during which the collaboration was initiated. The 4th author is partly supported
by JST CREST Grant Number JPMJCR22M1."

text: "CVRFs are PRFs that unify the properties of verifiable and constrained PRFs.
Since they were introduced concurrently by Fuchsbauer and Chandran-Raghuraman-Vinayagamurthy
in 2014, it has been an open problem to construct CVRFs without using heavy machinery
such as multilinear maps, obfuscation or functional encryption.\r\nWe solve this
problem by constructing a prefix-constrained verifiable PRF that does not rely
on the aforementioned assumptions. Essentially, our construction is a verifiable
version of the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Micali PRF. To achieve verifiability we leverage
degree-2 algebraic PRGs and bilinear groups. In short, proofs consist of intermediate
values of the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Micali PRF raised to the exponents of group
elements. These outputs can be verified using pairings since the underlying PRG
is of degree 2.\r\nWe prove the selective security of our construction under the
Decisional Square Diffie-Hellman (DSDH) assumption and a new assumption, which
we dub recursive Decisional Diffie-Hellman (recursive DDH).\r\nWe prove the soundness
of recursive DDH in the generic group model assuming the hardness of the Multivariate
Quadratic (MQ) problem and a new variant thereof, which we call MQ+.\r\nLast,
in terms of applications, we observe that our CVRF is also an exponent (C)VRF
in the plain model. Exponent VRFs were recently introduced by Boneh et al. (Eurocrypt’25)
with various applications to threshold cryptography in mind. In addition to that,
we give further applications for prefix-CVRFs in the blockchain setting, namely,
stake-pooling and compressible randomness beacons."
acknowledgement: "We thank Jonas Steinbach and Gertjan De Mulder for helpful discussions
on BIP 32, Dennis Hofheinz and Julia Kastner for helpful discussions on early prototypes
of our CVRF, and Klaus Kraßnitzer for running pairing benchmarks on his MacBook
Pro.\r\nChristoph U. Günther: This research was funded in whole or in part by the
