  text: "Context. 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."

  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: 'Planarian flatworms are known for their remarkable regenerative capacity;
    however, the precise intercellular communication mechanisms underlying this process
    remain unsolved. 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.'

  text: 'Cell migration in vivo is often guided by chemical signaling, i.e., chemotaxis.
    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.'

  text: This document is a blueprint for the formalization in Lean of the structural
    theory of regular matroids underlying Seymour's decomposition theorem. We present
    a modular account of regularity via totally unimodular representations, show that
    regularity is preserved under 1-, 2-, and 3-sums, and establish regularity for
    several special classes of matroids, including graphic, cographic, and the matroid
    R10. The blueprint records the logical structure of the proof, the precise dependencies
    between results, and their correspondence with Lean declarations. It is intended
    both as a guide for the ongoing formalization effort and as a human-readable reference
    for the organization of the proof.

  text: 'This preliminary study investigates the trace-element composition of ostracod
    shells (Ostracoda: Crustacea) as biogenic calcium carbonates in their role as
    environmental sentinels of pollution. Using high-resolution in-situ analysis,
    we compared two contrasting coastal systems: the highly urbanized seascape of
    metropolitan megacity Hong Kong (HKSAR) and the agriculturally dominated waters
    of rural retreat Jeju Island, Republic of Korea (ROK). The goal was to assess
    whether anthropogenic stress gradients affect trace element-to‑calcium ratios
    (E/Ca) in the carapaces of shallow-marine Neonesidea Maddocks, 1969 species. Hereby,
    the focus is laid on potential differences in the effects of extreme urbanization
    and extreme agriculturalization. We analyzed 12 trace elements commonly incorporated
    into ostracod shells using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
    Only Mn/Ca, Mg/Ca, and Ni/Ca ratios showed strong correlations with specific seawater
    physicochemical parameters. Notably, Mn/Ca differed significantly between the
    two sites, seemingly driven mainly by variations in nitrite nitrogen levels. This
    suggests that Mn incorporation is sensitive to pollution source, urban versus
    agricultural, though species-specific uptake effects cannot be excluded. No significant
    differences in elemental uptake were found between adult and A-1 juvenile stages
    of Neonesidea mutsuensis Ishizaki, 1961 or Neonesidea elegans (Brady, 1969), supporting
    the use of both age groups in environmental reconstructions and increasing potential
    sample yields. While remaining empirical and exploratory, our tentative findings
    suggest that ostracod geochemistry holds promise for marine pollution monitoring
    and cautiously supports the application of ostracod Mn/Ca ratios to reconstruct
    anthropogenic, particularly nitrogen-related, impacts in nearshore environments
    using sediment core records.'

  text: "This note proves that only a linear number of holes in a Cech complex of
    n points in R^d\r\ncan persist over an interval of constant length. Specifically,
    for any fixed dimension p <\r\nd and fixed ε > 0, the number of p-dimensional
    holes in the ˇ Cech complex at radius 1\r\nthat persist to radius 1+ε is bounded
    above by a constant times n,where n is the number\r\nof points. The proof uses
    a packing argument supported by relating theCˇ ech complexes\r\nwith corresponding
    snap complexes over the cells in a partition of space. The argument\r\nis self-contained
    and elementary, relying on geometric and combinatorial constructions\r\nrather
    than on the existing theory of sparse approximations or interleavings. The bound\r\nalso
    applies to Alpha complexes and Vietoris–Rips complexes. While our result can be\r\ninferred
    from prior work on sparse filtrations, to our knowledge, no explicit statement\r\nor
    direct proof of this bound appears in the literature."

  text: Rational design strategies for self-assembly require a detailed understanding
    of both the equilibrium state and the assembly kinetics. 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.

  text: Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that gain transmission advantages
    by distorting equal, Mendelian segregation. 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.

  text: Given a finite set of red and blue points in R^d, the MST-ratio is defined
    as the total length of the Euclidean minimum spanning trees of the red points
    and the blue points, divided by the length of the Euclidean minimum spanning tree
    of their union. 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.

  text: "To achieve fast recovery from link failures, most modern communication networks
    feature fully\r\ndecentralized fast re-routing mechanisms. 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). "

  text: "Runtime verification offers scalable solutions to improve the safety and
    reliability of systems. 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"

  text: Antiferromagnets (AFMs) hold promise for applications in digital logic. 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.

  text: The population of the little red dots (LRDs) may represent a key phase of
    supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. A cocoon of dense excited gas is emerging
    as a key component to explain the most striking properties of LRDs, such as strong
    Balmer breaks and Balmer absorption, as well as the weak IR emission. To dissect
    the structure of LRDs, we analyzed new deep JWST/NIRSpec PRISM and G395H spectra
    of FRESCO-GN-9771, one of the most luminous known LRDs at z = 5.5. These spectra
    reveal a strong Balmer break, broad Balmer lines, and very narrow [O III] emission.
    We revealed a forest of optical [Fe II] lines, which we argue are emerging from
    a dense (nH = 109 − 10 cm−3) warm layer with electron temperature Te ≈ 7000 K.
    The broad wings of Hα and Hβ have an exponential profile due to electron scattering
    in this same layer. The high Hα : Hβ : Hγ flux ratio of ≈10.4 : 1 : 0.14 is an
    indicator of collisional excitation and resonant scattering dominating the Balmer
    line emission. A narrow Hγ component, unseen in the other two Balmer lines due
    to outshining by the broad components, could trace the ISM of a normal host galaxy
    with a star formation rate of ∼5 M⊙ yr−1. The warm layer is mostly opaque to Balmer
    transitions, producing a characteristic P Cygni profile in the line centers suggesting
    outflowing motions. This same layer is responsible for shaping the Balmer break.
    The broadband spectrum can be reasonably matched by a simple photoionized slab
    model that dominates the λ > 1500 Å continuum and a low-mass (∼108 M⊙) galaxy
    that could explain the narrow [O III], with only a subdominant contribution to
    the UV continuum. Our findings indicate that Balmer lines are not directly tracing
    the gas kinematics near the SMBH and that the BH mass scale is likely much lower
    than virial indicators suggest.

  text: Galaxies exhibit a tight correlation between their star formation rate (SFR)
    and stellar mass over a wide redshift range known as the star-forming main sequence
    (SFMS). With JWST, the SFMS can now be investigated at high redshifts down to
    masses of ∼106 M⊙, using sensitive star formation rate tracers such as the Hα
    emission, which allow us to probe the variability in the star formation histories.
    We present inferences of the SFMS based on 316 Hα-selected galaxies at z ∼ 4 − 5
    with log(M★/M⊙) = 6.4 − 10.6. These galaxies were identified behind the Abell
    2744 lensing cluster with NIRCam grism spectroscopy from the survey All the Little
    Things (ALT). At face value, our data suggest a shallow slope in the SFMS (SFR ∝ M★α,
    with α = 0.45). After we corrected this for the Hα-flux limited nature of our
    survey using a Bayesian framework, the slope steepened to α = 0.59+0.10−0.09,
    whereas current data on their own are inconclusive on the mass dependence of the
    scatter. These slopes differ significantly from the slope of ∼1 that is expected
    from the observed evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function and from simulations.
    When we fixed the slope to α = 1, we found evidence for a decreasing intrinsic
    scatter with stellar mass (from ∼0.5 dex at M★ = 108 M⊙ to 0.4 dex at M★ = 1010
    M⊙). This difference might be explained by a (combination of) luminosity-dependent
    SFR(Hα) calibration, a population of (mini)-quenched low-mass galaxies, or underestimated
    dust attenuation in high-mass galaxies. Future deep observations with different
    facilities can quantify these processes, which will enable us to achieve better
    insights into the variability of the star formation histories.

  text: Stellar wind mass loss of massive stars is often assumed to depend on their
    metallicity Z. Therefore, evolutionary models predict that massive stars in lower-Z
    environments are able to retain more of their hydrogen-rich layers and evolve
    into brighter cool supergiants (cool SGs; Teff < 7 kK). Surprisingly, in galaxies
    in the metallicity range 0.2 ≲ Z/Z⊙ ≲ 1.5, previous studies have not found a metallicity
    dependence on the upper luminosity limit Lmax of cool SGs. Here, we add four galaxies
    to the sample studied for this purpose with data from the Hubble Space Telescope
    and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Observations of the extremely metal-poor
    dwarf galaxy I Zw 18 from JWST allow us to extend the studied metallicity range
    down to Z/Z⊙ ≈ 1/40. For cool SGs in all studied galaxies, including I Zw 18,
    we find a constant value of Lmax ≈ 105.6 L⊙, similar to literature results for
    0.2 ≲ Z/Z⊙ ≲ 1.5. In I Zw 18 and the other studied galaxies, the presence of Wolf-Rayet
    stars has been previously inferred. Although we cannot rule out that some of them
    become intermediate-temperature objects, this paints a picture in which evolved
    stars with L > 105.6 L⊙ burn helium as hot, helium-rich stars down to extremely
    low metallicity. We argue that metallicity-independent late-phase mass loss would
    be the most likely mechanism responsible for this. Regardless of the exact stripping
    mechanism (winds or, for example, binary interaction), for the Early Universe
    our results imply a limitation on black hole masses and a contribution of stars
    born with M ≳ 30 M⊙ to its surprisingly strong nitrogen enrichment. We propose
    a scenario in which single stars at low metallicity emit sufficiently hard ionizing
    radiation to produce He II and C IV lines. In this scenario, late-phase metallicity-independent
    mass loss produces hot, helium-rich stars. Due to the well-understood metallicity
    dependence on the radiation-driven winds of hot stars, a window of opportunity
    would open below 0.2 Z⊙, where self-stripped helium-rich stars can exist without
    dense Wolf-Rayet winds that absorb hard ionizing radiation.

  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.
