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"}],"ec_funded":1,"keyword":["Privacy-preserving verification","Runtime verification","Monitoring","Reactive functionalities","Cryptographic protocols"],"author":[{"first_name":"Mahyar","orcid":"0009-0005-0820-1696","id":"6e5417ba-5355-11ee-ae5a-94c2e510b26b","last_name":"Karimi","full_name":"Karimi, Mahyar"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-21401","oa_version":"Published Version","file_date_updated":"2026-03-10T15:20:09Z","page":"60","supervisor":[{"first_name":"Thomas A","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Henzinger"}],"project":[{"_id":"62781420-2b32-11ec-9570-8d9b63373d4d","grant_number":"101020093","name":"Vigilant Algorithmic Monitoring of Software","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"name":"Security and Privacy by Design for Complex Systems","grant_number":"F8512","_id":"34a4ce89-11ca-11ed-8bc3-8cc37fb6e11f"}],"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2791-4585"]},"citation":{"ista":"Karimi M. 2026.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Simultaneous optimization of assembly time and yield in programmable self-assembly","corr_author":"1","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","issue":"8","external_id":{"arxiv":["2510.07876"]},"acknowledgement":"The research was supported by the Gesellschaft für Forschungsförderung Niederösterreich under Project No. FTI23-G-011.","month":"02","date_updated":"2026-03-09T10:40:41Z","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"CaGo"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","year":"2026","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","day":"28","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"OA_place":"publisher","file":[{"file_size":6903766,"access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2026-03-09T10:38:55Z","checksum":"9bdb8870930e83edb973408da3038559","relation":"main_file","creator":"dernst","date_created":"2026-03-09T10:38:55Z","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"21415","file_name":"2026_JourChemPhysics_Huebl.pdf","success":1}],"article_number":"084904","status":"public","publication":"Journal of Chemical Physics","OA_type":"hybrid","date_created":"2026-03-08T23:01:45Z","arxiv":1,"ddc":["540"]},{"department":[{"_id":"JoFi"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"date_updated":"2026-04-14T09:04:08Z","month":"03","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank Wenchao Ge and Allison Carter for feedback on the manuscript.

Here, we explore the possibility of speeding up these interactions in 3D crystals via parametric amplification. For this purpose, we derive a general Hamiltonian for the parametric amplification of spin-motion coupling that is broadly applicable to normal modes with motion transverse to or along the spatial extent of the crystal. Unlike in lower-dimensional crystals, we find that the ability to faithfully (uniformly) amplify the spin-spin interactions in 3D crystals depends on the physical implementation of the spin-motion coupling. We consider the light-shift gate, and the so-called phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates, and we find that only the phase-sensitive MS gate can be faithfully amplified in general 3D crystals. We discuss a situation where nonuniform amplification can be advantageous. We also reconsider the effect of counter-rotating terms on parametric amplification and find that they are not as detrimental as previous studies suggest."}],"doi":"10.1103/h1m9-h3yw","has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Hawaldar, Samarth","last_name":"Hawaldar","id":"221708e1-1ff6-11ee-9fa6-85146607433e","orcid":"0000-0002-1965-4309","first_name":"Samarth"},{"last_name":"Nikhil","full_name":"Nikhil, N.","first_name":"N."},{"first_name":"Ana Maria","last_name":"Rey","full_name":"Rey, Ana Maria"},{"full_name":"Bollinger, John J.","last_name":"Bollinger","first_name":"John J."},{"first_name":"Athreya","full_name":"Shankar, Athreya","last_name":"Shankar"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2507.16741"]},"issue":"3","corr_author":"1","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1"},{"author":[{"first_name":"Claudia","full_name":"Di Cesare, Claudia","last_name":"Di Cesare","id":"2d002343-372f-11ef-98ec-a164d20427cb"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-2871-127X","first_name":"Jorryt J","last_name":"Matthee","id":"7439a258-f3c0-11ec-9501-9df22fe06720","full_name":"Matthee, Jorryt J"},{"first_name":"Rohan P.","last_name":"Naidu","full_name":"Naidu, Rohan P."},{"full_name":"Torralba, Alberto","last_name":"Torralba","first_name":"Alberto"},{"id":"1438afc8-1ff6-11ee-9fa6-cd4a75d66875","last_name":"Kotiwale","full_name":"Kotiwale, Gauri","first_name":"Gauri"},{"last_name":"Kramarenko","id":"9a9394cb-3200-11ee-973b-f5ba2a8b16e4","full_name":"Kramarenko, Ivan","first_name":"Ivan","orcid":"0000-0001-5346-6048"},{"full_name":"Blaizot, Jeremy","last_name":"Blaizot","first_name":"Jeremy"},{"last_name":"Rosdahl","full_name":"Rosdahl, Joakim","first_name":"Joakim"},{"full_name":"Leja, Joel","last_name":"Leja","first_name":"Joel"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8386-3546","first_name":"Edoardo","id":"4053390a-6b68-11ef-9828-a3b8adef8d0a","last_name":"Iani","full_name":"Iani, Edoardo"},{"last_name":"Adamo","full_name":"Adamo, Angela","first_name":"Angela"},{"full_name":"Covelo-Paz, Alba","last_name":"Covelo-Paz","first_name":"Alba"},{"first_name":"Lukas J.","full_name":"Furtak, Lukas J.","last_name":"Furtak"},{"first_name":"Kasper E.","last_name":"Heintz","full_name":"Heintz, Kasper E."},{"first_name":"Sara","last_name":"Mascia","id":"edaf889c-c7cd-11ef-ab1b-bb28c431bd29","full_name":"Mascia, Sara"},{"id":"aa14a535-50c9-11ef-b52e-e0c373d10148","last_name":"Navarrete","full_name":"Navarrete, Benjamín","first_name":"Benjamín"},{"last_name":"Oesch","full_name":"Oesch, Pascal A.","first_name":"Pascal A."},{"full_name":"Romano, Michael","last_name":"Romano","first_name":"Michael"},{"full_name":"Shivaei, Irene","last_name":"Shivaei","first_name":"Irene"},{"full_name":"Tacchella, Sandro","last_name":"Tacchella","first_name":"Sandro"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","doi":"10.1051/0004-6361/202557790","DOAJ_listed":"1","abstract":[{"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.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"The slope and scatter of the star-forming main sequence at z ∼ 5: Reconciling observations with simulations","corr_author":"1","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2510.19044"]},"volume":707,"article_processing_charge":"No","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0004-6361"],"eissn":["1432-0746"]},"date_published":"2026-03-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Di Cesare, Claudia, et al. “The Slope and Scatter of the Star-Forming Main Sequence at z ∼ 5: Reconciling Observations with Simulations.” <i>Astronomy &#38; Astrophysics</i>, vol. 707, A129, EDP Sciences, 2026, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202557790\">10.1051/0004-6361/202557790</a>.","ieee":"C.

Extending it into the nonlinear regime broadens its scope and can provide valuable insight into interactions among these modes. However, interpreting nonlinear spectra is challenging because resonant features in this case do not always reflect intrinsic material dynamics. Here, we study nonlinear THz-induced Kerr effect in a generic material LaAlO3. After detailed analysis of temporal oscillations of the Kerr signal, we identify an 𝐸𝑔 Raman mode at 1.1 THz excited through a two-photon process, while two additional peaks (0.86 and 0.36 THz) arise from phase matching of the near-infrared probe beam with co- and counterpropagating THz pump fields, mediated by off-resonant electronic hyperpolarizability. These results demonstrate the crucial role of kinematic effects in shaping THz-induced Kerr response and establish a framework for interpreting nonlinear spectroscopies in complex materials."}],"quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","corr_author":"1","issue":"10","acknowledgement":"Z. A. acknowledges support from the collaborative research project SFB Q-M&S funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF, Grant No. PR1050F8602).

Here, we show that specific but promiscuous short-range binding interactions make it possible to economically assemble linear filaments of user-defined length. Our approach leads to independent control over the mean and width of the filament size distribution and allows us to smoothly explore design trade-offs between assembly quality (spread in size) and cost (number of particle species). We employ a simple hierarchical assembly protocol to minimize assembly times and show that multiple stages of hierarchy make it possible to extend our approach to the assembly of higher-dimensional structures. Our work provides a conceptually simple solution to size control that is applicable to a broad range of systems, from DNA nanoparticles to supramolecular polymers and beyond.","lang":"eng"}],"project":[{"grant_number":"FTI23-G-011","name":"Dynamically reconfigurable self-assembly with triangular DNA-origami bricks","_id":"8dd93da8-16d5-11f0-9cad-d2c70200d9a5"}],"intvolume":"         8","oa_version":"Published Version","file_date_updated":"2026-03-23T15:53:29Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes","volume":8,"_id":"21482","publisher":"American Physical Society","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2643-1564"]},"citation":{"mla":"Hübl, Maximilian, and Carl Peter Goodrich. “Entropic Size Control of Self-Assembled Filaments.” <i>Physical Review Research</i>, vol. 8, L012054, American Physical Society, 2026, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1103/68rs-3qgn\">10.1103/68rs-3qgn</a>.","short":"M.

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."}],"title":"Imaging and genetic toolbox to study Arabidopsis embryogenesis","doi":"10.1111/nph.71072","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.71072"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Babic","id":"db566d23-f6e0-11ea-865d-e6f270e968e7","full_name":"Babic, David","first_name":"David"},{"full_name":"Zupunski, Milan","id":"f6a21fce-573e-11f0-a150-a8d96aee2539","last_name":"Zupunski","first_name":"Milan"},{"last_name":"Friml","id":"4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Friml, Jiří","first_name":"Jiří","orcid":"0000-0002-8302-7596"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"21483","publisher":"Wiley","citation":{"chicago":"Babic, David, Milan Zupunski, and Jiří Friml. “Imaging and Genetic Toolbox to Study Arabidopsis Embryogenesis.” <i>New Phytologist</i>.

Here we show that adventitious carbonaceous molecules adsorbed from the environment are the symmetry-breaking factor in same-material oxide contact electrification (CE). We use acoustic levitation to measure charge exchange between a sphere and a plate composed of identical amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2). Although charging polarity is random for co-prepared samples, we control it with baking or plasma treatment. Observing the charge-exchange relaxation afterwards, we see dynamics over a timescale of hours and connect this directly to the presence of adventitious carbon with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, low-energy ion scattering and infrared spectroscopy. Going further, we confirm that adventitious carbon can even determine charge exchange among different oxides. Our results identify the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes insulating oxides to exchange charge in settings ranging from desert sands4 to volcanic plumes5,6, while simultaneously highlighting an overlooked factor in CE more broadly.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Adventitious carbon breaks symmetry in oxide contact electrification","ec_funded":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"id":"0C5FDA4A-9CF6-11E9-8939-FF05E6697425","last_name":"Grosjean","full_name":"Grosjean, Galien M","orcid":"0000-0001-5154-417X","first_name":"Galien M"},{"first_name":"Markus","full_name":"Ostermann, Markus","last_name":"Ostermann"},{"first_name":"Markus","full_name":"Sauer, Markus","last_name":"Sauer"},{"first_name":"Michael","last_name":"Hahn","full_name":"Hahn, Michael"},{"first_name":"Christian M.","last_name":"Pichler","full_name":"Pichler, Christian M."},{"first_name":"Florian","last_name":"Fahrnberger","full_name":"Fahrnberger, Florian"},{"id":"6313aec0-15b2-11ec-abd3-ed67d16139af","last_name":"Pertl","full_name":"Pertl, Felix","orcid":"0000-0003-0463-5794","first_name":"Felix"},{"full_name":"Balazs, Daniel","last_name":"Balazs","id":"302BADF6-85FC-11EA-9E3B-B9493DDC885E","first_name":"Daniel","orcid":"0000-0001-7597-043X"},{"first_name":"Mason M.","last_name":"Link","full_name":"Link, Mason M."},{"full_name":"Kim, Seong H.","last_name":"Kim","first_name":"Seong H."},{"first_name":"Devin L.","full_name":"Schrader, Devin L.","last_name":"Schrader"},{"first_name":"Adriana","full_name":"Blanco, Adriana","last_name":"Blanco"},{"full_name":"Gracia, Francisco","last_name":"Gracia","first_name":"Francisco"},{"first_name":"Nicolás","last_name":"Mujica","full_name":"Mujica, Nicolás"},{"full_name":"Waitukaitis, Scott R","last_name":"Waitukaitis","id":"3A1FFC16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2299-3176","first_name":"Scott R"}],"doi":"10.1038/s41586-025-10088-w"},{"quality_controlled":"1","corr_author":"1","abstract":[{"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.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Causes and consequences of sex-chromosome turnovers in Diptera","DOAJ_listed":"1","doi":"10.1093/evlett/qrag003","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrag003","open_access":"1"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-1253-6297","first_name":"Lorena Alexandra","full_name":"Layana Franco, Lorena Alexandra","id":"02814589-eb8f-11eb-b029-a70074f3f18f","last_name":"Layana Franco"},{"id":"4E099E4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Toups","full_name":"Toups, Melissa A","first_name":"Melissa A","orcid":"0000-0002-9752-7380"},{"last_name":"Vicoso","id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Vicoso, Beatriz","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306","first_name":"Beatriz"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","project":[{"_id":"8ed82125-16d5-11f0-9cad-fbcae312235b","name":"Sex chromosomes in evolution and development","grant_number":"PAT 8748323"}],"_id":"21486","date_published":"2026-03-12T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2056-3744"]},"citation":{"ista":"Layana Franco LA, Toups MA, Vicoso B. 2026.

While Bitcoin,\r\nbased on Proof-of-Work (PoW), was the first protocol in this model, significant\r\nresearch has focused on permissionless protocols using alternative physical resources,\r\nspecifically Proof-of-Space (PoSpace) and Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs). This\r\nthesis investigates the theoretical limits and design space of longest-chain protocols in\r\nthe fully permissionless and dynamically available settings using these three resources.\r\nFirst, we address the feasibility of blockchains relying solely on storage as a resource.\r\nWe prove a fundamental impossibility result: there exists no secure longest-chain\r\nprotocol based exclusively on Proof-of-Space in the fully permissionless or dynamically\r\navailable settings. Further, we quantify the adversarial capabilities required to execute\r\na double-spend attack. Our result formally justifies the necessity of coupling PoSpace\r\nwith time-dependent primitives (such as VDFs) or to move to less permissive settings\r\n(quasi-permissionless or permissioned) to ensure security.\r\nSecond, we generalize Nakamoto-like heaviest chain consensus to protocols utilizing\r\ncombinations of multiple physical resources. We analyze chain selection rules governed\r\nby a weight function Γ(S, V,W), which assigns weight to blocks based on recorded\r\nSpace (S), VDF speed (V ), and Work (W). We provide a complete classification\r\nof secure weight functions, proving that a weight function is secure against private\r\ndouble-spend attacks if and only if it is homogeneous in the timed resources (V,W)\r\nand sub-homogeneous in S.

How neuronal left-right asymmetry is initiated and integrated into a bilaterally symmetrical ground pattern is poorly understood. Here, we show that the directional asymmetry of a Drosophila central brain circuit originates from axonal interactions of two types of bilateral pioneer neurons. Subsequent recruitment of neighboring neurons into the asymmetric neuropil primordium results in hemisphere-specific microcircuits. Circuit lateralization requires dynamic expression of the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin 2 to maintain structural plasticity in axonal remodeling. Reduced circuit asymmetry following cell type–specific Fasciclin 2 manipulation affects adult brain function. These results reveal an unexpected degree of developmental plasticity of late-born Drosophila neurons in the formation of a circuit node via the lateralized recruitment of symmetric circuit components."}],"title":"Sequential formation of Drosophila circuit asymmetry via prolonged structural plasticity","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","issue":"13","volume":12,"article_processing_charge":"Yes","publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","date_published":"2026-03-27T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2375-2548"]},"citation":{"ama":"Markovitsch JW, Mitić D, Del Pilar Jiménez García A, et al.

An objective is a set of runs (or infinite trajectories) of the RMDP, and the value for an objective is the maximal probability that the agent can guarantee against the adversarial environment. We consider (a) reachability objectives, where given a target set of states, the goal is to eventually arrive at one of them; and (b) parity objectives, which are a canonical representation for ω-regular objectives. The qualitative analysis problem asks whether the objective can be ensured with probability 1. In this work, we study the qualitative problem for reachability and parity objectives on RMDPs without making any assumption over the structures of the RMDPs, e.g., unichain or aperiodic. Our contributions are twofold. We first present efficient algorithms with oracle access to uncertainty sets that solve qualitative problems of reachability and parity objectives. We then report experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of our oracle-based approach on classical RMDP examples from the literature scaling up to thousands of states."}],"ec_funded":1,"doi":"10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40931","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.04539"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Ali","full_name":"Asadi, Ali","id":"02d96aae-000e-11ec-b801-cadd0a5eefbb","last_name":"Asadi"},{"id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Chatterjee","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","first_name":"Krishnendu","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X"},{"full_name":"Kafshdar Goharshadi, Ehsan","id":"103b4fa0-896a-11ed-bdf8-87b697bef40d","last_name":"Kafshdar Goharshadi","orcid":"0000-0002-8595-0587","first_name":"Ehsan"},{"orcid":"0009-0007-5253-9170","first_name":"Mehrdad","full_name":"Karrabi, Mehrdad","id":"67638922-f394-11eb-9cf6-f20423e08757","last_name":"Karrabi"},{"full_name":"Shafiee, Ali","last_name":"Shafiee","id":"2783031a-7378-11f0-b2d0-f17f1db2ebad","first_name":"Ali"}]},{"project":[{"grant_number":"101045083","name":"Computational Discovery of Numerical Algorithms for Animation and Simulation of Natural Phenomena","_id":"34bc2376-11ca-11ed-8bc3-9a3b3961a088"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-04-28T10:53:27Z","oa_version":"Preprint","article_processing_charge":"No","citation":{"ama":"Chern A, Ishida S.

How spinal circuits and their cell types evolved to support this transition remains unclear. We leverage frog metamorphosis, which recapitulates this transition within a single organism, to define how spinal circuits generate aquatic versus terrestrial motor patterns. At swim stages, spinal architecture is uniform, with a transcriptionally and anatomically homogeneous motor and interneurons. As limbs develop and their movement complexifies, spinal circuits expand in neuron number and subtype diversity. This expansion is most pronounced for V1 inhibitory neurons, which increase ∼70-fold and diversify into transcriptionally distinct subtypes. Disrupting transcription factors defining emerging motor and V1 populations reveals molecular segregation between swim and limb circuits, highlighting the role of subtype diversity in motor coordination. A multifold increase in inhibitory neuron diversity thus underlies the tail-to-limb locomotor transition, providing a framework for spinal circuit adaptation during vertebrate evolution."}],"project":[{"_id":"ebb66355-77a9-11ec-83b8-b8ac210a4dae","name":"Development and Evolution of Tetrapod Motor Circuits","grant_number":"101041551"},{"name":"Stem Cell Modulation in Neural Development and Regeneration/ P14-Swim-to-limb transition: cell type to connection diversity","grant_number":"F7814","_id":"8da85f50-16d5-11f0-9cad-eab8b0ff6c9e"},{"name":"Tools for automation and feedback microscopy","grant_number":"CZI01","_id":"c08e9ad1-5a5b-11eb-8a69-9d1cf3b07473"},{"name":"Development of V1 interneuron diversity during swim-to-walk transition of Xenopus metamorphosis","grant_number":"FTI21-D-046","_id":"bd73af52-d553-11ed-ba76-912049f0ac7a"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","intvolume":"        45","file_date_updated":"2026-05-04T12:20:10Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes","volume":45,"_id":"21746","publisher":"Elsevier","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2639-1856"],"eissn":["2211-1247"]},"citation":{"ieee":"D.

In multicellular cyanobacteria such as Anabaena sp., we found that a chromosomally encoded ParMR system has evolved into a cytoskeletal system named CorMR with a function in cell shape control rather than DNA segregation. Live-cell imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and cryo–electron microscopy revealed that CorM formed dynamically unstable, antiparallel double-stranded filaments that were recruited to the membrane by CorR through an amphipathic helix conserved in multicellular cyanobacteria. CorMR filaments were regulated by MinC, which excluded them from the poles and division plane. Comparative genomics indicated that the repurposing of ParMR and Min systems coevolved with cyanobacterial multicellularity, highlighting the evolutionary plasticity of cytoskeletal systems in bacteria."}],"ec_funded":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Springstein","id":"b4eb62ef-ac72-11ed-9503-ed3b4d66c083","full_name":"Springstein, Benjamin L","orcid":"0000-0002-3461-5391","first_name":"Benjamin L"},{"id":"305ab18b-dc7d-11ea-9b2f-b58195228ea2","last_name":"Javoor","full_name":"Javoor, Manjunath","orcid":"0000-0003-2311-2112","first_name":"Manjunath"},{"full_name":"Megrian, Daniela","last_name":"Megrian","first_name":"Daniela"},{"first_name":"Roman","full_name":"Hajdu, Roman","id":"ffab949d-133f-11ed-8f02-94de21ace503","last_name":"Hajdu"},{"full_name":"Hanke, Dustin M.","last_name":"Hanke","first_name":"Dustin M."},{"full_name":"Zens, Bettina","id":"45FD126C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Zens","first_name":"Bettina","orcid":"0000-0002-9561-1239"},{"last_name":"Weiss","full_name":"Weiss, Gregor L.","first_name":"Gregor L."},{"orcid":"0000-0003-4790-8078","first_name":"Florian Km","full_name":"Schur, Florian Km","last_name":"Schur","id":"48AD8942-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Martin","orcid":"0000-0001-7309-9724","full_name":"Loose, Martin","id":"462D4284-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Loose"}],"doi":"10.1126/science.aea6343","external_id":{"pmid":["41990175"]},"quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","corr_author":"1","issue":"6795","pmid":1,"department":[{"_id":"MaLo"},{"_id":"FlSc"},{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank all members of the Loose lab at ISTA for helpful discussions; M.

In this study, we developed a method of live imaging of apoplastic ROS at the root surface. Distinct signals, including auxin, extracellular adenosine triphosphate, and rapid alkalinization factor 1 peptide, induce cytosolic calcium transients and apoplastic ROS bursts. Genetic and optogenetic manipulations of Arabidopsis identified calcium transients as necessary and sufficient for ROS bursts through activation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases RBOHC and RBOHF. Apoplastic ROS bursts are not required, but they do limit gravity-induced root bending. Root bending is sensed by the stretch-activated calcium channel MCA1, leading to NADPH oxidase activation. The resulting ROS production stiffens cell walls to facilitate soil penetration. Apoplastic ROS thus provides a means to balance tissue flexibility and stiffness to navigate soil.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals for soil navigation","doi":"10.1126/science.adu8197","author":[{"full_name":"Kulich, Ivan","id":"57a1567c-8314-11eb-9063-c9ddc3451a54","last_name":"Kulich","first_name":"Ivan"},{"first_name":"Dmitrii","full_name":"Vladimirtsev, Dmitrii","id":"60466724-5355-11ee-ae5a-fa55e8f99c3d","last_name":"Vladimirtsev"},{"first_name":"Marek","full_name":"Randuch, Marek","last_name":"Randuch","id":"6ac4636d-15b2-11ec-abd3-fb8df79972ae"},{"full_name":"Gao, Shiqiang","last_name":"Gao","first_name":"Shiqiang"},{"last_name":"Citterico","full_name":"Citterico, Matteo","first_name":"Matteo"},{"last_name":"Konrad","full_name":"Konrad, Kai R.","first_name":"Kai R."},{"full_name":"Nagel, Georg","last_name":"Nagel","first_name":"Georg"},{"full_name":"Wrzaczek, Michael","last_name":"Wrzaczek","first_name":"Michael"},{"full_name":"Cascaro, Léa","last_name":"Cascaro","first_name":"Léa"},{"full_name":"Vinet, Pauline","last_name":"Vinet","first_name":"Pauline"},{"last_name":"Durand","full_name":"Durand, Pauline","first_name":"Pauline"},{"first_name":"Atef","full_name":"Asnacios, Atef","last_name":"Asnacios"},{"full_name":"Verma, Lokesh","last_name":"Verma","first_name":"Lokesh"},{"first_name":"Malcolm J.","last_name":"Bennett","full_name":"Bennett, Malcolm J."},{"last_name":"Pandey","full_name":"Pandey, Bipin K.","first_name":"Bipin K."},{"id":"4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Friml","full_name":"Friml, Jiří","first_name":"Jiří","orcid":"0000-0002-8302-7596"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","external_id":{"pmid":["41990180"]},"issue":"6795","scopus_import":"1","corr_author":"1","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"21763","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"LifeSc"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"date_published":"2026-04-16T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Kulich I, Vladimirtsev D, Randuch M, et al.

We demonstrate that the dispersion relation ω(k), obtained from dynamical density functional theory for the uniform density system, is a highly versatile tool for predicting where in the phase diagram complex crystals form. The sign of ω(k) determines whether density modes with wave number k grow or decay over time. We demonstrate the predictive power by investigating the complex phase behavior of particles interacting via core-shoulder pair potentials. With complementary Monte Carlo simulations, we show that regions of the phase diagram where ωðkÞ has one or several unstable (growing) wave numbers are also where crystalline phases occur. Going further, by tuning these\r\nunstable wave numbers via the interaction-potential and state-point parameters, we design systems with quasicrystals in the phase diagram. We identify a system with a certain shoulder range exhibiting at least ten different phases. Our general approach accelerates considerably the mapping of complex phase diagrams, crucial for the design of new materials."}],"title":"Navigating complex phase diagrams in soft matter systems","file_date_updated":"2026-04-28T06:58:40Z","intvolume":"       136","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":136,"article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","date_published":"2026-04-10T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0031-9007"],"eissn":["1079-7114"]},"citation":{"ista":"Wassermair M, Kahl G, Roth R, Archer AJ. 2026.

We report a modular, robust, and versatile Buchwald–Hartwig amination protocol that enables the rapid synthesis of bipyridine, phenanthroline, terpyridine, and pybox ligands bearing dialkylamine, diarylamine, and heteroaromatic N-substituents. These conditions streamline ligand library synthesis and will facilitate systematic studies in catalysis and related applications."}],"title":"Facile access to N-substituted pyridyl ligands","issue":"9","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","corr_author":"1"}]
