In the neocortex, top–down projections primarily target layer 1, which contains NDNF (neuron-derived neurotrophic factor)-expressing interneurons and the dendrites of pyramidal cells. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that NDNF interneurons shape cortical computations in an unconventional, layer-specific way, by exerting presynaptic inhibition on synapses in layer 1 while leaving synapses in deeper layers unaffected. We first confirm experimentally that in the auditory cortex, synapses from somatostatin-expressing (SOM) onto NDNF neurons are indeed modulated by ambient Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Shifting to a computational model, we then show that this mechanism introduces a distinct mutual inhibition motif between NDNF interneurons and the synaptic outputs of SOM interneurons. This motif can control inhibition in a layer-specific way and introduces competition between NDNF and SOM interneurons for dendritic inhibition onto pyramidal cells on different timescales. NDNF interneurons can thereby control cortical information flow by redistributing dendritic inhibition from fast to slow timescales and by gating different sources of dendritic inhibition.},

This platform combines a coplanar-gated field-effect transistor (FET) architecture with grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance (SPR), yielding an integrated disposable sensor chip prepared by nanoimprint and maskless photolithography techniques. The sensor chip design is suitable for scalable production and relies on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), serving as the FET’s semiconductor material for the electronic readout, and a metallic gate electrode surface that is corrugated with a multi-diffractive structure for optical probing with resonantly excited surface plasmons. Together with its integration in a compact instrumentation this results in a form factor optimized solution for dual-mode investigations without compromising the optical or electronic sensor performance. A poly-L-lysine (PLL) – based thin linker layer was deployed at the sensor surface to covalently attach azide-conjugated biomolecules by using incorporated “clickable” dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) moieties. Interestingly, the dual-mode measurements allow elucidating the role of the globular nature of the PLL chains when increasing the density of DBCO attached to their backbone, leading to PLL folding and internalization of DBCO moieties, and thus reducing the coupling yield for the used DNA oligomers. We envision that this platform can be employed to studying a range of other biointerface architectures and biomolecular interaction phenomena, which are inherently tied to mass and charge density variations.},

  abstract     = {Differentially private weighted prefix sum under continual observation is a crucial component in the production-level deployment of private next-word prediction for Gboard, which, according to Google, has over a billion users. More specifically, Google uses a differentially private mechanism to sum weighted gradients in its private follow-the-regularized leader algorithm. Apart from efficiency, the additive error of the private mechanism is crucial as multiplied with the square root of the model’s dimension d (with d ranging up to 10 trillion, for example, Switch Transformers or M6-10T), it determines the accuracy of the learning system. So, any improvement in leading constant matters significantly in practice. In this paper, we show a novel connection between mechanisms for continual weighted prefix sum and a concept in representation theory known as the group matrix introduced in correspondence between Dedekind and Frobenius (Sitzungsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1897) and generalized by Schur (Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 1904). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of group algebra in the analysis of differentially private algorithms. Using this connection, we analyze a class of matrix norms known as factorization norms that give upper and lower bounds for the additive error under general ℓp-norms of the matrix mechanism. This allows us to give 1. the first efficient factorization that matches the best-known non-constructive upper bound on the factorization norm by Mathias (SIAM Journal of Matrix Analysis and Applications, 1993) for the matrix used in Google’s deployment, and also improves on the previous best-known constructive bound of Fichtenberger, Henzinger, and Upadhyay (ICML 2023) and Henzinger, Upadhyay, and Upadhyay (SODA 2023); thereby, partially resolving an open question in operator theory, 2. the first upper bound on the additive error for a large class of weight functions for weighted prefix sum problems, including the sliding window matrix (Bolot, Fawaz, Muthukrishnan, Nikolov, and Taft (ICDT 2013). We also improve the bound on factorizing the striped matrix used for outputting a synthetic graph that approximates all cuts (Fichtenberger, Henzinger, and Upadhyay (ICML 2023)); 3. a general improved upper bound on the factorization norms that depend on algebraic properties of the weighted sum matrices and that applies to a more general class of weighting functions than the ones considered in Henzinger, Upadhyay, and Upadhyay (SODA 2024). Using the known connection between these factorization norms and the ℓp-error of continual weighted sum, we give an upper bound on the ℓp-error for the continual weighted sum problem for p ≥ 2.},

 We describe the expected behaviour of the class, in a ring of motivic integration, of the moduli space of sections of given numerical class. Up to an adequate normalisation, it should converge, when the class of the sections goes arbitrarily far from the boundary of the dual of the effective cone, to an effective element given by a motivic Euler product. Such a principle can be seen as an analogue for rational curves of the Batyrev-Manin-Peyre principle for rational points.
 The central tool of this article is the property of equidistribution of curves. We show that this notion does not depend on the choice of a model of the generic fibre, and that equidistribution of curves holds for smooth projective split toric varieties. As an application, we study the Batyrev-Manin-Peyre principle for curves on a certain kind of twisted products.},

Even if the problem is NP-complete in the worst case, a rapidly growing literature – after adding suitable distributional assumptions – has established finite sample identification of two-layer networks with a number of neurons (math. formula), D being the input dimension. For the range (math. formula) the problem becomes harder, and truly little is known for networks parametrized by biases as well. This paper fills the gap by providing efficient algorithms and rigorous theoretical guarantees of finite sample identification for such wider shallow networks with biases. Our approach is based on a two-step pipeline: first, we recover the direction of the weights, by exploiting second order information; next, we identify the signs by suitable algebraic evaluations, and we recover the biases by empirical risk minimization via gradient descent. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.},

The lensed clumps present magnifications ranging between μ = 1.8 and μ = 300. We perform simultaneous size-photometry estimates in 20 JWST/NIRCam median and broad-band filters from 0.7 to 5 μm.
Spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting analyses enable us to recover the physical properties of the clumps. The majority of the clumps are spatially resolved and have effective radii in the range Reff = 10–700 pc. We restrict this first study to the 1751 post-reionization era clumps with redshift < 5.5. We find a significant evolution of the average clump ages, star formation rates (SFRs), SFR surface densities, and metallicity with increasing redshift, while median stellar mass and stellar mass surface densities are similar in the probed redshift range. We observe a strong correlation between the clump properties and the properties of their host galaxies, with more massive galaxies hosting more massive and older clumps. We find that clumps closer to their host galactic centre are on average more massive, while their ages do not show clear sign of migration. We find that clumps at cosmic noon sample the upper-mass end of the mass function to higher masses than at z > 3, reflecting the rapid increase towards the peak of the cosmic star formation history. We conclude that the results achieved over the studied redshift range are in agreement with expectation of in situ clump formation scenario from large-scale disc fragmentation. },

  abstract     = {Modern experimental methods enable the creation of self-assembly building blocks with tunable interactions, but optimally exploiting this tunability for the self-assembly of desired structures remains an important challenge. Many studies of this inverse problem start with the so-called fully addressable limit, where every particle in a target structure is different. This leads to clear design principles that often result in high assembly yield, but it is not a scalable approach—at some point, one must grapple with “reusing” building blocks, which lowers the degree of addressability and may cause a multitude of off-target structures to form, complicating the design process. Here, we solve a key obstacle preventing robust inverse design in the “semiaddressable regime” by developing a highly efficient algorithm that enumerates all structures that can be formed from a given set of building blocks. By combining this with established partition-function-based yield calculations, we show that it is almost always possible to find economical semiaddressable designs where the entropic gain from reusing building blocks outweighs the presence of off-target structures and even increases the yield of the target. Thus, not only does our enumeration algorithm enable robust and scalable inverse design in the semiaddressable regime, our results demonstrate that it is possible to operate in this regime while maintaining the level of control often associated with full addressability.},

  abstract     = {Whether or not the neuron emits a spike in response to stimulation by an excitatory current pulse is determined by a strength-duration curve (SDC) for the pulse parameters. The SDC is a dependence of the minimal pulse amplitude required to elicit the spiking response on either the pulse duration or its decay time. Excitatory neurons affect the others through pulses of excitatory postsynaptic current. A simple yet plausible approximation for the time course of such a pulse is the alpha function, with linear rise at the start and exponential decay at the end. However, an exact analytical SDC for this case is hitherto not known, even for the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron, the simplest spiking neuron model used in practice. We have obtained general SDC equations for the LIF neuron. Using the Lambert W function — a widely-implemented special function, we have found the exact analytical SDC for the spiking response of the LIF neuron stimulated by an excitatory current pulse in the form of the alpha function. To compare results in a unified way, we have also derived the analytical SDCs for (i) rectangular pulse, (ii) ascending ramp pulse, and (iii) instantly rising and exponentially decaying pulse. In the limit of no leakage, we show that the SDC is reduced to the classical hyperbola for all considered cases.},

  abstract     = {Context. The hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Lyα) line, the brightest rest-frame ultraviolet line of high-redshift galaxies, exhibits a large variety of shapes, which is due to factors at different scales, from the interstellar medium to the intergalactic medium (IGM).
Aims. The aim of this work is to provide a systematic inventory and classification of the spectral shapes of Lyα emission lines to better understand the general population of high-redshift Lyα emitting galaxies (LAEs).
Methods. Using the unprecedentedly deep data from the MUSE eXtremely Deep Field (MXDF; up to 140 hour exposure time), we selected 477 galaxies observed in the ∼2.8−6.6 redshift range, 15 of which have a systemic redshift from nebular lines. We developed a method to classify Lyα emission lines in four spectral and three spatial categories by combining a pure spectral analysis with a narrow-band image analysis. We measured spectral properties, such as the peak separation and the blue-to-total flux ratio for the double-peaked galaxies.
Results. To ensure a robust sample for statistical analysis, we define two unbiased subsets, inclusive and restrictive, by applying thresholds for signal-to-noise ratio, peak separation, and Lyα luminosity, yielding a final unbiased sample of 206 galaxies. Our analysis reveals that between 32% and 51% of the galaxies exhibit double-peaked profiles, with peak separations ranging from 150 km s−1 to nearly 1600 km s−1. The fraction of double-peaked galaxies seems to evolve dependently with the Lyα luminosity, while we do not see a severe decrease in this fraction with redshift, which is expected given the IGM attenuation at high redshift. An artificial increase in the number of double-peaked galaxies at the highest redshifts may cause the observation of a plateau instead of a decrease. A notable number of these double-peaked profiles show blue-dominated spectra, suggesting unique gas dynamics and inflow characteristics in some high-redshift galaxies. The consequent fraction of blue-dominated spectra needs to be confirmed by obtaining new systemic redshift measurements. Among the double-peaked galaxies, 4% are spurious detections, that is, the blue and red peaks do not come from the same spatial location. Around 20% out of the 477 sources of the parent sample lie in a complex environment, meaning there are other clumps or galaxies at the same redshift within a distance of 30 kpc.
Conclusions. Our results suggest that the double-peaked LAE fraction may trace the evolution of IGM attenuation, but the faintest galaxies must be observed at high redshift. We also need more data to confirm the trend seen at low redshift. In addition, it is crucial to obtain secure systemic redshifts for LAEs to better constrain the nature of the Lyα double-peaked lines. Statistical samples of double-peaked and triple-peaked galaxies are a promising probe of the evolution of the physical properties of galaxies across cosmic time.},

  abstract     = {Context. Recent observations suggest a significant and rapid buildup of dust in galaxies at high redshift (z > 4); this presents new challenges to our understanding of galaxy formation in the early Universe. Although our understanding of the physics of dust production and destruction in a galaxy’s interstellar medium (ISM) is improving, investigating the baryonic processes in the early universe remains a complex task owing to the inherent degeneracies in cosmological simulations and chemical evolution models.
Aims. In this work we characterized the evolution of 98 z ∼ 5 star-forming galaxies observed as part of the ALMA Large Program ALPINE by constraining the physical processes underpinning the gas and dust production, consumption, and destruction in their ISM.
Methods. We made use of chemical evolution models to simultaneously reproduce the observed dust and gas content of our galaxies, obtained respectively from spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting and ionized carbon measurements. For each galaxy we constrained the initial gas mass, gas inflows and outflows, and efficiencies of dust growth and destruction. We tested these models with both the canonical Chabrier and a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF); the latter allowed rapid dust production on shorter timescales.
Results. We successfully reproduced the gas and dust content in most of the older galaxies (≳600 Myr) regardless of the assumed IMF, predicting dust production primarily through Type II supernovae (SNe) and no dust growth in the ISM, as well as moderate inflow of primordial gas. In the case of intermediate-age galaxies (300−600 Myr), we reproduced the gas and dust content through Type II SNe and dust growth in ISM, though we observed an overprediction of dust mass in older galaxies, potentially indicating an unaccounted dust destruction mechanism and/or an overestimation of the observed dust masses. The number of young galaxies (≲300 Myr) reproduced, increases for models assuming top-heavy IMF but with maximal prescriptions of dust production. Galactic outflows are required (up to a mass-loading factor of 2) to reproduce the observed gas and dust mass, and to recover the decreasing trend of gas and dust over stellar mass with age. Assuming the Chabrier IMF, models are able to reproduce ∼65% of the total sample, while with top-heavy IMF the fraction increases to ∼93%, alleviating the tension between the observations and the models. Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will allow us to remove degeneracies in the diverse intrinsic properties of these galaxies (e.g., star formation histories and metallicity), thereby refining our models.},

A chemical reaction involving horseradish peroxidase, ABTS and H2O2 in the specimens produces a photothermal agent—ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) free radical, which triggers the heat fluctuations at the TE sensor through the photo-thermal effect, eventually enabling the sensing of H2O2. Consequently, the constructed sensor can achieve a detection limit of 0.26 μM by a three-leg TE device design. Further investigations suggest that the application of our TE sensor can be extended in testing H2O2 in beverages (including milk, soda water, and lemonade) and evaluating the load of bacterial pathogens relevant to dental diseases and infections including Streptococcus sanguinis and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with high analytical accuracy. This strategy utilizes the combination of high thermoelectric performance with chemical reactions to realize a straightforward and accurate biomarker detection method, making it suitable for applications in medical diagnostics, personalized health monitoring, and the food industry.},

  abstract     = {For accurate perception and motor control, an animal must distinguish between sensory experiences elicited by external stimuli and those elicited by its own actions. The diversity of behaviors and their complex influences on the senses make this distinction challenging. Here, we uncover an action–cue hub that coordinates motor commands with visual processing in the brain’s first visual relay. We show that the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) acts as a corollary discharge center, integrating visual translational optic flow signals with motor copies from saccades, locomotion and pupil dynamics. The vLGN relays these signals to correct action-specific visual distortions and to refine perception, as shown for the superior colliculus and in a depth-estimation task. Simultaneously, brain-wide vLGN projections drive corrective actions necessary for accurate visuomotor control. Our results reveal an extended corollary discharge architecture that refines early visual transformations and coordinates actions via a distributed hub-and-spoke network to enable visual perception during action.},

  abstract     = {We examine mesoscale convective organisation in the tropical western Pacific using a multivariate analysis of column humidity, precipitation and sea surface temperature (SST) observations. We demonstrate that in boreal summer and autumn, convection remains spatially random despite radiative-feedbacks acting to aggregate convection, which we attribute to the high density of convective moisture sources and the role of wind shear. Instead, in winter and spring, a weak meridional SST gradient exists and convection is usually clustered over the regions of warmer SSTs, with significant meridional humidity gradients. However, this is sporadically interrupted by episodes of convection migration to the coldest SSTs and limited spatial humidity variance. These episodes are the result of westward propagating equatorial waves, which remove meridional humidity gradients. It appears that the drivers of mesoscale convective clustering and humidity variability in the Pacific warm pool are the SST gradients, shear, and equatorial wave dynamics.},

  abstract     = {Impurity motion in a many-body environment has been a central issue in the field of low-temperature physics for decades. In bosonic quantum fluids, the onset of a drag force experienced by point-like objects is due to collective environment excitations, driven by the exchange of linear momentum between the impurity and the many-body bath. In this work we consider a rotating impurity, with the aim of exploring how angular momentum is exchanged with the surrounding bosonic environment. In order to elucidate these issues, we employ a quasiparticle approach based on the angulon theory, which allows us to effectively deal with the non-trivial algebra of quantized angular momentum in the presence of a many-body environment. We uncover how impurity dressing by environmental excitations can establish an exchange channel, whose effectiveness crucially depends on the initial state of the impurity. Remarkably, we find that there is a critical value of initial angular momentum, above which this channel effectively freezes.},

  abstract     = {Light-driven molecular rotary motors perform chirality-controlled unidirectional rotations fueled by light and heat. This unique function renders them appealing for the construction of dynamic molecular systems, actuating materials, and molecular machines. Achieving a combination of high photoefficiency, visible-light responsiveness, synthetic accessibility, and easy tuning of dynamic properties within a single scaffold is critical for these applications but remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, a series of highly photoefficient visible-light–responsive molecular motors (MMs), featuring various rotary speeds, was obtained by a convenient one-step formylation of their parent motors. This strategy greatly improves all aspects of the performance of MMs—red-shifted wavelengths of excitation, high photoisomerization quantum yields, and high photostationary state distributions of isomers—beyond the state-of-the-art light-responsive MM systems. The development of this late-stage functionalization strategy of MMs opens avenues for the construction of high-performance molecular machines and devices for applications in materials science and biological systems, representing a major advance in the synthetic toolbox of molecular machines.},

  abstract     = {Recent experimental advances in nanofluidics have allowed to explore ion transport across molecular-scale pores, in particular, for iontronic applications. Two-dimensional nanochannels—in which a single molecular layer of electrolyte is confined between solid walls—constitute a unique platform to investigate fluid and ion transport in extreme confinement, highlighting unconventional transport properties. In this work, we study ionic association in 2D nanochannels, and its consequences on non-linear ionic transport, using both molecular dynamics simulations and analytical theory. We show that under sufficient confinement, ions assemble into pairs or larger clusters in a process analogous to a Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, here modified by the dielectric confinement. We further show that the breaking of pairs results in an electric-field dependent conduction, a mechanism usually known as the second Wien effect. However the 2D nature of the system results in non-universal, temperature-dependent, scaling of the conductivity with electric field, leading to ionic coulomb blockade in some regimes. A 2D generalization of the Onsager theory fully accounts for the non-linear transport. These results suggest ways to exploit electrostatic interactions between ions to build new nanofluidic devices.},
