  text: A floating Leidenfrost droplet exhibits curvature inversion of its underside,
    due to the balance of vapor pressure and surface tension. Using interferometric
    imaging, we find different behavior for a levitated hydrogel sphere. Curvature
    inversion is observed briefly just after deposition, but quickly gives way to
    a steady state with no inversion. We show the essential role of vaporization in
    shaping the underbelly of the hydrogel, where changes due to direct mass loss
    are more significant than the balance of vapor pressure and elastic forces.

  text: 'We introduce JODIE, a genetic joint modeling approach that estimates how
    DNA loci influence human traits by partitioning genetic effects into four components:
    direct effects (from a child’s alleles), indirect maternal and paternal effects
    (from parents’ alleles), and parent-of-origin (PofO) effects (dependent on parental
    transmission of alleles), while uniquely accounting for assortative mating. We
    analyze 30,000 child-mother-father trios from the Estonian Biobank and the Norwegian
    Mother, Father, and Child Cohort, focusing on height, body mass index, and childhood
    educational test scores. We find direct effects to be the largest contributor
    to trait variation, but combined, indirect parental and PofO effects are similarly
    substantial. We support our results by within-family genome-wide association testing
    and identify 276 independently associated DNA regions with a complex interplay
    between direct, indirect, and PofO effects. By joint modeling, we show that direct,
    indirect, and PofO effects collectively shape human phenotypic variation across
    loci genome-wide.'

  text: We have addressed convective self‐aggregation (CSA) in steady and oscillating
    sea surface temperature (SST) and solar radiation (SOLIN) cloud‐resolving model
    simulations in a non‐rotating radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) framework.
    Our experiment designs are motivated by land‐ocean heterogeneity of atmospheric
    convection. The steady and oscillating forcings are idealizations of ocean and
    land conditions, respectively, based on their differences in heat capacities.
    In both kinds of simulations, the diurnal mean SST and SOLIN are the same, and
    both SST and SOLIN are only varied in time (i.e., they are spatially homogeneous
    at any given time). We find that diurnally oscillating forcing accelerates CSA.
    Stronger long‐wave cooling in dry regions at night and during the warm SST phase
    (late afternoon) both allow the long‐wave feedback, known to favor aggregation,
    to intensify compared to steady forcing simulations. In addition to the long‐wave,
    reduced short‐wave warming in dry regions (during the day) further enhances radiative
    cooling there compared to moist regions. Overall, the radiative cooling is enhanced
    in dry regions compared to neighboring moist convective regions. A dry subsidence
    is driven by this net radiative (short‐wave plus long‐wave) cooling, consistent
    with earlier work on CSA. Stronger radiative cooling allows stronger subsidence
    which allows low‐level circulation to more efficiently transport moisture and
    energy up‐gradient, driving convection to aggregate faster. We also note a sensitivity
    of our experimental setup to initial conditions, more so at warmer SST. This stochastic
    behavior might be critical in reconciling the differences of opinion regarding
    the response of convection aggregation to oscillating SST forcing.

  text: Early embryo geometry is one of the most invariant species-specific traits,
    yet its role in ensuring developmental reproducibility and robustness remains
    underexplored. Here we show that in zebrafish, the geometry of the fertilized
    egg—specifically its curvature and volume—serves as a critical initial condition
    triggering a cascade of events that influence development. The embryo geometry
    guides patterned asymmetric cell divisions in the blastoderm, generating radial
    gradients of cell volume and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. These gradients generate
    mitotic phase waves, with the nucleocytoplasmic ratio determining individual cell
    cycle periods independently of other cells. We demonstrate that reducing cell
    autonomy reshapes these waves, emphasizing the instructive role of geometry-derived
    volume patterns in setting the intrinsic period of the cell cycle oscillator.
    In addition to organizing cell cycles, early embryo geometry spatially patterns
    zygotic genome activation at the midblastula transition, a key step in establishing
    embryonic autonomy. Disrupting the embryo shape alters the zygotic genome activation
    pattern and causes ectopic germ layer specification, underscoring the developmental
    significance of geometry. Together, our findings reveal a symmetry-breaking function
    of early embryo geometry in coordinating cell cycle and transcriptional patterning.

  text: Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe1,2,3.
    Of the many ways in which they influence natural phenomena, perhaps the most consequential
    is their capacity to transfer electrical charge during contact4,5,6,7,8,9,10—which
    occurs even between samples of the same oxide—yet the symmetry-breaking parameter
    that causes this remains unidentified11,12. 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.

  text: Bacteria, like eukaryotes, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for intracellular
    organization. The plasmid-encoded ParMRC system forms actin-like filaments that
    segregate low–copy number plasmids. 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.

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

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

  text: 'How the twin-arginine translocase (Tat) system transports fully folded substrate
    proteins across cellular membranes without disrupting membrane integrity has been
    a fundamental question in cell biology for decades. The Tat system, found in prokaryotes
    and plant organelles, recognizes a cargo signal peptide via a conserved twin-arginine
    motif. The multi-subunit Tat complex facilitates the proton-motive-force-dependent
    translocation process, yet its overall architecture has remained unknown. Here,
    we present the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the Escherichia
    coli (E. coli) trimeric TatB₃C₃ complex with bound substrate SufI, assembled in
    vivo. The complex adopts an unusual, wide-open, bowl-shaped architecture with
    a polar inner cavity. Unexpectedly, the cargo is engaged in a dual-contact mode:
    while the signal peptide binds inside one TatBC unit, the folded domain docks
    tightly onto an adjacent unit, possibly performing a proofreading function. This
    structure provides a mechanistic framework for substrate engagement and suggests
    the direct involvement of the entire Tat complex in substrate translocation.'

  text: Hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons (PNs) form the largest autoassociative network
    in the mammalian brain. Whether CA3–CA3 recurrent connectivity is genetically
    preconfigured or environmentally shaped during ongoing memory storage is currently
    unknown. To address this question, we performed multicellular patch-clamp-based
    circuit mapping of up to eight CA3 PNs in the mouse hippocampus at multiple postnatal
    time points (P7–8, P18–25, and P45–50). Here, we show that the hippocampal CA3
    network undergoes a developmental transformation from local, dense, and random
    connectivity to a distributed, sparse, and structured configuration. Thus, sparse
    and structured connectivity may emerge via experience-dependent mechanisms. In
    parallel, the strength of single synapses is downregulated; single synaptic events
    are sufficient to trigger postsynaptic spiking early in development, whereas spatial
    summation of several inputs is required at later time points. Biologically inspired
    models of memory storage by Hebbian synaptic plasticity and retrieval via pattern
    completion suggest that developmental changes improve specific aspects of memory
    storage and retrieval. Our results imply a developmental transformation of the
    neuronal code and the memory functions in the hippocampal CA3 network.</jats:p>

  text: "The appearance of simulated natural phenomena heavily depends on the way
    surfaces are textured. However, applying texture maps to dynamic deformable surfaces
    presents a significant challenge, due to ever-shifting differences in length scales
    involved. When these surfaces move and advect the texture along with them, their
    final appearance degrades as deformed regions dramatically distort their texture
    map. Modifications to the texture directly at the pixel level in response to the
    deformation may introduce ghosting artifacts and look unnatural. In the real world,
    the appearance of surface details on a deforming material changes through the
    interplay of physical processes such as rupturing, exposure of internal structure,
    or wrinkling. Motivated by these behaviors, in this work we explore how physical
    principles can guide the texturing methods based on the measure of surface deformation.\r\nWe
    present two novel wave-based procedural texturing algorithms which reproduce common
    physical properties like advection and self-similarity, enabling the plausible
    animation of deforming objects with extreme texture map distortions. Our algorithms
    are fully procedural, require no actual physics simulation, and store no state
    or history of deformation besides the input UV map, making them highly parallelizable
    on the GPU and efficient enough for real-time applications. We show the versatility
    of the method by animating physical phenomena with extreme deformations such as
    flowing lava, stretching putty and outpouring sludge."

  text: In many species, sex-biased expression is widespread and thought to contribute
    to sexual dimorphism. While bulk RNA-sequencing has been instrumental in identifying
    strongly sex-biased genes, it lacks resolution to assess variation across cell-types
    and tissue compartments. Using single-nucleus expression data from the Fly Cell
    Atlas, we investigate sex differences in adult Drosophila melanogaster. We find
    that differences in cell-type composition between the sexes are not a major source
    of sex-bias, as for the vast majority of genes, the degree of sex-bias is similar
    regardless of whether sex differences in cell-type composition are controlled
    for or not. Our analysis confirms a deficit of X-linked male-biased genes in the
    body’s somatic tissues that is widespread across cell-types. We also find the
    excess of X-linked female-biased genes to be associated with nervous system cells
    in the head but with epithelial cells in the body’s somatic tissues, showing that
    single-nucleus data crucially resolves sex-bias at the cell-type level. We investigate
    dosage compensation (DC) across 15 tissues and 17 cell-types. We observe that
    it varies throughout the body. Surprisingly, we observe a lack of DC in a cluster
    of main cells within the male accessory glands. This result highlights the importance
    of understanding context-dependent DC.

  text: RNA polymerase II (Pol II) must be assembled in the cytoplasm before it enters
    the nucleus, where it transcribes protein-coding genes. Although transcription
    by Pol II is intensively studied, how this central multi-subunit enzyme is made
    and the role of dedicated assembly factors remains unclear. Here, we report the
    integrative structural analysis of a native human Pol II from the cytoplasm captured
    near the end of biogenesis. The complex contains Gdown1 and three biogenesis factors
    – RPAP2 and the critical small GTPases GPN1 and GPN3. Cryo-EM analysis of the
    complex reveals how Gdown1 and RPAP2 associate with Pol II and prevent the premature
    association of transcription factors. Further biochemical and cryo-EM analysis
    reveals how RPAP2 tethers GPN1–GPN3 to the complex and how the assembly of the
    RPAP2–GPN1–GPN3 complex is controlled by GTP hydrolysis. The combined results
    uncover a network of interactions that chaperone cytoplasmic Pol II to prevent
    aberrant interactions, reveal a molecular switch regulating biogenesis factor
    association, and suggest a general mechanism for the action of GPN-loop GTPase
    family of enzymes.

  text: "In recent years there has been a massive increase in the amount of data generated
    in a\r\ndecentralized manner. Ever more powerful edge devices, such as smartphones,
    have become\r\nubiquitous in most societies on earth. Through text typed, photos
    taken and apps used,\r\nthese devices, which we refer to as clients, generate
    enormous amounts of high quality and\r\ncomplex data. Moreover, the nature of
    these devices means the data they generate is often\r\nsensitive and privacy concerns
    prevent it being gathered and stored in a central location. This\r\npresents a
    challenge to the modern machine learning paradigm that requires central access\r\nto
    large amounts of data. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as one of the answers
    to\r\nthis problem. Rather than bringing the data to the model, FL sends the model
    to the data.\r\nModel training takes place on device, with periodically synchronized
    updates, allowing data to\r\nremain locally stored. While this approach offers
    significant privacy advantages it comes with\r\nits own set of unique challenges.
    These include: data heterogeneity, the notion that different\r\ndevices generate
    data in distinct ways which can negatively impact training dynamics; systems\r\nheterogeneity,
    meaning that different devices may have differing hardware specifications; high\r\ncommunication
    costs, which are induced by the repeated transferring of models over the\r\nnetwork
    and low device computational power, which limits the use of larger models on device.\r\nIn
    this thesis we present a range of methods for federated learning. We focus primarily
    on\r\nthe challenge of data heterogeneity, though the methods presented are designed
    to be well\r\nadapted to the other challenges of a federated setting, such as
    the constraints of limited\r\ncompute and communication overhead. We first present
    a method for explicitly modeling client\r\ndata heterogeneity. The approach formulates
    clients as samples from a certain probability\r\ndistribution and infers the parameters
    of this distribution from the available training clients.\r\nThis learned distribution
    then represents the heterogeneity present among the clients and can\r\nbe sampled
    from in order to create new simulated clients that are similar to the real clients
    we\r\nhave observed so far. Following this we present two methods for directly
    dealing with data\r\nheterogeneity through personalization. Highly heterogeneous
    client data distributions can mean\r\nthat learning a single global model becomes
    suboptimal, and some form of personalization of\r\nmodels to each individual client
    is required. Our approaches are based around hypernetworks,\r\nwhich we use to
    generate personalized model parameters without the need for additional\r\ntraining
    or finetuning. In the first approach we focus on generating full parameterizations
    of\r\nclient models using learned embeddings of client data and labels, with a
    hypernetwork located\r\non the central server. In the second approach we address
    the more challenging scenario where\r\nwe want to generate a personalized model
    for a client without any label information. The\r\nhypernetwork is trained to
    generate a low dimensional representation of a client’s personalized\r\nmodel
    parameters, allowing it to be transferred to and run on the client devices. In
    our final\r\npresented method, we change our focus and rather than aim to directly
    address the challenge\r\nof data heterogeneity, we instead ensure we are unaffected
    by it. This is done in the context\r\nof k-means clustering and we present a method
    for federated clustering with a focus on added\r\nprivacy guarantees."

  text: This thesis examines how geometry and topology intersect in the representation,
    transformation, and analysis of complex shapes. It considers how continuous manifolds
    relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence
    vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems
    in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure,
    both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling,
    or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations
    of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and
    applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic
    fields. These threads braid together into a broader understanding of how topology
    and geometry inform one another across theory, computation, and application.

    scalable and accurate inference methods are essential. To this end, this thesis
    develops novel Bayesian inference frameworks based on Vector Approximate Message
    Passing and demonstrates their effectiveness in the modeling of disease onset
    times and quantitative physical and clinical measures.\r\n\r\nFirst, we introduce
    gVAMP, a Bayesian framework tailored for Genome-Wide Association Studies that
    enables the joint modeling of quantitative complex traits across millions of genetic
    variants. gVAMP demonstrates superior accuracy in variable selection and out-of-sample
    polygenic risk prediction compared to state-of-the-art approaches. We model human
    height using 17 million whole-genome sequence variants from the UK Biobank, incorporating
    a vast number of rare variants and revealing novel associations. gVAMP achieves
    a prediction accuracy of approximately 46% for human height, representing the
    highest reported performance for this trait to date. \r\n\r\nSecond, we present
    vampW, a Bayesian framework for survival analysis applied to proteomic data. By
    effectively handling right-censoring and complex protein dependencies within the
    UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project dataset, vampW identifies 219 protein associations
    across 24 disease outcomes, the majority of which are not among the top marginal
    discoveries. We further adjust protein levels for exponential age effects, yielding
    1,308 associations and highlighting the sensitivity of the analysis to the chosen
    age-correction methodology. Finally, vampW improves upon the variable selection
    capabilities of the commonly used (penalized) variants of the Cox proportional
    hazards model and delivers state-of-the-art out-of-sample prediction of disease
    onset times.\r\n\r\nCollectively, these methods provide powerful tools for dissecting
    the genetic architecture of complex traits and the proteomic drivers of disease
    onset. Furthermore, by delivering accurate polygenic risk scores and precise predictions
    of onset times, this work advances the capabilities of personalized medicine and
    clinical risk stratification."
