Dynamic triggering

description: Analogous to tectonic strike-slip faults, where frictional processes build up stresses between plate boundaries eventually leading to earthquakes, icequakes caused by the buildup of gravitational driving stress occur at the interface between glaciers and the underlying bedrock. Similar to creeping and locked fault sections regulating the relative movement of tectonic plates, smooth sliding and stick-slip motion controls ice flow at the ice-bedrock interface.
Under temperate alpine glaciers microseismic stick-slip events with regular interevent times cluster spatially in “asperities” and swarm temporally. Asperity fault sizes of less than ten meters are small compared to the entire ice-bedrock interface, but the slip distance of tens of micrometers to a few millimeters per event may contribute significantly to local basal sliding and thus release most local driving stress. Similar to earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries, but on smaller temporal and spatial scales, this must lead to a re-distribution of stress between areas with enhanced friction. For asperities in a state close to failure, nearby stick-slip events may disturb their critical state by shifting static stresses and thus influencing their activity or even triggering contemporary failure.
From multi-seasonal recordings of seismometers on the tongue of a Swiss alpine glacier, we systematically analyze microseismic basal stick-slip events. By comparing the spatial and temporal activity of asperities we evaluate their influence on neighboring ones. Given their regular and high event rate, basal stick-slip icequakes may give new insights not only into ice flow but also into the process of remote earthquake triggering.

description: A palladium-catalyzed high regioselective ortho-C(sp2)-H alkoxylation of oxime ethers with PhI(OAc)2 as the oxidant and alcohols as the alkoxylation reagents has been developed. Mono-alkoxylated and acetoxylated products could be selectively obtained via tuning the reaction conditions. A series of oxime ethers were tolerated, affording the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Both primary and secondary alcohols survived the reaction conditions. Moreover, the directing group can be easily removed, thereby providing a straightforward access to substituted aryl ketones.

psupertime: supervised pseudotime inference for single cell RNA-seq data with sequential labels
Creators: name: Macnair, Will
name: Claassen, Manfred
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2019

description: Single cell RNA-seq has been successfully combined with pseudotime inference methods to investigate biological processes which have sequential labels, such as time series studies of development and differentiation. Pseudotime methods developed to date ignore the labels, and where there is substantial variation in the data not associated with the labels (such as cell cycle variation or batch effects), they can fail to find relevant genes. We introduce psupertime, a supervised pseudotime approach which outperforms benchmark pseudotime methods by explicitly using the sequential labels as input. psupertime uses a simple, regression-based model, which by acknowledging the labels assures that genes relevant to the process, rather than to major drivers of variation, are found. psupertime is applicable to the wide range of single cell RNA-seq datasets with sequential labels, derived from either experimental design or user-selected cell cluster sequences, and provides a tool for targeted identification of genes regulated along biological processes.

description: Therapeutic antibody optimization is time and resource intensive, largely because it requires low-throughput screening (103 variants) of full-length IgG in mammalian cells, typically resulting in only a few optimized leads. Here, we use deep learning to interrogate and predict antigen-specificity from a massively diverse sequence space to identify globally optimized antibody variants. Using a mammalian display platform and the therapeutic antibody trastuzumab, rationally designed site-directed mutagenesis libraries are introduced by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR). Screening and deep sequencing of relatively small libraries (104) produced high quality data capable of training deep neural networks that accurately predict antigen-binding based on antibody sequence. Deep learning is then used to predict millions of antigen binders from an in silico library of ~108 variants, where experimental testing of 30 randomly selected variants showed all 30 retained antigen specificity. The full set of in silico predicted binders is then subjected to multiple developability filters, resulting in thousands of highly-optimized lead candidates. With its scalability and capacity to interrogate high-dimensional protein sequence space, deep learning offers great potential for antibody engineering and optimization.

description: The postcranial anatomy of giant titanosaurians remains poorly known because of a combination of preservational and collection biases. Dreadnoughtus schrani, a recently described, large titanosaur from the Campanian–Maastrichtian Cerro Fortaleza Formation of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, offers the first opportunity for detailed study of appendicular anatomy of a truly giant titanosaurian. The entire appendicular skeleton is represented except the manus and portions of the pes. Comparisons with related titanosauriforms reveal that the holotype skeleton (MPM-PV 1156) exhibits three appendicular autapomorphies: (1) a cranioventrally-caudodorsally oriented ridge across the medial surface of the cranial end of the scapular blade; (2) a distinct concavity on the caudomedial surface of the proximal radius; and (3) the distal end of the radius is subrectangular with subequal craniocaudal and mediolateral dimensions. Appendicular synapomorphies shared between Dreadnoughtus and other titanosauriforms encompass a wide range of body sizes, from the giant Argentinosaurus to the dwarf Magyarosaurus. Among described titanosauriforms, only a single feature occurs exclusively among the appendicular skeletons of the largest taxa: an accessory ventrolateral process is present on the preacetabular lobe of the ilium in Dreadnoughtus, Alamosaurus, and Giraffatitan. This process appears to have arisen in response to greater stress applied by hind limb adductor musculature in these giant terrestrial vertebrates. Continued investigation of titanosaurian anatomy, myology, and biomechanics is needed to gain greater understanding of the functional nature of wide-gauge posture.

description:
Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), commonly referred to as the tick bite red meat allergy, has been reported worldwide with the number of suspected cases in the United States increasing from 24 in 2009 to over 34,000 in 2019. Within the US, AGS is associated with the bite of two tick species, Amblyomma americanum and Ixodes scapularis, and has particularly high incidence rates in the mid-Atlantic region. Because AGS is associated with tick bites, the risk of developing AGS is affected by the environment individuals visit. Despite this, as well as the numerous studies associating the environment with Am. americanum, no work to-date has evaluated AGS risk factors associated with the surrounding landscape. We test the hypothesis that AGS risk is associated with habitat fragmentation typically seen in areas classified as open space and low intensity development that are suitable for human-tick interactions, using a combination of generalized linear modeling (GLM), boosted regression trees (BRT), and Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt). We qualitatively compare results from the models, as well as their predictions within the mid-Atlantic region. We found that models mostly agree when determining important environmental variables, with open space development and population density being highly predictive across all models. BRT and GLM predicted a strong east to west gradient of risk across the mid-Atlantic, which largely mirrors the environmental transition from mountains to coastal plains. MaxEnt predicted a much patchier distribution across the region with no discernable patterns. These results provide evidence that AGS is associated with land uses that are associated with habitat fragmentation, the preferred habitat of Am. americanum. This information can be used to inform future education programs aimed at reducing AGS incidence in the region.

description: Here we describe tissue-resident memory B lymphocytes of spleen and bone marrow. Single cell transcriptomes and B cell receptor repertoires identify several exclusive populations of isotype-switched memory B cells (Bsm) in murine spleen and bone marrow, and one interconnected population of 10-20%. A population of marginal zone-like Bsm is located exclusively in the spleen while a novel population of quiescent Bsm is located exclusively in the bone marrow. Cells of two further populations, present in both, spleen and bone marrow, differ in repertoire between the two organs, i.e. are resident as well. Finally, another interconnected population of Bsm of the B1 lineage is present in spleen and bone marrow. In the bone marrow, all Bsm individually dock onto VCAM1+ stromal cells, resting in terms of activation, proliferation and mobility. The discrete B cell memory of bone marrow may be key to rapid secondary humoral responses to systemic antigens.

description: Biological nitrogen fixation emerging from the symbiosis between bacteria and crop plants holds a significant promise to increase the sustainability of agriculture. One of the biggest hurdles for the engineering of nitrogen-fixing organisms is to identify the metabolic blueprint for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Here, we report on the CATCH-N cycle, a novel metabolic network based on co-catabolism of plant-provided arginine and succinate to drive the energy-demanding process of symbiotic nitrogen fixation in endosymbiotic rhizobia. Using systems biology, isotope labeling studies and transposon sequencing in conjunction with biochemical characterization, we uncovered highly redundant network components of the CATCH-N cycle including transaminases that interlink the co-catabolism of arginine and succinate. The CATCH-N cycle shares aspects with plant mitochondrial arginine degradation path-way. However, it uses N2 as an additional sink for reductant and therefore delivers up to 25% higher yields of nitrogen than classical arginine catabolism — two alanines and three ammonium ions are secreted for each input of arginine and succinate. We argue that the CATCH-N cycle has evolved as part of a specific mechanism to sustain bacterial metabolism in the microoxic and acid environment of symbiosomes. In sum, our systems-level findings provide the theoretical framework and enzymatic blueprint for the rational design of plants and plant-associated organisms with new properties for improved nitrogen fixation.

description: B- and T-cell receptor repertoires of the adaptive immune system have become a key target for diagnostics and therapeutics research. Consequently, there is a rapidly growing number of bioinformatics tools for immune repertoire analysis. Benchmarking of such tools is crucial for ensuring reproducible and generalizable computational analyses. Currently, however, it remains challenging to create standardized ground truth immune receptor repertoires for immunoinformatics tool benchmarking. Therefore, we developed immuneSIM, an R package that allows the simulation of native-like and aberrant synthetic full length variable region immune receptor sequences. ImmuneSIM enables the tuning of the immune receptor features: (i) species and chain type (BCR, TCR, single, paired), (ii) germline gene usage, (iii) occurrence of insertions and deletions, (iv) clonal abundance, (v) somatic hypermutation, and (vi) sequence motifs. Each simulated sequence is annotated by the complete set of simulation events that contributed to its in silico generation. immuneSIM permits the benchmarking of key computational tools for immune receptor analysis such as germline gene annotation, diversity and overlap estimation, sequence similarity, network architecture, clustering analysis, and machine learning methods for motif detection.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: James Joyce’s short story Eveline, from his collection Dubliners (1914), explores the internal conflict of a young woman trapped between the past and the uncertain future. Through a detailed psychological and socio-cultural lens, this article examines how Eveline reflects the struggles of women in early 20th-century Ireland. Eveline’s paralysis, resulting from familial obligations, religious guilt, and fear of the unknown, embodies Joyce’s broader theme of existential stagnation. The paper also contextualizes Eveline’s situation within contemporary feminist theory and historical Irish cultural norms. By drawing on psychological and literary analysis, this study demonstrates how Joyce’s use of epiphany and narrative structure underscores the protagonist’s tragic immobility.

description: An I2-catalyzed synthesis of dialkenyl oxindoles from isatins and α-cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal is described. Both electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) and alkylthio groups exert effects on the reactivities of ketene dithioacetals. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the highest negative charge density on the α-carbon of α-cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal and the largest positive charge on C(3) of the related key intermediate are both responsible for the superior activity of α-cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal. The cationic intermediate derived from 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)acetonitrile is the most stable but the least positive, thus the corresponding alkenylhydroxyoxindole is the thermally stable and separable product. Other ketene dithioacetals are less nucleophilic, and their corresponding cationic intermediates are probably not positive enough to enable further transformation.

description: Understanding relationships between habitat associations for individuals and habitat factors that limit populations is a primary challenge for managers of stream fishes. Although habitat use by individuals can provide insight into the adaptive significance of selected microhabitats, not all habitat parameters will be significant at the population level, particularly when distributional patterns partially result from habitat degradation. We used underwater observation to quantify microhabitat selection by an imperiled stream fish, the Candy Darter Etheostoma osburni, in two streams with robust populations. We developed multiple-variable and multiple-life-stage habitat suitability indices (HSIs) from microhabitat selection patterns and used them to assess the suitability of available habitat in streams where Candy Darter populations were extirpated, localized, or robust. Next, we used a comparative framework to examine relationships among (1) habitat availability across streams, (2) projected habitat suitability of each stream, and (3) a rank for the likely long-term viability (robustness) of the population inhabiting each stream. Habitat selection was characterized by ontogenetic shifts from the low-velocity, slightly embedded areas used by age-0 Candy Darters to the swift, shallow areas with little fine sediment and complex substrate, which were used by adults. Overall, HSIs were strongly correlated with population rank. However, we observed weak or inverse relationships between predicted individual habitat suitability and population robustness for multiple life stages and variables. The results demonstrated that microhabitat selection by individuals does not always reflect population robustness, particularly when based on a single life stage or season, which highlights the risk of generalizing habitat selection that is observed during nonstressful periods or for noncritical resources. These findings suggest that stream fish managers may need to be cautious when implementing conservation measures based solely on observations of habitat selection by individuals and that detailed study at the individual and population levels may be necessary to identify habitat that limits populations.

description: Marine phytoplankton are responsible for half of the global net primary production and perform multiple other ecological functions and services of the global ocean. These photosynthetic organisms comprise more than 4300 marine species, but their biogeographic patterns and the resulting species diversity are poorly known, mostly owing to severe data limitations. Here, we compile, synthesize, and harmonize marine phytoplankton occurrence records from the two largest biological occurrence archives (Ocean Biogeographic Information System; OBIS, and Global Biodiversity Information Facility; GBIF) and three recent data collections. The resulting PhytoBase data set contains over 1.36 million phytoplankton occurrence records (1.28 million at the level of species) for a total of 1711 species, spanning the principal groups of the Bacillariophyceae, Dinoflagellata, and Haptophyta as well as several other groups. This data compilation increases the amount of marine phytoplankton records available through the single largest contributing archive (OBIS) by 65 %. Data span all ocean basins, latitudes and most seasons. Analyzing the oceanic inventory of sampled phytoplankton species richness at the broadest spatial scales possible, using a resampling procedure, we find that richness tends to saturate in the pantropics at ~ 93 % of all species in our database, at ~64% in temperate waters, and at ~ 35 % in the cold Northern Hemisphere, while the Southern Hemisphere remains underexplored. We provide metadata on the cruise, research institution, depth and date of collection for each record, and we include cell-counts for 195 339 records. We strongly recommend consideration of global spatiotemporal biases in sampling intensity and varying taxonomic sampling scopes between research cruises or institutions when analyzing the occurrence database. Including such information into statistical analysis tools, such as species distribution models may serve to project the diversity, niches, and distribution of species in the contemporary and future ocean, opening the door for a quantification of macroecological phytoplankton patterns.

description: An I2-catalyzed synthesis of dialkenyl oxindoles from isatins and α -cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal is described. Both electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) and alkylthio groups exert effects on the reactivities of ketene dithioacetals. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the highest negative charge density on the α -carbon of α -cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal and the largest positive charge on C(3) of the related key intermediate are both responsible for the superior activity of α -cyano ketene ethylene dithioacetal. The cationic intermediate derived from 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)acetonitrile is the most s but the least positive, thus corresponding alkenylhydroxyoxindole is the thermally stable and separable product. Other ketene dithioacetals are less nucleophilic, and their corresponding cationic intermediates are probably not positive enough as well to enable further transformation.

description: In this article, we introduce a new methodology to perform dimension reduction for a stationary multivariate time series. Our method is motivated by the consideration of optimal prediction and focuses on the reduction of the effective dimension in conditional mean of time series given the past information. In particular, we seek a contemporaneous linear transformation such that the transformed time series has two parts with one part being conditionally mean independent of the past. To achieve this goal, we first propose the so-called martingale difference divergence matrix (MDDM), which can quantify the conditional mean independence of V ∈ Rp given U ∈ Rq and also encodes the number and form of linear combinations of V that are conditional mean independent of U. Our dimension reduction procedure is based on eigen-decomposition of the cumulative martingale difference divergence matrix, which is an extension of MDDM to the time series context. Interestingly, there is a static factor model representation for our dimension reduction framework and it has subtle difference from the existing static factor model used in the time series literature. Some theory is also provided about the rate of convergence of eigenvalue and eigenvector of the sample cumulative MDDM in the fixed-dimensional setting. Favorable finite sample performance is demonstrated via simulations and real data illustrations in comparison with some existing methods. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Aerosol radiative forcing estimates suffer from large uncertainties as a result of insuffi-cient understanding of aerosol–cloud interactions. The main source of these uncertain-ties are dynamical processes such as turbulence and entrainment but also key aerosolparameters such as aerosol number concentration and size distribution, and to a much lesser extent, the composition. From June to August 2011 a Cloud and Aerosol Char-acterization Experiment (CLACE) was performed at the high-alpine research stationJungfraujoch (Switzerland, 3580 m a.s.l.) focusing on the activation of aerosol to formliquid-phase clouds (in the cloud base temperature range of−8 to 5◦C). With a boxmodel the sensitivity of the effective peak supersaturation (SSpeak), an important parameter for cloud activation, to key aerosol and dynamical parameters was investigated.It was found that the updraft velocity, defining the cooling rate of an air parcel, is the pa-rameter with the largest influence on SSpeak. Small-scale variations in the cooling ratewith large amplitudes can significantly alter CCN activation. Thus, an accurate knowl-edge of the air parcel history is required to estimate SSpeak. The results show that the cloud base updraft velocities estimated from the horizontal wind measurements madeat the Jungfraujoch can be divided by a factor of approximately 4 to get the updraftvelocity required for the model to reproduce the observed SSpeak.

description: Significant factors on simultaneous growth and bioaccumulation of arsenic ions by living cells of bacteria, Corynebacterium glutamicum MTCC 2745, were explored in growth media under experimental conditions like pH and concentrations of arsenic ions. Combined effects of the initial concentrations of peptone and arsenic (either As(III) or As(V)) ions on the specific growth rate and arsenic bioaccumulation competence of the bacteria were studied and optimized using the Response Surface Methodology. Optimum combination predicted via RSM demonstrated that the bacteria were capable of bioaccumulating As(III) and As(V) in the growth medium containing 1000 mg/L arsenic and 9 g/L peptone up to 78.4% and 77.6%, respectively.
