description: Agol recently introduced the concept of a veering taut triangulation, which is a taut triangulation with some extra combinatorial structure. We define the weaker notion of a "veering triangulation" and use it to show that all veering triangulations admit strict angle structures. We also answer a question of Agol, giving an example of a veering taut triangulation that is not layered.

description: We have calculated the properties of SrTiO3 (STO) using a wide array of density functionals ranging from standard semi-local functionals to modern range-separated hybrids, combined with several basis sets of varying size/quality. We show how these combination's predictive ability varies significantly, both for STO's cubic and antiferrodistortive (AFD) phases, with the greatest variation in functional/basis set efficacy seen in modeling the AFD phase. The screened hybrid functionals we utilized predict the structural properties of both phases in very good agreement with experiment, especially if used with large (but still computationally tractable) basis sets. The most accurate results presented in this study, namely those from HSE06/modified-def2-TZVP, stand as the most accurate modeling of STO to date when compared to the literature; these results agree well with experimental structural and electronic properties as well as providing insight into the band structure alteration during the phase transition.

“Sound-Conscious” Screenwriting: Considering sound as storytelling tool in the screenplay
Creators: name: Slater, Ben
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: This essay considers issues relating to how sound has been treated historically by screenwriters, and advocates for a more “sound-conscious” screenwriting practice. From my own position as a screenwriter and educator of student screenwriters I begin by looking at common assumptions about the use of sound in screenplays and explore the challenges of including sound as part of a screenwriting practice; then I develop a framework by which screenwriters can identify different categories of sound in order to recognise potential for using sound as a storytelling tool within screenplays. This leads to an analysis of two examples of what could be defined as sound-conscious screenwriting, The Conversation (1974) and A Quiet Place (2018) and the framework is also applied to a sample of recent unproduced screenplays. I conclude with thoughts about how ‘sound-consciousness’ can be encouraged through the pedagogy of screenwriting.

description: Os museus têm sofrido profundas transformações nas últimas quatro décadas, em especial os que estão fortemente envolvidos com a participação de comunidades. Esses enfrentam uma série de desafios nos seus processos de mediação, em função da atuação de uma diversidade de públicos. Nesse sentido, o estudo de caso apresentado nessa dissertação investiga os processos de mediação que se dão no Ferrowhite – museo taller, de forma a compreender os sujeitos, as práticas e as mediações que permeiam sua relação com a comunidade. O Ferrowhite está localizado na região portuária de Ingeniero White, em Bahía Blanca, Argentina, e atua a partir de uma coleção referente ao trabalho ferroviário e portuário composta por objetos que haviam sido escamoteados por trabalhadores locais durante o processo de privatizações das empresas estatais nos anos 90. Ele se afirma como museu oficina, isto é, como um espaço de produção de novas formas de entender o presente junto aos trabalhadores, e oferece um complexo material político nas mediações que realiza. A pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter descritivo, contou, também, com uma observação em campo, realizada no mês de março de 2018, que é apresentada através de relatos de experiência.

Museums have undergone profound transformations in the last four decades, especially those that are heavily involved with the participation of communities. They face a series of challenges in their mediation processes, as a result of the diversity of audiences. In this sense, the case study intends to investigate the processes of mediation that take place in Ferrowhite - museo taller, in order to understand the subjects, practices and mediations that permeate their relationship with the community. Ferrowhite is located in the port region of Ingeniero White in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, and operates from a collection of railway and port work concealed by local workers during the privatization process of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s. Established as a workshop museum, that is, as a space of production of new ways of understanding the present with the workers, it offers a complex political material in the mediations it realizes. The qualitative research, of a descriptive content, also counted on an observation in the field, held in March 2018, which is presented through reports of experience.
Dimension dependence of factorization problems: Haar system Hardy spaces

description: For $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $Y_n$ denote the linear span of the first $n+1$ levels of the Haar system in a Haar system Hardy space $Y$ (this class contains all separable rearrangement-invariant function spaces and also related spaces such as dyadic $H^1$). Let $I_{Y_n}$ denote the identity operator on $Y_n$. We prove the following quantitative factorization result: Fix $Γ,δ,\varepsilon > 0$, and let $n,N \in \mathbb{N}$ be chosen such that $N \ge Cn^2$, where $C = C(Γ,δ,\varepsilon) > 0$ (this amounts to a quasi-polynomial dependence between $\dim Y_N$ and $\dim Y_n$). Then for every linear operator $T\colon Y_N\to Y_N$ with $\|T\|\le Γ$, there exist operators $A,B$ with $\|A\|\|B\|\le 2(1+\varepsilon)$ such that either $I_{Y_n} = ATB$ or $I_{Y_n} = A(I_{Y_N} - T)B$. Moreover, if $T$ has $δ$-large positive diagonal with respect to the Haar system, then we have $I_{Y_n} = ATB$ for some $A,B$ with $\|A\|\|B\|\le (1+\varepsilon)/δ$. If the Haar system is unconditional in $Y$, then an inequality of the form $N \ge Cn$ is sufficient for the above statements to hold (hence, $\dim Y_N$ depends polynomially on $\dim Y_n$). Finally, we prove an analogous result in the case where $T$ has large but not necessarily positive diagonal entries.

description: The phase behaviour of amphiphilic multiblock copolymers with a large number of blocks in semidilute solutions is studied by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The influence on the resulting structures of the concentration, the solvent quality and the ratio of hydrophobic to hydrophilic monomers in the chains has been assessed explicitely. Several distinct regimes are put in evidence. For poorly substituted (mainly hydrophilic) copolymers formation of micelles is observed, either isolated or connected by the hydrophilic moieties, depending on concentration and chain length. For more highly substituted chains larger tubular hydrophobic structures appear which, at higher concentration, join to form extended hydrophobic cores. For both substitution ratios gelation is observed, but with a very different gel network structure. For the poorly substituted chains the gel consists of micelles cross-linked by hydrophilic blocks whereas for the highly substituted copolymers the extended hydrophobic cores form the gelling network. The interplay between gelation and phase separation clearly appears in the phase diagram. In particular, for poorly substituted copolymers and in a narrow concentration range, we observe a sol-gel transition followed by an inverse gel-sol transition when increasing the interaction energy. The simulation results are discussed in the context of the experimentally observed phase properties of methylcellulose, a hydrophobically substituted polysaccharide.

Sound Dramaturgy
Creators: name: Stutterheim, Kerstin
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Sound dramaturgy as part of the aesthetic design of documentary films is invisible but most relevant, although often overlooked. The chapter gives a short introduction to dramaturgy and the importance of sound dramaturgy as most impactful for documentary film productions. The main discussion focusses on sound dramaturgy in films as The End Of Time (Mettler); The Island Of The Hungry Ghosts (Brady 2018), The Wale And The Raven (Leuze 2019) and El Sembrador de Estrellas (The Sower of Stars) by Lois Patiño. An analysis and discussion of the components of sound and music as part of the overall dramaturgical concept, the narrative flow, and their contribution to the final production and its sensual impact on the audience will allow a more informed
understanding of such approach.

description: We consider a singly quantized off-axis straight vortex in a rotating dipolar ultracold gas in the Thomas-Fermi (TF) regime. We derive analytic results for small displacements and perform numerical calculations for large displacement within the TF regime. We show that the dipolar interaction energy increases (decreases) as the vortex moves from the trap center to the edge in an oblate (a prolate) trap. We find that for an oblate (a prolate) trap, the effect of the dipole-dipole interaction is to lower (raise) both the precession velocity of an off-center straight vortex line and the angular velocity representing the onset of metastability.

The future of audio-visual designers with a focus on sound
Creators: name: Lensing, Jorge
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Sound designers have historically been associated primarily with the realm of films, TV-movies, and series production. However, the scope of their influence is expanding significantly beyond these domains. Notably, professionals in the fields of museum curation, festivals, theatres, and planetariums are increasingly recognizing the transformative potential of incorporating audio-visual elements into their presentations, thereby enhancing the overall quality of audience engagement.


Traditionally, many museums have relied on subpar audio guides and monotonous recordings played through inadequate loudspeakers to accompany their exhibits. In stark contrast, innovative exhibition concepts are foregrounding the profound impact of audio-visual installations. These installations completely rethink exhibition experiences, offering visitors entirely new dimensions of engagement within the realms of art, history, and science.


In the context of planetariums, a substantial majority of shows continue to feature cosmological themes and scientific narratives presented in full-dome environments. Nevertheless, universities and younger audio-visual designers are now pioneering groundbreaking advancements in immersive audio-visual experiences.


The evolution of theatre is yet another arena undergoing a profound metamorphosis due to the integration of audio-visual elements. As multimedia theatre forms such as picture theatre, new music theatre, and dance theatre increasingly embrace interactive electronic media, the traditional theatrical experience is undergoing a paradigm shift. This departure from convention is ushering in a new era of audio-visual performance quality that transcends prior artistic boundaries.


Given these transformative trends, the study of sound design is compelled to evolve in tandem. Incorporating visual tasks into the curriculum is becoming imperative, as sound designers navigate these innovative frontiers of multimedia integration. By embracing cross-disciplinary approaches that encompass both sonic and visual dimensions, aspiring sound designers will be better equipped to shape the future of immersive audio-visual storytelling across a diverse array of creative platforms.

Determining the contributions of executive functioning to mathematical skills
Creators: name: Morton, Marley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The importance of executive functioning (EF) skills in general mathematical achievement has been well established. However, a deeper understanding about the degree to which distinct EF skills uniquely contribute to not just math as a whole, but to individual mathematical abilities is needed. The present study assessed the unique contributions of EF skills (working memory, inhibition, and shifting) to performance on math fluency, calculation, and problem solving tasks. A secondary goal of this study was to investigate whether performance based tests or parental ratings of EF better predict mathematical performance for each mathematical subskill. Participants were individually administered tests of EF and mathematics and parents completed an EF rating scale. A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted for each mathematic subskill, including lower level math skills in the first block and either performance-based or parent ratings of EF in the second block. Results show a strong relationship between verbal working memory and math fluency, calculation, and problem solving over and above lower level math skills. Math fluency had a significant relationship with calculation, but only calculation was related to problem solving. Performance based measures of EF were superior to parental ratings in terms of their relationship with calculation and problem solving. These findings have implications for our understanding of how EF skills may contribute to math achievement, which can inform early identification and provision of accommodations that will better support mathematical success and the remediation of math difficulties. Furthermore, the findings have implications for the validity of performance based and parental ratings of EF for identifying skills related to math. Lastly, the findings highlight the importance of lower level math skills in calculation and problem solving, which reiterates the importance of the mastery of prerequisite skills as well as areas of targeted intervention.

description: 3D single object tracking (SOT) methods based on appearance matching has long suffered from insufficient appearance information incurred by incomplete, textureless and semantically deficient LiDAR point clouds. While motion paradigm exploits motion cues instead of appearance matching for tracking, it incurs complex multi-stage processing and segmentation module. In this paper, we first provide in-depth explorations on motion paradigm, which proves that (\textbf{i}) it is feasible to directly infer target relative motion from point clouds across consecutive frames; (\textbf{ii}) fine-grained information comparison between consecutive point clouds facilitates target motion modeling. We thereby propose to perform part-to-part motion modeling for consecutive point clouds and introduce a novel tracking framework, termed \textbf{P2P}. The novel framework fuses each corresponding part information between consecutive point clouds, effectively exploring detailed information changes and thus modeling accurate target-related motion cues. Following this framework, we present P2P-point and P2P-voxel models, incorporating implicit and explicit part-to-part motion modeling by point- and voxel-based representation, respectively. Without bells and whistles, P2P-voxel sets a new state-of-the-art performance ($\sim$\textbf{89\%}, \textbf{72\%} and \textbf{63\%} precision on KITTI, NuScenes and Waymo Open Dataset, respectively). Moreover, under the same point-based representation, P2P-point outperforms the previous motion tracker M$^2$Track by \textbf{3.3\%} and \textbf{6.7\%} on the KITTI and NuScenes, while running at a considerably high speed of \textbf{107 Fps} on a single RTX3090 GPU.

description: We study the radial ionization structure at the surface of an X-ray illuminated accretion disk. We plot the expected iron K$α$ line energy as a function of the Eddington ratio and of the distance of the emitting matter from the central source, for a non-rotating and a maximally-rotating black hole. We compare the predicted disk line energies with those measured in an archival sample of active galactic nuclei observed with {\it Chandra}, {\it XMM-Newton} and {\it Suzaku}, and discuss whether the line energies are consistent with the radial distances inferred from reverberation studies. We also suggest using rapidly-variable iron K$α$ lines to estimate the viscosity parameter of an accretion disk. There is a forbidden region in the line energy versus Eddington ratio plane, at low Eddington ratios, where an accretion disk cannot produce highly-ionized iron K$α$ lines. If such emission is observed in low-Eddington-ratio sources, it is either coming from a highly-ionized outflow, or is a blue-shifted component from fast-moving neutral matter.

The Construction of a Different Fantasmatic Body – Post-Cinematic Experience Between ASMR and Multi-Vocality
Creators: name: Glöde, Marc
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: This essay will explore how in a post-cinematic environment, the voice introduces new forms of subjectivity that are distinct from those of the traditional cinematic discourses. According to Mary Ann Doane, to an audience, the “body reconstituted by technology and practices of the cinema is a fantasmatic body, which offers a support as well as a point of identification for the subject addressed by the film.” (see: M.A Doane, Yale French Studies , 1980, No. 60, Cinema/Sound (1980), pp. 33/34.) The voice, the dialogue and the sound are part of this fantasmatic body together with the image, the space and spectator in the cinema.


But what happens when the framework of image production and image perception radically changes, creating a post-cinematic condition? A post-cinematic state – a condition of streams and networks that is the status quo of today’s digital culture. A state that not only affects aesthetics, but also changes the relationship between viewers, images, screens – and the very idea of subjectivity.


It is here that the voice emerges in new forms. Here it plays an important role in our perception and understanding of the world and of ourselves. By examining various post-cinema phenomena such as ASMR or Networked Voices, as seen in recent experimental films by artists such as Ryan Trecartin and Lizzy Fitch, this essay will demonstrate how the voice in post-cinema creates a multiplicity of perspectives that play a key role for new technologies that constitute a subject very differently.

description: The dynamic dance of sound and image in the cinematic landscape continually prompts thoughtful analysis and reflection. Michel Chion’s 2019 insight, “You do not see the same thing when you hear, and you do not hear the same thing when you see,” captures a nuanced truth. For those steeped in the world of sound studies, this observation seems almost self-evident, underscoring the balanced role each sense plays in our cinematic experiences. Yet, it’s worth noting that only some people share this perspective. Sound has a subtle way of entering our awareness, often operating in the shadows of our consciousness. Its influence, though sometimes unnoticed, is deeply powerful—acting as the invisible puppeteer of our emotional responses and steering our interpretation of stories.

description: We review recent NLO QCD results for W,Z + 3-jet production at hadron colliders, computed using BlackHat and SHERPA. We also include some new results for Z + 3-jet production at the LHC at 7 TeV. We report new progress towards the NLO cross section for W + 4-jet production. In particular, we show that the virtual matrix elements produced by BlackHat are numerically stable. We also show that with an improved integrator and tree-level matrix elements from BlackHat, SHERPA produces well-behaved real-emission contributions. As an illustration, we present the real-emission contributions -- including dipole-subtraction terms -- to the p_T distribution of the fourth jet, for a single subprocess with the maximum number of gluons.

24 February 2022 - for a Geocinematic Use of Found Images
Creators: name: Barata, Hugo
name: Alves, Júlio
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Underlying the idea of precarity and the moving image, this paper describes the and theorizes about the original artwork 24TH FEBRUARY 2022 as a video-installation interconnected with the concepts of precarity in production, circulation, and participation in media culture today, this art-based research artwork tries to underpin the very nature of found material as a gateway from the public to the private, commenting on the spectacle of mass media images and also the production of “anarchival” gestures through which its possible to research a specific historic event. Included in a research project entitled FrameScapes that the authors are undergoing at this time, this research outcome relates to the war that Russia brought again to the gates of Europe when it invaded the Ukrainian territory, and also to the conflict in real-time - live action we could call it - in a way we haven’t seen since Desert Storm back in 1991. A continuous feed of videos and photographs in an era of multi-screen distraction and tiktokian dystopias, artists and creatives have the upper hand in constructing from scratch, just like the cubists would glue together a piece of old newspaper and a matchbox to paint a still-life. The precarious nature of found material to make art is present since the first vanguard movements, from Picasso to Duchamp. Through the arts, we’ve been always confronted with gestures of appropriation, quotation, found-footage, archival art, collage or the ready-made, all of these related to meager images. From Marcel Duchamp to Kurt Schwitters, from Douglas Gordon to Christian Marclay, artists have always looked into the metaphor of the precarious as a recontextualization and remediation of image and sound. The artwork 24TH FEBRUARY 2022 is an exploratory artwork about the world-as-camera-screen, responding critically and creatively to different structures of the social, economic and political contexts in today’s art research practice that deals with found materials. The phenomenon of a tele-visual structure presupposes different atopic tele-communities, built under the aegis of tele-presence and tele-objectivity – a dissolution of real space, that embraces geocinematics as a strong narrative contemporary structure, constructed with and bound by precarious images – images that are consistent with a tangible structure of the Real.

Entropy production for an interacting quark-gluon plasma

description: We investigate the entropy production within dissipative hydrodynamics in the Israel-Stewart (IS) and Navier-Stokes theory (NS) for relativistic heavy ion physics applications. In particular we focus on the initial condition in a 0+1D Bjorken scenario, appropriate for the early longitudinal expansion stage of the collision. Going beyond the standard simplification of a massless ideal gas we consider a realistic equation of state consistently derived within a virial expansion. The EoS used is well in line with recent three-flavor QCD lattice data for the pressure, speed of sound, and interaction measure at nonzero temperature and vanishing chemical potential ($μ_{\rm q} = 0$). The shear viscosity has been consistently calculated within this formalism using a kinetic approach in the ultra-relativistic regime with an explicit and systematic evaluation of the transport cross section as function of temperature. We investigate the influence of the viscosity and the initial condition, i.e. formation time, initial temperature, and pressure anisotropy for the entropy production at RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=130$ GeV. We find that the interplay between effects of the viscosity and of the realistic EoS can not be neglected in the reconstruction of the initial state from experimental data. Therefore, from the experimental findings it is very hard to derive unambiguous information about the initial conditions and/or the evolution of the system.

Autofiction of the Cognitariat: Self-Criticism of a Bourgeois Dog
Creators: name: Cuter, Elisa
Publisher: name: International Journal of Film and Media Arts
Year: 2023

description: Artists and intellectuals living in precarious conditions (or: belonging to the cognitariat), find themselves at the crossroad between precarity and privilege. Julian Radlmaier’s Selbstkritik eines bürgerlichen Hundes (Self-Criticism of a Bourgeois Dog GER, 2017) deals with this issue in a very explicit, self-reflexive way. Its protagonist is a filmmaker on the dole who is sent by the German workfare program to work seasonally as an apple picker. Once at the orchard, when the other workers attempt a revolt, he discovers that his attachment to his status as an artist impedes him to join their struggle. The autofictional form of the film, I demonstrate, reflects a subjectivation dynamic that turns into a spiral of perceived debt, guilt, and political paralysis. By internalizing
a widespread anti-intellectual bias, the film offers a paradigmatic account of why it is difficult for members of the cognitariat to solidarize with other segments of the precariat or the working class: the difficulty depends largely on the internalization of neoliberal capitalism’s ambivalent consideration of immaterial, cognitive, and creative work.

description: The study investigates piracy from three categories of stakeholders outside the 3% elite population that patronizes the mega stores. The youth represent a high population of movie viewers found in the suburban areas of selected cities. It also took account of those in the universities that constitute major patronage but do not actually pay the right price for the films. There was the need to study the unique and peculiarity of Nigerian piracy, the level of awareness of consumers of pirated products, the level of involvement of the youths, and if operates uniquely, and exhibits different dynamics from foreign examples, as well as the effectiveness of the antipiracy bodies. This study selected 16 low-budget filmmakers and sampled the opinions of 500 online-dependent university students including TV/DVD-playback suburban youth population. Findings reveal that those who advertently or inadvertently patronize pirated movies account for 88%, with 93% proliferation of low-quality pic¬tures. 100% of university students sampled depend wholly on online downloads, except if compelled to stream online. Mu¬tual suspicion characterizes Nigeria’s film industry, and the study identified six categories that unfortunately make the list of collaborators of Nigerian pirates with unregistered marketers accounting for 93.8%, unscrupulous practitioners outside the registered unions (75%), while 53.3% implicated the regulators. Nigerian film piracy exhibits a special peculiarity of illegally copying, printing, and publicly selling these counterfeits with impunity. And sadly, to the chagrin of creative artists. The study concludes that Nigerian pirates and their patrons enjoy the unhindered liberty of operating publicly, and the law enforcement agents do not yet have the magic wand to end it. Getting listed by Netflix has become a major breakthrough, while the re¬turn of cinema viewing centres presently serves as another avenue of direct negotiation and control for Nollywood filmmakers.

description: We report detections of fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the repeating source FRB 20201124A with Apertif/WSRT and GMRT, and measurements of basic burst properties, especially the dispersion measure (DM) and fluence. Based on comparisons of these properties with previously published larger samples, we argue that the excess DM reported earlier for pulses with integrated signal to noise ratio $\lesssim 1000$ is due to incompletely accounting for the so-called sad trombone effect, even when using structure-maximizing DM algorithms. Our investigations of fluence distributions next lead us to advise against formal power-law fitting, especially dissuading the use of the least-square method, and we demonstrate the large biases involved. A maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) provides a much more accurate estimate of the power law and we provide accessible code for direct inclusion in future research. Our GMRT observations were fortuitously scheduled around the end of the activity cycle as recorded by FAST. We detected several bursts (one of them very strong) at 400/600 MHz, a few hours after sensitive FAST non-detections already showed the 1.3 GHz FRB emission to have ceased. After FRB 20180916B, this is a second example of a frequency-dependent activity window identified in a repeating FRB source. Since numerous efforts have so-far failed to determine a spin period for FRB 20201124A, we conjecture it to be an ultra-long period magnetar, with a period on the scale of months, and with a very wide, highly irregular duty cycle. Assuming the emission comes from closed field lines, we use radius-to-frequency mapping and polarization information from other studies to constrain the magnetospheric geometry and location of the emission region. Our initial findings are consistent with a possible connection between FRBs and crustal motion events.

Insights into the role of nucleosomal DNA folding on chromatin fiber properties
Creators: name: Todolli, Stefjord
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: DNA in eukaryotic cell nuclei is packaged in a highly compact, yet dynamic chromatin structure that provides a regulatory mechanism for many biological processes, such as gene expression. The basic packaging unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which consists of ~1.7 turns of DNA wrapped around an octamer core of histone proteins (H3, H4, H2A, H2B). Chains of nucleosome-decorated DNA, which resemble beads on a string, fold into a higher-order arrangement, often referred to as the 30-nm fiber. However, the structure of this fiber remains poorly understood, despite decades of research. Many proposed models for the 3D organization of the nucleosomes and intervening DNA in chromatin vary quite significantly, and the very existence and relevance of a 30-nm structure in vivo has been questioned. An analysis of the available high-resolution nucleosome structures shows subtle, yet significant differences in DNA wrapping around the histone core. Monte Carlo simulations of regular nucleosome arrays generated using a meso-scale representation of DNA suggest that these local differences can lead to large changes in global nucleosome arrangements, comparable to the effect of changes in nucleosome spacing by ~2–3 base pairs. Our results suggest that a regular nucleosome array with a 177-base-pair (bp) repeat can display a loose three-stack or a more compact two-stack arrangement, on average, depending on the DNA wrapping profile of the nucleosome. These findings imply a very dynamic chromatin fiber with a multitude of mechanisms to control its folding. Using this meso-scale model, we have studied the role of chromatin fiber architecture and histone tails on chromatin compaction and long-range communication in constructs containing 177-bp repeats. Our predictions for chromatin fibers with a loose three-stack nucleosome arrangement can qualitatively account for experimental data from in vitro assays of enhancer-promoter communication (EPC) under physiologically-relevant conditions. On the other hand, fibers that display a two-stack arrangement are in better agreement with sedimentation velocity experiments performed under a different set of ionic conditions. Removal of histone tails diminishes EPC efficiency, and our simulations predict that H3/H4 tail removal has the biggest impact, in agreement with in vitro experiments.
