Superinfection exclusion strategy of siphophage T5: analysis of the FhuA:Llp complex
ABSTRACT Superinfection exclusion is a widespread viral mechanism that protects the infected cell from overinfection by other identical or closely related viruses. Shortly after infection by bacteriophage T5, the bacterium Escherichia coli produces Llp, encoded by the newly injec...

What happens to wavepackets of fermions when scattered by the Maldacena-Ludwig wall?
A bstract We study wavepackets of exotic excitations after two-dimensional fermions are scattered by the boundary condition constructed by Maldacena and Ludwig, which turns elementary excitations into exotic fractionally-charged objects. They are of interest in the s-wave approxi...

Four-point correlation numbers in super Minimal Liouville Gravity in the Ramond sector
A bstract In this work, we continue the investigation of correlation numbers in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 super Minimal Liouville Gravity (SMLG), with physical fields in the Ramond sector. Building upon our previous construction of physical operators and the evaluation of three-poi...

Gauss law constraint in A-theory branes
{\cal A} -theory realizes U-duality symmetry by extending the string worldsheet to a higher dimensional brane worldvolume, in which the worldvolume and the spacetime belong to different representations of the exceptional group. The closure of the brane Virasoro algebra requires t...

The non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture and equalities of $$\mathcal {L}$$-invariants
Abstract Let G be a reductive group quasi-split at p . Using arguments of Hansen–Thorne, we show that under the non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture (NALC), Hansen’s p -adic overconvergent cohomology eigenvariety for G is étale over its image in weight space at any non-critical classi...

Mass movements in the southern Black Forest, Germany
This dataset provides a geomorphological inventory of 158 mass movements larger than 5000 m² mapped within the Last Glacial Maximum extent of the Late Pleistocene Feldberg ice cap in the southern Black Forest, southwest Germany (48°N, 8°E). The dataset is a zip file that contains...

Understanding cell fate decisions with temporal attention
Understanding non-genetic determinants of cell fate is critical for developing and improving cancer therapies, as genetically identical cells can exhibit divergent outcomes under the same treatment conditions. In this work, we present a deep learning approach for cell fate predic...

Abstract. Green roofs mitigate urban heat, but to fully assess their impact, green roof models must be integrated into urban climate models, where they provide critical surface boundary conditions. Ensuring their reliability requires evaluation, yet such efforts remain limited in...

Abstract. A comprehensive and statistically robust understanding of rock characteristics is essential for reservoir characterization of the deep subsurface to accurately plan exploration campaigns, parameterize predictive 3D geological models, interpret geophysical data, and exec...

Shear-Performance Analysis of Piezoelectric Anchors in Rock-Slope Monitoring
ABSTRACT Bolt-stress monitoring is essential for rock-slope stability, yet conventional methods often fail to capture internal stress evolution and shear-surface locations. This study develops a piezoelectric anchor integrated with a self-sensing piezoelectric geotechnical cable...

Abstract. This paper introduces EnviFlux, which is a software tool (written in C++) to study the inverse problem of estimating the distribution of fluxes of a trace gas at the Earth's surface. This is done using a four-dimensional variational technique, which combines information...

An analytical model for rotors in confined flow across operating regimes
Rotors operating in confined flows, or blockage, are commonly encountered in wind and water tunnels, as well as in shallow or dense deployments of hydrokinetic turbines. Confinement induces a streamwise pressure gradient in the channel, modifying the rotor induction, thrust and p...

Abstract. Cloud vertical structure plays a central role in regulating Earth’s radiation balance and hydrological cycle, yet it remains poorly represented in weather and climate models due to limited high-resolution observations. Using a newly established national network of 80 Ka...

Human trafficking is frequently interpreted through stereotypes and misconceptions that may shape victim recognition, blame, and institutional responses. This scoping review mapped how trafficking myths and related perceptions are conceptualised and measured, identified recurring...

Hybrid Longitudinal-Transverse Propagating Electric Fields in Photonic Crystal Waveguides
In a uniform, source-free, and unbounded medium, Maxwell's equations require electromagnetic waves to be purely transverse. However, when a beam of light is tightly focused or strongly confined, a longitudinal field component can emerge. Strong longitudinal fields enable many nov...

Abstract. The importance of carbon storage in continental seafloor sediments is increasingly recognized, yet the role of benthic macrofaunal biodiversity in the regulation of these processes remains poorly understood. Benthic macrofauna contributes to organic carbon cycling throu...

Renewable power-to-hydrogen (ReP2H) enables large-scale renewable energy utilization and supports the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors, such as chemicals and maritime transport, via hydrogen-based renewable ammonia and methanol fuels. As a result, utility-scale ReP2H proj...

Serotype-independent inhibition of S. pneumoniae by SMiTE, a commensal-derived bacteriocin
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a leading cause of disease despite widespread vaccination, highlighting the need for serotype-independent strategies. We recently identified commensal streptococci that produce bacteriocins with anti-pneumococcal activity. Here, we evalua...

Spin chains for ADE quiver theories
The spectral problem of four-dimensional superconformal quiver gauge theories can be mapped to one-dimensional spin chains with restricted Hilbert spaces, where the composition of neighbouring spins follows the path algebra of the quiver. To better understand such spin chains, we...
