Depletion of lamins B1 and B2 promotes chromatin mobility and induces differential gene expression by a mesoscale-motion-dependent mechanism by Pujadas Liwag, Emily M., Wei, Xiaolong, Acosta, Nicolas, Carter, Lucas M., Yang, Jiekun, Almassalha, Luay M., Jain, Surbhi, Daneshkhah, Ali, Rao, Suhas S. P., Seker-Polat, Fidan, MacQuarrie, Kyle L., Ibarra, Joe, Agrawal, Vasundhara, Aiden, Erez Lieberman, Kanemaki, Masato T., Backman, Vadim, Adli, Mazhar

“…Conclusions Our findings suggest that, while B-type lamin degradation does not significantly change genome topology, it has major implications for three-dimensional chromatin conformation at the single-cell level both at the lamina-associated periphery and the non-LAD-associated nuclear interior with concomitant genome-wide transcriptional changes. …”

Rheo-PIV of yield-stress fluids in a 3D-printed fractal vane-in-cup geometry by Medina-Bañuelos, Esteban F., Marín-Santibáñez, Benjamín M., Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H., Pérez-González, José

“…We describe the velocity distributions in all cases and show that the fVIC produces an almost axisymmetric flow field and rotation rate-independent “effective radius” when used with both the Newtonian fluid and the microgel. These findings are supported by 2D simulation results and enable the safe use of both the Couette analogy and the torque-to-stress conversion scheme for a 24-arm fVIC as well as validate it as a reliable rheometrical tool for characterization of a variety of complex fluids. …”

Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF): Towards a Better Understanding of Vegetation Dynamics and Carbon Uptake in Arctic-Boreal Ecosystems by Cheng, Rui

“…Additionally, this review proposes applications of SIF across scales in support of other observational and modeling platforms for better understanding Arctic-Boreal vegetation dynamics and carbon fluxes. Recent Findings Cross-scale SIF measurements complement each other, offering valuable perspectives on Arctic-Boreal ecosystems, such as vegetation phenology, carbon uptake, carbon-water coupling, and ecosystem responses to disturbances. …”

Time-series metagenomics reveals changing protistan ecology of a temperate dimictic lake by Krinos, Arianna I., Bowers, Robert M., Rohwer, Robin R., McMahon, Katherine D., Woyke, Tanja, Schulz, Frederik

“…Our study identified long-term changes in the abundance of eukaryotic microbes and provided context for the known establishment of an invasive species that catalyzes a trophic cascade involving protists. Our findings are important for decoding potential long-term consequences of human interventions, including invasive species introduction.…”

Spatial structure of workplace and communication between colleagues: A study of E-mail exchange and spatial relatedness on the MIT campus by Sevtsuk, Andres, Chancey, Bahij, Basu, Rounaq, Mazzarello, Martina

“…Building on prior studies of both physical and electronic communication networks, we present the results of a study conducted on the MIT campus using an anonymized dataset of e-mail communication to examine how spatial relatedness between faculty, staff, and researchers’ office locations impact E-mail communication between them. Our findings suggest that (a) people whose offices are closer to each other by walking are more likely to exchange E-mails, (b) on the campus as a whole, people who are more likely to walk past each other’s offices on the way to or from work are more likely to exchange E-mails, and (c) people who share access to similar eating venues around their offices are more likely to exchange E-mails. …”

Predicting drivers’ route trajectories in last-mile delivery using a pair-wise attention-based pointer neural network by Mo, Baichuan, Wang, Qingyi, Guo, Xiaotong, Winkenbach, Matthias, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Results from an extensive case study on real operational data from Amazon’s last-mile delivery operations in the US show that our proposed method can significantly outperform traditional optimization-based approaches and other machine learning methods (such as the Long Short-Term Memory encoder–decoder and the original pointer network) in finding stop sequences that are closer to high-quality routes executed by experienced drivers in the field. …”

Ex Post Path Choice Estimation for Urban Rail Systems Using Smart Card Data: An Aggregated Time-Space Hypernetwork Approach by Mo, Baichuan, Ma, Zhenliang, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Solving the decomposed problem is equivalent to finding a fixed point. We prove that the solution to the original problem is the same as the decomposed problem (i.e., the fixed point) when passenger path choices follow the predefined behavior model. …”

Dynamic Expansion and Merging of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly During the 10–11 May 2024 Super Geomagnetic Storm by Aa, Ercha, Chen, Yanhong, Luo, Bingxian

“…The investigation utilizes multi-instrument datasets, including ground-based observations (GNSS TEC, ionosonde, and Fabry–Perot interferometer) as well as space-borne satellite measurements (GOLD, Swarm, DMSP, and TIMED). Our findings reveal significant day-to-day variations in the storm-time equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), summarized as follows: (1) During the main phase of the storm, the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere experienced a positive storm, with TEC drastically enhanced by 50–100% within a few hours. …”
