At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums

Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...

Microfluidic T Cell Selection by Cellular Avidity

Li Tang, Armand Kurum, Alexandre Harari

No T cell receptor (TCR) T cell therapies have obtained clinical approval. The lack of strategies capable of selecting and recovering potent T cell candidates may be a contributor to this. Existing protocols for selecting TCR T cell clones for cell therapi ...

Linguistic traits as heritable units? Spatial Bayesian clustering reveals Swiss German dialect regions

Stéphane Joost, Noemi Romano

In the early 2000s, the SADS, an extensive linguistic atlas project, surveyed more than three thousand individuals across German-speaking Switzerland on over two hundred linguistic variants, capturing the morphosyntactic variation in Swiss German. In this ...

Patron-Driven Acquisition et Evidence-Based Acquisition: Comment implémenter ces modèles afin d’étendre l’offre documentaire dans une bibliothèque ?

Marion Favre, Manon Velasco

Nowadays, usage-based acquisition models for e-books, as PDA and EBA, are quite spread and allow libraries to offer wider collections, without acquiring them. A PDA with Ebook Central was implemented in 2019 and a first EBA with Wiley in 2021. The EPFL Lib ...

A Wasserstein-based measure of conditional dependence

Negar Kiyavash, Seyed Jalal Etesami, Kun Zhang

Measuring conditional dependencies among the variables of a network is of great interest to many disciplines. This paper studies some shortcomings of the existing dependency measures in detecting direct causal influences or their lack of ability for group ...

Towards mouse genetic-specific RNA-sequencing read mapping

Maxime Jan, Ioannis Xenarios

Genetic variations affect behavior and cause disease but understanding how these variants drive complex traits is still an open question. A common approach is to link the genetic variants to intermediate molecular phenotypes such as the transcriptome using ...

Microbial community assembly in streams draining proglacial floodplains

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki

As glaciers shrink, new terrain is exposed and drained by proglacial streams along both longitudinal and lateral chronosequences which are fed by various water sources (glacier melt, snowmelt, and groundwater). While benthic microbial biofilms often initia ...

Persistence of variant selection in red gold alloys

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

Recently, a new thermally activated distortion with amplification (TADA) effect has been reported in red gold alloys caused by the A1 -> L1(0) phase transformation. The macroscopic amplification is due to the persistence of variant selection nucleated unde ...

Frequency selection in a gravitationally stretched capillary jet in the jetting regime

François Gallaire, Isha Shukla

A capillary jet falling under the effect of gravity continuously stretches while thinning downstream. We report here the effect of external periodic forcing on such a spatially varying jet in the jetting regime. Surprisingly, the optimal forcing frequency ...

The thermally activated distortion with amplification effect and related variant selection in red gold alloys

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

Variant selection during the A1→L10 transformation in a polycrystalline red gold alloy close to equiatomic Au-Cu composition has been extensively studied by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) in our previous work. The use of a mathematical description ...
