Extracellular DNA Alters Detection of Subtle Bacterial Responses to Soil Rewetting

Microbial communities are often characterized using DNA-based sequencing, but these approaches also capture extracellular DNA (exDNA) released from dead cells, potentially altering inference about microbial responses to environmental change. This may be especially important during pulse disturbances, such as soil drying–rewetting, which can increase microbial mortality and transient necromass pools. We assessed whether exDNA altered inference about bacterial responses to drying–rewetting (an 80 mm simulated rainfall event following a 28-day drought) in conventionally tilled corn and perennial switchgrass soils. We quantified bacterial abundance (16 S rRNA gene copies), alpha diversity, and community composition in paired soil samples with exDNA included (+ exDNA) and in samples treated with propidium monoazide (PMAxx) to reduce amplification of exDNA (− exDNA). At our level of replication (n = 4), PMAxx treatment did not significantly alter overall temporal response patterns (i.e., no significant main effect of DNA treatment or DNA × time interaction). However, PMAxx treatment increased sensitivity to detect some pairwise temporal changes in bacterial abundance and community composition in corn soils following rewetting. exDNA pools were proportionally highest immediately after rewetting in corn soils, suggesting transient extracellular DNA may contribute to masking during disturbance recovery. In contrast, PMAxx treatment had comparatively small effects in switchgrass soils, which exhibited weaker temporal responses overall. Inclusion of exDNA also changed which taxa appeared most responsive to rewetting. Together, our results suggest that exDNA does not uniformly bias soil microbial inference, but may reduce detectability of subtle disturbance-driven shifts in certain soils. Future studies should advance knowledge of microbial turnover and necromass dynamics, particularly using multiple complementary methods, to help predict when exDNA is most likely to influence ecological inference.

Heterogeneous Mixtures of Dictionary Functions to Approximate Subspace Invariance in Koopman Operators: Why Deep Koopman Operators Work

Abstract Koopman operators model nonlinear dynamics as a linear dynamic system acting on a nonlinear function as the state. This nonstandard state is often called a Koopman observable and is usually approximated numerically by a superposition of functions drawn from a dictionary . In a widely used algorithm, extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD), the dictionary functions are drawn from a fixed class of functions. Deep learning combined with EDMD has been used to learn novel dictionary functions in an algorithm called deep dynamic mode decomposition (deepDMD). The learned representation both (1) accurately models and (2) scales well with the dimension of the original nonlinear system. In this paper, we analyze the learned dictionaries from deepDMD and explore the theoretical basis for their strong performance. We explore State-Inclusive Logistic Lifting (SILL) dictionary functions to approximate Koopman observables. Error analysis of these dictionary functions show they satisfy a property of subspace approximation, which we define as uniform finite approximate closure. Typically, a Koopman dictionary’s nonlinear functions are homogeneous. In this paper, we discover that structured mixing of heterogeneous dictionary functions drawn from different classes of nonlinear functions achieve the same accuracy and dimensional scaling as the deep-learning-based deepDMD algorithm Yeung et al. ( In: 2019 American Control Conference (ACC), 2019). We specifically show this by building a heterogeneous dictionary comprised of SILL functions and conjunctive radial basis functions (RBFs). This mixed dictionary achieves similar accuracy and dimensional scaling to deepDMD with an order of magnitude reduction in parameters, while maintaining geometric interpretability. These results strengthen the viability of dictionary-based Koopman models to solving high-dimensional nonlinear learning problems.

Growth of organized flow coherent motions within a single-stream shear layer: 4D-PTV measurements

Abstract This study investigates the evolution of a single-stream shear layer (SSSL) originating from a wall boundary layer past a backward-facing step. Utilizing a time-resolved 3D-Particle Tracking Velocimetry (4D-PTV) technique, we track the trajectories of fluorescent particles to gain insight into the flow characteristics of the SSSL. A compact water tunnel facility ( $$\textrm{Re}_\tau =1\,240$$ Re τ = 1 240 ) is fabricated to obtain an SSSL with a perpendicular slow entrainment stream past the separation edge. A hybrid interpolation approach that combines ensemble binning and Gaussian weighting is implemented to derive minimally filtered mean and instantaneous lower- and higher-order flow field parameters. Spanwise-dominant coherent motion accompanied by finer flow scales is observed to grow due to flow entrainment through “nibbling” actions of small-scale vortices, “engulfing” by large-scale vortices, and vortex pairing events. Furthermore, the non-zero-speed stream edge grows relatively faster than the zero-speed stream edge, showing a strong asymmetry in mixing composition across a mixing layer. The SSSL reaches self-similarity at a streamwise distance of $$\approx 55\,\theta _{0}$$ ≈ 55 θ 0 , where $$\theta _0$$ θ 0 is the initial momentum thickness from the separation edge, i.e., considerably shorter than reported in previous studies. A literature comparison of growth rate parameters raises intriguing questions regarding a potential inclusive growth scaling unifying the free shear layers. A turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget analysis reveals a negative production region immediately downstream of the separation edge attributed to a large positive streamwise gradient of streamwise velocity. In the self-similar region, the phase-averaged flow mapping demonstrates a larger concentration of turbulence production rate around the outer edges of spanwise vortices, specifically at the intersection of braids and vortices. Furthermore, a spatial separation exists in the regions of peak production and dissipation rates within the vortex core region favoring dissipation. The braids exhibit a larger concentration of turbulence diffusion rates, indicating their function as a conduit for exchanging turbulence between neighboring coherent motions.

High-pressure crystal structure and equation of state of ferromagnesian jeffbenite: implications for stability in the transition zone and uppermost lower mantle

Jeffbenite, ideally Mg 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 , has been identified as inclusions in super-deep diamonds originating from depths that exceed 300 km. Although Mg-end member jeffbenite has limited stability at upper-mantle conditions, iron-bearing jeffbenite may have broader P–T stability that extends to the transition zone or uppermost lower mantle, incorporating significant amounts of ferric iron. Using synchrotron-based, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy (SMS) at pressures up to 29 GPa, we report the crystal structure, compressibility, and likely spin transition of iron in ferromagnesian jeffbenite (Mg 2.32 Al 0.03 Fe 2+ 1.28 Fe 3+ 1.77 Si 2.85 O 12 ). High-pressure structure refinements reveal that Fe 3+ substitution for Si in the T2 site, which shares edges with the M2 octahedron, likely stabilizes jeffbenite at high pressure, because it increases the cation-to-cation distance between these sites. Although ferromagnesian jeffbenite does not undergo a structural phase transition below 30 GPa, SMS hyperfine parameters suggest the onset of an electronic spin transition of iron from high-spin (HS) to low-spin (LS) at around 22 GPa, which may increase its stability at high pressures. Pressure–volume data were fit to a third order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, resulting in V o = 816.54(9), K To = 181.54(1.39), and K' T0 = 2.76(14). These equation of state parameters are applicable to evaluating the encapsulation pressures of super-deep diamonds. The density and bulk modulus of ferromagnesian jeffbenite are similar to or higher than pyrope–almandine, pyrope–majorite, and skiagite–majorite solid solution garnets, further suggesting that jeffbenite may be an important ferric–iron silicate in the deeper parts of the mantle transition zone and uppermost lower mantle. Furthermore, future studies on the influence of temperature and oxidation state on the stability and equations of state of iron-bearing jeffbennite are still needed to determine what role, if any, jeffbenite plays in transition-zone mineralogy.

Scattering Observables from One- and Two-body Densities: Formalism and Application to $\pmb \gamma $ ${}^3\hbox {He}$ Scattering

We introduce the transition-density formalism, an efficient and general method for calculating the interaction of external probes with light nuclei. One- and two-body transition densities that encode the nuclear structure of the target are evaluated once and stored. They are then convoluted with an interaction kernel to produce amplitudes, and hence observables. Here, by choosing different kernels, the same densities can be used for any reaction in which a probe interacts perturbatively with the target. The method therefore exploits the factorisation between nuclear structure and interaction kernel that occurs in such processes. We study in detail the convergence in the number of partial waves for matrix elements relevant in elastic Compton scattering on 3 He. The results are fully consistent with our previous calculations in Chiral Effective Field Theory. But the new approach is markedly more computationally efficient, which facilitates the inclusion of more partial-wave channels in the calculation. We also discuss the usefulness of the transition-density method for other nuclei and reactions. Calculations of elastic Compton scattering on heavier targets like 4 He are straightforward extensions of this study, since the same interaction kernels are used. And the generality of the formalism means that our 3 He densities can be used to evaluate any 3 He elastic-scattering observable with contributions from one- and two-body operators.

{phi} Meson Photoproduction on the Nucleon and 4He Targets

We study the reaction mechanism of phi-meson photoproduction on the nucleon and He-4 targets by using a dynamical model based on a Hamiltonian. In addition to the dominant contribution of the Pomeron exchange, various meson exchanges are considered in the t channel to describe the CLAS data in the low energy region root s =(1.97-2.84) GeV. The direct phi radiations are taken into account in the s- and u-channels. The backward structures at root s approximate to 2.1 and 2.3 GeV are well reproduced by the inclusion of the s-channel N(2000,5/2(+)) and N(2300,1/2(+))resonances, respectively. We also consider the final phi N interactions by the gluon exchange, the direct phi N interactions, and the box diagrams arising from the couplings with the pi N, rho N, K Lambda, and K Sigma channels. The effects of the final state interactions are found to be very weak. Then the resulting Hamiltonian is used to study the coherent gamma He-4 -> phi He-4 reaction within the distorted-weave impulse approximation. The calculated differential cross sections account for the LEPS data quite well.

Understanding the role of negative charge in the scaffold of an artificial enzyme for CO 2 hydrogenation on catalysis

Here, we have approached the construction of an artificial enzyme by employing a robust protein scaffold, lactococcal multidrug resistance regulator, LmrR, providing a structured secondary and outer coordination spheres around a molecular rhodium complex, [Rh I (P Et2 N gly P Et2 ) 2 ] - . Previously, we demonstrated a 2–3 fold increase in activity for one Rh-LmrR construct by introducing positive charge in the secondary coordination sphere. In this study, a series of variants was made through site-directed mutagenesis where the negative charge is located in the secondary sphere or outer coordination sphere, with additional variants made with increasingly negative charge in the outer coordination sphere while keeping a positive charge in the secondary sphere. Placing a negative charge in the secondary or outer coordination sphere demonstrates decreased activity by a factor of two compared to the wild-type Rh-LmrR. Interestingly, addition of positive charge in the secondary sphere, with the negatively charged outer coordination sphere restores activity. Vibrational and NMR spectroscopy suggest minimal changes to the electronic density at the rhodium center, regardless of inclusion of a negative or positive charge in the secondary sphere, suggesting another mechanism is impacting catalytic activity, explored in the discussion.

Soil Particulate Organic Matter is Related to Ericoid Mycorrhizal Shrubs, not Ectomycorrhizal Trees, in a Temperate Forest

Mycorrhizal associations are key drivers of soil biogeochemistry, but previous studies have focused almost exclusively on ectomycorrhizal (EcM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations. Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs frequently occur in forest understories and are expanding in response to disturbance, but are rarely considered in biogeochemical frameworks. We investigated the relationships of understory ErM shrubs and overstory trees on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil organic matter fractions in a southern Appalachian temperate forest. We sampled the 0–10 cm mineral soil layer from 43 plots at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, across gradients in overstory EcM dominance and understory ErM shrub biomass. Soil C:N ratios increased with both increasing EcM dominance and increasing ErM shrub biomass. However, total particulate organic matter (POM) C, and the proportion of C and N held in POM increased with increasing ErM shrub biomass, but not with increasing EcM dominance. In contrast, mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) C and N were negatively associated with EcM dominance, but were not related to ErM shrubs. Our findings suggest that ErM shrubs facilitate POM formation while AM trees promote MAOM formation. Because ErM shrub biomass represents a small fraction of total forest biomass, our work provides evidence that ErM shrubs have an outsized effect on soil organic matter, which advocates for their inclusion in mechanistic studies and biogeochemical frameworks.

A multi-resolution approach to hydraulic fracture simulation

Abstract We present a multi-resolution approach for constructing model-based simulations of hydraulic fracturing, wherein flow through porous media is coupled with fluid-driven fracture. The approach consists of a hybrid scheme that couples a discrete crack representation in a global domain to a phase-field representation in a local subdomain near the crack tip. The multi-resolution approach addresses issues such as the computational expense of accurate hydraulic fracture simulations and the difficulties associated with reconstructing crack apertures from diffuse fracture representations. In the global domain, a coupled system of equations for displacements and pressures is considered. The crack geometry is assumed to be fixed and the displacement field is enriched with discontinuous functions. Around the crack tips in the local subdomains, phase-field sub-problems are instantiated on the fly to propagate fractures in arbitrary, mesh independent directions. The governing equations and fields in the global and local domains are approximated using a combination of finite-volume and finite element discretizations. The efficacy of the method is illustrated through various benchmark problems in hydraulic fracturing, as well as a new study of fluid-driven crack growth around a stiff inclusion.

Speed of Sound Measurements of R-1130(E) and an Azeotropic Blend of R-1336mzz(Z)/1130(E)

Sound speed data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for pure trans-1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) and an azeotropic blend of cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutene (R-1336mzz(Z)) and R-1130(E) with a composition of 74.8 mass % R-1336mzz(Z) with the balance being R-1130(E). The azeotropic blend of R-1336mzz(Z)/1130(E) is classified as R-514A in ANSI/ASHRAE standard 34. Liquid phase speed of sound data are reported from just above the saturation pressure of pure R-1130(E) or the bubble point pressure of R-514A to a maximum pressure of 26.7 MPa. The relative combined expanded uncertainty in the speed of sound varies from 0.032 % to 0.148 % with the greatest deviations occurring at the lowest sound speeds. At present, no reference Helmholtz-energy-explicit equation of state (EOS) is available for R-1130(E). Therefore, the reported data for pure R-1130(E) are compared to an extended corresponding states (ECS) model. Deviations between the pure R-1130(E) sound speed data and the ECS model were found to be consistently negative ranging between − 4.1 % and − 3.5 %. The R-514A data are compared to a multifluid model inclusive of the established reference Helmholtz-energy-explicit EOS for R-1336mzz(Z) and ECS model for R-1130(E) with estimated binary interaction parameters. Deviations between the experimental speed of sound data and the multifluid model were also found to be consistently negative. However, deviations from the multifluid model were found to be as great as − 17.1 %. The large deviations from the ECS model and multifluid model underscore the need for a robust Helmholtz-energy-explicit EOS for R-1130(E).

Microstructural development in DED stainless steels: applying welding models to elucidate the impact of processing and alloy composition

Austenitic stainless steel microstructures produced by directed energy deposition (DED)are analogous to those developed during welding, particularly high energy density welding. To better understand microstructural development during DED, theories of microstructural evolution,which have been established to contextualize weld microstructures, are applied in this study to microstructural development in DED austenitic stainless steels. Phenomenological welding models that describe the development of oxide inclusions, compositional microsegregation, ferrite,matrix austenite grains, and dislocation substructures are utilized to clarify microstructural evolution during deposition of austenitic stainless steels. Two different alloys, 304L and 316L, arecompared to demonstrate the broad applicability of this framework for understanding microstmctural development during the DED process. Despite differences in grain morphology and solidification mode for these two alloys (which can be attributed to compositional differences),similar tensile properties are achieved. It is the fine-scale compositional segregation and dislocation structures that ultimately determine the strength of these materials. The evolution of microsegregation and dislocation structures is shown to be dependent on the rapid solidification and thermomechanical history of the DED processing method and not the composition of the starting material.

Multiscale Characterization of Additive Manufacturing Components with Computed Tomography, 3D X-ray Microscopy, and Deep Learning

Additive manufacturing (AM) facilitates the creation of complex-geometry parts, driving advancements in lightweight aerospace components, high-efficiency engine cooling channels, and customized medical implants. However, ensuring the quality and reliability of AM parts remains challenging due to internal defects, surface irregularities, porosity, and residual trapped powder, which are often inaccessible to traditional inspection methods. Recent developments in X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM), particularly systems equipped with resolution-at-a-distance (RaaD™) capabilities, enable high-resolution, non-destructive evaluation of AM components across multiple scales, from sub-micrometer to macroscopic levels. This paper explores modern XCT and XRM techniques for multiscale characterization of AM parts, focusing on their ability to detect and analyze defects such as porosity, cracks, inclusions, and surface roughness, while offering insights into defect formation mechanisms, material properties, and process-induced variations. The integration of deep learning (DL) frameworks, including Simurgh, DeepRecon, and DeepScout, enhances XCT/XRM workflows by reducing scan times, improving resolution recovery, and enabling accurate defect detection even with limited projection data. These DL-based methods overcome limitations of traditional reconstruction techniques, enabling faster, more reliable characterization of dense materials like Inconel 718 and novel alloys such as AlCe. Applications include process parameter optimization, high-throughput quality control, and multistage AM process evaluation, with DL-enhanced workflows accelerating analysis times from weeks to days. Correlative imaging approaches further validate XCT and XRM data against scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of physically sectioned samples, confirming the accuracy of DL-based reconstructions and enabling comprehensive defect analysis. While challenges remain in generalizing DL models to diverse materials and imaging conditions, improvements in resolution, noise reduction, and defect detection highlight the transformative potential of these methods. This multiscale and correlative approach enables precise identification and correlation of microstructural features with the overall performance of AM components. By integrating advanced XCT, XRM, and DL techniques, this paper demonstrates a significant leap forward in AM characterization, offering valuable insights into the relationships between processing parameters, microstructure, and part performance, and driving innovations that enhance the quality and reliability of AM products for demanding industrial applications.

Improving the Recyclability of Polymer Composites With Cellulose Nanofibrils

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have been widely studied for their reinforcing potential in high-performance composites. While there are numerous publications on CNF-reinforced composites in a variety of polymer matrices, few have considered the recyclability of such thermoplastic composites and whether the incorporation of CNFs deteriorates or improves their performance upon reprocessing. In this study, two thermoplastic resins, poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETg), were prepared with CNF reinforcement and thermomechanically recycled to investigate the effect of CNF inclusion on the composite properties after reprocessing as well as their effect on the composites’ number of useful life cycles. Additionally, changes in mechanical, thermal, rheological, molecular, and microstructural properties of the composites and/or base resins were monitored as a function of cycle numbers. As is typical, the polymers’ molecular weight and mechanical performance deteriorated with continued processing. However, the addition of spray dried CNF was found to better maintain the mechanical performance of both polymers throughout multiple recycling steps as compared to neat samples. For example, the tensile strength of PETg with 20 wt% CNF after 6 processing cycles was found to exceed that of virgin neat PETg, and higher loadings of CNF were found to preserve a higher yield strength during multiple rounds of reprocessing compared to PETg composites with lower CNF loadings. Ultimately this study indicates that the addition of CNF to some thermoplastic materials can increase both their sustainability by offsetting the use of high-embodied energy resins and their circularity by enabling performance retention over more use cycles.

Fabrication and Radio Frequency Properties of 3-GHz SRF Cavities Coated with MgB 2

Magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ) is considered a potential material for superconducting radio frequency cavities. MgB 2 coated Cu cavity will allow for a higher operational temperature than a bulk Nb cavity because of the higher transition temperature of MgB 2 and the high thermal conductivity of Cu. Using the hybrid physical chemical vapor deposition technique, MgB 2 coatings were successfully achieved on the inner wall of 3-GHz Cu cavities. The surface and superconducting properties of the coatings were characterized using small samples on Cu plugs mounted at different locations of mock cavities. RF measurement of a MgB 2 coated single-cell 3-GHz test cavity was carried out and it showed superconducting transition at 36 K. Here, the quality factor of this test cavity was lower than expected due to poor connectivity and inclusion of Mg-Cu alloy in the MgB 2 coating.

Jarzynski Equality for Conditional Stochastic Work

It has been established that the inclusive work for classical, Hamiltonian dynamics is equivalent to the two-time energy measurement paradigm in isolated quantum systems. However, a plethora of other notions of quantum work has emerged, and thus the natural question arises whether any other quantum notion can provide motivation for purely classical considerations. In the present analysis, we propose the conditional stochastic work for classical, Hamiltonian dynamics, which is inspired by the one-time measurement approach. This novel notion is built upon the change of expectation value of the energy conditioned on the initial energy surface. As main results, we obtain a generalized Jarzynski equality and a sharper maximum work theorem, which account for how non-adiabatic the process is. Our findings are illustrated with the parametric harmonic oscillator.

Variational approach to relative entropies with an application to QFT

Abstract We define a new divergence of von Neumann algebras using a variational expression similar in nature to Kosaki’s formula for Umegaki’s relative entropy. Our divergence satisfies several of the usual desirable properties, upper bounds the sandwiched Renyi entropy and reduces to the fidelity in a limit. As an illustration, we use the formula in quantum field theory to compute our divergence between the vacuum in a bipartite system and an “orbifolded”—in the sense of a conditional expectation—system in terms of the Jones index. We take the opportunity to point out an entropic certainty relation associated with an inclusion of von Neumann factors related to the relative entropy. This certainty relation has an equivalent formulation in terms of error correcting codes.

Memory-efficient nonsmooth dynamic optimization using adaptive randomized compression

Dynamic optimization problems arise in many applications including flow control, full waveform inversion, and medical imaging. These problems are plagued by significant computational challenges. One such challenge — and the focus of this work — is the memory limitation induced by the size of the underlying dynamical system. In particular, the entire dynamic trajectory is required for derivative computation and therefore must be stored or recomputed using, e.g., checkpointing. Although recent work demonstrated the use of adaptive randomized sketching to overcome the memory challenge, that work only applies to smooth unconstrained problems, prohibiting its use for nonsmooth regularized and constrained problems. The inclusion of nonsmooth regularizers and constraints is critical as they often arise in an attempt to preserve certain physical properties or to promote sparsity. To solve these problems, we introduce a trust-region algorithm for minimizing the sum of a smooth nonconvex function and a nonsmooth convex function that leverages randomized sketching to compress the dynamical system trajectories and adaptively adjust the sketch rank to satisfy a gradient inexactness condition. We prove convergence of this algorithm and demonstrate that it achieves substantial memory reduction on three discretized PDE-constrained optimization applications.

Metasomatic Alteration of Type 3 Ordinary and Carbonaceous Chondrites

Metasomatism refers to the process during which a pre-existing rock undergoes compositional and mineralogical transformations associated with chemical reactions triggered by the reaction of fluids which invade the protolith. It changes chemical compositions of minerals, promotes their dissolution and precipitation of new minerals. In this paper, we review metasomatic alteration of type 3 ordinary (H, L, LL) and carbonaceous (CV, CO, CK) chondrites, including (i) secondary mineralization, (ii) physicochemical conditions, (iii) chronology ( 53 Mn- 53 Cr, 26 Al- 26 Mg, 129 I- 129 Xe) of metasomatic alteration, (iv) records of metasomatic alteration in H, O, N, C, S, and Cl isotopic systematics, (v) effects of metasomatic alteration on O- and Al-Mg-isotope systematics of primary minerals in chondrules and refractory inclusions, and (vi) sources of water ices in metasomatically altered CV, CO, and ordinary chondrites, and outline future studies.
