    Understanding how the vertebrate brain coordinates behavior requires recording its activity across the whole brain and at the speed of neural dynamics. We use light-field microscopy (LFM) to image behaving larval zebrafish volumetrically and at high frame rates, capturing calcium activity across the entire brain while the animal responds to visual stimuli and generates swimming, eye, and fin...

    Einleitung
    Die virtuelle OP-Planung (VSP) spielt eine zunehmende Bedeutung in der maxillofazialen Traumatologie. Voraussetzung dafür ist die Segmentierung von 3D-Bilddatensätzen zur Erstellung von 3D-Oberflächendaten. Es existiert bisher kein frei zugängliches System zur automatisierten Segmentierung und Fragmentseparierung von Unterkieferfrakturen anhand von CT-Datensätzen. Ziel ist es,...

    The gastrointestinal tract of chickens harbors complex microbial communities that play vital roles in host nutrition, physiological development, and immune regulation [1]. While bacterial microbiomes in poultry have been extensively characterized, the viral communities, or virome, remain poorly understood. However, the virome has significant potential to alter bacterial communities through...

    The exponential growth of research data demands scalable and resilient
    storage infrastructures that can span institutional boundaries while
    maintaining seamless data accessibility. This work presents the design
    and operational concept of a hierarchical storage management (HSM)
    system deployed across two geographically distinct sites to support
    collaborative scientific projects. This HSM...

    Research software has become an essential part of modern science, but many research groups struggle to develop and maintain code that is efficient, scalable, and sustainable. This is especially important as researchers turn to high-performance computing (HPC) systems to analyse increasingly larger datasets and perform more complex simulations. Common reasons for these include time constraints,...

    We propose a continuous-time framework to estimate time-invariant information shares. For this purpose, we employ a cointegrated CAR(k) process which accounts for the degree of temporal aggregation in the observable time series and avoids the many lags needed to specify discrete-time models for high-frequency data. We estimate the parameters by maximizing the Gaussian likelihood and...

    In plant cells, proteins marked with ubiquitin are degraded via the ESCRT machinery. This process is tightly regulated, for instance by ubiquitylating and deubiquitylating enzymes. One of these is OTU11, a deubiquitylating enzyme found in Arabidopsis thaliana [1]. Proteomics studies have identified six phosphorylation sites on the N-terminal frame of OTU11. Posttranslational modifications like...

    Genomic selection has become a powerful tool in sugar beet breeding, but genotyping costs remain a barrier to routine, large-scale application. Phenomic selection, using seed near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and UAV-derived field phenotyping as a cheaper alternative to marker-based prediction, is gaining attention, but rigorously benchmarking such pipelines across many genotypes,...

    Myo-inositol (MI) is a biologically important cyclitol involved in diverse physiological processes in animals, yet its role as a substrate for intestinal microbial communities remains poorly understood. Although genomic studies have suggested that gut microorganisms possess pathways associated with MI degradation, experimental evidence demonstrating active MI utilization within the poultry...

    The state initiative for research data management (RDM) in Baden-Württemberg [bwFDM][1] is advancing RDM support on the state level by implementing a new helpdesk system that will provide faster, more efficient support for researchers and staff at research institutions in Baden-Württemberg. Furthermore, the RDM community in Baden-Württemberg shall be actively involved in this process.

    Key-note

    We will present recent results in three areas related to neutron stars and gravitational waves, obtained through large-scale numerical simulations on modern high-performance computing systems:
    A. The fully nonlinear evolution of neutron-star dynamics and the associated gravitational-wave spectra.
    B. The dynamics of interacting neutron stars prior to merger, together with the emission of...

    Due to high prototyping costs, modern semiconductor design relies on extensive signoff simulations to verify the electrical
    performance and reliability of complex integrated circuits before production.
    As technology nodes continue to shrink and circuit complexity grows, the computational requirements of these simulations can
    become a significant bottleneck in the design...

    In this contribution we contrast parallelization of extended
    genetic and evolutionary algorithms by global generational
    parallelization (a master-slave architecture) with island
    models (a message-passing architecture). The first class
    of algorithms uses a single large population where mating of individuals
    is unrestricted, whereas the second class of algorithms uses multiple
    populations...

    Processes in electrochemical energy storage and conversion are critical to mitigate the detrimental effects of global warming. We will show that atomistic simulations based on quantum chemical methods together with machine-learning approaches can contribute to improve, e.g., the ion mobility and stability of battery materials and the catalytic activity of electrochemical interfaces.

    Bacterial infections pose a serious challenge due to antibiotic resistance; bacteria rapidly adapt to drugs used in clinical practice, resulting in high mortality rates. A deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens enter host cells provides a foundation for developing new, non-antibiotic strategies to combat these pathogens.

    Arrays of individually controlled atoms and ions have emerged as a leading experimental platform for both the exploration of complex quantum matter and the development of quantum technologies. However, guiding these efforts with reliable theoretical predictions is hard: the numerical cost of exact calculations grows exponentially with system size and quickly overwhelms even the largest...

    Batteries, fuel cells, photocells and many other applications are powered by fundamental electrochemical processes. Compared to surface science under UHV conditions, electrochemical systems combine a wide variety of additional effects. These range from the presence of an electrolyte and a multi-component environment to reaction conditions such as finite temperature, pressure, and electrode...

    Mitochondria harbor a largely unexplored layer of genetic information beyond the 37 canonical genes currently represented in standard annotations. Recent studies have revealed that an increasing number of non-canonical mitochondrial transcripts and mitochondrial-derived microproteins (MDPs) can act as biologically active molecules involved in cellular stress responses, metabolic regulation,...

    The lack of standardized DNA extraction protocols in pig microbiome research limits reproducibility and cross-study comparability. This challenge becomes even more important in large-scale studies that generate substantial sequencing data and require coordinated, high-throughput computational analysis. To address this, we conducted a large-scale, multi-center validation study across six...

    The geographic scope of a reduced-scope electricity market model, how many zones it represents, and which ones, is a basic design choice. It is also a costly one: data preparation and simulation runtime scale sharply with the number of zones included, and can rise by several orders of magnitude when a full continental model is simulated in place of a single-zone one. Yet how this design choice...

    We present a framework for molecular vibrational coordinate optimisation based on generative machine-learning methods, in particular normalising flows.
    The computational cost of vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) calculations is largely determined by the size of the correlation space. We show that this space can be substantially reduced by optimising curvilinear coordinates...
