Stochasticity of cellular growth: sources, propagation and consequences
[article]
2018
bioRxiv
pre-print
Cellular growth impacts a range of phenotypic responses. Identifying the sources of fluctuations in growth and how they propagate across the cellular machinery can unravel mechanisms that underpin cell decisions. We present a stochastic cell model linking gene expression, metabolism and replication to predict growth dynamics in single bacterial cells. In addition to several population-averaged data, the model quantitatively recovers how growth fluctuations in single cells change across nutrient

... conditions. We develop a framework to analyse stochastic chemical reactions coupled with cell divisions and use it to identify sources of growth heterogeneity. By visualising cross-correlations we then determine how such initial fluctuations propagate to growth rate and affect other cell processes. We further study antibiotic responses and find that complex drug-nutrient interactions can both enhance and suppress heterogeneity. Our results provide a predictive framework to integrate single-cell and bulk data and draw testable predictions with implications for antibiotic tolerance, evolutionary biology and synthetic biology.
Entropy production for quasi-adiabatic parameter changes dominated by hydrodynamics
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
A typical strategy of realizing an adiabatic change of a many-particle system is to vary parameters very slowly on a time scale t_r much larger than intrinsic equilibration time scales. In the ideal case of adiabatic state preparation, t_r→∞, the entropy production vanishes. In systems with conservation laws, the approach to the adiabatic limit is hampered by hydrodynamic long-time tails, arising from the algebraically slow relaxation of hydrodynamic fluctuations. We argue that the entropy

... ction Δ S of a diffusive system at finite temperature in one or two dimensions is governed by hydrodynamic modes resulting in Δ S ∼ 1/√(t_r) in d=1 and Δ S ∼ln(t_r)/t_r in d=2. In higher dimensions, entropy production is instead dominated by other high-energy modes with Δ S ∼ 1/t_r. In order to verify the analytic prediction, we simulate the non-equilibrium dynamics of a classical two-component gas with point-like particles in one spatial dimension and examine the total entropy production as a function of t_r.
Two4Two: Evaluating Interpretable Machine Learning - A Synthetic Dataset For Controlled Experiments
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
A growing number of approaches exist to generate explanations for image classification. However, few of these approaches are subjected to human-subject evaluations, partly because it is challenging to design controlled experiments with natural image datasets, as they leave essential factors out of the researcher's control. With our approach, researchers can describe their desired dataset with only a few parameters. Based on these, our library generates synthetic image data of two 3D abstract

... mals. The resulting data is suitable for algorithmic as well as human-subject evaluations. Our user study results demonstrate that our method can create biases predictive enough for a classifier and subtle enough to be noticeable only to every second participant inspecting the data visually. Our approach significantly lowers the barrier for conducting human subject evaluations, thereby facilitating more rigorous investigations into interpretable machine learning.

Toward a Neutral Evolutionary Model of Gene Expression
2005
Genetics
We introduce a stochastic model that describes neutral changes of gene expression over evolutionary time as a compound Poisson process where evolutionary events cause changes of expression level according to a given probability distribution. The model produces simple estimators for model parameters and allows discrimination between symmetric and asymmetric distributions of evolutionary expression changes along an evolutionary lineage. Furthermore, we introduce two measures, the skewness of

... ssion difference distributions and relative difference of evolutionary branch lengths, which are used to quantify deviation from clock-like behavior of gene expression distances. Model-based analyses of gene expression profiles in primate liver and brain samples yield the following results: (1) The majority of gene expression changes are consistent with a neutral model of evolution; (2) along evolutionary lineages, upward changes in expression are less frequent but of greater average magnitude than downward changes; and (3) the skewness measure and the relative branch length difference confirm that an acceleration of gene expression evolution occurred on the human lineage in brain but not in liver. We discuss the latter result with respect to a neutral model of transcriptome evolution and show that a small number of genes expressed in brain can account for the observed data.

A Projection Method on Measures Sets
2016
Constructive approximation
We consider the problem of projecting a probability measure π on a set MN of Radon measures. The projection is defined as a solution of the following variational problem: where h ∈ L 2 (Ω) is a kernel, Ω ⊂ R d and denotes the convolution operator. To motivate and illustrate our study, we show that this problem arises naturally in various practical image rendering problems such as stippling (representing an image with N dots) or continuous line drawing (representing an image with a continuous

We then provide a numerical algorithm to solve a discretized version of the problem and show several illustrations related to computer-assisted synthesis of artistic paintings/drawings. *

Electrically tunable porous silicon active mirrors
2003
phys stat sol (a)
We demonstrate tunable mirrors that consist of a porous silicon microcavity infiltrated with liquid crystal molecules. We show theoretically that by utilizing the electro-optic properties of liquid crystals and the sensitivity of the microcavity resonance position to small changes in optical thickness, the porous silicon active mirror can be switched on (high reflectance) and off (low reflectance) by simply applying a voltage. We discuss the issues of obtaining uniform infiltration of liquid

We also present preliminary experimental results showing a greater than 40% change in the reflectance of our active mirror with the application of voltage.
Setting the Clock for Fail-Safe Early Embryogenesis
2016
Physical Review Letters
Embryogenesis of the small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a remarkably robust selforganization phenomenon. Cell migration trajectories in the early embryo, for example, are well explained by mechanical cues that push cells into positions where they experience least repulsive forces. Yet, how this mechanically guided progress in development is properly timed has remained elusive so far. Here we show that cell volumes and division times are strongly anti-correlated during early embryogenesis

Levoglucosan in urine as marker of PAH exposure
2015
Biomonitoring
selected towns random sampling was performed based on the telephone book. The first 10 families in each town that were reached, fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and agreed to participate were included in the analysis. Inclusion criteria mainly were having a child aged 6-11 years and being a couple (mother and partner) aged 20-50 years living in a common household. Severe chronic diseases were considered exclusion criteria because they could lead to a different lifestyle or affect metabolic

... ways and thus influence biomarkers of chemical exposure. Because levoglucosan is quickly excreted [5] individual measurements would rather reflect chance exposures instead of representing the true regional background. Therefore pooled urine samples from all mothers and children separately of each town producing 10 samples in total were analysed. The chemical methods are described in detail elsewhere [1, 11] . In addition also cotinine in urine and population density were analysed as possible predictors of PAH exposure where cotinine in the pooled samples served as indicator of smoking and passive smoking as a possible source of PAH and population density as a proxy for industrial activity and motorised traffic as the other important PAH source. Hydroxypyrene in the pooled samples was used as a proxy for PAH exposure. The biomonitoring study was approved by the ethics committee of the Medical University of Vienna. Results Levoglucosan was detectable and quantifiable in all 10 samples (limit of detection: 0.15 µg/mg creatinine, limit of quantification: 0.3 µg/mg creatinine). Smoking was considered a possible cause of PAH exposure. Since smoking prevalence differs between urban and rural settings it was considered a possible confounder and therefore was controlled for. Cotinine, nicotine, and nicotine metabolites were detected in nearly all samples. Cotinine was detected always and only once below the limit of quantification (1.1 µg/l) but above the limit of detection (0.54 µg/l). In this case for calculation purposes the arithmetic mean of the two limits (0.8 µg/l) was used. Trans-3'-hydroxycotinine was also detected in
