Given a compact doubling metric measure space
What we mean by species and whether they have any biological reality has been debated since the early days of evolutionary biology. Some biologists even suggest that plant species are created by taxonomists as a subjective, artificial division of nature. However, the nature of plant species has been rarely tested critically with data while ignoring taxonomy. We integrate phenomic and genomic data collected across hundreds of individuals at a continental scale to investigate this question in

Abstract X that supports a 2-Poincaré inequality, we construct a Dirichlet form on that is comparable to the upper gradient energy form on$$N^{1,2}(X)$$ . Our approach is based on the approximation of$$N^{1,2}(X)$$ X by a family of graphs that is doubling and supports a 2-Poincaré inequality (see [20]). We construct a bilinear form on using the Dirichlet form on the graph. We show that the$$N^{1,2}(X)$$ -limit$$\Gamma $$ of this family of bilinear forms (by taking a subsequence) exists and that$$\mathcal {E}$$ is a Dirichlet form on$$\mathcal {E}$$ X . Properties of are established. Moreover, we prove that$$\mathcal {E}$$ has the property of matching boundary values on a domain$$\mathcal {E}$$ . This construction makes it possible to approximate harmonic functions (with respect to the Dirichlet form$$\Omega \subseteq X$$ ) on a domain in$$\mathcal {E}$$ X with a prescribed Lipschitz boundary data via a numerical scheme dictated by the approximating Dirichlet forms, which are discrete objects. -
Abstract We propose a new measurement of the ratio of positron-proton to electron-proton elastic scattering at DESY. The purpose is to determine the contributions beyond single-photon exchange, which are essential for the Quantum Electrodynamic (QED) description of the most fundamental process in hadronic physics. By utilizing a 20 cm long liquid hydrogen target in conjunction with the extracted beam from the DESY synchrotron, we can achieve an average luminosity of
cm$$2.12\times 10^{35}$$ s$$^{-2}\cdot $$ ($$^{-1}$$ times the luminosity achieved by OLYMPUS). The proposed two-photon exchange experiment (TPEX) entails a commissioning run at a beam energy of 2 GeV, followed by measurements at 3 GeV, thereby providing new data up to$$\approx 200$$ (GeV/$$Q^2=4.6$$ c ) (twice the range of current measurements). We present and discuss the proposed experimental setup, run plan, and expectations.$$^2$$ -
Abstract We perform path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD), ring-polymer MD (RPMD), and classical MD simulations of H
O and D$$_2$$ O using the q-TIP4P/F water model over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The density$$_2$$ , isothermal compressibility$$\rho (T)$$ , and self-diffusion coefficients$$\kappa _T(T)$$ D (T ) of H O and D$$_2$$ O are in excellent agreement with available experimental data; the isobaric heat capacity$$_2$$ obtained from PIMD and MD simulations agree qualitatively well with the experiments. Some of these thermodynamic properties exhibit anomalous maxima upon isobaric cooling, consistent with recent experiments and with the possibility that H$$C_P(T)$$ O and D$$_2$$ O exhibit a liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) at low temperatures and positive pressures. The data from PIMD/MD for H$$_2$$ O and D$$_2$$ O can be fitted remarkably well using the Two-State-Equation-of-State (TSEOS). Using the TSEOS, we estimate that the LLCP for q-TIP4P/F H$$_2$$ O, from PIMD simulations, is located at$$_2$$ MPa,$$P_c = 167 \pm 9$$ K, and$$T_c = 159 \pm 6$$ g/cm$$\rho _c = 1.02 \pm 0.01$$ . Isotope substitution effects are important; the LLCP location in q-TIP4P/F D$$^3$$ O is estimated to be$$_2$$ MPa,$$P_c = 176 \pm 4$$ K, and$$T_c = 177 \pm 2$$ g/cm$$\rho _c = 1.13 \pm 0.01$$ . Interestingly, for the water model studied, differences in the LLCP location from PIMD and MD simulations suggest that nuclear quantum effects (i.e., atoms delocalization) play an important role in the thermodynamics of water around the LLCP (from the MD simulations of q-TIP4P/F water,$$^3$$ MPa,$$P_c = 203 \pm 4$$ K, and$$T_c = 175 \pm 2$$ g/cm$$\rho _c = 1.03 \pm 0.01$$ ). Overall, our results strongly support the LLPT scenario to explain water anomalous behavior, independently of the fundamental differences between classical MD and PIMD techniques. The reported values of$$^3$$ for D$$T_c$$ O and, particularly, H$$_2$$ O suggest that improved water models are needed for the study of supercooled water.$$_2$$ -
Abstract Recent spectacular advances by AI programs in 3D structure predictions from protein sequences have revolutionized the field in terms of accuracy and speed. The resulting “folding frenzy” has already produced predicted protein structure databases for the entire human and other organisms’ proteomes. However, rapidly ascertaining a predicted structure’s reliability based on measured properties in solution should be considered. Shape-sensitive hydrodynamic parameters such as the diffusion and sedimentation coefficients (
,$${D_{t(20,w)}^{0}}$$ ) and the intrinsic viscosity ([$${s_{{\left( {{20},w} \right)}}^{{0}} }$$ η ]) can provide a rapid assessment of the overall structure likeliness, and SAXS would yield the structure-related pair-wise distance distribution functionp (r ) vs.r . Using the extensively validated UltraScan SOlution MOdeler (US-SOMO) suite, a database was implemented calculating from AlphaFold structures the corresponding ,$${D_{t(20,w)}^{0}}$$ , [$${s_{{\left( {{20},w} \right)}}^{{0}} }$$ η ],p (r ) vs.r , and other parameters. Circular dichroism spectra were computed using the SESCA program. Some of AlphaFold’s drawbacks were mitigated, such as generating whenever possible a protein’s mature form. Others, like the AlphaFold direct applicability to single-chain structures only, the absence of prosthetic groups, or flexibility issues, are discussed. Overall, this implementation of the US-SOMO-AF database should already aid in rapidly evaluating the consistency in solution of a relevant portion of AlphaFold predicted protein structures. -
Abstract We report on a measurement of Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) in hard exclusive
meson muoproduction at COMPASS using 160 GeV/$$\rho ^0$$ c polarised and$$ \mu ^{+}$$ beams impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. The measurement covers the kinematic range 5.0 GeV/$$ \mu ^{-}$$ $$c^2$$ 17.0 GeV/$$< W<$$ , 1.0 (GeV/$$c^2$$ c )$$^2$$ 10.0 (GeV/$$< Q^2<$$ c ) and 0.01 (GeV/$$^2$$ c )$$^2$$ 0.5 (GeV/$$< p_{\textrm{T}}^2<$$ c ) . Here,$$^2$$ W denotes the mass of the final hadronic system, the virtuality of the exchanged photon, and$$Q^2$$ the transverse momentum of the$$p_{\textrm{T}}$$ meson with respect to the virtual-photon direction. The measured non-zero SDMEs for the transitions of transversely polarised virtual photons to longitudinally polarised vector mesons ($$\rho ^0$$ ) indicate a violation of$$\gamma ^*_T \rightarrow V^{ }_L$$ s -channel helicity conservation. Additionally, we observe a dominant contribution of natural-parity-exchange transitions and a very small contribution of unnatural-parity-exchange transitions, which is compatible with zero within experimental uncertainties. The results provide important input for modelling Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs). In particular, they may allow one to evaluate in a model-dependent way the role of parton helicity-flip GPDs in exclusive production.$$\rho ^0$$
