We introduce MF-Box, an extended version of MFEmulator, designed as a fast surrogate for power spectra, trained using N-body simulation suites from various box sizes and particle loads. To demonstrate MF-Box’s effectiveness, we design simulation suites that include low-fidelity (LF) suites (L1 and L2) at 256 and $100 \, \rm {Mpc\, ~}h^{-1}$, each with 1283 particles, and a high-fidelity (HF) suite with 5123 particles at $256 \, \rm {Mpc\, ~}h^{-1}$, representing a higher particle load compared to the LF suites. MF-Box acts as a probabilistic resolution correction function, learning most of the cosmological dependencies from L1 and L2 simulations and rectifying resolution differences with just three HF simulations using a Gaussian process. MF-Box successfully emulates power spectra from our HF testing set with a relative error of $\lt 3~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ up to $k \simeq 7 \, h\rm {Mpc}{^{-1}}$ at z ∈ [0, 3], while maintaining a cost similar to our previous multifidelity approach, which was accurate only up to z = 1. The addition of an extra LF node in a smaller box significantly improves emulation accuracy for MF-Box at $k \gt 2 \, h\rm {Mpc}{^{-1}}$, increasing it by a factor of 10. We conduct an error analysis of MF-Box based on computational budget, providing guidance for optimizing budget allocation per fidelity node. Our proposed MF-Box enables future surveys to efficiently combine simulation suites of varying quality, effectively expanding the range of emulation capabilities while ensuring cost efficiency.

Abstract Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sequential optimization strategy that is increasingly employed in a wide range of areas including materials design. In real world applications, acquiring high-fidelity (HF) data through physical experiments or HF simulations is the major cost component of BO. To alleviate this bottleneck, multi-fidelity (MF) methods are increasingly used to forgo the sole reliance on the expensive HF data and reduce the sampling costs by querying inexpensive low-fidelity (LF) sources whose data are correlated with HF samples. Existing multi-fidelity BO (MFBO) methods operate under the following two assumptions: (1) Leveraging global (rather than local) correlation between HF and LF sources, and (2) Associating all the data sources with the same noise process. These assumptions dramatically reduce the performance of MFBO when LF sources are only locally correlated with the HF source or when the noise variance varies across the data sources. To dispense with these incorrect assumptions, we propose an MF emulation method that (1) learns a noise model for each data source, and (2) enables BO to leverage highly biased LF sources which are only locally correlated with the HF source. We illustrate the performance of our method through analytical examples and engineering problems on materials design.

Abstract An important manifestation of the background or coseismic deformation surrounding megathrust earthquakes is the offshore microseismicity, which are difficult to be directly detected by land‐based seismic instruments. Here, we improve the capability of detecting offshore events by combining two popular techniques: backprojection (BP) imaging and matched‐filter (MF) detection. The BP method is effective in retrieving offshore seismicity (
Mw > 4.5Mw Mw > 4b values (≥ 1.2) are found close to large aftershocks, possibly indicating localized pockets of small differential stresses. At several locations close to the trench,p values (0.93–1.11) are higher than those in the inland area (0.64–0.85). This may be due to the larger coseismic slip and hence larger stress drop of the outer‐rise normal‐faulting events compared to the deeper thrust‐faulting events. -

Abstract Background Cellulose, an abundant biopolymer, has great potential to be utilized as a renewable fuel feedstock through its enzymatic degradation into soluble sugars followed by sugar fermentation into liquid biofuels. However, crystalline cellulose is highly resistant to hydrolysis, thus industrial-scale production of cellulosic biofuels has been cost-prohibitive to date. Mechanistic studies of enzymes that break down cellulose, called cellulases, are necessary to improve and adapt such biocatalysts for implementation in biofuel production processes.
Thermobifida fusca Cel6B (Tf Cel6B) is a promising candidate for industrial use due to its thermostability and insensitivity to pH changes. However, mechanistic studies probingTf Cel6B hydrolytic activity have been limited to ensemble-scale measurements.Results We utilized optical tweezers to perform single-molecule, nanometer-scale measurements of enzyme displacement during cellulose hydrolysis by
Tf Cel6B. Records featured forward motility on the order of 0.17 nm s−1interrupted by backward motions and long pauses. Processive run lengths were on the order of 5 nm in both forward and backward directions. Motility records also showed rapid bidirectional displacements greater than 5 nm. Single-enzyme velocity and bulk ensemble activity were assayed on multiple crystalline cellulose allomorphs revealing that the degree of crystallinity and hydrogen bonding have disparate effects on the single-molecule level compared to the bulk scale. Additionally, we isolated and monitored the catalytic domain ofTf Cel6B and observed a reduction in velocity compared to the full-length enzyme that includes the carbohydrate-binding module. Applied force has little impact on enzyme velocity yet it readily facilitates dissociation from cellulose. Preliminary measurements at elevated temperatures indicated enzyme velocity strongly increases with temperature.Conclusions The unexpected motility patterns of
Tf Cel6B are likely due to previously unknown mechanisms of processive cellulase motility implicating irregularities in cellulose substrate ultrastructure. WhileTf Cel6B is processive, it has low motility at room temperature. Factors that most dramatically impact enzyme velocity are temperature and the presence of its native carbohydrate-binding module and linker. In contrast, substrate ultrastructure and applied force did not greatly impact velocity. These findings motivate further study ofTf Cel6B for its engineering and potential implementation in industrial processes. -

Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition. Recent research on the ontogenetic timing of skull traits indicates the adult canine can take years to fully erupt, but the consequences of prolonged eruption on inferences of canine functional morphology are missing from current discourse and have not been quantified. Here I evaluate hypotheses about adult canine bending strength and stiffness, respectively, during eruption in the felid
Smilodon fatalis . Simulated eruption sequences of three adult canines were generated from specimen models to assess shifting cross‐sectional geometry properties, and bending strength and stiffness under laterally directed loads were estimated using finite element analysis. Consistent with beam theory expectations,S. fatalis canine cross‐sectional geometry is optimized for increased bending strength with increased erupted height. However, canine cross‐sectional geometry changes through eruption exaggerate rather than minimize lateral deflection. Spatial constraint for maximum root length from adjacent sensory structures in the maxilla and the recently identified universal power law are hypothesized to limit the growth capacity of canine anteroposterior length and, consequently, maintenance of bending stiffness through eruption. Instead, the joint presence of the deciduous and adult canines for >50% of the adult canine eruption period effectively increases canine mediolateral width and brings bending strength and stiffness estimates closer to theoretical optima. Similarly prolonged retention of deciduous canines in other sabertooths suggests dual‐canine buttressing is a convergently evolved strategy to maximize bending strength and stiffness.
