  text: While showing great promise, Bitcoin requires users to wait tens of minutes
    for transactions to commit, and even then, offering only probabilistic guarantees.
    This paper introduces ByzCoin, a novel Byzantine consensus protocol that leverages
    scalable collective signing to commit Bitcoin transactions irreversibly within
    seconds. ByzCoin achieves Byzantine consensus while preserving Bitcoin’s open
    membership by dynamically forming hash power-proportionate consensus groups that
    represent recently-successful block miners. ByzCoin employs communication trees
    to optimize transaction commitment and verification under normal operation while
    guaranteeing safety and liveness under Byzantine faults, up to a near-optimal
    tolerance of f faulty group members among 3f + 2 total. ByzCoin mitigates double
    spending and selfish mining attacks by producing collectively signed transaction
    blocks within one minute of transaction submission. Tree-structured communication
    further reduces this latency to less than 30 seconds. Due to these optimizations,
    ByzCoin achieves a throughput higher than Paypal currently handles, with a confirmation
    latency of 15-20 seconds.

  text: Targeting protein–protein interactions has long been considered as a very
    difficult if impossible task, but over the past decade, front lines have moved.
    The number of successful examples is exponentially growing. This review presents
    a rapid overview of recent advances in this field considering the strengths and
    weaknesses of the small molecule approaches and alternative strategies such as
    the selection or design of artificial antibodies, peptides or peptidomimetics.

  text: 'Biological systems often involve the self-assembly of basic components into
    complex and functioning structures. Artificial systems that mimic such processes
    can provide a well-controlled setting to explore the principles involved and also
    synthesize useful micromachines. Our experiments show that immotile, but active,
    components self-assemble into two types of structure that exhibit the fundamental
    forms of motility: translation and rotation. Specifically, micron-scale metallic
    rods are designed to induce extensile surface flows in the presence of a chemical
    fuel; these rods interact with each other and pair up to form either a swimmer
    or a rotor. Such pairs can transition reversibly between these two configurations,
    leading to kinetics reminiscent of bacterial run-and-tumble motion.'

  text: We describe colloidal Janus particles with metallic and dielectric faces that
    swim vigorously when illuminated by defocused optical tweezers without consuming
    any chemical fuel. Rather than wandering randomly, these optically-activated colloidal
    swimmers circulate back and forth through the beam of light, tracing out sinuous
    rosette patterns. We propose a model for this mode of light-activated transport
    that accounts for the observed behavior through a combination of self-thermophoresis
    and optically-induced torque. In the deterministic limit, this model yields trajectories
    that resemble rosette curves known as hypotrochoids.

  text: 'Expected changes to future extreme precipitation remain a key uncertainty
    associated with anthropogenic climate change. Extreme precipitation has been proposed
    to scale with the precipitable water content in the atmosphere. Assuming constant
    relative humidity, this implies an increase of precipitation extremes at a rate
    of about 7% °C−1 globally as indicated by the Clausius‐Clapeyron relationship.
    Increases faster and slower than Clausius‐Clapeyron have also been reported. In
    this work, we examine the scaling between precipitation extremes and temperature
    in the present climate using simulations and measurements from surface weather
    stations collected in the frame of the HyMeX and MED‐CORDEX programs in Southern
    France. Of particular interest are departures from the Clausius‐Clapeyron thermodynamic
    expectation, their spatial and temporal distribution, and their origin. Looking
    at the scaling of precipitation extreme with temperature, two regimes emerge which
    form a hook shape: one at low temperatures (cooler than around 15°C) with rates
    of increase close to the Clausius‐Clapeyron rate and one at high temperatures
    (warmer than about 15°C) with sub‐Clausius‐Clapeyron rates and most often negative
    rates. On average, the region of focus does not seem to exhibit super Clausius‐Clapeyron
    behavior except at some stations, in contrast to earlier studies. Many factors
    can contribute to departure from Clausius‐Clapeyron scaling: time and spatial
    averaging, choice of scaling temperature (surface versus condensation level),
    and precipitation efficiency and vertical velocity in updrafts that are not necessarily
    constant with temperature. But most importantly, the dynamical contribution of
    orography to precipitation in the fall over this area during the so‐called “Cevenoles”
    events, explains the hook shape of the scaling of precipitation extremes.'

  text: The discovery of introns four decades ago was one of the most unexpected findings
    in molecular biology. Introns are sequences interrupting genes that must be removed
    as part of messenger RNA production. Genome sequencing projects have shown that
    most eukaryotic genes contain at least one intron, and frequently many. Comparison
    of these genomes reveals a history of long evolutionary periods during which few
    introns were gained, punctuated by episodes of rapid, extensive gain. However,
    although several detailed mechanisms for such episodic intron generation have
    been proposed, none has been empirically supported on a genomic scale. Here we
    show how short, non-autonomous DNA transposons independently generated hundreds
    to thousands of introns in the prasinophyte Micromonas pusilla and the pelagophyte
    Aureococcus anophagefferens. Each transposon carries one splice site. The other
    splice site is co-opted from the gene sequence that is duplicated upon transposon
    insertion, allowing perfect splicing out of the RNA. The distributions of sequences
    that can be co-opted are biased with respect to codons, and phasing of transposon-generated
    introns is similarly biased. These transposons insert between pre-existing nucleosomes,
    so that multiple nearby insertions generate nucleosome-sized intervening segments.
    Thus, transposon insertion and sequence co-option may explain the intron phase
    biases and prevalence of nucleosome-sized exons observed in eukaryotes. Overall,
    the two independent examples of proliferating elements illustrate a general DNA
    transposon mechanism that can plausibly account for episodes of rapid, extensive
    intron gain during eukaryotic evolution.

  text: Cytosine DNA methylation regulates the expression of eukaryotic genes and
    transposons. Methylation is copied by methyltransferases after DNA replication,
    which results in faithful transmission of methylation patterns during cell division
    and, at least in flowering plants, across generations. Transgenerational inheritance
    is mediated by a small group of cells that includes gametes and their progenitors.
    However, methylation is usually analyzed in somatic tissues that do not contribute
    to the next generation, and the mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance are
    inferred from such studies. To gain a better understanding of how DNA methylation
    is inherited, we analyzed purified Arabidopsis thaliana sperm and vegetative cells-the
    cell types that comprise pollen-with mutations in the DRM, CMT2, and CMT3 methyltransferases.
    We find that DNA methylation dependency on these enzymes is similar in sperm,
    vegetative cells, and somatic tissues, although DRM activity extends into heterochromatin
    in vegetative cells, likely reflecting transcription of heterochromatic transposons
    in this cell type. We also show that lack of histone H1, which elevates heterochromatic
    DNA methylation in somatic tissues, does not have this effect in pollen. Instead,
    levels of CG methylation in wild-type sperm and vegetative cells, as well as in
    wild-type microspores from which both pollen cell types originate, are substantially
    higher than in wild-type somatic tissues and similar to those of H1-depleted roots.
    Our results demonstrate that the mechanisms of methylation maintenance are similar
    between pollen and somatic cells, but the efficiency of CG methylation is higher
    in pollen, allowing methylation patterns to be accurately inherited across generations.

  text: Cytosine methylation is a DNA modification with important regulatory functions
    in eukaryotes. In flowering plants, sexual reproduction is accompanied by extensive
    DNA demethylation, which is required for proper gene expression in the endosperm,
    a nutritive extraembryonic seed tissue. Endosperm arises from a fusion of a sperm
    cell carried in the pollen and a female central cell. Endosperm DNA demethylation
    is observed specifically on the chromosomes inherited from the central cell in
    Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, and maize, and requires the DEMETER DNA demethylase
    in Arabidopsis. DEMETER is expressed in the central cell before fertilization,
    suggesting that endosperm demethylation patterns are inherited from the central
    cell. Down-regulation of the MET1 DNA methyltransferase has also been proposed
    to contribute to central cell demethylation. However, with the exception of three
    maize genes, central cell DNA methylation has not been directly measured, leaving
    the origin and mechanism of endosperm demethylation uncertain. Here, we report
    genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in the central cells of Arabidopsis and
    rice—species that diverged 150 million years ago—as well as in rice egg cells.
    We find that DNA demethylation in both species is initiated in central cells,
    which requires DEMETER in Arabidopsis. However, we do not observe a global reduction
    of CG methylation that would be indicative of lowered MET1 activity; on the contrary,
    CG methylation efficiency is elevated in female gametes compared with nonsexual
    tissues. Our results demonstrate that locus-specific, active DNA demethylation
    in the central cell is the origin of maternal chromosome hypomethylation in the
    endosperm.

  text: Experience constantly shapes neural circuits through a variety of plasticity
    mechanisms. While the functional roles of some plasticity mechanisms are well-understood,
    it remains unclear how changes in neural excitability contribute to learning.
    Here, we develop a normative interpretation of intrinsic plasticity (IP) as a
    key component of unsupervised learning. We introduce a novel generative mixture
    model that accounts for the class-specific statistics of stimulus intensities,
    and we derive a neural circuit that learns the input classes and their intensities.
    We will analytically show that inference and learning for our generative model
    can be achieved by a neural circuit with intensity-sensitive neurons equipped
    with a specific form of IP. Numerical experiments verify our analytical derivations
    and show robust behavior for artificial and natural stimuli. Our results link
    IP to non-trivial input statistics, in particular the statistics of stimulus intensities
    for classes to which a neuron is sensitive. More generally, our work paves the
    way toward new classification algorithms that are robust to intensity variations.

  text: We give several results showing that different discrete structures typically
    gain certain spanning substructures (in particular, Hamilton cycles) after a modest
    random perturbation. First, we prove that adding linearly many random edges to
    a dense k-uniform hypergraph ensures the (asymptotically almost sure) existence
    of a perfect matching or a loose Hamilton cycle. The proof involves an interesting
    application of Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma, which might be independently useful.
    We next prove that digraphs with certain strong expansion properties are pancyclic,
    and use this to show that adding a linear number of random edges typically makes
    a dense digraph pancyclic. Finally, we prove that perturbing a certain (minimum-degree-dependent)
    number of random edges in a tournament typically ensures the existence of multiple
    edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. All our results are tight.

  text: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have contributed significantly to the
    current biodiversity crisis, leading to widespread epidemics and population loss.
    Owing to genetic variation in pathogen virulence, a complete understanding of
    species decline requires the accurate identification and characterization of EIDs.
    We explore this issue in the Western honeybee, where increasing mortality of populations
    in the Northern Hemisphere has caused major concern. Specifically, we investigate
    the importance of genetic identity of the main suspect in mortality, deformed
    wing virus (DWV), in driving honeybee loss. Using laboratory experiments and a
    systematic field survey, we demonstrate that an emerging DWV genotype (DWV-B)
    is more virulent than the established DWV genotype (DWV-A) and is widespread in
    the landscape. Furthermore, we show in a simple model that colonies infected with
    DWV-B collapse sooner than colonies infected with DWV-A. We also identify potential
    for rapid DWV evolution by revealing extensive genome-wide recombination in vivo.
    The emergence of DWV-B in naive honeybee populations, including via recombination
    with DWV-A, could be of significant ecological and economic importance. Our findings
    emphasize that knowledge of pathogen genetic identity and diversity is critical
    to understanding drivers of species decline.

  text: Much of quantitative genetics is based on the ‘infinitesimal model’, under
    which selection has a negligible effect on the genetic variance. This is typically
    justified by assuming a very large number of loci with additive effects. However,
    it applies even when genes interact, provided that the number of loci is large
    enough that selection on each of them is weak relative to random drift. In the
    long term, directional selection will change allele frequencies, but even then,
    the effects of epistasis on the ultimate change in trait mean due to selection
    may be modest. Stabilising selection can maintain many traits close to their optima,
    even when the underlying alleles are weakly selected. However, the number of traits
    that can be optimised is apparently limited to ~4Ne by the ‘drift load’, and this
    is hard to reconcile with the apparent complexity of many organisms. Just as for
    the mutation load, this limit can be evaded by a particular form of negative epistasis.
    A more robust limit is set by the variance in reproductive success. This suggests
    that selection accumulates information most efficiently in the infinitesimal regime,
    when selection on individual alleles is weak, and comparable with random drift.
    A review of evidence on selection strength suggests that although most variance
    in fitness may be because of alleles with large Nes, substantial amounts of adaptation
    may be because of alleles in the infinitesimal regime, in which epistasis has
    modest effects.

  text: 'Summary: Declining populations of bee pollinators are a cause of concern,
    with major repercussions for biodiversity loss and food security. RNA viruses
    associated with honeybees represent a potential threat to other insect pollinators,
    but the extent of this threat is poorly understood. This study aims to attain
    a detailed understanding of the current and ongoing risk of emerging infectious
    disease (EID) transmission between managed and wild pollinator species across
    a wide range of RNA viruses. Within a structured large-scale national survey across
    26 independent sites, we quantify the prevalence and pathogen loads of multiple
    RNA viruses in co-occurring managed honeybee (Apis mellifera) and wild bumblebee
    (Bombus spp.) populations. We then construct models that compare virus prevalence
    between wild and managed pollinators. Multiple RNA viruses associated with honeybees
    are widespread in sympatric wild bumblebee populations. Virus prevalence in honeybees
    is a significant predictor of virus prevalence in bumblebees, but we remain cautious
    in speculating over the principle direction of pathogen transmission. We demonstrate
    species-specific differences in prevalence, indicating significant variation in
    disease susceptibility or tolerance. Pathogen loads within individual bumblebees
    may be high and in the case of at least one RNA virus, prevalence is higher in
    wild bumblebees than in managed honeybee populations. Our findings indicate widespread
    transmission of RNA viruses between managed and wild bee pollinators, pointing
    to an interconnected network of potential disease pressures within and among pollinator
    species. In the context of the biodiversity crisis, our study emphasizes the importance
    of targeting a wide range of pathogens and defining host associations when considering
    potential drivers of population decline.'

  text: 'Magic: the Gathering is a game about magical combat for any number of players.
    Formally it is a zero-sum, imperfect information stochastic game that consists
    of a potentially unbounded number of steps. We consider the problem of deciding
    if a move is legal in a given single step of Magic. We show that the problem is
    (a) coNP-complete in general; and (b) in P if either of two small sets of cards
    are not used. Our lower bound holds even for single-player Magic games. The significant
    aspects of our results are as follows: First, in most real-life game problems,
    the task of deciding whether a given move is legal in a single step is trivial,
    and the computationally hard task is to find the best sequence of legal moves
    in the presence of multiple players. In contrast, quite uniquely our hardness
    result holds for single step and with only one-player. Second, we establish efficient
    algorithms for important special cases of Magic.'

  text: Graph games provide the foundation for modeling and synthesizing reactive
    processes. In the synthesis of stochastic reactive processes, the traditional
    model is perfect-information stochastic games, where some transitions of the game
    graph are controlled by two adversarial players, and the other transitions are
    executed probabilistically. We consider such games where the objective is the
    conjunction of several quantitative objectives (specified as mean-payoff conditions),
    which we refer to as generalized mean-payoff objectives. The basic decision problem
    asks for the existence of a finite-memory strategy for a player that ensures the
    generalized mean-payoff objective be satisfied with a desired probability against
    all strategies of the opponent. A special case of the decision problem is the
    almost-sure problem where the desired probability is 1. Previous results presented
    a semi-decision procedure for -approximations of the almost-sure problem. In this
    work, we show that both the almost-sure problem as well as the general basic decision
    problem are coNP-complete, significantly improving the previous results. Moreover,
    we show that in the case of 1-player stochastic games, randomized memoryless strategies
    are sufficient and the problem can be solved in polynomial time. In contrast,
    in two-player stochastic games, we show that even with randomized strategies exponential
    memory is required in general, and present a matching exponential upper bound.
    We also study the basic decision problem with infinite-memory strategies and present
    computational complexity results for the problem. Our results are relevant in
    the synthesis of stochastic reactive systems with multiple quantitative requirements.

  text: 'The CLE (CLAVATA3/Embryo Surrounding Region-related) peptides are small secreted
    signaling peptides that are primarily involved in the regulation of stem cell
    homeostasis in different plant meristems. Particularly, the characterization of
    the CLE41-PXY/TDR signaling pathway has greatly advanced our understanding on
    the potential roles of CLE peptides in vascular development and wood formation.
    Nevertheless, our knowledge on this gene family in a tree species is limited.
    In a recent study, we reported on a systematically investigation of the CLE gene
    family in Populus trichocarpa . The potential roles of PtCLE genes were studied
    by comparative analysis and transcriptional pro fi ling. Among fi fty PtCLE members,
    many PtCLE proteins share identical CLE motifs or contain the same CLE motif as
    that of AtCLEs, while PtCLE genes exhibited either comparable or distinct expression
    patterns comparing to their Arabidopsis counterparts. These fi ndings indicate
    the existence of both functional conservation and functional divergence between
    PtCLEs and their AtCLE orthologues. Our results provide valuable resources for
    future functional investigations of these critical signaling molecules in woody
    plants. '

  text: 'We consider the quantitative analysis problem for interprocedural control-flow
    graphs (ICFGs). The input consists of an ICFG, a positive weight function that
    assigns every transition a positive integer-valued number, and a labelling of
    the transitions (events) as good, bad, and neutral events. The weight function
    assigns to each transition a numerical value that represents ameasure of how good
    or bad an event is. The quantitative analysis problem asks whether there is a
    run of the ICFG where the ratio of the sum of the numerical weights of good events
    versus the sum of weights of bad events in the long-run is at least a given threshold
    (or equivalently, to compute the maximal ratio among all valid paths in the ICFG).
    The quantitative analysis problem for ICFGs can be solved in polynomial time,
    and we present an efficient and practical algorithm for the problem. We show that
    several problems relevant for static program analysis, such as estimating the
    worst-case execution time of a program or the average energy consumption of a
    mobile application, can be modeled in our framework. We have implemented our algorithm
    as a tool in the Java Soot framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our
    approach with two case studies. First, we show that our framework provides a sound
    approach (no false positives) for the analysis of inefficiently-used containers.
    Second, we show that our approach can also be used for static profiling of programs
    which reasons about methods that are frequently invoked. Our experimental results
    show that our tool scales to relatively large benchmarks, and discovers relevant
    and useful information that can be used to optimize performance of the programs. '

  text: "We study the problem of developing efficient approaches for proving termination
    of recursive programs with one-dimensional arrays. Ranking functions serve as
    a sound and complete approach for proving termination of non-recursive programs
    without array operations. First, we generalize ranking functions to the notion
    of measure functions, and prove that measure functions (i) provide a sound method
    to prove termination of recursive programs (with one-dimensional arrays), and
    (ii) is both sound and complete over recursive programs without array operations.
    Our second contribution is the synthesis of measure functions of specific forms
    in polynomial time. More precisely, we prove that (i) polynomial measure functions
    over recursive programs can be synthesized in polynomial time through Farkas’
    Lemma and Handelman’s Theorem, and (ii) measure functions involving logarithm
    and exponentiation can be synthesized in polynomial time through abstraction of
    logarithmic or exponential terms and Handelman’s Theorem. A key application of
    our method is the worst-case analysis of recursive programs. While previous methods
    obtain worst-case polynomial bounds of the form O(n^k), where k is an integer,
    our polynomial time methods can synthesize bounds of the form O(n log n), as well
    as O(n^x), where x is not an integer. We show the applicability of our automated
    technique to obtain worst-case complexity of classical recursive algorithms such
    as (i) Merge-Sort, the divideand-\r\nconquer algorithm for the Closest-Pair problem,
    where we obtain O(n log n) worst-case bound, and (ii) Karatsuba’s algorithm for
    polynomial multiplication and Strassen’s algorithm for matrix multiplication,
    where we obtain O(n^x) bound, where x is not an integer and close to the best-known
    bounds for the respective algorithms. Finally, we present experimental results
    to demonstrate the\r\neffectiveness of our approach."

  text: "We consider the problem of developing automated techniques to aid the average-case
    complexity analysis of programs. Several classical textbook algorithms have quite
    efficient average-case complexity, whereas the corresponding worst-case bounds
    are either inefficient (e.g., QUICK-SORT), or completely ineffective (e.g., COUPONCOLLECTOR).
    Since the main focus of average-case analysis is to obtain efficient bounds, we
    consider bounds that are either logarithmic,\r\nlinear, or almost-linear (O(log
    n), O(n), O(n · log n),\r\nrespectively, where n represents the size of the input).
    Our main contribution is a sound approach for deriving such average-case bounds
    for randomized recursive programs. Our approach is efficient (a simple linear-time
    algorithm), and it is based on (a) the analysis of recurrence relations induced
    by randomized algorithms, and (b) a guess-and-check technique. Our approach can
    infer the asymptotically optimal average-case bounds for classical randomized
    algorithms, including RANDOMIZED-SEARCH, QUICKSORT, QUICK-SELECT, COUPON-COLLECTOR,
    where the worstcase\r\nbounds are either inefficient (such as linear as compared
    to logarithmic of average-case, or quadratic as compared to linear or almost-linear
    of average-case), or ineffective. We have implemented our approach, and the experimental
    results show that we obtain the bounds efficiently for various classical algorithms."

  text: "We present a new dynamic partial-order reduction method for stateless model
    checking of concurrent programs. A common approach for exploring program behaviors
    relies on enumerating the traces of the program, without storing the visited states
    (aka stateless exploration). As the number of distinct traces grows exponentially,
    dynamic partial-order reduction (DPOR) techniques have been successfully used
    to partition the space of traces into equivalence classes (Mazurkiewicz partitioning),
    with the goal of exploring only few representative traces from each class.\r\nWe
    introduce a new equivalence on traces under sequential consistency semantics,
    which we call the observation equivalence. Two traces are observationally equivalent
    if every read event observes the same write event in both traces. While the traditional
    Mazurkiewicz equivalence is control-centric, our new definition is data-centric.
    We show that our observation equivalence is coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence,
    and in many cases even exponentially coarser. We devise a DPOR exploration of
    the trace space, called data-centric DPOR, based on the observation equivalence.\r\n1.
    For acyclic architectures, our algorithm is guaranteed to explore exactly one
    representative trace from each observation class, while spending polynomial time
    per class. Hence, our algorithm is optimal wrt the observation equivalence, and
    in several cases explores exponentially fewer traces than any enumerative method
    based on the Mazurkiewicz equivalence.\r\n2. For cyclic architectures, we consider
    an equivalence between traces which is finer than the observation equivalence;
    but coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence, and in some cases is exponentially
    coarser. Our data-centric DPOR algorithm remains optimal under this trace equivalence.
    \r\nFinally, we perform a basic experimental comparison between the existing Mazurkiewicz-based
    DPOR and our data-centric DPOR on a set of academic benchmarks. Our results show
    a significant reduction in both running time and the number of explored equivalence
    classes."
