  text: New genes commonly appear through complete or partial duplications of pre-existing
    genes. Duplications of long DNA segments are constantly produced by rare mutations,
    may become fixed in a population by selection or random drift, and are subject
    to divergent evolution of the paralogous sequences after fixation, although gene
    conversion can impede this process. New data shed some light on each of these
    processes. Mutations which involve duplications can occur through at least two
    different mechanisms, backward strand slippage during DNA replication and unequal
    crossing-over. The background rate of duplication of a complete gene in humans
    is 10-9-10-10 per generation, although many genes located within hot-spots of
    large-scale mutation are duplicated much more often. Many gene duplications affect
    fitness strongly, and are responsible, through gene dosage effects, for a number
    of genetic diseases. However, high levels of intrapopulation polymorphism caused
    by presence or absence of long, gene-containing DNA segments imply that some duplications
    are not under strong selection. The polymorphism to fixation ratios appear to
    be approximately the same for gene duplications and for presumably selectively
    neutral nucleotide substitutions, which, according to the McDonald-Kreitman test,
    is consistent with selective neutrality of duplications. However, this pattern
    can also be due to negative selection against most of segregating duplications
    and positive selection for at least some duplications which become fixed. Patterns
    in post-fixation evolution of duplicated genes do not easily reveal the causes
    of fixations. Many gene duplications which became fixed recently in a variety
    of organisms were positively selected because the increased expression of the
    corresponding genes was beneficial. The effects of gene dosage provide a unified
    framework for studying all phases of the life history of a gene duplication. Application
    of well-known methods of evolutionary genetics to accumulating data on new, polymorphic,
    and fixed duplication will enhance our understanding of the role of natural selection
    in the evolution by gene duplication.

  text: 'Background: Carcinogenesis typically involves multiple somatic mutations
    in caretaker (DNA repair) and gatekeeper (tumor suppressors and oncogenes) genes.
    Analysis of mutation spectra of the tumor suppressor that is most commonly mutated
    in human cancers, p53, unexpectedly suggested that somatic evolution of the p53
    gene during tumorigenesis is dominated by positive selection for gain of function.
    This conclusion is supported by accumulating experimental evidence of evolution
    of new functions of p53 in tumors. These findings prompted a genome-wide analysis
    of possible positive selection during tumor evolution. Methods: A comprehensive
    analysis of probable somatic mutations in the sequences of Expressed Sequence
    Tags (ESTs) from malignant tumors and normal tissues was performed in order to
    access the prevalence of positive selection in cancer evolution. For each EST,
    the numbers of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions were calculated. In
    order to identify genes with a signature of positive selection in cancers, these
    numbers were compared to: i) expected numbers and ii) the numbers for the respective
    genes in the ESTs from normal tissues. Results: We identified 112 genes with a
    signature of positive selection in cancers, i.e., a significantly elevated ratio
    of non-synonymous to synonymous substitutions, in tumors as compared to 37 such
    genes in an approximately equal-sized EST collection from normal tissues. A substantial
    fraction of the tumor-specific positive-selection candidates have experimentally
    demonstrated or strongly predicted links to cancer. Conclusion: The results of
    EST analysis should be interpreted with extreme caution given the noise introduced
    by sequencing errors and undetected polymorphisms. Furthermore, an inherent limitation
    of EST analysis is that multiple mutations amenable to statistical analysis can
    be detected only in relatively highly expressed genes. Nevertheless, the present
    results suggest that positive selection might affect a substantial number of genes
    during tumorigenic somatic evolution.'

  text: 'Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes
    transcription, is found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and
    fungi. Here we have mapped DNA methylation in the entire Arabidopsis thaliana
    genome at high resolution. DNA methylation covers transposons and is present within
    a large fraction of A. thaliana genes. Methylation within genes is conspicuously
    biased away from gene ends, suggesting a dependence on RNA polymerase transit.
    Genic methylation is strongly influenced by transcription: moderately transcribed
    genes are most likely to be methylated, whereas genes at either extreme are least
    likely. In turn, transcription is influenced by methylation: short methylated
    genes are poorly expressed, and loss of methylation in the body of a gene leads
    to enhanced transcription. Our results indicate that genic transcription and DNA
    methylation are closely interwoven processes.'

  text: 'Often the properties of a single cell are considered as representative for
    a complete polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack or even a fuel cell system. In
    some cases this comes close, however, in many real cases differences on several
    scales become important. Cell interaction phenomena in fuel cell stacks that arise
    from inequalities between adjacent cells are investigated in detail experimentally.
    For that, a specialized 2-cell stack with advanced localized diagnostics was developed.
    The results show that inequalities propagate by electrical coupling, inhomogeneous
    cell polarization and inducing in-plane current in the common bipolar plate. The
    effects of the different loss-mechanisms are analyzed and quantified. '

  text: "Propagation of performance changes to adjacent cells in polymer electrolyte
    fuel cell stacks is studied by means of voltage monitoring and local current density
    measurements in peripheral cells of the stack. A technical fuel cell stack has
    been modified by implementing two independent reactant and coolant supplies in
    order to deliberately change the performance of one cell (anomalous cell) and
    study the coupling phenomena to adjacent cells (coupling cells), while keeping
    the working conditions of the later cell-group unaltered.\r\nTwo anomalies are
    studied: (i) air starvation and (ii) thermal anomaly, in a single anomalous cell
    in the stack and their coupling to adjacent cells. The results have shown that
    anomalies inducing considerable changes in the local current density of the anomalous
    cell (such as air starvation) propagate to adjacent cells affecting their performance.
    The propagation of local current density changes takes place via the common bipolar
    plate due to its finite thickness and in-plane conductivity. Consequently, anomalies
    which do not strongly influence the local current density distribution (such as
    a thermal anomaly under the studied working conditions) do not propagate to adjacent
    cells."

  text: An experimental technique for measuring the current density distribution with
    a resolution smaller than the channel/rib scale of the flow field in polymer electrolyte
    fuel cells (PEFCs) is presented. The electron conductors in a plane perpendicular
    to the channel direction are considered as two-dimensional resistors. Hence, the
    current density is obtained from the solution of Laplace's equation with the potentials
    at current collector and reaction layer as boundary conditions. Using ohmic drop
    for calculating the local current, detailed knowledge of all resistances involved
    is of prime importance. In particular, the contact resistance between the gas
    diffusion layer (GDL) and flow field rib, as well as GDL bulk conductivity, are
    strongly dependent on clamping pressure. They represent a substantial amount of
    the total ohmic drop and therefore require careful consideration. The detailed
    experimental setup as well as the concise procedure for quantitative data evaluation
    is described. Finally, the method is applied successfully to a cell operated on
    pure oxygen and air up to high current densities. The results show that electrical
    and ionic resistances seem to govern the current distribution at low current regimes,
    whereas mass transport limitations locally hamper the current production at high
    loads.

  text: A novel measurement principle for measuring the current distribution in polymer
    electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is introduced. It allows, in contrast to all other
    known techniques, for the first time for a resolution smaller than the channel/rib
    scale of the flow field in PEFCs. The current density is obtained by considering
    the electron conductors in the cell as a two-dimensional resistor with the voltage
    drop caused by the current. The method was applied to a cell operated on oxygen
    up to high current densities. The results show that the ohmic resistances govern
    the current distribution in the low current regime, whereas mass transport limitations
    hamper the current production under the land at high loads.

  text: Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PE fuel cells) working with air at low stoichiometries
    (<2.0) and standard electrochemical components show a high degree of inhomogeneity
    in the current density distribution over the active area. An inhomogeneous current
    density distribution leads to a non-uniform utilization of the active area, which
    could negatively affect the time of life of the cells. Furthermore, it is also
    believed to lower cell performance. In this work, the homogenization of the current
    density, realized by means of tailored cathodes with along-the-air-channel redistributed
    catalyst loadings, is investigated. The air stoichiometry range for which a homogenization
    of the current density is achieved depends upon the gradient with which the catalyst
    is redistributed along the air channel. A gentle increasing catalyst loading profile
    homogenizes the current density at relatively higher air stoichiometries, while
    a steeper profile is suited better for lower air stoichiometries. The results
    show that a homogenization of the current density by means of redistributed catalyst
    loading has negative effects on cell performance. Model calculations corroborate
    the experimental findings on homogenization of the current density and deliver
    an explanation for the decrease in cell performance.

  text: A previously developed mathematical model for water management and current
    density distribution in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFCs) is employed to
    investigate the effects of cooling strategies on cell performance. The model describes
    a two-dimensional slice through the cell along the channels and through the entire
    cell sandwich including the coolant channels and the bipolar plate. Arbitrary
    flow arrangements of fuel, oxidant, and coolant stream directions can be described.
    Due to the serious impact of temperature on all processes in the PEFC, both the
    relative direction of the coolant stream to the gas streams and its mass flow
    turns out to significantly affect the cell performance. Besides influencing the
    electrochemical reaction and all kinds of mass transfer temperature, variations
    predominantly alter the local membrane hydration distribution and subseqently
    its conductivity.

  text: A quasi-two-dimensional, along-the-channel mass and heat-transfer model for
    a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEFC) is described and validated against
    experimental current distribution data. The model is formulated in a dimensional
    manner, i.e., local transport phenomena are treated one-dimensional in through-plane
    direction and coupled in-plane by convective transport in the gas and coolant
    channels. Thus, a two-dimensional slice running through the repetitive unit of
    a cell from the anode channel via membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) and cathode
    channel to the coolant channel and from inlet to outlet is modeled. The aim of
    the work is to elucidate the influence of operating conditions such as feed gas
    humidities and stoichiometric ratios on the along-the-channel current density
    distribution and to identify the distinct underlying voltage loss mechanisms.
    Furthermore, a complicated technical flow field is modeled by a combination of
    co- and counterflow subdomains and compared with experimental current densities.

  text: The basic concepts of the molecular machinery that mediates cell migration
    have been gleaned from cell culture systems. However, the three-dimensional environment
    within an organism presents migrating cells with a much greater challenge. They
    must move between and among other cells while interpreting multiple attractive
    and repulsive cues to choose their proper path. They must coordinate their cell
    adhesion with their surroundings and know when to start and stop moving. New insights
    into the control of these remaining mysteries have emerged from genetic dissection
    and live imaging of germ cell migration in Drosophila, zebrafish, and mouse embryos.
    In this review, we first describe germ cell migration in cellular and mechanistic
    detail in these different model systems. We then compare these systems to highlight
    the emerging principles. Finally, we contrast the migration of germ cells with
    that of immune and cancer cells to outline the conserved and different mechanisms.

  text: 'One of the most exciting advances in early vision has been the development
    of efficient energy minimization algorithms. Many early vision tasks require labeling
    each pixel with some quantity such as depth or texture. While many such problems
    can be elegantly expressed in the language of Markov Random Fields (MRF''s), the
    resulting energy minimization problems were widely viewed as intractable. Recently,
    algorithms such as graph cuts and loopy belief propagation (LBP) have proven to
    be very powerful: for example, such methods form the basis for almost all the
    top-performing stereo methods. Unfortunately, most papers define their own energy
    function, which is minimized with a specific algorithm of their choice. As a result,
    the tradeoffs among different energy minimization algorithms are not well understood.
    In this paper we describe a set of energy minimization benchmarks, which we use
    to compare the solution quality and running time of several common energy minimization
    algorithms. We investigate three promising recent methods - graph cuts, LBP, and
    tree-reweighted message passing - as well as the well-known older iterated conditional
    modes (ICM) algorithm. Our benchmark problems are drawn from published energy
    functions used for stereo, image stitching and interactive segmentation. We also
    provide a general-purpose software interface that allows vision researchers to
    easily switch between optimization methods with minimal overhead. We expect that
    the availability of our benchmarks and interface will make it significantly easier
    for vision researchers to adopt the best method for their specific problems. Benchmarks,
    code, results and images are available at http://vision.middlebury.edu/MRF.'

  text: 'Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level
    vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently
    introduced tree-reweighted message passing (TRW). So far, the standard benchmark
    for their comparison has been a 4-connected grid-graph arising in pixel-labelling
    stereo. This minimization problem, however, has been largely solved: recent work
    shows that for many scenes TRW finds the global optimum. Furthermore, it is known
    that a 4-connecled grid-graph is a poor stereo model since it does not take occlusions
    into account. We propose the problem of stereo with occlusions as a new test bed
    for minimization algorithms. This is a more challenging graph since it has much
    larger connectivity, and it also serves as a better stereo model. An attractive
    feature of this problem is that increased connectivity does not result in increased
    complexity of message passing algorithms. Indeed, one contribution of this paper
    is to show that sophisticated implementations of BP and TRW have the same time
    and memory complexity as that of 4-connecled grid-graph stereo. The main conclusion
    of our experimental study is that for our problem graph cut outperforms both TRW
    and BP considerably. TRW achieves consistently a lower energy than BP. However,
    as connectivity increases the speed of convergence of TRW becomes slower. Unlike
    4-connected grids, the difference between the energy of the best optimization
    method and the lower bound of TRW appears significant. This shows the hardness
    of the problem and motivates future research.'

  text: This paper describes models and algorithms for the real-time segmentation
    of foreground from background layers in stereo video sequences. Automatic separation
    of layers from color/contrast or from stereo alone is known to be error-prone.
    Here, color, contrast, and stereo matching information are fused to infer layers
    accurately and efficiently. The first algorithm, Layered Dynamic Programming (LDP),
    solves stereo in an extended six-state space that represents both foreground/background
    layers and occluded regions. The stereo-match likelihood is then fused with a
    contrast-sensitive color model that is learned on-the-fly and stereo disparities
    are obtained by dynamic programming. The second algorithm, Layered Graph Cut (LGC),
    does not directly solve stereo. Instead, the stereo match likelihood is marginalized
    over disparities to evaluate foreground and background hypotheses and then fused
    with a contrast-sensitive color model like the one used in LDP. Segmentation is
    solved efficiently by ternary graph cut. Both algorithms are evaluated with respect
    to ground truth data and found to have similar performance, substantially better
    than either stereo or color/contrast alone. However, their characteristics with
    respect to computational efficiency are rather different. The algorithms are demonstrated
    in the application of background substitution and shown to give good quality composite
    video output.

  text: We introduce a new approach to modelling gradient flows of contours and surfaces.
    While standard variational methods (e.g. level sets) compute local interface motion
    in a differential fashion by estimating local contour velocity via energy derivatives,
    we propose to solve surface evolution PDEs by explicitly estimating integral motion
    of the whole surface. We formulate an optimization problem directly based on an
    integral characterization of gradient flow as an infinitesimal move of the (whole)
    surface giving the largest energy decrease among all moves of equal size. We show
    that this problem can be efficiently solved using recent advances in algorithms
    for global hypersurface optimization [4, 2, 11]. In particular, we employ the
    geo-cuts method [4] that uses ideas from integral geometry to represent continuous
    surfaces as cuts on discrete graphs. The resulting interface evolution algorithm
    is validated on some 2D and 3D examples similar to typical demonstrations of level-set
    methods. Our method can compute gradient flows of hypersurfaces with respect to
    a fairly general class of continuous functional and it is flexible with respect
    to distance metrics on the space of contours/surfaces. Preliminary tests for standard
    L2 distance metric demonstrate numerical stability, topological changes and an
    absence of any oscillatory motion.

  text: 'We introduce the term cosegmentation which denotes the task of segmenting
    simultaneously the common parts of an image pair. A generative model for cosegmentation
    is presented. Inference in the model leads to minimizing an energy with an MRF
    term encoding spatial coherency and a global constraint which attempts to match
    the appearance histograms of the common parts. This energy has not been proposed
    previously and its optimization is challenging and NP-hard. For this problem a
    novel optimization scheme which we call trust region graph cuts is presented.
    We demonstrate that this framework has the potential to improve a wide range of
    research: Object driven image retrieval, video tracking and segmentation, and
    interactive image editing. The power of the framework lies in its generality,
    the common part can be a rigid/non-rigid object (or scene), observed from different
    viewpoints or even similar objects of the same class.'

  text: This paper presents an algorithm capable of real-time separation of foreground
    from background in monocular video sequences. Automatic segmentation of layers
    from colour/contrast or from motion alone is known to be error-prone. Here motion,
    colour and contrast cues are probabilistically fused together with spatial and
    temporal priors to infer layers accurately and efficiently. Central to our algorithm
    is the fact that pixel velocities are not needed, thus removing the need for optical
    flow estimation, with its tendency to error and computational expense. Instead,
    an efficient motion vs non-motion classifier is trained to operate directly and
    jointly on intensity-change and contrast. Its output is then fused with colour
    information. The prior on segmentation is represented by a second order, temporal,
    Hidden Markov Model, together with a spatial MRF favouring coherence except where
    contrast is high. Finally, accurate layer segmentation and explicit occlusion
    detection are efficiently achieved by binary graph cut. The segmentation accuracy
    of the proposed algorithm is quantitatively evaluated with respect to existing
    ground-truth data and found to be comparable to the accuracy of a state of the
    art stereo segmentation algorithm. Fore-ground/background segmentation is demonstrated
    in the application of live background substitution and shown to generate convincingly
    good quality composite video.

  text: Algorithms for discrete energy minimization are of fundamental importance
    in computer vision. In this paper, we focus on the recent technique proposed by
    Wainwright et al. (Nov. 2005)- tree-reweighted max-product message passing (TRW).
    It was inspired by the problem of maximizing a lower bound on the energy. However,
    the algorithm is not guaranteed to increase this bound - it may actually go down.
    In addition, TRW does not always converge. We develop a modification of this algorithm
    which we call sequential tree-reweighted message passing. Its main property is
    that the bound is guaranteed not to decrease. We also give a weak tree agreement
    condition which characterizes local maxima of the bound with respect to TRW algorithms.
    We prove that our algorithm has a limit point that achieves weak tree agreement.
    Finally, we show that, our algorithm requires half as much memory as traditional
    message passing approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that on certain synthetic
    and real problems, our algorithm outperforms both the ordinary belief propagation
    and tree-reweighted algorithm in (M. J. Wainwright, et al., Nov. 2005). In addition,
    on stereo problems with Potts interactions, we obtain a lower energy than graph
    cuts.

    The Feistel-network is a popular structure underlying many block-ciphers where the cipher is constructed from many simpler rounds, each defined by some function which is derived from the secret key.
    Luby and Rackoff showed that the three-round Feistel-network – each round instantiated with a pseudorandom function secure against adaptive chosen plaintext attacks (CPA) – is a CPA secure pseudorandom permutation, thus giving some confidence in the soundness of using a Feistel-network to design block-ciphers.
    But the round functions used in actual block-ciphers are – for efficiency reasons – far from being pseudorandom. We investigate the security of the Feistel-network against CPA distinguishers when the only security guarantee we have for the round functions is that they are secure against non-adaptive chosen plaintext attacks (nCPA). We show that in the information-theoretic setting, four rounds with nCPA secure round functions are sufficient (and necessary) to get a CPA secure permutation. Unfortunately, this result does not translate into the more interesting pseudorandom setting. In fact, under the so-called Inverse Decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption the Feistel-network with four rounds, each instantiated with a nCPA secure pseudorandom function, is in general not a CPA secure pseudorandom permutation.

  text: 'Most cryptographic primitives such as encryption, authentication or secret
    sharing require randomness. Usually one assumes that perfect randomness is available,
    but those primitives might also be realized under weaker assumptions. In this
    work we continue the study of building secure cryptographic primitives from imperfect
    random sources initiated by Dodis and Spencer (FOCS’02). Their main result shows
    that there exists a (high-entropy) source of randomness allowing for perfect encryption
    of a bit, and yet from which one cannot extract even a single weakly random bit,
    separating encryption from extraction. Our main result separates encryption from
    2-out-2 secret sharing (both in the information-theoretic and in the computational
    settings): any source which can be used to achieve one-bit encryption also can
    be used for 2-out-2 secret sharing of one bit, but the converse is false, even
    for high-entropy sources. Therefore, possibility of extraction strictly implies
    encryption, which in turn strictly implies 2-out-2 secret sharing.'
