--- _id: '1225' abstract: - lang: eng text: At Crypto 2015 Fuchsbauer, Hanser and Slamanig (FHS) presented the first standard-model construction of efficient roundoptimal blind signatures that does not require complexity leveraging. It is conceptually simple and builds on the primitive of structure-preserving signatures on equivalence classes (SPS-EQ). FHS prove the unforgeability of their scheme assuming EUF-CMA security of the SPS-EQ scheme and hardness of a version of the DH inversion problem. Blindness under adversarially chosen keys is proven under an interactive variant of the DDH assumption. We propose a variant of their scheme whose blindness can be proven under a non-interactive assumption, namely a variant of the bilinear DDH assumption. We moreover prove its unforgeability assuming only unforgeability of the underlying SPS-EQ but no additional assumptions as needed for the FHS scheme. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Georg full_name: Fuchsbauer, Georg id: 46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fuchsbauer - first_name: Christian full_name: Hanser, Christian last_name: Hanser - first_name: Chethan full_name: Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan id: 4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kamath Hosdurg - first_name: Daniel full_name: Slamanig, Daniel last_name: Slamanig citation: ama: 'Fuchsbauer G, Hanser C, Kamath Hosdurg C, Slamanig D.

Furthermore, there is a way to set up the hash key hk to make it statistically binding on some arbitrary hidden position i, meaning that: (1) the digest y completely determines the i’th bit (or symbol) of x so that all pre-images of y have the same value in the i’th position, (2) it is computationally infeasible to distinguish the position i on which hk is statistically binding from any other position i’. Lastly, the hash should have a local opening property analogous to Merkle-Tree hashing, meaning that given x and y = H hk (x) it should be possible to create a short proof π that certifies the value of the i’th bit (or symbol) of x without having to provide the entire input x. A similar primitive called a positional accumulator, introduced by Koppula, Lewko and Waters (STOC ’15) further supports dynamic updates of the hashed value. These tools, which are interesting in their own right, also serve as one of the main technical components in several recent works building advanced applications from indistinguishability obfuscation (iO).\r\n\r\nThe prior constructions of SSB hashing and positional accumulators required fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and iO respectively. In this work, we give new constructions of these tools based on well studied number-theoretic assumptions such as DDH, Phi-Hiding and DCR, as well as a general construction from lossy/injective functions." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Tatsuaki full_name: Okamoto, Tatsuaki last_name: Okamoto - first_name: Krzysztof Z full_name: Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z id: 3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pietrzak orcid: 0000-0002-9139-1654 - first_name: Brent full_name: Waters, Brent last_name: Waters - first_name: Daniel full_name: Wichs, Daniel last_name: Wichs citation: ama: 'Okamoto T, Pietrzak KZ, Waters B, Wichs D.

When such models are employed to answer questions in applications, in order to ensure that the model provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the real system, it is of vital importance that the model parameters are inferred from real measured data. This, however, is often a formidable task and all of the existing methods fail in one case or the other, usually because the underlying CTMC model is high-dimensional and computationally difficult to analyze. The parameter inference methods that tend to scale best in the dimension of the CTMC are based on so-called moment closure approximations. However, there exists a large number of different moment closure approximations and it is typically hard to say a priori which of the approximations is the most suitable for the inference procedure. Here, we propose a moment-based parameter inference method that automatically chooses the most appropriate moment closure method. Accordingly, contrary to existing methods, the user is not required to be experienced in moment closure techniques. In addition to that, our method adaptively changes the approximation during the parameter inference to ensure that always the best approximation is used, even in cases where different approximations are best in different regions of the parameter space. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd acknowledgement: This work is based on the CMSB 2015 paper “Adaptive moment closure for parameter inference of biochemical reaction networks” (Bogomolov et al., 2015).

A verification tool like SpaceEx is based on the exploration of a symbolic search space (the region space). As a verification tool, it is typically optimized towards proving the absence of errors. In some settings, e.g., when the verification tool is employed in a feedback-directed design cycle, one would like to have the option to call a version that is optimized towards finding an error trajectory in the region space. A recent approach in this direction is based on guided search. Guided search relies on a cost function that indicates which states are promising to be explored, and preferably explores more promising states first. In this paper, we propose an abstraction-based cost function based on coarse-grained space abstractions for guiding the reachability analysis. For this purpose, a suitable abstraction technique that exploits the flexible granularity of modern reachability analysis algorithms is introduced. The new cost function is an effective extension of pattern database approaches that have been successfully applied in other areas. The approach has been implemented in the SpaceEx model checker. The evaluation shows its practical potential. article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Donzé, Alexandre last_name: Donzé - first_name: Goran full_name: Frehse, Goran last_name: Frehse - first_name: Radu full_name: Grosu, Radu last_name: Grosu - first_name: Taylor full_name: Johnson, Taylor last_name: Johnson - first_name: Hamed full_name: Ladan, Hamed last_name: Ladan - first_name: Andreas full_name: Podelski, Andreas last_name: Podelski - first_name: Martin full_name: Wehrle, Martin last_name: Wehrle citation: ama: Bogomolov S, Donzé A, Frehse G, et al.

In particular, the volunteer efforts must be well coordinated, or otherwise situations might emerge in which too many idle volunteers at one location become more of a burden than a relief to the professionals.\r\nIn this work, we study the task of optimally assigning volunteers to selected locations, e.g. in order to perform regular measurements, to report on damage, or to distribute information or resources to the population in a crisis situation. We formulate the assignment tasks as an optimization problem and propose an effective and efficient solution procedure.

Similarly to log-linear models, relational models can be extended to non-negative distributions, but the extension requires more complex methods. An extended relational model is defined as an algebraic variety, and it turns out to be the closure of the original model with respect to the Bregman divergence. In the extended relational model, the MLE of the cell parameters always exists and is unique, but some of its properties may be different from those of the MLE under log-linear models. The MLE can be computed using a generalized iterative scaling procedure based on Bregman projections.

We assume subexponential decay for the matrix entries of W and we choose λ∼1, so that the eigenvalues of W and λV are typically of the same order. Further, we assume that the density of the entries of V is supported on a single interval and is convex near the edges of its support. In this paper we prove that there is λ+∈ℝ+ such that the largest eigenvalues of H are in the limit of large N determined by the order statistics of V for λ>λ+. In particular, the largest eigenvalue of H has a Weibull distribution in the limit N→∞ if λ>λ+. Moreover, for N sufficiently large, we show that the eigenvectors associated to the largest eigenvalues are partially localized for λ>λ+, while they are completely delocalized for λ<λ+.

Each αi and each βj is either an arc meeting the boundary of M at its two endpoints, or a closed curve. The αi are pairwise disjoint except for possibly sharing endpoints, and similarly for the βj. We want to “untangle” the βj from the ai by a self-homeomorphism of M; more precisely, we seek a homeomorphism φ:M→M fixing the boundary of M pointwise such that the total number of crossings of the ai with the φ(βj) is as small as possible. This problem is motivated by an application in the algorithmic theory of embeddings and 3-manifolds. We prove that if M is planar, i.e., a sphere with h ≥ 0 boundary components (“holes”), then O(mn) crossings can be achieved (independently of h), which is asymptotically tight, as an easy lower bound shows. In general, for an arbitrary (orientable or nonorientable) surface M with h holes and of (orientable or nonorientable) genus g ≥ 0, we obtain an O((m + n)4) upper bound, again independent of h and g. The proofs rely, among other things, on a result concerning simultaneous planar drawings of graphs by Erten and Kobourov. acknowledgement: 'Supported by the ERC Adv anced Grant No. 267165.

That is, by conditioning on A the entropy of X can decrease by at most the bitlength |A| of A. Such chain rules are known to hold for some computational entropy notions like Yao’s and unpredictability-entropy. For HILL entropy, the computational analogue of min-entropy, the chain rule is of special interest and has found many applications, including leakage-resilient cryptography, deterministic encryption, and memory delegation. These applications rely on restricted special cases of the chain rule. Whether the chain rule for conditional HILL entropy holds in general was an open problem for which we give a strong negative answer: we construct joint distributions (X,Z,A), where A is a distribution over a single bit, such that the HILL entropy H HILL (X|Z) is large but H HILL (X|Z,A) is basically zero.\r\n\r\nOur counterexample just makes the minimal assumption that NP⊈P/poly.

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.

Many text-based guidelines have been encoded for work-flow simulation of DSS to automate health care. During the collaboration with Carle hospital to develop a DSS, we identify that, for some complex and life-critical diseases, it is highly desirable to automatically rigorously verify some complex temporal properties in guidelines, which brings new challenges to current simulation based DSS with limited support of automatical formal verification and real-time data analysis. In this paper, we conduct the first study on applying runtime verification to cooperate with current DSS based on real-time data. Within the proposed technique, a user-friendly domain specific language, named DRTV, is designed to specify vital real-time data sampled by medical devices and temporal properties originated from clinical guidelines. Some interfaces are developed for data acquisition and communication. Then, for medical practice scenarios described in DRTV model, we will automatically generate event sequences and runtime property verifier automata. If a temporal property violates, real-time warnings will be produced by the formal verifier and passed to medical DSS.

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. alternative_title: - Proceedings Symposium on Logic in Computer Science author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Laurent full_name: Doyen, Laurent last_name: Doyen citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Doyen L.

The class of ω-regular languages provides a robust specification language to express properties in verification, and parity objectives are canonical forms to express them. The qualitative analysis problem given a POMDP and a parity objective asks whether there is a strategy to ensure that the objective is satisfied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability). While the qualitative analysis problems are undecidable even for special cases of parity objectives, we establish decidability (with optimal complexity) for POMDPs with all parity objectives under finite-memory strategies. We establish optimal (exponential) memory bounds and EXPTIME-completeness of the qualitative analysis problems under finite-memory strategies for POMDPs with parity objectives. We also present a practical approach, where we design heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have applied our implementation on a number of POMDP examples. author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik - first_name: Mathieu full_name: Tracol, Mathieu id: 3F54FA38-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tracol citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Chmelik M, Tracol M.

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.

We study the problem of almost-sure reachability, where given a set of target states, the question is to decide whether there is a policy to ensure that the target set is reached with probability 1 (almost-surely). While in general the problem is EXPTIMEcomplete, in many practical cases policies with a small amount of memory suffice. Moreover, the existing solution to the problem is explicit, which first requires to construct explicitly an exponential reduction to a belief-support MDP. In this work, we first study the existence of observation-stationary strategies, which is NP-complete, and then small-memory strategies. We present a symbolic algorithm by an efficient encoding to SAT and using a SAT solver for the problem. We report experimental results demonstrating the scalability of our symbolic (SAT-based) approach. © 2016, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org).

This article exposes the first study in this line, opening up further prospects of analyzing the topological properties of sphere in the discrete space. We show that each quadraginta octant Q of a naive sphere forms a bijection with its projected pixel set on a unique coordinate plane, which thereby serves as the functional plane of Q, and hence gives rise to merely mono-jumps during back projection. The other two coordinate planes serve as para-functional and dia-functional planes for Q, as the former is ‘mono-jumping’ but not bijective, whereas the latter holds neither of the two. Owing to this, the quadraginta octants form symmetry groups and subgroups with equivalent jump conditions. We also show a potential application in generating a special class of discrete 3D circles based on back projection and jump bridging by Steiner voxels. A circle in this class possesses 4-symmetry, uniqueness, and bounded distance from the underlying real sphere and real plane. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Ranita full_name: Biswas, Ranita id: 3C2B033E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Biswas orcid: 0000-0002-5372-7890 - first_name: Partha full_name: Bhowmick, Partha last_name: Bhowmick citation: ama: 'Biswas R, Bhowmick P.

This eventually gives rise to interesting topological properties of a discrete spherical surface, which need to be investigated for its analytical characterization. This paper presents some novel results on the local topological properties of the naive model of discrete sphere. They follow from the bijection of each quadraginta octant of naive sphere with its projection map called f -map on the corresponding functional plane and from the characterization of certain jumps in the f-map.

It is one of the most important 3D geometric primitives, but has not possibly yet been studied up to its merit. This paper is a maiden exposition of some of its elementary properties, which indicates a sense of its profound theoretical prospects in the framework of digital geometry. We have shown how different types of discretization can lead to forbidden and admissible classes, when one attempts to define the discretization of a spherical circle in terms of intersection between a discrete sphere and a discrete plane. Several fundamental theoretical results have been presented, the algorithm for construction of discrete spherical circles has been discussed, and some test results have been furnished to demonstrate its practicality and usefulness. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Ranita full_name: Biswas, Ranita id: 3C2B033E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Biswas orcid: 0000-0002-5372-7890 - first_name: Partha full_name: Bhowmick, Partha last_name: Bhowmick - first_name: Valentin E. full_name: Brimkov, Valentin E. last_name: Brimkov citation: ama: 'Biswas R, Bhowmick P, Brimkov VE.

In traditional approaches, the controller, by its internal functionality, finds appropriate actions on the basis of the history of sensor values, guided by the goals, intentions, objectives, learning schemes, and so forth. The idea is that the controller controls the world---the body plus its environment---as reliably as possible. This paper focuses on new lines of self-organization for developmental robotics. We apply the recently developed differential extrinsic synaptic plasticity to a muscle-tendon driven arm-shoulder system from the Myorobotics toolkit. In the experiments, we observe a vast variety of self-organized behavior patterns: when left alone, the arm realizes pseudo-random sequences of different poses. By applying physical forces, the system can be entrained into definite motion patterns like wiping a table. Most interestingly, after attaching an object, the controller gets in a functional resonance with the object''s internal dynamics, starting to shake spontaneously bottles half-filled with water or sensitively driving an attached pendulum into a circular mode. When attached to the crank of a wheel the neural system independently discovers how to rotate it. In this way, the robot discovers affordances of objects its body is interacting with.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Georg S full_name: Martius, Georg S id: 3A276B68-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Martius - first_name: Rafael full_name: Hostettler, Rafael last_name: Hostettler - first_name: Alois full_name: Knoll, Alois last_name: Knoll - first_name: Ralf full_name: Der, Ralf last_name: Der citation: ama: 'Martius GS, Hostettler R, Knoll A, Der R.

A hypothesis about this structure is that these collective activity patterns function as population codewords–collective modes–carrying information distinct from that of any single cell. We investigate this phenomenon in recordings of ∼150 retinal ganglion cells, the retina’s output. We develop a novel statistical model that decomposes the population response into modes; it predicts the distribution of spiking activity in the ganglion cell population with high accuracy. We found that the modes represent localized features of the visual stimulus that are distinct from the features represented by single neurons. Modes form clusters of activity states that are readily discriminated from one another. When we repeated the same visual stimulus, we found that the same mode was robustly elicited. These results suggest that retinal ganglion cells’ collective signaling is endowed with a form of error-correcting code–a principle that may hold in brain areas beyond retina. acknowledgement: JSP was supported by a C.V.

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.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dino full_name: Mcmahon, Dino last_name: Mcmahon - first_name: Matthias full_name: Fürst, Matthias id: 393B1196-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fürst orcid: 0000-0002-3712-925X - first_name: Jesicca full_name: Caspar, Jesicca last_name: Caspar - first_name: Panagiotis full_name: Theodorou, Panagiotis last_name: Theodorou - first_name: Mark full_name: Brown, Mark last_name: Brown - first_name: Robert full_name: Paxton, Robert last_name: Paxton citation: ama: 'Mcmahon D, Fürst M, Caspar J, Theodorou P, Brown M, Paxton R.

The speciation genomic literature, however, is mainly a collection of case studies, each with its own approach and specificities, such that a global view of the gradual process of evolution from one to two species is currently lacking. Of primary importance is the prevalence of gene flow between diverging entities, which is central in most species concepts and has been widely discussed in recent years. Here, we explore the continuum of speciation thanks to a comparative analysis of genomic data from 61 pairs of populations/species of animals with variable levels of divergence. Gene flow between diverging gene pools is assessed under an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework. We show that the intermediate "grey zone" of speciation, in which taxonomy is often controversial, spans from 0.5% to 2% of net synonymous divergence, irrespective of species life history traits or ecology. Thanks to appropriate modeling of among-locus variation in genetic drift and introgression rate, we clarify the status of the majority of ambiguous cases and uncover a number of cryptic species. Our analysis also reveals the high incidence in animals of semi-isolated species (when some but not all loci are affected by barriers to gene flow) and highlights the intrinsic difficulty, both statistical and conceptual, of delineating species in the grey zone of speciation. acknowledgement: "European Research Council (ERC) https://erc.europa.eu/ (grant number ERC grant 232971).

The probability of existence and the number of evolutionary pathways that lead from a given genotype to a better-adapted genotype are important measures of accessibility of local fitness optima and the reproducibility of evolution. Both quantities have been studied in simple mathematical models where genotypes are represented as binary sequences of two types of basic units, and the network of permitted mutations between the genotypes is a hypercube graph. However, it is unclear how these results translate to the biologically relevant case in which genotypes are represented by sequences of more than two units, for example four nucleotides (DNA) or 20 amino acids (proteins), and the mutational graph is not the hypercube. Here we investigate accessibility of the best-adapted genotype in the general case of K > 2 units. Using computer generated and experimental fitness landscapes we show that accessibility of the global fitness maximum increases with K and can be much higher than for binary sequences. The increase in accessibility comes from the increase in the number of indirect trajectories exploited by evolution for higher K. As one of the consequences, the fraction of genotypes that are accessible increases by three orders of magnitude when the number of units K increases from 2 to 16 for landscapes of size N ∼ 106genotypes. This suggests that evolution can follow many different trajectories on such landscapes and the reconstruction of evolutionary pathways from experimental data might be an extremely difficult task. acknowledgement: MZ acknowledges the Polish National Science Centre grant no.

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. article_processing_charge: No article_type: letter_note author: - first_name: Jason T. full_name: Huff, Jason T. last_name: Huff - first_name: Daniel full_name: Zilberman, Daniel id: 6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 last_name: Zilberman orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 - first_name: Scott W. full_name: Roy, Scott W. last_name: Roy citation: ama: Huff JT, Zilberman D, Roy SW.

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. acknowledgement: DFG Cluster of Excellence EXC 1077/1 (Hearing4all) and LU 1196/5-1 (JL and TM), People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) FP7/2007-2013 grant agreement no. 291734 (CS) alternative_title: - Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems author: - first_name: Travis full_name: Monk, Travis last_name: Monk - first_name: Cristina full_name: Savin, Cristina id: 3933349E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Savin - first_name: Jörg full_name: Lücke, Jörg last_name: Lücke citation: ama: 'Monk T, Savin C, Lücke J.

Owing to genetic variation in pathogen virulence, a complete understanding of species decline requires the accurate identification and characterization of EIDs.

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. acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (Germany): Fit Bee project (grant 511-06.01-28-1-71.007-10), the EU: BeeDoc (grant 244956), iDiv (2013 NGS-Fast Track grant W47004118) and the Insect Pollinators Initiative (IPI grant BB/I000100/1 and BB/I000151/1).

Several classical studies have suggested that humans should quickly learn to adopt reciprocal strategies to establish mutual cooperation in repeated interactions. On the other hand, the recently discovered theory of ZD strategies has found that subjects who use extortionate strategies are able to exploit and subdue cooperators. Although such extortioners have been predicted to succeed in any population of adaptive opponents, theoretical follow-up studies questioned whether extortion can evolve in reality. However, most of these studies presumed that individuals have similar strategic possibilities and comparable outside options, whereas asymmetries are ubiquitous in real world applications. Here we show with a model and an economic experiment that extortionate strategies readily emerge once subjects differ in their strategic power. Our experiment combines a repeated social dilemma with asymmetric partner choice. In our main treatment there is one randomly chosen group member who is unilaterally allowed to exchange one of the other group members after every ten rounds of the social dilemma. We find that this asymmetric replacement opportunity generally promotes cooperation, but often the resulting payoff distribution reflects the underlying power structure. Almost half of the subjects in a better strategic position turn into extortioners, who quickly proceed to exploit their peers. By adapting their cooperation probabilities consistent with ZD theory, extortioners force their co-players to cooperate without being similarly cooperative themselves. Comparison to non-extortionate players under the same conditions indicates a substantial net gain to extortion. Our results thus highlight how power asymmetries can endanger mutually beneficial interactions, and transform them into exploitative relationships. In particular, our results indicate that the extortionate strategies predicted from ZD theory could play a more prominent role in our daily interactions than previously thought. acknowledgement: 'CH was funded by the Schrödinger program of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) J3475.

These patterns enable the cells to infer their global position within a tissue or an organism by reading out local gene expression levels. The patterning system is thus said to encode positional information, a concept that was formalized recently in the framework of information theory. Here we introduce a toy model of patterning in one spatial dimension, which can be seen as an extension of Wolpert's paradigmatic "French Flag" model, to patterning by several interacting, spatially coupled genes subject to intrinsic and extrinsic noise. Our model, a variant of an Ising spin system, allows us to systematically explore expression patterns that optimally encode positional information. We find that optimal patterning systems use positional cues, as in the French Flag model, together with gene-gene interactions to generate combinatorial codes for position which we call "Counter" patterns. Counter patterns can also be stabilized against noise and variations in system size or morphogen dosage by longer-range spatial interactions of the type invoked in the Turing model. The simple setup proposed here qualitatively captures many of the experimentally observed properties of biological patterning systems and allows them to be studied in a single, theoretically consistent framework. acknowledgement: The authors would like to thank Thomas Sokolowski and Filipe Tostevin for helpful discussions.

One cell can be regarded as an aging mother with a decreased potential for future survival and division, the other as a rejuvenated daughter. Here, we aimed at investigating some of the processes involved in aging in the bacterium Escherichia coli, where the two types of cells can be distinguished by the age of their cell poles. We found that certain changes in the regulation of the carbohydrate metabolism can affect aging. A mutation in the carbon storage regulator gene, csrA, leads to a dramatically shorter replicative lifespan; csrA mutants stop dividing once their pole exceeds an age of about five divisions. These old-pole cells accumulate glycogen at their old cell poles; after their last division, they do not contain a chromosome, presumably because of spatial exclusion by the glycogen aggregates. The new-pole daughters produced by these aging mothers are born young; they only express the deleterious phenotype once their pole is old. These results demonstrate how manipulations of nutrient allocation can lead to the exclusion of the chromosome and limit replicative lifespan in E. coli, and illustrate how mutations can have phenotypic effects that are specific for cells with old poles. This raises the question how bacteria can avoid the accumulation of such mutations in their genomes over evolutionary times, and how they can achieve the long replicative lifespans that have recently been reported. acknowledgement: This manuscript is dedicated to the memory of Alex Böhm, who was a great friend and a passionate biologist.

However, sensor construction is not trivial and often requires multiple rounds of engineering or an ability to screen large numbers of variants. A method that would allow the accurate rational design of FRET sensors would expedite the production of biologically useful sensors. Here, we present Rangefinder, a computational algorithm that allows rapid in silico screening of dye attachment sites in a ligand-binding protein for the conjugation of a dye molecule to act as a Förster acceptor for a fused fluorescent protein. We present three ratiometric fluorescent sensors designed with Rangefinder, including a maltose sensor with a dynamic range of >300% and the first sensors for the most abundant sialic acid in human cells, N-acetylneuraminic acid. Provided a ligand-binding protein exists, it is our expectation that this model will facilitate the design of an optical sensor for any small molecule of interest. acknowledgement: "J.A.M., J.H.W., and W.H.Z. were supported by Australian\r\nPostgraduate Awards (APA), AS Sargeson Supplementary\r\nscholarships, and RSC supplementary scholarships.

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. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Kyunghyuk full_name: Park, Kyunghyuk last_name: Park - first_name: M.

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. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Ping-Hung full_name: Hsieh, Ping-Hung last_name: Hsieh - first_name: Shengbo full_name: He, Shengbo last_name: He - first_name: Toby full_name: Buttress, Toby last_name: Buttress - first_name: Hongbo full_name: Gao, Hongbo last_name: Gao - first_name: Matthew full_name: Couchman, Matthew last_name: Couchman - first_name: Robert L. full_name: Fischer, Robert L. last_name: Fischer - first_name: Daniel full_name: Zilberman, Daniel id: 6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 last_name: Zilberman orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 - first_name: Xiaoqi full_name: Feng, Xiaoqi id: e0164712-22ee-11ed-b12a-d80fcdf35958 last_name: Feng orcid: 0000-0002-4008-1234 citation: ama: Hsieh P-H, He S, Buttress T, et al.

The cost of using a resource depends on the load on it. In the traditional setting, the players make their choices concurrently and in one-shot. That is, a strategy for a player is a subset of the resources. We introduce and study dynamic resource allocation games. In this setting, the game proceeds in phases. In each phase each player chooses one resource. A scheduler dictates the order in which the players proceed in a phase, possibly scheduling several players to proceed concurrently. The game ends when each player has collected a set of resources that fulfills his objective. The cost for each player then depends on this set as well as on the load on the resources in it – we consider both congestion and cost-sharing games. We argue that the dynamic setting is the suitable setting for many applications in practice. We study the stability of dynamic resource allocation games, where the appropriate notion of stability is that of subgame perfect equilibrium, study the inefficiency incurred due to selfish behavior, and also study problems that are particular to the dynamic setting, like constraints on the order in which resources can be chosen or the problem of finding a scheduler that achieves stability. acknowledgement: This research was supported in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grants 267989 (QUAREM) and 278410 (QUALITY), and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Orna full_name: Kupferman, Orna last_name: Kupferman citation: ama: 'Avni G, Henzinger TA, Kupferman O.

However, the influence of these traits on host evolution when parasites are no longer present is unclear. We used experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli to determine the effects of past and present exposure to parasitic viruses (phages) on the spread of mutator alleles, resistance, and bacterial competitive fitness. We found that mutator alleles spread rapidly during adaptation to any of four different phage species, and this pattern was even more pronounced with multiple phages present simultaneously. However, hypermutability did not detectably accelerate adaptation in the absence of phages and recovery of fitness costs associated with resistance. Several lineages evolved phage resistance through elevated mucoidy, and during subsequent evolution in phage-free conditions they rapidly reverted to nonmucoid, phage-susceptible phenotypes. Genome sequencing revealed that this phenotypic reversion was achieved by additional genetic changes rather than by genotypic reversion of the initial resistance mutations. Insertion sequence (IS) elements played a key role in both the acquisition of resistance and adaptation in the absence of parasites; unlike single nucleotide polymorphisms, IS insertions were not more frequent in mutator lineages. Our results provide a genetic explanation for rapid reversion of mucoidy, a phenotype observed in other bacterial species including human pathogens. Moreover, this demonstrates that the types of genetic change underlying adaptation to fitness costs, and consequently the impact of evolvability mechanisms such as increased point-mutation rates, depend critically on the mechanism of resistance. acknowledgement: The authors thank three anonymous reviewers and the editor for helpful comments on the manuscript, as well as Dominique Schneider for feedback on an earlier draft, Jenna Gallie for lytic λ and Julien Capelle for T5 and T6.

This method has higher labeling efficiency than conventional immunogold methods for membrane molecules allowing precise quantitative measurements. However, one of the limitations of freeze-fracture replica immunolabeling is difficulty in keeping structural orientation and identifying labeled profiles in complex tissues like brain. The difficulty is partly due to fragmentation of freeze-fracture replica preparations during labeling procedures and limited morphological clues on the replica surface. To overcome these issues, we introduce here a grid-glued replica method combined with SEM observation. This method allows histological staining before dissolving the tissue and easy handling of replicas during immunogold labeling, and keeps the whole replica surface intact without fragmentation. The procedure described here is also useful for matched double-replica analysis allowing further identification of labeled profiles in corresponding P-face and E-face. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac acknowledgement: 'We thank Prof. Elek Molnár for providing us a pan-AMPAR anti-body used in Fig.2 and Dr. Ludek Lovicar for technical assistance in scanning electron microscope imaging.

As such,\r\nunderstanding the mechanisms and constraints that determine the outcomes of HGT\r\nevents is crucial to understand the dynamics of HGT and to design better strategies to\r\novercome the challenges that originate from it.\r\nFollowing the insertion and expression of a newly transferred gene, the success of an\r\nHGT event will depend on the fitness effect it has on the recipient (host) cell. Therefore,\r\npredicting the impact of HGT on the genetic composition of a population critically\r\ndepends on the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of horizontally transferred genes.\r\nHowever, to date, we have little knowledge of the DFE of newly transferred genes, and\r\nhence little is known about the shape and scale of this distribution.\r\nIt is particularly important to better understand the selective barriers that determine\r\nthe fitness effects of newly transferred genes. In spite of substantial bioinformatics\r\nefforts to identify horizontally transferred genes and selective barriers, a systematic\r\nexperimental approach to elucidate the roles of different selective barriers in defining\r\nthe fate of a transfer event has largely been absent. Similarly, although the fact that\r\nenvironment might alter the fitness effect of a horizontally transferred gene may seem\r\nobvious, little attention has been given to it in a systematic experimental manner.\r\nIn this study, we developed a systematic experimental approach that consists of\r\ntransferring 44 arbitrarily selected Salmonella typhimurium orthologous genes into an\r\nEscherichia coli host, and estimating the fitness effects of these transferred genes at a\r\nconstant expression level by performing competition assays against the wild type.\r\nIn chapter 2, we performed one-to-one competition assays between a mutant strain\r\ncarrying a transferred gene and the wild type strain. By using flow cytometry we\r\nestimated selection coefficients for the transferred genes with a precision level of 10-3,and obtained the DFE of horizontally transferred genes. We then investigated if these\r\nfitness effects could be predicted by any of the intrinsic properties of the genes, namely,\r\nfunctional category, degree of complexity (protein-protein interactions), GC content,\r\ncodon usage and length. Our analyses revealed that the functional category and length\r\nof the genes act as potential selective barriers. Finally, using the same procedure with\r\nthe endogenous E. coli orthologs of these 44 genes, we demonstrated that gene dosage is\r\nthe most prominent selective barrier to HGT.\r\nIn chapter 3, using the same set of genes we investigated the role of environment on the\r\nsuccess of HGT events. Under six different environments with different levels of stress\r\nwe performed more complex competition assays, where we mixed all 44 mutant strains\r\ncarrying transferred genes with the wild type strain. To estimate the fitness effects of\r\ngenes relative to wild type we used next generation sequencing. We found that the DFEs\r\nof horizontally transferred genes are highly dependent on the environment, with\r\nabundant gene–by-environment interactions. Furthermore, we demonstrated a\r\nrelationship between average fitness effect of a gene across all environments and its\r\nenvironmental variance, and thus its predictability. Finally, in spite of the fitness effects\r\nof genes being highly environment-dependent, we still observed a common shape of\r\nDFEs across all tested environments." acknowledgement: "This study was supported by European Research Council ERC CoG 2014 – EVOLHGT,\r\nunder the grant number 648440.\r\n\r\nIt is a pleasure to thank the many people who made this thesis possible.\r\nI would like to first thank my advisor, Jonathan Paul Bollback for providing guidance in\r\nall aspects of my life, encouragement, sound advice, and good teaching over the last six\r\nyears.\r\nI would also like to thank the members of my dissertation committee – Călin C.

Despite its importance, basic questions regarding force transduction\r\nor directional sensing are still heavily investigated. Directed migration of cells\r\nguided by immobilized guidance cues - haptotaxis - occurs in key-processes,\r\nsuch as embryonic development and immunity (Middleton et al., 1997; Nguyen\r\net al., 2000; Thiery, 1984; Weber et al., 2013). Immobilized guidance cues\r\ncomprise adhesive ligands, such as collagen and fibronectin (Barczyk et al.,\r\n2009), or chemokines - the main guidance cues for migratory leukocytes\r\n(Middleton et al., 1997; Weber et al., 2013). While adhesive ligands serve as\r\nattachment sites guiding cell migration (Carter, 1965), chemokines instruct\r\nhaptotactic migration by inducing adhesion to adhesive ligands and directional\r\nguidance (Rot and Andrian, 2004; Schumann et al., 2010). Quantitative analysis\r\nof the cellular response to immobilized guidance cues requires in vitro assays\r\nthat foster cell migration, offer accurate control of the immobilized cues on a\r\nsubcellular scale and in the ideal case closely reproduce in vivo conditions. The\r\nexploration of haptotactic cell migration through design and employment of such\r\nassays represents the main focus of this work.\r\nDendritic cells (DCs) are leukocytes, which after encountering danger\r\nsignals such as pathogens in peripheral organs instruct naïve T-cells and\r\nconsequently the adaptive immune response in the lymph node (Mellman and\r\nSteinman, 2001). To reach the lymph node from the periphery, DCs follow\r\nhaptotactic gradients of the chemokine CCL21 towards lymphatic vessels\r\n(Weber et al., 2013). Questions about how DCs interpret haptotactic CCL21\r\ngradients have not yet been addressed. The main reason for this is the lack of\r\nan assay that offers diverse haptotactic environments, hence allowing the study\r\nof DC migration as a response to different signals of immobilized guidance cue.\r\nIn this work, we developed an in vitro assay that enables us to\r\nquantitatively assess DC haptotaxis, by combining precisely controllable\r\nchemokine photo-patterning with physically confining migration conditions. With this tool at hand, we studied the influence of CCL21 gradient properties and\r\nconcentration on DC haptotaxis. We found that haptotactic gradient sensing\r\ndepends on the absolute CCL21 concentration in combination with the local\r\nsteepness of the gradient. Our analysis suggests that the directionality of\r\nmigrating DCs is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of CCL21 binding to its\r\nreceptor CCR7. Moreover, the haptotactic CCL21 gradient formed in vivo\r\nprovides an optimal shape for DCs to recognize haptotactic guidance cue.\r\nBy reconstitution of the CCL21 gradient in vitro we were also able to\r\nstudy the influence of CCR7 signal termination on DC haptotaxis. To this end,\r\nwe used DCs lacking the G-protein coupled receptor kinase GRK6, which is\r\nresponsible for CCL21 induced CCR7 receptor phosphorylation and\r\ndesensitization (Zidar et al., 2009). We found that CCR7 desensitization by\r\nGRK6 is crucial for maintenance of haptotactic CCL21 gradient sensing in vitro\r\nand confirm those observations in vivo.\r\nIn the context of the organism, immobilized haptotactic guidance cues\r\noften coincide and compete with soluble chemotactic guidance cues. During\r\nwound healing, fibroblasts are exposed and influenced by adhesive cues and\r\nsoluble factors at the same time (Wu et al., 2012; Wynn, 2008). Similarly,\r\nmigrating DCs are exposed to both, soluble chemokines (CCL19 and truncated\r\nCCL21) inducing chemotactic behavior as well as the immobilized CCL21. To\r\nquantitatively assess these complex coinciding immobilized and soluble\r\nguidance cues, we implemented our chemokine photo-patterning technique in a\r\nmicrofluidic system allowing for chemotactic gradient generation. To validate\r\nthe assay, we observed DC migration in competing CCL19/CCL21\r\nenvironments.\r\nAdhesiveness guided haptotaxis has been studied intensively over the\r\nlast century. However, quantitative studies leading to conceptual models are\r\nlargely missing, again due to the lack of a precisely controllable in vitro assay. A\r\nrequirement for such an in vitro assay is that it must prevent any uncontrolled\r\ncell adhesion. This can be accomplished by stable passivation of the surface. In\r\naddition, controlled adhesion must be sustainable, quantifiable and dose\r\ndependent in order to create homogenous gradients. Therefore, we developed a novel covalent photo-patterning technique satisfying all these needs. In\r\ncombination with a sustainable poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) surface coating we\r\nwere able to generate gradients of adhesive cue to direct cell migration. This\r\napproach allowed us to characterize the haptotactic migratory behavior of\r\nzebrafish keratocytes in vitro. Furthermore, defined patterns of adhesive cue\r\nallowed us to control for cell shape and growth on a subcellular scale." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "First, I would like to thank Michael Sixt for being a great supervisor, mentor and\r\nscientist.

While being quite well understood, this approach disregards an\r\nimportant aspect of human learning: when facing a new problem, humans are able to\r\nexploit knowledge acquired from previously learned tasks. Intuitively, access to several\r\nproblems simultaneously or sequentially could also be advantageous for a machine\r\nlearning system, especially if these tasks are closely related. Indeed, results of many\r\nempirical studies have provided justification for this intuition. However, theoretical\r\njustifications of this idea are rather limited.\r\nThe focus of this thesis is to expand the understanding of potential benefits of information\r\ntransfer between several related learning problems. We provide theoretical\r\nanalysis for three scenarios of multi-task learning - multiple kernel learning, sequential\r\nlearning and active task selection. We also provide a PAC-Bayesian perspective on\r\nlifelong learning and investigate how the task generation process influences the generalization\r\nguarantees in this scenario. In addition, we show how some of the obtained\r\ntheoretical results can be used to derive principled multi-task and lifelong learning\r\nalgorithms and illustrate their performance on various synthetic and real-world datasets." acknowledgement: "First and foremost I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Christoph\r\nLampert.

The qualitative analysis problem given a POMDP and an objective asks whether there is a strategy (policy) to ensure that the objective is satisfied almost surely (with probability 1), resp. with positive probability (with probability greater than 0). For POMDPs with limit-average payoff, where a reward value in the interval [0,1] is associated to every transition, and the payoff of an infinite path is the long-run average of the rewards, we consider two types of path constraints: (i) a quantitative limit-average constraint defines the set of paths where the payoff is at least a given threshold L1 = 1. Our main results for qualitative limit-average constraint under almost-sure winning are as follows: (i) the problem of deciding the existence of a finite-memory controller is EXPTIME-complete; and (ii) the problem of deciding the existence of an infinite-memory controller is undecidable. For quantitative limit-average constraints we show that the problem of deciding the existence of a finite-memory controller is undecidable. We present a prototype implementation of our EXPTIME algorithm. For POMDPs with w-regular conditions specified as parity objectives, while the qualitative analysis problems are known to be undecidable even for very special case of parity objectives, we establish decidability (with optimal complexity) of the qualitative analysis problems for POMDPs with parity objectives under finite-memory strategies. We establish optimal (exponential) memory bounds and EXPTIME-completeness of the qualitative analysis problems under finite-memory strategies for POMDPs with parity objectives. Based on our theoretical algorithms we also present a practical approach, where we design heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have applied our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics applications. For POMDPs with a set of target states and an integer cost associated with every transition, we study the optimization objective that asks to minimize the expected total cost of reaching a state in the target set, while ensuring that the target set is reached almost surely. We show that for general integer costs approximating the optimal cost is undecidable. For positive costs, our results are as follows: (i) we establish matching lower and upper bounds for the optimal cost, both double and exponential in the POMDP state space size; (ii) we show that the problem of approximating the optimal cost is decidable and present approximation algorithms that extend existing algorithms for POMDPs with finite-horizon objectives. We show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest. We study more deeply the problem of almost-sure reachability, where given a set of target states, the question is to decide whether there is a strategy to ensure that the target set is reached almost surely. While in general the problem EXPTIME-complete, in many practical cases strategies with a small amount of memory suffice. Moreover, the existing solution to the problem is explicit, which first requires to construct explicitly an exponential reduction to a belief-support MDP. We first study the existence of observation-stationary strategies, which is NP-complete, and then small-memory strategies. We present a symbolic algorithm by an efficient encoding to SAT and using a SAT solver for the problem. We report experimental results demonstrating the scalability of our symbolic (SAT-based) approach. Decentralized POMDPs (DEC-POMDPs) extend POMDPs to a multi-agent setting, where several agents operate in an uncertain environment independently to achieve a joint objective. In this work we consider Goal DEC-POMDPs, where given a set of target states, the objective is to ensure that the target set is reached with minimal cost. We consider the indefinite-horizon (infinite-horizon with either discounted-sum, or undiscounted-sum, where absorbing goal states have zero-cost) problem. We present a new and novel method to solve the problem that extends methods for finite-horizon DEC-POMDPs and the real-time dynamic programming approach for POMDPs. We present experimental results on several examples, and show that our approach presents promising results. In the end we present a short summary of a few other results related to verification of MDPs and POMDPs.' alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik citation: ama: Chmelik M.

In particular, we are interested in maps f : K → Rd that have no global r -fold intersection points, i.e., no r -fold points with preimages in r pairwise disjoint simplices of K , and we seek necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such maps.\r\n\r\nWe present higher-multiplicity analogues of several classical results for embeddings, in particular of the completeness of the Van Kampen obstruction \ for embeddability of k -dimensional\r\ncomplexes into R2k , k ≥ 3. Speciffically, we show that under suitable restrictions on the dimensions(viz., if dimK = (r ≥ 1)k and d = rk \\ for some k ≥ 3), a well-known deleted product criterion (DPC ) is not only necessary but also sufficient for the existence of maps without global r -fold points. Our main technical tool is a higher-multiplicity version of the classical Whitney trick , by which pairs of isolated r -fold points of opposite sign can be eliminated by local modiffications of the map, assuming codimension d – dimK ≥ 3.\r\n\r\nAn important guiding idea for our work was that suffciency of the DPC, together with an old\r\nresult of Özaydin's on the existence of equivariant maps, might yield an approach to disproving the remaining open cases of the the long-standing topological Tverberg conjecture , i.e., to construct maps from the N -simplex σN to Rd without r-Tverberg points when r not a prime power and\r\nN = (d + 1)(r – 1).

Whether the plasticity properties of these synapses are consistent with their proposed network functions remains unclear. Here, we examine the properties of spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) at CA3–CA3 synapses. Low-frequency pairing of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and action potentials (APs) induces long-term potentiation (LTP), independent of temporal order. The STDP curve is symmetric and broad (half-width ~150 ms). Consistent with these STDP induction properties, AP–EPSP sequences lead to supralinear summation of spine [Ca2+] transients. Furthermore, afterdepolarizations (ADPs) following APs efficiently propagate into dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons, and EPSPs summate with dendritic ADPs. In autoassociative network models, storage and recall are more robust with symmetric than with asymmetric STDP rules. Thus, a specialized STDP induction rule allows reliable storage and recall of information in the hippocampal CA3 network. acknowledgement: 'We thank Jozsef Csicsvari and Nelson Spruston for critically reading the manuscript.

To examine the induction rules of synaptic plasticity at CA3-CA3 synapses, we performed whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in acute hippocampal slices from rats (postnatal 21-24 days) at room temperature. Compound excitatory postsynaptic potentials (ESPSs) were recorded by tract stimulation in stratum oriens in the presence of 10 µM gabazine. High-frequency stimulation (HFS) induced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP). Although LTP by HFS did not requier postsynaptic spikes, it was blocked by Na+-channel blockers suggesting that local active processes (e.g.) dendritic spikes) may contribute to LTP induction without requirement of a somatic action potential (AP). We next examined the properties of spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) at CA3-CA3 synapses. Unexpectedly, low-frequency pairing of EPSPs and backpropagated action potentialy (bAPs) induced LTP, independent of temporal order. The STDP curve was symmetric and broad, with a half-width of ~150 ms. Consistent with these specific STDP induction properties, post-presynaptic sequences led to a supralinear summation of spine [Ca2+] transients. Furthermore, in autoassociative network models, storage and recall was substantially more robust with symmetric than with asymmetric STDP rules. In conclusion, we found associative forms of LTP at CA3-CA3 recurrent collateral synapses with distinct induction rules. LTP induced by HFS may be associated with dendritic spikes. In contrast, low frequency pairing of pre- and postsynaptic activity induced LTP only if EPSP-AP were temporally very close. Together, these induction mechanisms of synaptiic plasticity may contribute to memory storage in the CA3-CA3 microcircuit at different ranges of activity. alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Rajiv Kumar full_name: Mishra, Rajiv Kumar id: 46CB58F2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Mishra citation: ama: Mishra RK.

Hence, it is crucial to understand the\r\nimpact of environmental variation on evolutionary processes. In this thesis, I present\r\nthree topics that share the common theme of environmental variation, yet illustrate its\r\neffect from different perspectives.\r\nFirst, I show how a temporally fluctuating environment gives rise to second-order\r\nselection on a modifier for stress-induced mutagenesis. Without fluctuations, when\r\npopulations are adapted to their environment, mutation rates are minimized. I argue\r\nthat a stress-induced mutator mechanism may only be maintained if the population is\r\nrepeatedly subjected to diverse environmental challenges, and I outline implications of\r\nthe presented results to antibiotic treatment strategies.\r\nSecond, I discuss my work on the evolution of dispersal. Besides reproducing\r\nknown results about the effect of heterogeneous habitats on dispersal, it identifies\r\nspatial changes in dispersal type frequencies as a source for selection for increased\r\npropensities to disperse. This concept contains effects of relatedness that are known\r\nto promote dispersal, and I explain how it identifies other forces selecting for dispersal\r\nand puts them on a common scale.\r\nThird, I analyse genetic variances of phenotypic traits under multivariate stabilizing\r\nselection. For the case of constant environments, I generalize known formulae of\r\nequilibrium variances to multiple traits and discuss how the genetic variance of a focal\r\ntrait is influenced by selection on background traits. I conclude by presenting ideas and\r\npreliminary work aiming at including environmental fluctuations in the form of moving\r\ntrait optima into the model." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Novak, Sebastian id: 461468AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novak orcid: 0000-0002-2519-824X citation: ama: Novak S.

Our approach helps the programmer by automatically fixing concurrency-related bugs, i.e. bugs that occur when the program is executed using an aggressive preemptive scheduler, but not when using a non-preemptive (cooperative) scheduler. Bugs are program behaviours that are incorrect w.r.t. a specification. We consider both user-provided explicit specifications in the form of assertion\r\nstatements in the code as well as an implicit specification. The implicit specification is inferred from the non-preemptive behaviour. Let us consider sequences of calls that the program makes to an external interface. The implicit specification requires that any such sequence produced under a preemptive scheduler should be included in the set of sequences produced under a non-preemptive scheduler. We consider several semantics-preserving fixes that go beyond atomic sections typically explored in the synchronisation synthesis literature. Our synthesis is able to place locks, barriers and wait-signal statements and last, but not least reorder independent statements. The latter may be useful if a thread is released to early, e.g., before some initialisation is completed. We guarantee that our synthesis does not introduce deadlocks and that the synchronisation inserted is optimal w.r.t. a given objective function. We dub our solution trace-based synchronisation synthesis and it is loosely based on counterexample-guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS). The synthesis works by discovering a trace that is incorrect w.r.t. the specification and identifying ordering constraints crucial to trigger the specification violation. Synchronisation may be placed immediately (greedy approach) or delayed until all incorrect traces are found (non-greedy approach). For the non-greedy approach we construct a set of global constraints over synchronisation placements. Each model of the global constraints set corresponds to a correctness-ensuring synchronisation placement. The placement that is optimal w.r.t. the given objective function is chosen as the synchronisation solution. We evaluate our approach on a number of realistic (albeit simplified) Linux device-driver\r\nbenchmarks. The benchmarks are versions of the drivers with known concurrency-related bugs. For the experiments with an explicit specification we added assertions that would detect the bugs in the experiments. Device drivers lend themselves to implicit specification, where the device and the operating system are the external interfaces. Our experiments demonstrate that our synthesis method is precise and efficient. We implemented objective functions for coarse-grained and fine-grained locking and observed that different synchronisation placements are produced for our experiments, favouring e.g. a minimal number of synchronisation operations or maximum concurrency." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Tarrach, Thorsten id: 3D6E8F2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tarrach orcid: 0000-0003-4409-8487 citation: ama: Tarrach T.

The main idea is that we monitor each simulation run on the fly, in order to detect quickly if a bottom strongly connected component is entered with high probability, in which case the simulation run can be terminated early. As a result, our simulation runs are often much shorter than required by termination bounds that are computed a priori for a desired level of confidence on a large state space. In comparison to previous algorithms for statistical model checking our method is not only faster in many cases but also requires less information about the system, namely, only the minimum transition probability that occurs in the Markov chain. In addition, our method can be generalised to unbounded quantitative properties such as mean-payoff bounds. acknowledgement: "This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under\r\ngrant agreement 267989 (QUAREM), the Austrian Science Fund \ (FWF) under\r\ngrants project S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), the Peo-\r\nple Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework\r\nProgramme (FP7/2007-2013) REA Grant No 291734, the SNSF Advanced Postdoc.\r\nMobility Fellowship – grant number P300P2\r\n161067, and the Czech Science Foun-\r\ndation under grant agreement P202/12/G061." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Przemyslaw full_name: Daca, Przemyslaw id: 49351290-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Daca - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 citation: ama: 'Daca P, Henzinger TA, Kretinsky J, Petrov T.

However, it suffers from the path-explosion problem and often fails to find tests that cover difficult-to-reach parts of programs. In contrast, model checkers based on counterexample-guided abstraction refinement explore programs exhaustively, while failing to scale on large programs with precision. In this paper, we present a novel method that iteratively combines concolic testing and model checking to find a test suite for a given coverage criterion. If concolic testing fails to cover some test goals, then the model checker refines its program abstraction to prove more paths infeasible, which reduces the search space for concolic testing. We have implemented our method on top of the concolictesting tool Crest and the model checker CpaChecker. We evaluated our tool on a collection of programs and a category of SvComp benchmarks. In our experiments, we observed an improvement in branch coverage compared to Crest from 48% to 63% in the best case, and from 66% to 71% on average. acknowledgement: "We thank Andrey Kupriyanov for feedback on the manuscript,\r\nand Michael Tautschnig for help with preparing the experiments.

The properties expressible in Array Folds Logic (AFL) include statements such as "the first array cell contains the array length," and "the array contains equally many minimal and maximal elements." These properties cannot be expressed in quantified fragments of the theory of arrays, nor in the theory of concatenation. Using reduction to counter machines, we show that the satisfiability problem of AFL is PSPACE-complete, and with a natural restriction the complexity decreases to NP. We also show that adding either universal quantifiers or concatenation leads to undecidability.\r\nAFL contains terms that fold a function over an array. We demonstrate that folding, a well-known concept from functional languages, allows us to concisely summarize loops that count over arrays, which occurs frequently in real-life programs. We provide a tool that can discharge proof obligations in AFL, and we demonstrate on practical examples that our decision procedure can solve a broad range of problems in symbolic testing and program verification." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Przemyslaw full_name: Daca, Przemyslaw id: 49351290-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Daca - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Andrey full_name: Kupriyanov, Andrey id: 2C311BF8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kupriyanov citation: ama: 'Daca P, Henzinger TA, Kupriyanov A.

The mechanism is based on the balance between methyltransferase (M) and cognate restriction endonuclease (R). M tags endogenous DNA as self by methylating short specific DNA sequences called restriction sites, whereas R recognizes unmethylated restriction sites as non-self and introduces a double-stranded DNA break [3]. Restriction sites are significantly underrepresented in prokaryotic genomes [4-7], suggesting that the discrimination mechanism is imperfect and occasionally leads to autoimmunity due to self-DNA cleavage (self-restriction) [8]. Furthermore, RM systems can promote DNA recombination [9] and contribute to genetic variation in microbial populations, thus facilitating adaptive evolution [10]. However, cleavage of self-DNA by RM systems as elements shaping prokaryotic genomes has not been directly detected, and its cause, frequency, and outcome are unknown. We quantify self-restriction caused by two RM systems of Escherichia coli and find that, in agreement with levels of restriction site avoidance, EcoRI, but not EcoRV, cleaves self-DNA at a measurable rate. Self-restriction is a stochastic process, which temporarily induces the SOS response, and is followed by DNA repair, maintaining cell viability. We find that RM systems with higher restriction efficiency against bacteriophage infections exhibit a higher rate of self-restriction, and that this rate can be further increased by stochastic imbalance between R and M. Our results identify molecular noise in RM systems as a factor shaping prokaryotic genomes. acknowledgement: This work was funded by an HFSP Young Investigators’ grant.

By introducing simplifying assumptions that allow us to quickly estimate stress intensities and opening displacements during crack propagation, we build a fracture algorithm where the cost of each time step scales linearly with the length of the crackfront. The transition from a full boundary element method to our faster variant is possible at the beginning of any time step. This allows us to build a hybrid method, which uses the expensive but more accurate BEM while the number of degrees of freedom is low, and uses the fast method once that number exceeds a given threshold as the crack geometry becomes more complicated. Furthermore, we integrate this fracture simulation with a standard rigid-body solver. Our rigid-body coupling solves a Neumann boundary value problem by carefully separating translational, rotational and deformational components of the collision forces and then applying a Tikhonov regularizer to the resulting linear system. We show that our method produces physically reasonable results in standard test cases and is capable of dealing with complex scenes faster than previous finite- or boundary element approaches. alternative_title: - ACM Transactions on Graphics article_number: '104' author: - first_name: David full_name: Hahn, David id: 357A6A66-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hahn - first_name: Christopher J full_name: Wojtan, Christopher J id: 3C61F1D2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wojtan orcid: 0000-0001-6646-5546 citation: ama: 'Hahn D, Wojtan C.

[GGSW13]. A WE scheme is defined for some NP language L and lets a sender encrypt messages relative to instances x. A ciphertext for x can be decrypted using w witnessing x ∈ L, but hides the message if x ∈ L. Garg et al. construct WE from multilinear maps and give another construction [GGH+13b] using indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) for circuits. Due to the reliance on such heavy tools, WE can cur- rently hardly be implemented on powerful hardware and will unlikely be realizable on constrained devices like smart cards any time soon. We construct a WE scheme where encryption is done by simply computing a Naor-Yung ciphertext (two CPA encryptions and a NIZK proof). To achieve this, our scheme has a setup phase, which outputs public parameters containing an obfuscated circuit (only required for decryption), two encryption keys and a common reference string (used for encryption). This setup need only be run once, and the parame- ters can be used for arbitrary many encryptions. Our scheme can also be turned into a functional WE scheme, where a message is encrypted w.r.t. a statement and a function f, and decryption with a witness w yields f (m, w). Our construction is inspired by the functional encryption scheme by Garg et al. and we prove (selective) security assuming iO and statistically simulation-sound NIZK. We give a construction of the latter in bilinear groups and combining it with ElGamal encryption, our ciphertexts are of size 1.3 kB at a 128-bit security level and can be computed on a smart card. acknowledgement: Research supported by the European Research Council, ERC starting grant (259668-PSPC) and ERC consolidator grant (682815 - TOCNeT). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Hamza M full_name: Abusalah, Hamza M id: 40297222-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Abusalah - first_name: Georg full_name: Fuchsbauer, Georg id: 46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fuchsbauer - first_name: Krzysztof Z full_name: Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z id: 3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pietrzak orcid: 0000-0002-9139-1654 citation: ama: 'Abusalah HM, Fuchsbauer G, Pietrzak KZ.

Although red light offers deep-tissue penetration and minimal phototoxicity, very few red-light-sensitive optogenetic methods are currently available. We have now developed a red-light-induced homodimerization domain. We first showed that an optimized sensory domain of the cyanobacterial phytochrome 1 can be expressed robustly and without cytotoxicity in human cells. We then applied this domain to induce the dimerization of two receptor tyrosine kinases—the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and the neurotrophin receptor trkB. This new optogenetic method was then used to activate the MAPK/ERK pathway non-invasively in mammalian tissue and in multicolor cell-signaling experiments. The light-controlled dimerizer and red-light-activated receptor tyrosine kinases will prove useful to regulate a variety of cellular processes with light.

Limited specificity may lead to crosstalk: a regulatory state in which a gene is either incorrectly activated due to noncognate TF–DNA interactions or remains erroneously inactive. As each TF can have numerous interactions with noncognate cis-regulatory elements, crosstalk is inherently a global problem, yet has previously not been studied as such. We construct a theoretical framework to analyse the effects of global crosstalk on gene regulation. We find that crosstalk presents a significant challenge for organisms with low-specificity TFs, such as metazoans. Crosstalk is not easily mitigated by known regulatory schemes acting at equilibrium, including variants of cooperativity and combinatorial regulation. Our results suggest that crosstalk imposes a previously unexplored global constraint on the functioning and evolution of regulatory networks, which is qualitatively distinct from the known constraints that act at the level of individual gene regulatory elements.' article_number: '12307' author: - first_name: Tamar full_name: Friedlander, Tamar id: 36A5845C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Friedlander - first_name: Roshan full_name: Prizak, Roshan id: 4456104E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Prizak - first_name: Calin C full_name: Guet, Calin C id: 47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Guet orcid: 0000-0001-6220-2052 - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 - first_name: Gasper full_name: Tkacik, Gasper id: 3D494DCA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tkacik orcid: 0000-0002-6699-1455 citation: ama: Friedlander T, Prizak R, Guet CC, Barton NH, Tkačik G.

Mitochondrial uncouplers dissipate this proton gradient and disrupt numerous cellular processes, including vesicular trafficking, mainly through energy depletion. Here we show that Endosidin9 (ES9), a novel mitochondrial uncoupler, is a potent inhibitor of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in different systems and that ES9 induces inhibition of CME not because of its effect on cellular ATP, but rather due to its protonophore activity that leads to cytoplasm acidification. We show that the known tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostinA23, which is routinely used to block CME, displays similar properties, thus questioning its use as a specific inhibitor of cargo recognition by the AP-2 adaptor complex via tyrosine motif-based endocytosis signals. Furthermore, we show that cytoplasm acidification dramatically affects the dynamics and recruitment of clathrin and associated adaptors, and leads to reduction of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate from the plasma membrane. acknowledgement: "We thank Yvon Jaillais, Ikuko Hara-Nishimura, Akihiko Nakano, Takashi Ueda and Jinxing Lin for providing materials, Natasha Raikhel, Glenn Hicks, Steffen Vanneste, and Ricardo Tejos for useful suggestions, Patrick Callaerts for providing S2 Drosophila cell cultures, Michael Sixt for providing HeLa cells, Annick Bleys for literature searches, VIB Bio Imaging Core for help with imaging conditions and Martine De Cock for help in preparing the article.

Here, we study holes confined in Ge hut wires, a so-far unexplored type of nanostructure. Low-temperature magnetotransport measurements reveal a large anisotropy between the in-plane and out-of-plane g-factors of up to 18. Numerical simulations verify that this large anisotropy originates from a confined wave function of heavy-hole character. A light-hole admixture of less than 1% is estimated for the states of lowest energy, leading to a surprisingly large reduction of the out-of-plane g-factors compared with those for pure heavy holes. Given this tiny light-hole contribution, the spin lifetimes are expected to be very long, even in isotopically nonpurified samples. acknowledgement: 'The work was supported by the EC FP7 ICT project SiSPIN no. 323841, the EC FP7 ICT project PAMS no. 610446, the ERC Starting Grant no. 335497, the FWF-I-1190-N20 project, and the Swiss NSF.

First, the generic models described in IEC-61375 are translated into a network of timed automata, and some safety requirements tested in IEC-61375 are formalized as timed computation tree logic (TCTL) formulas. With the help of Uppaal, we check and debug whether the timed automata satisfy the formulas or not. Within this step, several logic inconsistencies in the original standard are detected and corrected. Then, we apply the tool Times to generate C code from the verified model, which was later synthesized into a real MVBC chip. Finally, the runtime verification tool RMOR is applied to verify some safety requirements at the implementation level. We set up a real platform with worldwide mostly used MVBC D113, and verify the correctness and the scalability of the synthesized MVBC chip more comprehensively. The errors in the standard has been confirmed and the resulted MVBC has been deployed in real train communication network. acknowledgement: "This research is sponsored in part by NSFC Program (No. 91218302, No. 61527812), National Science and Technology Major Project (No. 2016ZX01038101), Tsinghua University Initiative Scientific Research Program (20131089331), MIIT IT funds (Research and application of TCN key technologies) of China, and the National Key Technology R&D Program (No. 2015BAG14B01-02), Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23.\r\n" alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Han full_name: Liu, Han last_name: Liu - first_name: Houbing full_name: Song, Houbing last_name: Song - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 - first_name: Ming full_name: Gu, Ming last_name: Gu - first_name: Jiaguang full_name: Sun, Jiaguang last_name: Sun - first_name: Lui full_name: Sha, Lui last_name: Sha citation: ama: 'Jiang Y, Liu H, Song H, et al.

It extends the Moser-Tardos resampling algorithm [3] to more general discrete spaces. At each step the method picks a flaw present in the current state and "resamples" it using a "resampling oracle" provided by the user. However, it is less flexible than the Moser-Tardos method since [1], [2] require a specific flaw selection rule, whereas [3] allows an arbitrary rule (and thus can potentially be implemented more efficiently). We formulate a new "commutativity" condition, and prove that it is sufficient for an arbitrary rule to work. It also enables an efficient parallelization under an additional assumption. We then show that existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutations do satisfy this condition. Finally, we generalize the precondition in [2] (in the case of symmetric potential causality graphs). This unifies special cases that previously were treated separately. acknowledgement: European Unions Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement no 616160 article_number: '7782993' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov citation: ama: 'Kolmogorov V.

The questions concerned are: (a) qualitative ones that ask (i) whether the program terminates with probability 1 (almost-sure termination) and (ii) whether the expected termination time is finite (finite termination); (b) quantitative ones that ask (i) to approximate the expected termination time (expectation problem) and (ii) to compute a bound B such that the probability to terminate after B steps decreases exponentially (concentration problem). To solve these questions, we utilize the notion of ranking supermartingales which is a powerful approach for proving termination of probabilistic programs. In detail, we focus on algorithmic synthesis of linear ranking-supermartingales over affine probabilistic programs (APP''s) with both angelic and demonic non-determinism. An important subclass of APP''s is LRAPP which is defined as the class of all APP''s over which a linear ranking-supermartingale exists. Our main contributions are as follows. Firstly, we show that the membership problem of LRAPP (i) can be decided in polynomial time for APP''s with at most demonic non-determinism, and (ii) is NP-hard and in PSPACE for APP''s with angelic non-determinism; moreover, the NP-hardness result holds already for APP''s without probability and demonic non-determinism. Secondly, we show that the concentration problem over LRAPP can be solved in the same complexity as for the membership problem of LRAPP. Finally, we show that the expectation problem over LRAPP can be solved in 2EXPTIME and is PSPACE-hard even for APP''s without probability and non-determinism (i.e., deterministic programs). Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to answer the qualitative and quantitative questions over APP''s with at most demonic non-determinism.' acknowledgement: 'Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) under Grant No. 61532019 ' alternative_title: - POPL author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Hongfei full_name: Fu, Hongfei id: 3AAD03D6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fu - first_name: Petr full_name: Novotny, Petr id: 3CC3B868-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novotny - first_name: Rouzbeh full_name: Hasheminezhad, Rouzbeh last_name: Hasheminezhad citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Fu H, Novotný P, Hasheminezhad R.

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. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 citation: ama: 'Barton NH.

Therefore, epistasis is expected to evolve among physically interacting sites and to influence the rates of substitution. To study the evolution of epistasis, we focused on the major structural protein of the ϕX174 phage family by, first, reconstructing the ancestral protein sequences of 18 species using a Bayesian statistical framework. The inferred ancestral reconstruction differed at eight AAs, for a total of 256 possible ancestral haplotypes. For each ancestral haplotype and the extant species, we estimated, in silico, the distribution of free energies and epistasis of the capsid structure. We found that free energy has not significantly increased but epistasis has. We decomposed epistasis up to fifth order and found that higher-order epistasis sometimes compensates pairwise interactions making the free energy seem additive. The dN/dS ratio is low, suggesting strong purifying selection, and that structure is under stabilizing selection. We synthesized phages carrying ancestral haplotypes of the coat protein gene and measured their fitness experimentally. Our findings indicate that stabilizing mutations can have higher fitness, and that fitness optima do not necessarily coincide with energy minima. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Rodrigo A full_name: Fernandes Redondo, Rodrigo A id: 409D5C96-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fernandes Redondo orcid: 0000-0002-5837-2793 - first_name: Harold full_name: de Vladar, Harold id: 2A181218-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: de Vladar orcid: 0000-0002-5985-7653 - first_name: Tomasz full_name: Włodarski, Tomasz last_name: Włodarski - first_name: Jonathan P full_name: Bollback, Jonathan P id: 2C6FA9CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bollback orcid: 0000-0002-4624-4612 citation: ama: Fernandes Redondo RA, de Vladar H, Włodarski T, Bollback JP.

In simpler graph-theoretical terms our result can be viewed as follows. Given a graph G with the vertex set partitioned into three parts embedded on a 2-sphere, our algorithm decides if we can augment G by adding edges without creating an edge-crossing so that in the resulting spherical graph the vertices of each part induce a connected sub-graph. We proceed by a reduction to the problem of testing the existence of a perfect matching in planar bipartite graphs. We formulate our result in a slightly more general setting of cyclic clustered graphs, i.e., the simple graph obtained by contracting each cluster, where we disregard loops and multi-edges, is a cycle. acknowledgement: "R.

Previous studies suggested that the main types of principal neurons, dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs), CA3 pyramidal neurons, and CA1 pyramidal neurons, differ in their activity pattern, with sparse firing in GCs and more frequent firing in CA3 and CA1 pyramidal neurons. It has been assumed but never shown that such different activity may be caused by differential synaptic excitation. To test this hypothesis, we performed high-resolution whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in anesthetized rats in vivo. In contrast to previous in vitro data, both CA3 and CA1 pyramidal neurons fired action potentials spontaneously, with a frequency of ∼3–6 Hz, whereas GCs were silent. Furthermore, both CA3 and CA1 cells primarily fired in bursts. To determine the underlying mechanisms, we quantitatively assessed the frequency of spontaneous excitatory synaptic input, the passive membrane properties, and the active membrane characteristics. Surprisingly, GCs showed comparable synaptic excitation to CA3 and CA1 cells and the highest ratio of excitation versus hyperpolarizing inhibition. Thus, differential synaptic excitation is not responsible for differences in firing. Moreover, the three types of hippocampal neurons markedly differed in their passive properties. While GCs showed the most negative membrane potential, CA3 pyramidal neurons had the highest input resistance and the slowest membrane time constant. The three types of neurons also differed in the active membrane characteristics. GCs showed the highest action potential threshold, but displayed the largest gain of the input-output curves. In conclusion, our results reveal that differential firing of the three main types of hippocampal principal neurons in vivo is not primarily caused by differences in the characteristics of the synaptic input, but by the distinct properties of synaptic integration and input-output transformation. acknowledgement: "The authors thank Jose Guzman for critically reading prior versions of the manuscript.

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.

Future quantum information networks will require coherent microwave-to-optical conversion to link electronic quantum processors and memories via low-loss optical telecommunication networks. Efficient conversion can be achieved with electro-optical modulators operating at the single microwave photon level. In the standard electro-optic modulation scheme, this is impossible because both up- and down-converted sidebands are necessarily present. Here, we demonstrate true single-sideband up- or down-conversion in a triply resonant whispering gallery mode resonator by explicitly addressing modes with asymmetric free spectral range. Compared to previous experiments, we show a 3 orders of magnitude improvement of the electro-optical conversion efficiency, reaching 0.1% photon number conversion for a 10 GHz microwave tone at 0.42 mW of optical pump power. The presented scheme is fully compatible with existing superconducting 3D circuit quantum electrodynamics technology and can be used for nonclassical state conversion and communication. Our conversion bandwidth is larger than 1 MHz and is not fundamentally limited. acknowledgement: Alexander von Humboldt Foundation; Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes.

According to the canalization hypothesis, the plant hormone auxin serves as polarizing signal that mediates directional channel formation underlying the spatio-temporal vasculature patterning. A necessary part of canalization is a positive feedback between auxin signaling and polarity of the intercellular auxin flow. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of this process are still poorly understood, not the least, because of a lack of a suitable model system. We show that the main genetic model plant, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) can be used to study the canalization during vascular cambium regeneration and new vasculature formation. We monitored localized auxin responses, directional auxin-transport channels formation, and establishment of new vascular cambium polarity during regenerative processes after stem wounding. The increased auxin response above and around the wound preceded the formation of PIN1 auxin transporter-marked channels from the primarily homogenous tissue and the transient, gradual changes in PIN1 localization preceded the polarity of newly formed vascular tissue. Thus, Arabidopsis is a useful model for studies of coordinated tissue polarization and vasculature formation after wounding allowing for genetic and mechanistic dissection of the canalization hypothesis. acknowledgement: We wish to thank Prof. Ewa U.

Despite progress in understanding transitions between anthocyanin (blue, purple, pink or red) and unpigmented (white) flowers, little is known about the evolutionary patterns of flower-colour transitions in lineages with both yellow and anthocyanin-pigmented flowers. This study investigates the relative rates of evolutionary transitions between different combinations of yellow- and anthocyanin-pigmentation phenotypes in the tribe Antirrhineae. Methods We surveyed taxonomic literature for data on anthocyanin and yellow floral pigmentation for 369 species across the tribe. We then reconstructed the phylogeny of 169 taxa and used phylogenetic comparative methods to estimate transition rates among pigmentation phenotypes across the phylogeny. Key Results In contrast to previous studies we found a bias towards transitions involving a gain in pigmentation, although transitions to phenotypes with both anthocyanin and yellow taxa are nevertheless extremely rare. Despite the dominance of yellow and anthocyanin-pigmented taxa, transitions between these phenotypes are constrained to move through a white intermediate stage, whereas transitions to double-pigmentation are very rare. The most abundant transitions are between anthocyanin-pigmented and unpigmented flowers, and similarly the most abundant polymorphic taxa were those with anthocyanin-pigmented and unpigmented flowers. Conclusions Our findings show that pigment evolution is limited by the presence of other floral pigments. This interaction between anthocyanin and yellow pigments constrains the breadth of potential floral diversity observed in nature. In particular, they suggest that selection has repeatedly acted to promote the spread of single-pigmented phenotypes across the Antirrhineae phylogeny. Furthermore, the correlation between transition rates and polymorphism suggests that the forces causing and maintaining variance in the short term reflect evolutionary processes on longer time scales. acknowledgement: We thank Melinda Pickup, Spencer Barrett, Nick Barton and four anonymous reviewers for helpful discussions on previous versions of this manuscript.

On the one hand,\r\nthere is a healthy injection of pragmatism coming from the visual effects industry\r\nthat want robust algorithms that work so they can produce results at an increasingly\r\nfrantic pace. On the other hand, they must always try to push the envelope and\r\nachieve the impossible to wow their audiences in the next blockbuster, which means\r\nthat the industry has not succumb to conservatism, and there is plenty of room to\r\ntry out new and crazy ideas if there is a chance that it will pan into something\r\nuseful.\r\nWater simulation has been in visual effects for decades, however it still remains\r\nextremely challenging because of its high computational cost and difficult artdirectability.\r\nThe work in this thesis tries to address some of these difficulties.\r\nSpecifically, we make the following three novel contributions to the state-of-the-art\r\nin water simulation for visual effects.\r\nFirst, we develop the first algorithm that can convert any sequence of closed\r\nsurfaces in time into a moving triangle mesh. State-of-the-art methods at the time\r\ncould only handle surfaces with fixed connectivity, but we are the first to be able to\r\nhandle surfaces that merge and split apart. This is important for water simulation\r\npractitioners, because it allows them to convert splashy water surfaces extracted\r\nfrom particles or simulated using grid-based level sets into triangle meshes that can\r\nbe either textured and enhanced with extra surface dynamics as a post-process.\r\nWe also apply our algorithm to other phenomena that merge and split apart, such\r\nas morphs and noisy reconstructions of human performances.\r\nSecond, we formulate a surface-based energy that measures the deviation of a\r\nwater surface froma physically valid state. Such discrepancies arise when there is a\r\nmismatch in the degrees of freedom between the water surface and the underlying\r\nphysics solver. This commonly happens when practitioners use a moving triangle\r\nmesh with a grid-based physics solver, or when high-resolution grid-based surfaces\r\nare combined with low-resolution physics. Following the direction of steepest\r\ndescent on our surface-based energy, we can either smooth these artifacts or turn\r\nthem into high-resolution waves by interpreting the energy as a physical potential.\r\nThird, we extend state-of-the-art techniques in non-reflecting boundaries to handle spatially and time-varying background flows. This allows a novel new\r\nworkflow where practitioners can re-simulate part of an existing simulation, such\r\nas removing a solid obstacle, adding a new splash or locally changing the resolution.\r\nSuch changes can easily lead to new waves in the re-simulated region that would\r\nreflect off of the new simulation boundary, effectively ruining the illusion of a\r\nseamless simulation boundary between the existing and new simulations. Our\r\nnon-reflecting boundaries makes sure that such waves are absorbed." acknowledgement: "First and foremost I would like to thank Chris. I have been incredibly lucky to have\r\nyou as my advisor.

This provides an excellent opportunity to test the effect of molecular variation on fitness, and how this variation is able to spread through populations in a natural context. The snapdragon Antirrhinum majus is polymorphic in the wild for two loci controlling the distribution of yellow and magenta floral pigments. Where the yellow A. m. striatum and the magenta A. m. pseudomajus meet along a valley in the Spanish Pyrenees they form a stable hybrid zone Alleles at these loci recombine to give striking transgressive variation for flower colour. The sharp transition in phenotype over ~1km implies strong selection maintaining the hybrid zone. An indirect assay of pollinator visitation in the field found that pollinators forage in a positive-frequency dependent manner on Antirrhinum, matching previous data on fruit set. Experimental arrays and paternity analysis of wild-pollinated seeds demonstrated assortative mating for pigmentation alleles, and that pollinator behaviour alone is sufficient to explain this pattern. Selection by pollinators should be sufficiently strong to maintain the hybrid zone, although other mechanisms may be at work. At a broader scale I examined evolutionary transitions between yellow and anthocyanin pigmentation in the tribe Antirrhinae, and found that selection has acted strate that pollinators are a major determinant of reproductive success and mating patterns in wild Antirrhinum. acknowledgement: "I am indebted to many people for their support during my PhD, but I particularly wish to thank Nick Barton for his guidance and intuition, and for encouraging me to take the time to look beyond the immediate topic of my PhD to understand the broader context.

Sequence-specific binding of regulatory proteins is one of the key regulatory mechanisms determining gene expression. Although there has been intense interest in evolution of regulatory binding sites in the last decades, a theoretical understanding is far from being complete. In this thesis, I aim at a better understanding of the evolution of transcriptional regulatory binding sequences by using biophysical and population genetic models.\r\nIn the first part of the thesis, I discuss how to formulate the evolutionary dynamics of binding se- quences in a single isolated binding site and in promoter/enhancer regions. I develop a theoretical framework bridging between a thermodynamical model for transcription and a mutation-selection-drift model for monomorphic populations. I mainly address the typical evolutionary rates, and how they de- pend on biophysical parameters (e.g. binding length and specificity) and population genetic parameters (e.g. population size and selection strength).\r\nIn the second part of the thesis, I analyse empirical data for a better evolutionary and biophysical understanding of sequence-specific binding of bacterial RNA polymerase. First, I infer selection on regulatory and non-regulatory binding sites of RNA polymerase in the E. coli K12 genome. Second, I infer the chemical potential of RNA polymerase, an important but unknown physical parameter defining the threshold energy for strong binding. Furthermore, I try to understand the relation between the lac promoter sequence diversity and the LacZ activity variation among 20 bacterial isolates by constructing a simple but biophysically motivated gene expression model. Lastly, I lay out a statistical framework to predict adaptive point mutations in de novo promoter evolution in a selection experiment." acknowledgement: This PhD thesis may not have been completed without the help and care I received from some peo- ple during my PhD life. I am especially grateful to Tiago Paixao, Gasper Tkacik, Nick Barton, not only for their scientific advices but also for their patience and support.
