text: Dendritic cells are potent antigen-presenting cells endowed with the unique
ability to initiate adaptive immune responses upon inflammation. Inflammatory
processes are often associated with an increased production of serotonin, which
operates by activating specific receptors. However, the functional role of serotonin
receptors in regulation of dendritic cell functions is poorly understood. Here,
we demonstrate that expression of serotonin receptor 5-HT7 (5-HT7TR) as well as
its downstream effector Cdc42 is upregulated in dendritic cells upon maturation.
Although dendritic cell maturation was independent of 5-HT7TR, receptor stimulation
affected dendritic cell morphology through Cdc42-mediated signaling. In addition,
basal activity of 5-HT7TR was required for the proper expression of the chemokine
receptor CCR7, which is a key factor that controls dendritic cell migration. Consistent
with this, we observed that 5-HT7TR enhances chemotactic motility of dendritic
cells in vitro by modulating their directionality and migration velocity. Accordingly,
migration of dendritic cells in murine colon explants was abolished after pharmacological
receptor inhibition. Our results indicate that there is a crucial role for 5-HT7TR-Cdc42-mediated
signaling in the regulation of dendritic cell morphology and motility, suggesting
that 5-HT7TR could be a new target for treatment of a variety of inflammatory
and immune disorders.

text: We consider two-player games played on weighted directed graphs with mean-payoff
and total-payoff objectives, two classical quantitative objectives. While for
single-dimensional games the complexity and memory bounds for both objectives
coincide, we show that in contrast to multi-dimensional mean-payoff games that
are known to be coNP-complete, multi-dimensional total-payoff games are undecidable.
We introduce conservative approximations of these objectives, where the payoff
is considered over a local finite window sliding along a play, instead of the
whole play. For single dimension, we show that (i) if the window size is polynomial,
deciding the winner takes polynomial time, and (ii) the existence of a bounded
window can be decided in NP ∩ coNP, and is at least as hard as solving mean-payoff
games. For multiple dimensions, we show that (i) the problem with fixed window
size is EXPTIME-complete, and (ii) there is no primitive-recursive algorithm to
decide the existence of a bounded window.

text: 'We consider concurrent games played by two players on a finite-state graph,
where in every round the players simultaneously choose a move, and the current
state along with the joint moves determine the successor state. We study the most
fundamental objective for concurrent games, namely, mean-payoff or limit-average
objective, where a reward is associated to each transition, and the goal of player
1 is to maximize the long-run average of the rewards, and the objective of player
2 is strictly the opposite (i.e., the games are zero-sum). The path constraint
for player 1 could be qualitative, i.e., the mean-payoff is the maximal reward,
or arbitrarily close to it; or quantitative, i.e., a given threshold between the
minimal and maximal reward. We consider the computation of the almost-sure (resp.
positive) winning sets, where player 1 can ensure that the path constraint is
satisfied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability). Almost-sure winning
with qualitative constraint exactly corresponds to the question of whether there
exists a strategy to ensure that the payoff is the maximal reward of the game.
Our main results for qualitative path constraints are as follows: (1) we establish
qualitative determinacy results that show that for every state either player 1
has a strategy to ensure almost-sure (resp. positive) winning against all player-2
strategies, or player 2 has a spoiling strategy to falsify almost-sure (resp.
positive) winning against all player-1 strategies; (2) we present optimal strategy
complexity results that precisely characterize the classes of strategies required
for almost-sure and positive winning for both players; and (3) we present quadratic
time algorithms to compute the almost-sure and the positive winning sets, matching
the best known bound of the algorithms for much simpler problems (such as reachability
objectives). For quantitative constraints we show that a polynomial time solution
for the almost-sure or the positive winning set would imply a solution to a long-standing
open problem (of solving the value problem of turn-based deterministic mean-payoff
games) that is not known to be solvable in polynomial time.'

text: Ethylene is a gaseous phytohormone that plays vital roles in plant growth
and development. Previous studies uncovered EIN2 as an essential signal transducer
linking ethylene perception on ER to transcriptional regulation in the nucleus
through a “cleave and shuttle” model. In this study, we report another mechanism
of EIN2-mediated ethylene signaling, whereby EIN2 imposes the translational repression
of EBF1 and EBF2 mRNA. We find that the EBF1/2 3′ UTRs mediate EIN2-directed translational
repression and identify multiple poly-uridylates (PolyU) motifs as functional
cis elements of 3′ UTRs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ethylene induces EIN2
to associate with 3′ UTRs and target EBF1/2 mRNA to cytoplasmic processing-body
(P-body) through interacting with multiple P-body factors, including EIN5 and
PABs. Our study illustrates translational regulation as a key step in ethylene
signaling and presents mRNA 3′ UTR functioning as a “signal transducer” to sense
and relay cellular signaling in plants.

text: We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean- payoff
property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.
The algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute
the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph.
We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known that the control-flow
graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let n denote the number of nodes
of a graph, m the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs m = O ( n ) )
and W the largest absolute value of the weights. Our main theoretical results
are as follows. First, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that
approximates the mean-payoff value within a mul- tiplicative factor of ∊ in time
O ( n · log( n/∊ )) and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms
that require quadratic time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm
that for constant treewidth graphs works in time O ( n · log( | a · b · n | ))
= O ( n · log( n · W )) , when the output is a b , as compared to the previously
best known algorithm with running time O ( n 2 · log( n · W )) . Third, for the
minimum initial credit problem we show that (i) for general graphs the problem
can be solved in O ( n 2 · m ) time and the associated decision problem can be
solved in O ( n · m ) time, improving the previous known O ( n 3 · m · log( n
· W )) and O ( n 2 · m ) bounds, respectively; and (ii) for constant treewidth
graphs we present an algorithm that requires O ( n · log n ) time, improving the
previous known O ( n 4 · log( n · W )) bound. We have implemented some of our
algorithms and show that they present a significant speedup on standard benchmarks.

text: "We consider finite-state concurrent stochastic games, played by k>=2 players
for an infinite number of rounds, where in every round, each player simultaneously
and independently of the other players chooses an action, whereafter the successor
state is determined by a probability distribution given by the current state and
the chosen actions. We consider reachability objectives that given a target set
of states require that some state in the target set is visited, and the dual safety
objectives that given a target set require that only states in the target set
are visited. We are interested in the complexity of stationary strategies measured
by their patience, which is defined as the inverse of the smallest non-zero probability
employed.\r\n\r\n Our main results are as follows: We show that in two-player
zero-sum concurrent stochastic games (with reachability objective for one player
and the complementary safety objective for the other player): (i) the optimal
bound on the patience of optimal and epsilon-optimal strategies, for both players
is doubly exponential; and (ii) even in games with a single non-absorbing state
exponential (in the number of actions) patience is necessary. In general we study
the class of non-zero-sum games admitting epsilon-Nash equilibria. We show that
if there is at least one player with reachability objective, then doubly-exponential
patience is needed in general for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies, whereas
in contrast if all players have safety objectives, then the optimal bound on patience
for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies is only exponential."

text: "Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.The
replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. \r\nThe vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual of
the population. A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It
is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex)
generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population
of resident individuals. The basic computational questions are as follows: (i)
the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and
(ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation of the
fixation probability. \r\nOur main results are:\r\n(1) We show that the qualitative
question is NP-complete and the quantitative approximation question is #P-hard
in the special case when the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide and
even with the restriction that the resident individuals do not reproduce (which
corresponds to an invading population taking over an empty structure).\r\n(2)
We show that in general the qualitative question is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is PSPACE-hard and can be solved in exponential time.\r\n"

text: "We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean-payoff
property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.
\r\nThe algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to
compute the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node
of the graph. We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known
that the control-flow graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let $n$
denote the number of nodes of a graph, $m$ the number of edges (for constant treewidth
graphs $m=O(n)$) and $W$ the largest absolute value of the weights.\r\nOur main
theoretical results are as follows.\r\nFirst, for constant treewidth graphs we
present an algorithm that approximates the mean-payoff value within a multiplicative
factor of $\\epsilon$ in time $O(n \\cdot \\log (n/\\epsilon))$ and linear space,
as compared to the classical algorithms that require quadratic time. Second, for
the ratio property we present an algorithm that for constant treewidth graphs
works in time $O(n \\cdot \\log (|a\\cdot b|))=O(n\\cdot\\log (n\\cdot W))$, when
the output is $\\frac{a}{b}$, as compared to the previously best known algorithm
with running time $O(n^2 \\cdot \\log (n\\cdot W))$. Third, for the minimum initial
credit problem we show that (i)~for general graphs the problem can be solved in
$O(n^2\\cdot m)$ time and the associated decision problem can be solved in $O(n\\cdot
m)$ time, improving the previous known $O(n^3\\cdot m\\cdot \\log (n\\cdot W))$
and $O(n^2 \\cdot m)$ bounds, respectively; and (ii)~for constant treewidth graphs
we present an algorithm that requires $O(n\\cdot \\log n)$ time, improving the
previous known $O(n^4 \\cdot \\log (n \\cdot W))$ bound.\r\nWe have implemented
some of our algorithms and show that they present a significant speedup on standard
benchmarks. "

text: 'The target discounted-sum problem is the following: Given a rational discount
factor 0 < λ < 1 and three rational values a, b, and t, does there exist a finite
or an infinite sequence w ε(a, b)∗ or w ε(a, b)w, such that Σ|w| i=0 w(i)λi equals
t? The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer
science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve
the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version,
linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science:
β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations
of the Cantor set. We provide some partial results to the infinite version, among
which are solutions to its restriction to eventually-periodic sequences and to
the cases that λ λ 1/2 or λ = 1/n, for every n ε N. We use our results for solving
some open problems on discounted-sum automata, among which are the exact-value
problem for nondeterministic automata over finite words and the universality and
inclusion problems for functional automata. '

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom for payoff in the context
of evolution. The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction.
The vertices of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an
individual of the population. The fitness (or the reproductive rate) is a non-negative
number, and depends on the payoff. A key quantity is the fixation probability
of a new mutant. It is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant
(on a single vertex) generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over
the entire population of resident individuals. The basic computational questions
are as follows: (i) the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability
is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation
of the fixation probability. Our main results are as follows: First, we consider
a special case of the general problem, where the residents do not reproduce. We
show that the qualitative question is NP-complete, and the quantitative approximation
question is #P-complete, and the hardness results hold even in the special case
where the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide. Second, we show that
in general both the qualitative and the quantitative approximation questions are
PSPACE-complete. The PSPACE-hardness result for quantitative approximation holds
even when the fitness is always positive.'

text: We study algorithmic questions for concurrent systems where the transitions
are labeled from a complete, closed semiring, and path properties are algebraic
with semiring operations. The algebraic path properties can model dataflow analysis
problems, the shortest path problem, and many other natural problems that arise
in program analysis. We consider that each component of the concurrent system
is a graph with constant treewidth, a property satisfied by the controlflow graphs
of most programs. We allow for multiple possible queries, which arise naturally
in demand driven dataflow analysis. The study of multiple queries allows us to
consider the tradeoff between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing
and for each individual query. The traditional approach constructs the product
graph of all components and applies the best-known graph algorithm on the product.
In this approach, even the answer to a single query requires the transitive closure
(i.e., the results of all possible queries), which provides no room for tradeoff
between preprocessing and query time. Our main contributions are algorithms that
significantly improve the worst-case running time of the traditional approach,
and provide various tradeoffs depending on the number of queries. For example,
in a concurrent system of two components, the traditional approach requires hexic
time in the worst case for answering one query as well as computing the transitive
closure, whereas we show that with one-time preprocessing in almost cubic time,
each subsequent query can be answered in at most linear time, and even the transitive
closure can be computed in almost quartic time. Furthermore, we establish conditional
optimality results showing that the worst-case running time of our algorithms
cannot be improved without achieving major breakthroughs in graph algorithms (i.e.,
improving the worst-case bound for the shortest path problem in general graphs).
Preliminary experimental results show that our algorithms perform favorably on
several benchmarks.

text: POMDPs are standard models for probabilistic planning problems, where an agent
interacts with an uncertain environment. 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 EXPTIME-complete, 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.

text: A comprehensive understanding of the clonal evolution of cancer is critical
for understanding neoplasia. Genome-wide sequencing data enables evolutionary
studies at unprecedented depth. However, classical phylogenetic methods often
struggle with noisy sequencing data of impure DNA samples and fail to detect subclones
that have different evolutionary trajectories. We have developed a tool, called
Treeomics, that allows us to reconstruct the phylogeny of a cancer with commonly
available sequencing technologies. Using Bayesian inference and Integer Linear
Programming, robust phylogenies consistent with the biological processes underlying
cancer evolution were obtained for pancreatic, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
Furthermore, Treeomics correctly identified sequencing artifacts such as those
resulting from low statistical power; nearly 7% of variants were misclassified
by conventional statistical methods. These artifacts can skew phylogenies by creating
illusory tumor heterogeneity among distinct samples. Importantly, we show that
the evolutionary trees generated with Treeomics are mathematically optimal.

text: "We present a method and a tool for generating succinct representations of
sets of concurrent traces. We focus on trace sets that contain all correct or
all incorrect permutations of events from a given trace. We represent trace sets
as HB-Formulas that are Boolean combinations of happens-before constraints between
events. To generate a representation of incorrect interleavings, our method iteratively
explores interleavings that violate the specification and gathers generalizations
of the discovered interleavings into an HB-Formula; its complement yields a representation
of correct interleavings.\r\n\r\nWe claim that our trace set representations can
drive diverse verification, fault localization, repair, and synthesis techniques
for concurrent programs. We demonstrate this by using our tool in three case studies
involving synchronization synthesis, bug summarization, and abstraction refinement
based verification. In each case study, our initial experimental results have
been promising.\r\n\r\nIn the first case study, we present an algorithm for inferring
missing synchronization from an HB-Formula representing correct interleavings
of a given trace. The algorithm applies rules to rewrite specific patterns in
the HB-Formula into locks, barriers, and wait-notify constructs. In the second
case study, we use an HB-Formula representing incorrect interleavings for bug
summarization. While the HB-Formula itself is a concise counterexample summary,
we present additional inference rules to help identify specific concurrency bugs
such as data races, define-use order violations, and two-stage access bugs. In
the final case study, we present a novel predicate learning procedure that uses
HB-Formulas representing abstract counterexamples to accelerate counterexample-guided
abstraction refinement (CEGAR). In each iteration of the CEGAR loop, the procedure
refines the abstraction to eliminate multiple spurious abstract counterexamples
drawn from the HB-Formula."

text: 'The fitness effects of symbionts on their hosts can be context-dependent,
with usually benign symbionts causing detrimental effects when their hosts are
stressed, or typically parasitic symbionts providing protection towards their
hosts (e.g. against pathogen infection). Here, we studied the novel association
between the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus and its fungal ectosymbiont Laboulbenia
formicarum for potential costs and benefits. We tested ants with different Laboulbenia
levels for their survival and immunity under resource limitation and exposure
to the obligate killing entomopathogen Metarhizium brunneum. While survival of
L. neglectus workers under starvation was significantly decreased with increasing
Laboulbenia levels, host survival under Metarhizium exposure increased with higher
levels of the ectosymbiont, suggesting a symbiont-mediated anti-pathogen protection,
which seems to be driven mechanistically by both improved sanitary behaviours
and an upregulated immune system. Ants with high Laboulbenia levels showed significantly
longer self-grooming and elevated expression of immune genes relevant for wound
repair and antifungal responses (β-1,3-glucan binding protein, Prophenoloxidase),
compared with ants carrying low Laboulbenia levels. This suggests that the ectosymbiont
Laboulbenia formicarum weakens its ant host by either direct resource exploitation
or the costs of an upregulated behavioural and immunological response, which,
however, provides a prophylactic protection upon later exposure to pathogens. '

text: We prove that the three-state toric homogeneous Markov chain model has Markov
degree two. In algebraic terminology this means, that a certain class of toric
ideals is generated by quadratic binomials. This was conjectured by Haws, Martin
del Campo, Takemura and Yoshida, who proved that they are generated by degree
six binomials.

text: 'The monotone secant conjecture posits a rich class of polynomial systems,
all of whose solutions are real. These systems come from the Schubert calculus
on flag manifolds, and the monotone secant conjecture is a compelling generalization
of the Shapiro conjecture for Grassmannians (Theorem of Mukhin, Tarasov, and Varchenko).
We present some theoretical evidence for this conjecture, as well as computational
evidence obtained by 1.9 teraHertz-years of computing, and we discuss some of
the phenomena we observed in our data. '

text: The paper describes a generalized iterative proportional fitting procedure
that can be used for maximum likelihood estimation in a special class of the general
log-linear model. The models in this class, called relational, apply to multivariate
discrete sample spaces that do not necessarily have a Cartesian product structure
and may not contain an overall effect. When applied to the cell probabilities,
the models without the overall effect are curved exponential families and the
values of the sufficient statistics are reproduced by the MLE only up to a constant
of proportionality. The paper shows that Iterative Proportional Fitting, Generalized
Iterative Scaling, and Improved Iterative Scaling fail to work for such models.
The algorithm proposed here is based on iterated Bregman projections. As a by-product,
estimates of the multiplicative parameters are also obtained. An implementation
of the algorithm is available as an R-package.
acknowledgement: Part of the material presented here was contained in the PhD thesis
of the first author to which the second author and Thomas Richardson were advisers.

text: The concepts of faithfulness and strong-faithfulness are important for statistical
learning of graphical models. Graphs are not sufficient for describing the association
structure of a discrete distribution. Hypergraphs representing hierarchical log-linear
models are considered instead, and the concept of parametric (strong-) faithfulness
with respect to a hypergraph is introduced. Strong-faithfulness ensures the existence
of uniformly consistent parameter estimators and enables building uniformly consistent
procedures for a hypergraph search. The strength of association in a discrete
distribution can be quantified with various measures, leading to different concepts
of strong-faithfulness. Lower and upper bounds for the proportions of distributions
that do not satisfy strong-faithfulness are computed for different parameterizations
and measures of association.
