  text: 'Gene regulatory networks evolve through rewiring of individual components—that
    is, through changes in regulatory connections. However, the mechanistic basis
    of regulatory rewiring is poorly understood. Using a canonical gene regulatory
    system, we quantify the properties of transcription factors that determine the
    evolutionary potential for rewiring of regulatory connections: robustness, tunability
    and evolvability. In vivo repression measurements of two repressors at mutated
    operator sites reveal their contrasting evolutionary potential: while robustness
    and evolvability were positively correlated, both were in trade-off with tunability.
    Epistatic interactions between adjacent operators alleviated this trade-off. A
    thermodynamic model explains how the differences in robustness, tunability and
    evolvability arise from biophysical characteristics of repressor–DNA binding.
    The model also uncovers that the energy matrix, which describes how mutations
    affect repressor–DNA binding, encodes crucial information about the evolutionary
    potential of a repressor. The biophysical determinants of evolutionary potential
    for regulatory rewiring constitute a mechanistic framework for understanding network
    evolution.'

  text: Polar codes are a channel coding scheme for the next generation of wireless
    communications standard (5G). The belief propagation (BP) decoder allows for parallel
    decoding of polar codes, making it suitable for high throughput applications.
    However, the error-correction performance of polar codes under BP decoding is
    far from the requirements of 5G. It has been shown that the error-correction performance
    of BP can be improved if the decoding is performed on multiple permuted factor
    graphs of polar codes. However, a different BP decoding scheduling is required
    for each factor graph permutation which results in the design of a different decoder
    for each permutation. Moreover, the selection of the different factor graph permutations
    is at random, which prevents the decoder to achieve a desirable error correction
    performance with a small number of permutations. In this paper, we first show
    that the permutations on the factor graph can be mapped into suitable permutations
    on the codeword positions. As a result, we can make use of a single decoder for
    all the permutations. In addition, we introduce a method to construct a set of
    predetermined permutations which can provide the correct codeword if the decoding
    fails on the original permutation. We show that for the 5G polar code of length
    1024, the error-correction performance of the proposed decoder is more than 0.25
    dB better than that of the BP decoder with the same number of random permutations
    at the frame error rate of 10 -4 .

  text: "A central problem of algebraic topology is to understand the homotopy groups
    \ \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)  of a topological space X. For the computational
    version of the problem, it is well known that there is no algorithm to decide
    whether the fundamental group  \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B)  of a given finite simplicial
    complex X is trivial. On the other hand, there are several algorithms that, given
    a finite simplicial complex X that is simply connected (i.e., with   \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B)
    \ trivial), compute the higher homotopy group   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    \ for any given   \U0001D451≥2 . However, these algorithms come with a caveat:
    They compute the isomorphism type of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) ,   \U0001D451≥2
    \ as an abstract finitely generated abelian group given by generators and relations,
    but they work with very implicit representations of the elements of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    . Converting elements of this abstract group into explicit geometric maps from
    the d-dimensional sphere   \U0001D446\U0001D451  to X has been one of the main
    unsolved problems in the emerging field of computational homotopy theory. Here
    we present an algorithm that, given a simply connected space X, computes   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    \ and represents its elements as simplicial maps from a suitable triangulation
    of the d-sphere   \U0001D446\U0001D451  to X. For fixed d, the algorithm runs
    in time exponential in   size(\U0001D44B) , the number of simplices of X. Moreover,
    we prove that this is optimal: For every fixed   \U0001D451≥2 , we construct a
    family of simply connected spaces X such that for any simplicial map representing
    a generator of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) , the size of the triangulation
    of   \U0001D446\U0001D451  on which the map is defined, is exponential in size(\U0001D44B)

  text: The most common assumption made in statistical learning theory is the assumption
    of the independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data. While being very
    convenient mathematically, it is often very clearly violated in practice. This
    disparity between the machine learning theory and applications underlies a growing
    demand in the development of algorithms that learn from dependent data and theory
    that can provide generalization guarantees similar to the independent situations.
    This thesis is dedicated to two variants of dependencies that can arise in practice.
    One is a dependence on the level of samples in a single learning task. Another
    dependency type arises in the multi-task setting when the tasks are dependent
    on each other even though the data for them can be i.i.d. In both cases we model
    the data (samples or tasks) as stochastic processes and introduce new algorithms
    for both settings that take into account and exploit the resulting dependencies.
    We prove the theoretical guarantees on the performance of the introduced algorithms
    under different evaluation criteria and, in addition, we compliment the theoretical
    study by the empirical one, where we evaluate some of the algorithms on two real
    world datasets to highlight their practical applicability.

  text: 'A qubit, a unit of quantum information, is essentially any quantum mechanical
    two-level system which can be coherently controlled. Still, to be used for computation,
    it has to fulfill criteria. Qubits, regardless of the system in which they are
    realized, suffer from decoherence. This leads to loss of the information stored
    in the qubit. The upper bound of the time scale on which decoherence happens is
    set by the spin relaxation time. In this thesis I studied a two-level system consisting
    of a Zeeman-split hole spin confined in a quantum dot formed in a Ge hut wire.
    Such Ge hut wires have emerged as a promising material system for the realization
    of spin qubits, due to the combination of two significant properties: long spin
    coherence time as expected for group IV semiconductors due to the low hyperfine
    interaction and a strong valence band spin-orbit coupling. Here, I present how
    to fabricate quantum dot devices suitable for electrical transport measurements.
    Coupled quantum dot devices allowed the realization of a charge sensor, which
    is electrostatically and tunnel coupled to a quantum dot. By integrating the charge
    sensor into a radio-frequency reflectometry setup, I performed for the first time
    single-shot readout measurements of hole spins and extracted the hole spin relaxation
    times in Ge hut wires.'

  text: We consider spectral properties and the edge universality of sparse random
    matrices, the class of random matrices that includes the adjacency matrices of
    the Erdős–Rényi graph model G(N, p). We prove a local law for the eigenvalue density
    up to the spectral edges. Under a suitable condition on the sparsity, we also
    prove that the rescaled extremal eigenvalues exhibit GOE Tracy–Widom fluctuations
    if a deterministic shift of the spectral edge due to the sparsity is included.
    For the adjacency matrix of the Erdős–Rényi graph this establishes the Tracy–Widom
    fluctuations of the second largest eigenvalue when p is much larger than N−2/3
    with a deterministic shift of order (Np)−1.

  text: "Background: Transport protein particle (TRAPP) is a multisubunit complex
    that regulates membrane trafficking through the Golgi apparatus. The clinical
    phenotype associated with mutations in various TRAPP subunits has allowed elucidation
    of their functions in specific tissues. The role of some subunits in human disease,
    however, has not been fully established, and their functions remain uncertain.\r\n\r\nObjective:
    We aimed to expand the range of neurodevelopmental disorders associated with mutations
    in TRAPP subunits by exome sequencing of consanguineous families.\r\n\r\nMethods:
    Linkage and homozygosity mapping and candidate gene analysis were used to identify
    homozygous mutations in families. Patient fibroblasts were used to study splicing
    defect and zebrafish to model the disease.\r\n\r\nResults: We identified six individuals
    from three unrelated families with a founder homozygous splice mutation in TRAPPC6B,
    encoding a core subunit of the complex TRAPP I. Patients manifested a neurodevelopmental
    disorder characterised by microcephaly, epilepsy and autistic features, and showed
    splicing defect. Zebrafish trappc6b morphants replicated the human phenotype,
    displaying decreased head size and neuronal hyperexcitability, leading to a lower
    seizure threshold.\r\n\r\nConclusion: This study provides clinical and functional
    evidence of the role of TRAPPC6B in brain development and function."

  text: "Bitcoin has become the most successful cryptocurrency ever deployed, and
    its most distinctive feature is that it is decentralized. Its underlying protocol
    (Nakamoto consensus) achieves this by using proof of work, which has the drawback
    that it causes the consumption of vast amounts of energy to maintain the ledger.
    Moreover, Bitcoin mining dynamics have become less distributed over time.\r\n\r\nTowards
    addressing these issues, we propose SpaceMint, a cryptocurrency based on proofs
    of space instead of proofs of work. Miners in SpaceMint dedicate disk space rather
    than computation. We argue that SpaceMint’s design solves or alleviates several
    of Bitcoin’s issues: most notably, its large energy consumption. SpaceMint also
    rewards smaller miners fairly according to their contribution to the network,
    thus incentivizing more distributed participation.\r\n\r\nThis paper adapts proof
    of space to enable its use in cryptocurrency, studies the attacks that can arise
    against a Bitcoin-like blockchain that uses proof of space, and proposes a new
    blockchain format and transaction types to address these attacks. Our prototype
    shows that initializing 1 TB for mining takes about a day (a one-off setup cost),
    and miners spend on average just a fraction of a second per block mined. Finally,
    we provide a game-theoretic analysis modeling SpaceMint as an extensive game (the
    canonical game-theoretic notion for games that take place over time) and show
    that this stylized game satisfies a strong equilibrium notion, thereby arguing
    for SpaceMint ’s stability and consensus."

  text: Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including
    the need to ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously
    limiting disease transmission. Social animals could potentially further reduce
    epidemic risk by altering their social networks in the presence of pathogens,
    yet there is currently no evidence for such pathogen-triggered responses. We tested
    this hypothesis experimentally in the ant Lasius niger using a combination of
    automated tracking, controlled pathogen exposure, transmission quantification,
    and temporally explicit simulations. Pathogen exposure induced behavioral changes
    in both exposed ants and their nestmates, which helped contain the disease by
    reinforcing key transmission-inhibitory properties of the colony's contact network.
    This suggests that social network plasticity in response to pathogens is an effective
    strategy for mitigating the effects of disease in social groups.

  text: We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in a critical
    scaling parametrized by a≥0, which creates a shock in the particle density of
    order aT−1/3, T the observation time. When starting from step initial data, we
    provide bounds on the limiting law which in particular imply that in the double
    limit lima→∞limT→∞ one recovers the product limit law and the degeneration of
    the correlation length observed at shocks of order 1. This result is shown to
    apply to a general last-passage percolation model. We also obtain bounds on the
    two-point functions of several airy processes.

  text: We consider the NP-hard problem of MAP-inference for undirected discrete graphical
    models. We propose a polynomial time and practically efficient algorithm for finding
    a part of its optimal solution. Specifically, our algorithm marks some labels
    of the considered graphical model either as (i) optimal, meaning that they belong
    to all optimal solutions of the inference problem; (ii) non-optimal if they provably
    do not belong to any solution. With access to an exact solver of a linear programming
    relaxation to the MAP-inference problem, our algorithm marks the maximal possible
    (in a specified sense) number of labels. We also present a version of the algorithm,
    which has access to a suboptimal dual solver only and still can ensure the (non-)optimality
    for the marked labels, although the overall number of the marked labels may decrease.
    We propose an efficient implementation, which runs in time comparable to a single
    run of a suboptimal dual solver. Our method is well-scalable and shows state-of-the-art
    results on computational benchmarks from machine learning and computer vision.

  text: Although dopamine receptors D1 and D2 play key roles in hippocampal function,
    their synaptic localization within the hippocampus has not been fully elucidated.
    In order to understand precise functions of pre- or postsynaptic dopamine receptors
    (DRs), the development of protocols to differentiate pre- and postsynaptic DRs
    is essential. So far, most studies on determination and quantification of DRs
    did not discriminate between subsynaptic localization. Therefore, the aim of the
    study was to generate a robust workflow for the localization of DRs. This work
    provides the basis for future work on hippocampal DRs, in light that DRs may have
    different functions at pre- or postsynaptic sites. Synaptosomes from rat hippocampi
    isolated by a sucrose gradient protocol were prepared for super-resolution direct
    stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) using Bassoon as a presynaptic
    zone and Homer1 as postsynaptic density marker. Direct labeling of primary validated
    antibodies against dopamine receptors D1 (D1R) and D2 (D2R) with Alexa Fluor 594
    enabled unequivocal assignment of D1R and D2R to both, pre- and postsynaptic sites.
    D1R immunoreactivity clusters were observed within the presynaptic active zone
    as well as at perisynaptic sites at the edge of the presynaptic active zone. The
    results may be useful for the interpretation of previous studies and the design
    of future work on DRs in the hippocampus. Moreover, the reduction of the complexity
    of brain tissue by the use of synaptosomal preparations and dSTORM technology
    may represent a useful tool for synaptic localization of brain proteins.

  text: We examine recent magnetic torque measurements in two compounds, γ−Li2IrO3
    and RuCl3, which have been discussed as possible realizations of the Kitaev model.
    The analysis of the reported discontinuity in torque, as an external magnetic
    field is rotated across the c axis in both crystals, suggests that they have a
    translationally invariant chiral spin order of the form ⟨Si⋅(Sj×Sk)⟩≠0 in the
    ground state and persisting over a very wide range of magnetic field and temperature.
    An extraordinary |B|B2 dependence of the torque for small fields, beside the usual
    B2 part, is predicted by the chiral spin order. Data for small fields are available
    for γ−Li2IrO3 and are found to be consistent with the prediction upon further
    analysis. Other experiments such as inelastic scattering and thermal Hall effect
    and several questions raised by the discovery of chiral spin order, including
    its topological consequences, are discussed.

  text: Unusual behavior in quantum materials commonly arises from their effective
    low-dimensional physics, reflecting the underlying anisotropy in the spin and
    charge degrees of freedom. Here we introduce the magnetotropic coefficient k = ∂2F/∂θ2,
    the second derivative of the free energy F with respect to the magnetic field
    orientation θ in the crystal. We show that the magnetotropic coefficient can be
    quantitatively determined from a shift in the resonant frequency of a commercially
    available atomic force microscopy cantilever under magnetic field. This detection
    method enables part per 100 million sensitivity and the ability to measure magnetic
    anisotropy in nanogram-scale samples, as demonstrated on the Weyl semimetal NbP.
    Measurement of the magnetotropic coefficient in the spin-liquid candidate RuCl3
    highlights its sensitivity to anisotropic phase transitions and allows a quantitative
    comparison to other thermodynamic coefficients via the Ehrenfest relations.

  text: The anomalous metallic state in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates
    is masked by superconductivity near a quantum critical point. Applying high magnetic
    fields to suppress superconductivity has enabled detailed studies of the normal
    state, yet the direct effect of strong magnetic fields on the metallic state is
    poorly understood. We report the high-field magnetoresistance of thin-film La2–xSrxCuO4
    cuprate in the vicinity of the critical doping, 0.161 ≤ p ≤ 0.190. We find that
    the metallic state exposed by suppressing superconductivity is characterized by
    magnetoresistance that is linear in magnetic fields up to 80 tesla. The magnitude
    of the linear-in-field resistivity mirrors the magnitude and doping evolution
    of the well-known linear-in-temperature resistivity that has been associated with
    quantum criticality in high-temperature superconductors.

    challenging. Here we use magnetic fields up to 95 T to drive the Weyl semimetal
    TaAs far into its quantum limit, where only the purely chiral 0th Landau levels
    of the Weyl fermions are occupied. We find the electrical resistivity to be nearly
    independent of magnetic field up to 50 T: unusual for conventional metals but
    consistent with the chiral anomaly for Weyl fermions. Above 50 T we observe a
    two-order-of-magnitude increase in resistivity, indicating that a gap opens in
    the chiral Landau levels. Above 80 T we observe strong ultrasonic attenuation
    below 2 K, suggesting a mesoscopically textured state of matter. These results
    point the way to inducing new correlated states of matter in the quantum limit
    of Weyl semimetals.'

  text: The high-pressure synthesis and incommensurately modulated structure are reported
    for the new compound Sr2Pt8−xAs, with x = 0.715 (5). The structure consists of
    Sr2Pt3As layers alternating with Pt-only corrugated grids. Ab initio calculations
    predict a metallic character with a dominant role of the Pt d electrons. The electrical
    resistivity (ρ) and Seebeck coefficient confirm the metallic character, but surprisingly,
    ρ showed a near-flat temperature dependence. This observation fits the description
    of the Mooij correlation for electrical resistivity in disordered metals, originally
    developed for statistically distributed point defects. The discussed material
    has a long-range crystallographic order, but the high concentration of Pt vacancies,
    incommensurately ordered, strongly influences the electronic conduction properties.
    This result extends the range of validity of the Mooij correlation to long-range
    ordered incommensurately modulated vacancies. Motivated by the layered structure,
    the resistivity anisotropy was measured in a focused-ion-beam micro-fabricated
    well oriented single crystal. A low resistivity anisotropy indicates that the
    layers are electrically coupled and conduction channels along different directions
    are intermixed.

  text: 'Training deep learning models has received tremendous research interest recently.
    In particular, there has been intensive research on reducing the communication
    cost of training when using multiple computational devices, through reducing the
    precision of the underlying data representation. Naturally, such methods induce
    system trade-offs—lowering communication precision could de-crease communication
    overheads and improve scalability; but, on the other hand, it can also reduce
    the accuracy of training. In this paper, we study this trade-off space, and ask:Can
    low-precision communication consistently improve the end-to-end performance of
    training modern neural networks, with no accuracy loss?From the performance point
    of view, the answer to this question may appear deceptively easy: compressing
    communication through low precision should help when the ratio between communication
    and computation is high. However, this answer is less straightforward when we
    try to generalize this principle across various neural network architectures (e.g.,
    AlexNet vs. ResNet),number of GPUs (e.g., 2 vs. 8 GPUs), machine configurations(e.g.,
    EC2 instances vs. NVIDIA DGX-1), communication primitives (e.g., MPI vs. NCCL),
    and even different GPU architectures(e.g., Kepler vs. Pascal). Currently, it is
    not clear how a realistic realization of all these factors maps to the speed up
    provided by low-precision communication. In this paper, we conduct an empirical
    study to answer this question and report the insights.'

  text: "Population protocols are a popular model of distributed computing, in which
    n agents with limited local state interact randomly, and cooperate to collectively
    compute global predicates. Inspired by recent developments in DNA programming,
    an extensive series of papers, across different communities, has examined the
    computability and complexity characteristics of this model. Majority, or consensus,
    is a central task in this model, in which agents need to collectively reach a
    decision as to which one of two states A or B had a higher initial count. Two
    metrics are important: the time that a protocol requires to stabilize to an output
    decision, and the state space size that each agent requires to do so. It is known
    that majority requires Ω(log log n) states per agent to allow for fast (poly-logarithmic
    time) stabilization, and that O(log2 n) states are sufficient. Thus, there is
    an exponential gap between the space upper and lower bounds for this problem.
    This paper addresses this question.\r\n\r\nOn the negative side, we provide a
    new lower bound of Ω(log n) states for any protocol which stabilizes in O(n1–c)
    expected time, for any constant c > 0. This result is conditional on monotonicity
    and output assumptions, satisfied by all known protocols. Technically, it represents
    a departure from previous lower bounds, in that it does not rely on the existence
    of dense configurations. Instead, we introduce a new generalized surgery technique
    to prove the existence of incorrect executions for any algorithm which would contradict
    the lower bound. Subsequently, our lower bound also applies to general initial
    configurations, including ones with a leader. On the positive side, we give a
    new algorithm for majority which uses O(log n) states, and stabilizes in O(log2
    n) expected time. Central to the algorithm is a new leaderless phase clock technique,
    which allows agents to synchronize in phases of Θ(n log n) consecutive interactions
    using O(log n) states per agent, exploiting a new connection between population
    protocols and power-of-two-choices load balancing mechanisms. We also employ our
    phase clock to build a leader election algorithm with a state space of size O(log
    n), which stabilizes in O(log2 n) expected time."
