  text: We present the detailed analysis of a new two-pulse orientation scheme that
    achieves macroscopic field-free orientation at the high particle densities required
    for attosecond and high-harmonic spectroscopies (Kraus et al 2013 arXiv:1311.3923).
    Carbon monoxide molecules are oriented by combining one-colour and delayed two-colour
    non-resonant femtosecond laser pulses. High-harmonic generation is used to probe
    the oriented wave-packet dynamics and reveals that a very high degree of orientation
    (Nup/Ntotal = 0.73–0.82) is achieved. We further extend this approach to orienting
    carbonyl sulphide molecules. We show that the present two-pulse scheme selectively
    enhances orientation created by the hyperpolarizability interaction whereas the
    ionization-depletion mechanism plays no role. We further control and optimize
    orientation through the delay between the one- and two-colour pump pulses. Finally,
    we demonstrate a complementary encoding of electronic-structure features, such
    as shape resonances, in the even- and odd-harmonic spectrum. The achieved progress
    makes two-pulse field-free orientation an attractive tool for a broad class of
    time-resolved measurements.

  text: A variety of developmental and disease related processes depend on epithelial
    cell sheet spreading. In order to gain insight into the biophysical mechanism(s)
    underlying the tissue morphogenesis we studied the spreading of an epithelium
    during the early development of the zebrafish embryo. In zebrafish epiboly the
    enveloping cell layer (EVL), a simple squamous epithelium, spreads over the yolk
    cell to completely engulf it at the end of gastrulation. Previous studies have
    proposed that an actomyosin ring forming within the yolk syncytial layer (YSL)
    acts as purse string that through constriction along its circumference pulls on
    the margin of the EVL. Direct biophysical evidence for this hypothesis has however
    been missing. The aim of the thesis was to understand how the actomyosin ring
    may generate pulling forces onto the EVL and what cellular mechanism(s) may facilitate
    the spreading of the epithelium. Using laser ablation to measure cortical tension
    within the actomyosin ring we found an anisotropic tension distribution, which
    was highest along the circumference of the ring. However the low degree of anisotropy
    was incompatible with the actomyosin ring functioning as a purse string only.
    Additionally, we observed retrograde cortical flow from vegetal parts of the ring
    into the EVL margin. Interpreting the experimental data using a theoretical distribution
    that models  the tissues as active viscous gels led us to proposen that the actomyosin
    ring has a twofold contribution to EVL epiboly. It not only acts as a purse string
    through constriction along its circumference, but in addition constriction along
    the width of the ring generates pulling forces through friction-resisted cortical
    flow. Moreover, when rendering the purse string mechanism unproductive EVL epiboly
    proceeded normally indicating that the flow-friction mechanism is sufficient to
    drive the process. Aiming to understand what cellular mechanism(s) may facilitate
    the spreading of the epithelium we found that tension-oriented EVL cell divisions
    limit tissue anisotropy by releasing tension along the division axis and promote
    epithelial spreading. Notably, EVL cells undergo ectopic cell fusion in conditions
    in which oriented-cell division is impaired or the epithelium is mechanically
    challenged. Taken together our study of EVL epiboly suggests a novel mechanism
    of force generation for actomyosin rings through friction-resisted cortical flow
    and highlights the importance of tension-oriented cell divisions in epithelial
    morphogenesis.

  text: "The co-evolution of hosts and pathogens is characterized by continuous adaptations
    of both parties. Pathogens of social insects need to adapt towards disease defences
    at two levels: 1) individual immunity of each colony member consisting of behavioural
    defence strategies as well as humoral and cellular immune responses and 2) social
    immunity that is collectively performed by all group members comprising behavioural,
    physiological and organisational defence strategies.\r\n\r\nTo disentangle the
    selection pressure on pathogens by the collective versus individual level of disease
    defence in social insects, we performed an evolution experiment using the Argentine
    Ant, Linepithema humile, as a host and a mixture of the general insect pathogenic
    fungus Metarhizium spp. (6 strains) as a pathogen. We allowed pathogen evolution
    over 10 serial host passages to two different evolution host treatments: (1) only
    individual host immunity in a single host treatment, and (2) simultaneously acting
    individual and social immunity in a social host treatment, in which an exposed
    ant was accompanied by two untreated nestmates.\r\n\r\nBefore starting the pathogen
    evolution experiment, the 6 Metarhizium spp. strains were characterised concerning
    conidiospore size killing rates in singly and socially reared ants, their competitiveness
    under coinfecting conditions and their influence on ant behaviour. We analysed
    how the ancestral atrain mixture changed in conidiospere size, killing rate and
    strain composition dependent on host treatment (single or social hosts) during
    10 passages and found that killing rate and conidiospere size of the pathogen
    increased under both evolution regimes, but different depending on host treatment.\r\n\r\nTesting
    the evolved strain mixtures that evolved under either the single or social host
    treatment under both single and social current rearing conditions in a full factorial
    design experiment revealed that the additional collective defences in insect societies
    add new selection pressure for their coevolving pathogens that compromise their
    ability to adapt to its host at the group level. To our knowledge, this is the
    first study directly measuring the influence of social immunity on pathogen evolution."

  text: DNA has become a prime material for assembling complex three-dimensional objects
    that promise utility in various areas of application. However, achieving user-defined
    goals with DNA objects has been hampered by the difficulty to prepare them at
    arbitrary concentrations and in user-defined solution conditions. Here, we describe
    a method that solves this problem. The method is based on poly(ethylene glycol)-induced
    depletion of species with high molecular weight. We demonstrate that our method
    is applicable to a wide spectrum of DNA shapes and that it achieves excellent
    recovery yields of target objects up to 97 %, while providing efficient separation
    from non-integrated DNA strands. DNA objects may be prepared at concentrations
    up to the limit of solubility, including the possibility for bringing DNA objects
    into a solid phase. Due to the fidelity and simplicity of our method we anticipate
    that it will help to catalyze the development of new types of applications that
    use self-assembled DNA objects.

  text: "Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and
    hardware testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level
    specifications. Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components
    and, due to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort
    and cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system
    specifications can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover,
    inferring properties about the system from testing its individual components allows
    the designer to reduce the amount of integration testing.\r\nIn this paper, we
    study compositional properties of the IOCO-testing theory. We propose a new approach
    to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
    theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
    and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
    the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
    infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
    We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
    effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
    on asynchronous models and the IOCO conformance relation, the resulting methodology
    can be applied to a broader class of systems."

  text: 'Recently there has been a significant effort to add quantitative properties
    in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
    infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
    properties, perhaps surprisingly, several basic system properties such as average
    response time cannot be expressed with weighted automata. In this work, we introduce
    nested weighted automata as a new formalism for expressing important quantitative
    properties such as average response time. We establish an almost complete decidability
    picture for the basic decision problems for nested weighted automata, and illustrate
    its applicability in several domains.  '

  text: As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated by
    quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
    a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
    The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
    the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
    (or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
    of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
    are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
    in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
    (discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
    inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold.
    First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can
    be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications of the
    model-measuring problem.

  text: "We define the model-measuring problem: given a model M and specification
    φ, what is the maximal distance ρ such that all models M'within distance ρ from
    M satisfy (or violate)φ. The model measuring problem presupposes a distance function
    on models. We concentrate on automatic distance functions, which are defined by
    weighted automata.\r\nThe model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations
    of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking
    problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification, and robustness
    problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the
    specification.\r\nWe show that for automatic distance functions, and ω-regular
    linear-time and branching-time specifications, the model-measuring problem can
    be solved.\r\nWe use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring,
    replacing the emptiness question for standard word and tree automata by the optimal-weight
    question for the weighted versions of these automata. We consider weighted automata
    that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging.
    \r\nWe give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various
    notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications."

  text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
    While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
    and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability
    result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a
    coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial
    but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in
    the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
    for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
    2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
    1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
    for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
    objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic
    games for which we derive new complexity results.

  text: "We consider the reachability and shortest path problems on low tree-width
    graphs, with n nodes, m edges, and tree-width t, on a standard RAM with wordsize
    W. We use O to hide polynomial factors of the inverse of the Ackermann function.
    Our main contributions are three fold:\r\n1. For reachability, we present an algorithm
    that requires O(n·t2·log(n/t)) preprocessing time, O(n·(t·log(n/t))/W) space,
    and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries.
    Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing;
    and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath
    first search (after the preprocessing).\r\n2. We present an algorithm for shortest
    path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for
    pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries.\r\n3. We give a space versus
    query time trade-off algorithm for shortest path that, given any constant >0,
    requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t2) space, and O(n1−·t2) time for pair
    queries.\r\nOur algorithms improve all existing results, and use very simple data
    structures."

  text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
    (player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
    is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
    average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
    can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
    of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,

    algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
    is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
    an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
    (where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
    and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

  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. The vertices
    of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual.
    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: (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). (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.'

  text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
    on-line scheduling algorithms for firm- deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
    graphs: Given a taskset and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
    transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
    constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
    of the algorithm w.r.t. a clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
    and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
    algorithms, including D(over), that have been proposed in the past, for various
    tasksets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
    optimal, in the sense that there are tasksets where other schedulers provide better
    performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting optimal
    algorithms for a given application. '

  text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
    are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
    in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
    in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
    study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
    asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
    with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
    parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
    finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
    in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
    We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
    used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
    applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
    analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

  text: ' We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with
    a set of target states and every transition is associated with an integer cost.
    The optimization objective we study asks to minimize the expected total cost till
    the target set is reached, while ensuring that the target set is reached almost-surely
    (with probability 1). We show that for 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 and the bound is double exponential;
    (ii) we show that the problem of approximating the optimal cost is decidable and
    present approximation algorithms developing on the existing algorithms for POMDPs
    with finite-horizon objectives. While the worst-case running time of our algorithm
    is double exponential, we also present efficient stopping criteria for the algorithm
    and show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest.'
