text: "Smart contracts are programs that are stored and executed on the Blockchain
and can receive, manage and transfer money (cryptocurrency units). Two important
problems regarding smart contracts are formal analysis and compiler optimization.
Formal analysis is extremely important, because smart contracts hold funds worth
billions of dollars and their code is immutable after deployment. Hence, an undetected
bug can cause significant financial losses. Compiler optimization is also crucial,
because every action of a smart contract has to be executed by every node in the
Blockchain network. Therefore, optimizations in compiling smart contracts can
lead to significant savings in computation, time and energy.\r\n\r\nTwo classical
approaches in program analysis and compiler optimization are intraprocedural and
interprocedural analysis. In intraprocedural analysis, each function is analyzed
separately, while interprocedural analysis considers the entire program. In both
cases, the analyses are usually reduced to graph problems over the control flow
graph (CFG) of the program. These graph problems are often computationally expensive.
Hence, there has been ample research on exploiting structural properties of CFGs
for efficient algorithms. One such well-studied property is the treewidth, which
is a measure of tree-likeness of graphs. It is known that intraprocedural CFGs
of structured programs have treewidth at most 6, whereas the interprocedural treewidth
cannot be bounded. This result has been used as a basis for many efficient intraprocedural
analyses.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we explore the idea of exploiting the treewidth
of smart contracts for formal analysis and compiler optimization. First, similar
to classical programs, we show that the intraprocedural treewidth of structured
Solidity and Vyper smart contracts is at most 9. Second, for global analysis,
we prove that the interprocedural treewidth of structured smart contracts is bounded
by 10 and, in sharp contrast with classical programs, treewidth-based algorithms
can be easily applied for interprocedural analysis. Finally, we supplement our
theoretical results with experiments using a tool we implemented for computing
treewidth of smart contracts and show that the treewidth is much lower in practice.
We use 36,764 real-world Ethereum smart contracts as benchmarks and find that
they have an average treewidth of at most 3.35 for the intraprocedural case and
3.65 for the interprocedural case.\r\n"

text: "Interprocedural analysis is at the heart of numerous applications in programming
languages, such as alias analysis, constant propagation, and so on. Recursive
state machines (RSMs) are standard models for interprocedural analysis. We consider
a general framework with RSMs where the transitions are labeled from a semiring
and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations. RSMs with algebraic
path properties can model interprocedural dataflow analysis problems, the shortest
path problem, the most probable path problem, and so on. The traditional algorithms
for interprocedural analysis focus on path properties where the starting point
is fixed as the entry point of a specific method. In this work, we consider possible
multiple queries as required in many applications such as in alias analysis. The
study of multiple queries allows us to bring in an important algorithmic distinction
between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing vs for each individual
query. The second aspect we consider is that the control flow graphs for most
programs have constant treewidth.\r\n\r\nOur main contributions are simple and
implementable algorithms that support multiple queries for algebraic path properties
for RSMs that have constant treewidth. Our theoretical results show that our algorithms
have small additional one-time preprocessing but can answer subsequent queries
significantly faster as compared to the current algorithmic solutions for interprocedural
dataflow analysis. We have also implemented our algorithms and evaluated their
performance for performing on-demand interprocedural dataflow analysis on various
domains, such as for live variable analysis and reaching definitions, on a standard
benchmark set. Our experimental results align with our theoretical statements
and show that after a lightweight preprocessing, on-demand queries are answered
much faster than the standard existing algorithmic approaches.\r\n"

text: "We study the problem of developing efficient approaches for proving\r\nworst-case
bounds of non-deterministic recursive programs. Ranking functions\r\nare sound
and complete for proving termination and worst-case bounds of\r\nnonrecursive
programs. First, we apply ranking functions to recursion,\r\nresulting in measure
functions. We show that measure functions provide a sound\r\nand complete approach
to prove worst-case bounds of non-deterministic recursive\r\nprograms. Our second
contribution is the synthesis of measure functions in\r\nnonpolynomial forms.
We show that non-polynomial measure functions with\r\nlogarithm and exponentiation
can be synthesized through abstraction of\r\nlogarithmic or exponentiation terms,
Farkas' Lemma, and Handelman's Theorem\r\nusing linear programming. While previous
methods obtain worst-case polynomial\r\nbounds, our approach can synthesize bounds
of the form $\\mathcal{O}(n\\log n)$\r\nas well as $\\mathcal{O}(n^r)$ where $r$
is not an integer. We present\r\nexperimental results to demonstrate that our
approach can obtain efficiently\r\nworst-case bounds of classical recursive algorithms
such as (i) Merge-Sort, the\r\ndivide-and-conquer algorithm for the Closest-Pair
problem, where we obtain\r\n$\\mathcal{O}(n \\log n)$ worst-case bound, and (ii)
Karatsuba's algorithm for\r\npolynomial multiplication and Strassen's algorithm
for matrix multiplication,\r\nwhere we obtain $\\mathcal{O}(n^r)$ bound such that
$r$ is not an integer and\r\nclose to the best-known bounds for the respective
algorithms."

text: Based on a novel control scheme, where a steady modification of the streamwise
velocity profile leads to complete relaminarization of initially fully turbulent
pipe flow, we investigate the applicability and usefulness of custom-shaped honeycombs
for such control. The custom-shaped honeycombs are used as stationary flow management
devices which generate specific modifications of the streamwise velocity profile.
Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and pressure drop measurements are used
to investigate and capture the development of the relaminarizing flow downstream
these devices. We compare the performance of straight (constant length across
the radius of the pipe) honeycombs with custom-shaped ones (variable length across
the radius) and try to determine the optimal shape for maximal relaminarization
at minimal pressure loss. The optimally modified streamwise velocity profile is
found to be M-shaped, and the maximum attainable Reynolds number for total relaminarization
is found to be of the order of 10,000. Consequently, the respective reduction
in skin friction downstream of the device is almost by a factor of 5. The break-even
point, where the additional pressure drop caused by the device is balanced by
the savings due to relaminarization and a net gain is obtained, corresponds to
a downstream stretch of distances as low as approximately 100 pipe diameters of
laminar flow.

Our study confirms thata flat velocity profile leads to a collapse of turbulence and in order to achieve theblunted profile shape, we employ a moving pipe segment that is briefly and rapidlyshifted in the streamwise direction. The relaminarisation threshold and the minimumshift length and speeds are determined as a function of Reynolds number. Althoughturbulence is still active after the acceleration phase, the modulated profile possessesa severely decreased lift-up potential as measured by transient growth. As shown,this results in an exponential decay of fluctuations and the flow relaminarises. Whilethis method can be easily applied at low to moderate flow speeds, the minimumstreamwise length over which the acceleration needs to act increases linearly with theReynolds number.

text: Polar auxin transport plays a pivotal role in plant growth and development.
PIN auxin efflux carriers regulate directional auxin movement by establishing
local auxin maxima, minima, and gradients that drive multiple developmental processes
and responses to environmental signals. Auxin has been proposed to modulate its
own transport by regulating subcellular PIN trafficking via processes such as
clathrin-mediated PIN endocytosis and constitutive recycling. Here, we further
investigated the mechanisms by which auxin affects PIN trafficking by screening
auxin analogs and identified pinstatic acid (PISA) as a positive modulator of
polar auxin transport in Arabidopsis thaliana. PISA had an auxin-like effect on
hypocotyl elongation and adventitious root formation via positive regulation of
auxin transport. PISA did not activate SCFTIR1/AFB signaling and yet induced PIN
accumulation at the cell surface by inhibiting PIN internalization from the plasma
membrane. This work demonstrates PISA to be a promising chemical tool to dissect
the regulatory mechanisms behind subcellular PIN trafficking and auxin transport.

text: Segregation of maternal determinants within the oocyte constitutes the first
step in embryo patterning. In zebrafish oocytes, extensive ooplasmic streaming
leads to the segregation of ooplasm from yolk granules along the animal-vegetal
axis of the oocyte. Here, we show that this process does not rely on cortical
actin reorganization, as previously thought, but instead on a cell-cycle-dependent
bulk actin polymerization wave traveling from the animal to the vegetal pole of
the oocyte. This wave functions in segregation by both pulling ooplasm animally
and pushing yolk granules vegetally. Using biophysical experimentation and theory,
we show that ooplasm pulling is mediated by bulk actin network flows exerting
friction forces on the ooplasm, while yolk granule pushing is achieved by a mechanism
closely resembling actin comet formation on yolk granules. Our study defines a
novel role of cell-cycle-controlled bulk actin polymerization waves in oocyte
polarization via ooplasmic segregation.

text: "While cells of mesenchymal or epithelial origin perform their effector functions
in a purely anchorage dependent manner, cells derived from the hematopoietic lineage
are not committed to operate only within a specific niche. Instead, these cells
are able to function autonomously of the molecular composition in a broad range
of tissue compartments. By this means, cells of the hematopoietic lineage retain
the capacity to disseminate into connective tissue and recirculate between organs,
building the foundation for essential processes such as tissue regeneration or
immune surveillance. \r\nCells of the immune system, specifically leukocytes,
are extraordinarily good at performing this task. These cells are able to flexibly
shift their mode of migration between an adhesion-mediated and an adhesion-independent
manner, instantaneously accommodating for any changes in molecular composition
of the external scaffold. The key component driving directed leukocyte migration
is the chemokine receptor 7, which guides the cell along gradients of chemokine
ligand. Therefore, the physical destination of migrating leukocytes is purely
deterministic, i.e. given by global directional cues such as chemokine gradients.
\r\nNevertheless, these cells typically reside in three-dimensional scaffolds
of inhomogeneous complexity, raising the question whether cells are able to locally
discriminate between multiple optional migration routes. Current literature provides
evidence that leukocytes, specifically dendritic cells, do indeed probe their
surrounding by virtue of multiple explorative protrusions. However, it remains
enigmatic how these cells decide which one is the more favorable route to follow
and what are the key players involved in performing this task. Due to the heterogeneous
environment of most tissues, and the vast adaptability of migrating leukocytes,
at this time it is not clear to what extent leukocytes are able to optimize their
migratory strategy by adapting their level of adhesiveness. And, given the fact
that leukocyte migration is characterized by branched cell shapes in combination
with high migration velocities, it is reasonable to assume that these cells require
fine tuned shape maintenance mechanisms that tightly coordinate protrusion and
adhesion dynamics in a spatiotemporal manner. \r\nTherefore, this study aimed
to elucidate how rapidly migrating leukocytes opt for an ideal migratory path
while maintaining a continuous cell shape and balancing adhesive forces to efficiently
navigate through complex microenvironments. \r\nThe results of this study unraveled
a role for the microtubule cytoskeleton in promoting the decision making process
during path finding and for the first time point towards a microtubule-mediated
function in cell shape maintenance of highly ramified cells such as dendritic
cells. Furthermore, we found that migrating low-adhesive leukocytes are able to
instantaneously adapt to increased tensile load by engaging adhesion receptors.
This response was only occurring tangential to the substrate while adhesive properties
in the vertical direction were not increased. As leukocytes are primed for rapid
migration velocities, these results demonstrate that leukocyte integrins are able
to confer a high level of traction forces parallel to the cell membrane along
the direction of migration without wasting energy in gluing the cell to the substrate.
\r\nThus, the data in the here presented thesis provide new insights into the
pivotal role of cytoskeletal dynamics and the mechanisms of force transduction
during leukocyte migration. \r\nThereby the here presented results help to further
define fundamental principles underlying leukocyte migration and open up potential
therapeutic avenues of clinical relevance.\r\n"

text: During metazoan development, immune surveillance and cancer dissemination,
cells migrate in complex three-dimensional microenvironments1,2,3. These spaces
are crowded by cells and extracellular matrix, generating mazes with differently
sized gaps that are typically smaller than the diameter of the migrating cell4,5.
Most mesenchymal and epithelial cells and some—but not all—cancer cells actively
generate their migratory path using pericellular tissue proteolysis6. By contrast,
amoeboid cells such as leukocytes use non-destructive strategies of locomotion7,
raising the question how these extremely fast cells navigate through dense tissues.
Here we reveal that leukocytes sample their immediate vicinity for large pore
sizes, and are thereby able to choose the path of least resistance. This allows
them to circumnavigate local obstacles while effectively following global directional
cues such as chemotactic gradients. Pore-size discrimination is facilitated by
frontward positioning of the nucleus, which enables the cells to use their bulkiest
compartment as a mechanical gauge. Once the nucleus and the closely associated
microtubule organizing centre pass the largest pore, cytoplasmic protrusions still
lingering in smaller pores are retracted. These retractions are coordinated by
dynamic microtubules; when microtubules are disrupted, migrating cells lose coherence
and frequently fragment into migratory cytoplasmic pieces. As nuclear positioning
in front of the microtubule organizing centre is a typical feature of amoeboid
migration, our findings link the fundamental organization of cellular polarity
to the strategy of locomotion.
