text: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that leads to parent of origin-specific
gene expression in a subset of genes. Imprinted genes are essential for brain
development, and deregulation of imprinting is associated with neurodevelopmental
diseases and the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. However, the cell-type
specificity of imprinting at single cell resolution, and how imprinting and thus
gene dosage regulates neuronal circuit assembly is still largely unknown. Here,
MADM (Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers) technology was employed to assess genomic
imprinting at single cell level. By visualizing MADM-induced uniparental disomies
(UPDs) in distinct colors at single cell level in genetic mosaic animals, this
experimental paradigm provides a unique quantitative platform to systematically
assay the UPD-mediated imbalances in imprinted gene expression at unprecedented
resolution. An experimental pipeline based on FACS, RNA-seq and bioinformatics
analysis was established and applied to systematically map cell-type-specific
‘imprintomes’ in the mouse brain. The results revealed that parental-specific
expression of imprinted genes per se is rarely cell-type-specific even at the
individual cell level. Conversely, when we extended the comparison to downstream
responses resulting from imbalanced imprinted gene expression, we discovered an
unexpectedly high degree of cell-type specificity. Furthermore, we determined
a novel function of genomic imprinting in cortical astrocyte production and in
olfactory bulb (OB) granule cell generation. These results suggest important functional
implication of genomic imprinting for generating cell-type diversity in the brain.
In addition, MADM provides a powerful tool to study candidate genes by concomitant
genetic manipulation and fluorescent labelling of single cells. MADM-based candidate
gene approach was utilized to identify potential imprinted genes involved in the
generation of cortical astrocytes and OB granule cells. We investigated p57Kip2,
a maternally expressed gene and known cell cycle regulator. Although we found
that p57Kip2 does not play a role in these processes, we detected an unexpected
function of the paternal allele previously thought to be silent. Finally, we took
advantage of a key property of MADM which is to allow unambiguous investigation
of environmental impact on single cells. The experimental pipeline based on FACS
and RNA-seq analysis of MADM-labeled cells was established to probe the functional
differences of single cell loss of gene function compared to global loss of function
on a transcriptional level. With this method, both common and distinct responses
were isolated due to cell-autonomous and non-autonomous effects acting on genotypically
identical cells. As a result, transcriptional changes were identified which result
solely from the surrounding environment. Using the MADM technology to study genomic
imprinting at single cell resolution, we have identified cell-type-specific gene
expression, novel gene function and the impact of environment on single cell transcriptomes.
Together, these provide important insights to the understanding of mechanisms
regulating cell-type specificity and thus diversity in the brain.

text: 'In the here presented thesis, we explore the role of branched actin networks
in cell migration and antigen presentation, the two most relevant processes in
dendritic cell biology. Branched actin networks construct lamellipodial protrusions
at the leading edge of migrating cells. These are typically seen as adhesive structures,
which mediate force transduction to the extracellular matrix that leads to forward
locomotion. We ablated Arp2/3 nucleation promoting factor WAVE in DCs and found
that the resulting cells lack lamellipodial protrusions. Instead, depending on
the maturation state, one or multiple filopodia were formed. By challenging these
cells in a variety of migration assays we found that lamellipodial protrusions
are dispensable for the locomotion of leukocytes and actually dampen the speed
of migration. However, lamellipodia are critically required to negotiate complex
environments that DCs experience while they travel to the next draining lymph
node. Taken together our results suggest that leukocyte lamellipodia have rather
a sensory- than a force transducing function. Furthermore, we show for the first
time structure and dynamics of dendritic cell F-actin at the immunological synapse
with naïve T cells. Dendritic cell F-actin appears as dynamic foci that are nucleated
by the Arp2/3 complex. WAVE ablated dendritic cells show increased membrane tension,
leading to an altered ultrastructure of the immunological synapse and severe T
cell priming defects. These results point towards a previously unappreciated role
of the cellular mechanics of dendritic cells in T cell activation. Additionally,
we present a novel cell culture based system for the differentiation of dendritic
cells from conditionally immortalized hematopoietic precursors. These precursor
cells are genetically tractable via the CRISPR/Cas9 system while they retain their
ability to differentiate into highly migratory dendritic cells and other immune
cells. This will foster the study of all aspects of dendritic cell biology and
beyond. '

text: The whole life cycle of plants as well as their responses to environmental
stimuli is governed by a complex network of hormonal regulations. A number of
studies have demonstrated an essential role of both auxin and cytokinin in the
regulation of many aspects of plant growth and development including embryogenesis,
postembryonic organogenic processes such as root, and shoot branching, root and
shoot apical meristem activity and phyllotaxis. Over the last decades essential
knowledge on the key molecular factors and pathways that spatio-temporally define
auxin and cytokinin activities in the plant body has accumulated. However, how
both hormonal pathways are interconnected by a complex network of interactions
and feedback circuits that determines the final outcome of the individual hormone
actions is still largely unknown. Root system architecture establishment and in
particular formation of lateral organs is prime example of developmental process
at whose regulation both auxin and cytokinin pathways converge. To dissect convergence
points and pathways that tightly balance auxin - cytokinin antagonistic activities
that determine the root branching pattern transcriptome profiling was applied.
Genome wide expression analyses of the xylem pole pericycle, a tissue giving rise
to lateral roots, led to identification of genes that are highly responsive to
combinatorial auxin and cytokinin treatments and play an essential function in
the auxin-cytokinin regulated root branching. SYNERGISTIC AUXIN CYTOKININ 1 (SYAC1)
gene, which encodes for a protein of unknown function, was detected among the
top candidate genes of which expression was synergistically up-regulated by simultaneous
hormonal treatment. Plants with modulated SYAC1 activity exhibit severe defects
in the root system establishment and attenuate developmental responses to both
auxin and cytokinin. To explore the biological function of the SYAC1, we employed
different strategies including expression pattern analysis, subcellular localization
and phenotypic analyses of the syac1 loss-of-function and gain-of-function transgenic
lines along with the identification of the SYAC1 interaction partners. Detailed
functional characterization revealed that SYAC1 acts as a developmentally specific
regulator of the secretory pathway to control deposition of cell wall components
and thereby rapidly fine tune elongation growth.

text: 'The hippocampus is a key brain region for spatial memory and navigation and
is needed at all stages of memory, including encoding, consolidation, and recall.
Hippocampal place cells selectively discharge at specific locations of the environment
to form a cognitive map of the space. During the rest period and sleep following
spatial navigation and/or learning, the waking activity of the place cells is
reactivated within high synchrony events. This reactivation is thought to be important
for memory consolidation and stabilization of the spatial representations. The
aim of my thesis was to directly test whether the reactivation content encoded
in firing patterns of place cells is important for consolidation of spatial memories.
In particular, I aimed to test whether, in cases when multiple spatial memory
traces are acquired during learning, the specific disruption of the reactivation
of a subset of these memories leads to the selective disruption of the corresponding
memory traces or through memory interference the other learned memories are disrupted
as well. In this thesis, using a modified cheeseboard paradigm and a closed-loop
recording setup with feedback optogenetic stimulation, I examined how the disruption
of the reactivation of specific spiking patterns affects consolidation of the
corresponding memory traces. To obtain multiple distinctive memories, animals
had to perform a spatial task in two distinct cheeseboard environments and the
reactivation of spiking patterns associated with one of the environments (target)
was disrupted after learning during four hours rest period using a real-time decoding
method. This real-time decoding method was capable of selectively affecting the
firing rates and cofiring correlations of the target environment-encoding cells.
The selective disruption led to behavioural impairment in the memory tests after
the rest periods in the target environment but not in the other undisrupted control
environment. In addition, the map of the target environment was less stable in
the impaired memory tests compared to the learning session before than the map
of the control environment. However, when the animal relearned the task, the same
map recurred in the target environment that was present during learning before
the disruption. Altogether my work demonstrated that the reactivation content
is important: assembly-related disruption of reactivation can lead to a selective
memory impairment and deficiency in map stability. These findings indeed suggest
that reactivated assembly patterns reflect processes associated with the consolidation
of memory traces. '

text: 'Immune cells migrating to the sites of infection navigate through diverse
tissue architectures and switch their migratory mechanisms upon demand. However,
little is known about systemic regulators that could allow the acquisition of
these mechanisms. We performed a genetic screen in Drosophila melanogaster to
identify regulators of germband invasion by embryonic macrophages into the confined
space between the ectoderm and mesoderm. We have found that bZIP circadian transcription
factors (TFs) Kayak (dFos) and Vrille (dNFIL3) have opposite effects on macrophage
germband infiltration: Kayak facilitated and Vrille inhibited it. These TFs are
enriched in the macrophages during migration and genetically interact to control
it. Kayak sets a less coordinated mode of migration of the macrophage group and
increases the probability and length of Levy walks. Intriguingly, the motility
of kayak mutant macrophages was also strongly affected during initial germband
invasion but not along another less confined route. Inhibiting Rho1 signaling
within the tail ectoderm partially rescued the Kayak mutant phenotype, strongly
suggesting that migrating macrophages have to overcome a barrier imposed by the
stiffness of the ectoderm. Also, Kayak appeared to be important for the maintenance
of the round cell shape and the rear edge translocation of the macrophages invading
the germband. Complementary to this, the cortical actin cytoskeleton of Kayak-
deficient macrophages was strongly affected. RNA sequencing revealed the filamin
Cheerio and tetraspanin TM4SF to be downstream of Kayak. Chromatin immunoprecipitation
and immunostaining revealed that the formin Diaphanous is another downstream target
of Kayak. Immunostaining revealed that the formin Diaphanous is another downstream
target of Kayak. Indeed, Cheerio, TM4SF and Diaphanous are required within macrophages
for germband invasion, and expression of constitutively active Diaphanous in macrophages
was able to rescue the kayak mutant phenotype. Moreover, Cher and Diaphanous are
also reduced in the macrophages overexpressing Vrille. We hypothesize that Kayak,
through its targets, increases actin polymerization and cortical tension in macrophages
and thus allows extra force generation necessary for macrophage dissemination
and migration through confined stiff tissues, while Vrille counterbalances it.'

text: 'A major challenge in neuroscience research is to dissect the circuits that
orchestrate behavior in health and disease. Proteins from a wide range of non-mammalian
species, such as microbial opsins, have been successfully transplanted to specific
neuronal targets to override their natural communication patterns. The goal of
our work is to manipulate synaptic communication in a manner that closely incorporates
the functional intricacies of synapses by preserving temporal encoding (i.e. the
firing pattern of the presynaptic neuron) and connectivity (i.e. target specific
synapses rather than specific neurons). Our strategy to achieve this goal builds
on the use of non-mammalian transplants to create a synthetic synapse. The mode
of modulation comes from pre-synaptic uptake of a synthetic neurotransmitter (SN)
into synaptic vesicles by means of a genetically targeted transporter selective
for the SN. Upon natural vesicular release, exposure of the SN to the synaptic
cleft will modify the post-synaptic potential through an orthogonal ligand gated
ion channel. To achieve this goal we have functionally characterized a mixed cationic
methionine-gated ion channel from Arabidopsis thaliana, designed a method to functionally
characterize a synthetic transporter in isolated synaptic vesicles without the
need for transgenic animals, identified and extracted multiple prokaryotic uptake
systems that are substrate specific for methionine (Met), and established a primary/cell
line co-culture system that would allow future combinatorial testing of this orthogonal
transmitter-transporter-channel trifecta. Synthetic synapses will provide a unique
opportunity to manipulate synaptic communication while maintaining the electrophysiological
integrity of the pre-synaptic cell. In this way, information may be preserved
that was generated in upstream circuits and that could be essential for concerted
function and information processing. '

text: The Wnt/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) pathway determines planar polarity
of epithelial cells in both vertebrates and invertebrates. The role that Wnt/PCP
signaling plays in mesenchymal contexts, however, is only poorly understood. While
previous studies have demonstrated the capacity of Wnt/PCP signaling to polarize
and guide directed migration of mesenchymal cells, it remains unclear whether
endogenous Wnt/PCP signaling performs these functions instructively, as it does
in epithelial cells. Here we developed a light-switchable version of the Wnt/PCP
receptor Frizzled 7 (Fz7) to unambiguously distinguish between an instructive
and a permissive role of Wnt/PCP signaling for the directional collective migration
of mesendoderm progenitor cells during zebrafish gastrulation. We show that prechordal
plate (ppl) cell migration is defective in maternal-zygotic fz7a and fz7b (MZ
fz7a,b) double mutant embryos, and that Fz7 functions cell-autonomously in this
process by promoting ppl cell protrusion formation and directed migration. We
further show that local activation of Fz7 can direct ppl cell migration both in
vitro and in vivo. Surprisingly, however, uniform Fz7 activation is sufficient
to fully rescue the ppl cell migration defect in MZ fz7a,b mutant embryos, indicating
that Wnt/PCP signaling functions permissively rather than instructively in directed
mesendoderm cell migration during zebrafish gastrulation.

text: Expression of genes is a fundamental molecular phenotype that is subject to
evolution by different types of mutations. Both the rate and the effect of mutations
may depend on the DNA sequence context of a particular gene or a particular promoter
sequence. In this thesis I investigate the nature of this dependence using simple
genetic systems in Escherichia coli. With these systems I explore the evolution
of constitutive gene expression from random starting sequences at different loci
on the chromosome and at different locations in sequence space. First, I dissect
chromosomal neighborhood effects that underlie locus-dependent differences in
the potential of a gene under selection to become more highly expressed. Next,
I find that the effects of point mutations in promoter sequences are dependent
on sequence context, and that an existing energy matrix model performs poorly
in predicting relative expression of unrelated sequences. Finally, I show that
a substantial fraction of random sequences contain functional promoters and I
present an extended thermodynamic model that predicts promoter strength in full
sequence space. Taken together, these results provide new insights and guides
on how to integrate information on sequence context to improve our qualitative
and quantitative understanding of bacterial gene expression, with implications
for rapid evolution of drug resistance, de novo evolution of genes, and horizontal
gene transfer.

text: Solid-state qubit manipulation and read-out fidelities are reaching fault-tolerance,
but quantum error correction requires millions of physical qubits and therefore
a scalable quantum computer architecture. To solve signal-line bandwidth and fan-out
problems, microwave sources required for qubit manipulation might be embedded
close to the qubit chip, typically operating at temperatures below 4 K. Here,
we perform the first low temperature measurements of a 130 nm BiCMOS based SiGe
voltage controlled oscillator at cryogenic temperature. We determined the frequency
and output power dependence on temperature and magnetic field up to 5 T and measured
the temperature influence on its noise performance. The device maintains its full
functionality from 300 K to 4 K. The carrier frequency at 4 K increases by 3%
with respect to the carrier frequency at 300 K, and the output power at 4 K increases
by 10 dB relative to the output power at 300 K. The frequency tuning range of
approximately 20% remains unchanged between 300 K and 4 K. In an in-plane magnetic
field of 5 T, the carrier frequency shifts by only 0.02% compared to the frequency
at zero magnetic field.

text: 'Antibiotic resistance can emerge spontaneously through genomic mutation and render
treatment ineffective. To counteract this process, in addition to the discovery and
description of resistance mechanisms,a deeper understanding of resistanceevolvabilityand
its determinantsis needed. To address this challenge, this thesisuncoversnew genetic
determinants of resistance evolvability using a customized robotic setup,
exploressystematic ways in which resistance evolution is perturbed due to
dose-responsecharacteristics of drugs and mutation rate differences,and mathematically investigates
the evolutionary fate of one specific type of evolvability modifier -a stress-induced
mutagenesis allele.We find severalgenes which strongly inhibit or potentiate resistance evolution. In order
to identify them, we first developedan automated high-throughput feedback-controlled
protocol whichkeeps the population size and selection pressure approximately constant
for hundreds of cultures by dynamically re-diluting the cultures and adjusting the antibiotic
concentration. We implementedthis protocol on a customized liquid handling robot and
propagated 100 different gene deletion strains of Escherichia coliin triplicate for over 100
generations in tetracycline and in chloramphenicol, and comparedtheir adaptation rates.We find a diminishing returns pattern, where initially sensitive strains adapted more
compared to less sensitive ones. Our data uncover that deletions of certain genes
which do not affect mutation rate,including efflux pump components, a chaperone and
severalstructural and regulatory genes can strongly and reproducibly alterresistance evolution.
Sequencing analysis of evolved populations indicates that epistasis with resistance
mutations is the most likelyexplanation. This work could inspire treatment strategies in
which targeted inhibitors of evolvability mechanisms will be given alongside antibiotics to
slow down resistance evolution and extend theefficacy of antibiotics.We implemented astochasticpopulation genetics model,
toverifyways in which general properties, namely, dose-response characteristics of drugs and mutation rates, influence
evolutionary dynamics. In particular, under the exposure to antibiotics with shallow dose-response curves,bacteria have narrower distributions of fitness effects of new mutations.
We show that in silicothis also leads to slower resistance evolution. We
see and confirm with experiments that increased mutation rates, apart from speeding
up evolution, also leadto high reproducibility of phenotypic adaptation in a context
of continually strong selection pressure.Knowledge of these patterns can aid in predicting the dynamics of antibiotic
resistance evolutionand adapting treatment schemes accordingly.Focusing on a previously described type of evolvability modifier
–a stress-induced mutagenesis allele –we find conditions under which it can persist in a population under
periodic selectionakin to clinical treatment. We set up a deterministic
infinite populationcontinuous time model tracking the frequencies of a mutator and resistance allele and
evaluate various treatment schemes in how well they maintain a stress-induced
mutator allele. In particular,a high diversity of stresses is crucial for the persistence
of the mutator allele. This leads to a general trade-off where exactly those
diversifying treatment schemes which are likely to decrease levels of resistance could lead to stronger selection of highly
evolvable genotypes.In the long run, this work will lead to a deeper understanding of the genetic and cellular
mechanisms involved in antibiotic resistance evolution and could inspire new strategies
for slowing down its rate. '

text: Drosophila melanogaster plasmatocytes, the phagocytic cells among hemocytes,
are essential for immune responses, but also play key roles from early development
to death through their interactions with other cell types. They regulate homeostasis
and signaling during development, stem cell proliferation, metabolism, cancer,
wound responses and aging, displaying intriguing molecular and functional conservation
with vertebrate macrophages. Given the relative ease of genetics in Drosophila
compared to vertebrates, tools permitting visualization and genetic manipulation
of plasmatocytes and surrounding tissues independently at all stages would greatly
aid in fully understanding these processes, but are lacking. Here we describe
a comprehensive set of transgenic lines that allow this. These include extremely
brightly fluorescing mCherry-based lines that allow GAL4-independent visualization
of plasmatocyte nuclei, cytoplasm or actin cytoskeleton from embryonic Stage 8
through adulthood in both live and fixed samples even as heterozygotes, greatly
facilitating screening. These lines allow live visualization and tracking of embryonic
plasmatocytes, as well as larval plasmatocytes residing at the body wall or flowing
with the surrounding hemolymph. With confocal imaging, interactions of plasmatocytes
and inner tissues can be seen in live or fixed embryos, larvae and adults. They
permit efficient GAL4-independent FACS analysis/sorting of plasmatocytes throughout
life. To facilitate genetic analysis of reciprocal signaling, we have also made
a plasmatocyte-expressing QF2 line that in combination with extant GAL4 drivers
allows independent genetic manipulation of both plasmatocytes and surrounding
tissues, and a GAL80 line that blocks GAL4 drivers from affecting plasmatocytes,
both of which function from the early embryo to the adult.

text: Metabotropic GABAB receptors mediate slow inhibitory effects presynaptically
and postsynaptically through the modulation of different effector signalling pathways.
Here, we analysed the distribution of GABAB receptors using highly sensitive SDS-digested
freeze-fracture replica labelling in mouse cerebellar Purkinje cells. Immunoreactivity
for GABAB1 was observed on presynaptic and, more abundantly, on postsynaptic compartments,
showing both scattered and clustered distribution patterns. Quantitative analysis
of immunoparticles revealed a somato-dendritic gradient, with the density of immunoparticles
increasing 26-fold from somata to dendritic spines. To understand the spatial
relationship of GABAB receptors with two key effector ion channels, the G protein-gated
inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK/Kir3) channel and the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel,
biochemical and immunohistochemical approaches were performed. Co-immunoprecipitation
analysis demonstrated that GABAB receptors co-assembled with GIRK and CaV2.1 channels
in the cerebellum. Using double-labelling immunoelectron microscopic techniques,
co-clustering between GABAB1 and GIRK2 was detected in dendritic spines, whereas
they were mainly segregated in the dendritic shafts. In contrast, co-clustering
of GABAB1 and CaV2.1 was detected in dendritic shafts but not spines. Presynaptically,
although no significant co-clustering of GABAB1 and GIRK2 or CaV2.1 channels was
detected, inter-cluster distance for GABAB1 and GIRK2 was significantly smaller
in the active zone than in the dendritic shafts, and that for GABAB1 and CaV2.1
was significantly smaller in the active zone than in the dendritic shafts and
spines. Thus, GABAB receptors are associated with GIRK and CaV2.1 channels in
different subcellular compartments. These data provide a better framework for
understanding the different roles played by GABAB receptors and their effector
ion channels in the cerebellar network.

text: Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) GABAergic interneurons in hippocampal microcircuits
are thought to play a key role in several higher network functions, such as feedforward
and feedback inhibition, network oscillations, and pattern separation. Fast lateral
inhibition mediated by GABAergic interneurons may implement a winner-takes-all
mechanism in the hippocampal input layer. However, it is not clear whether the
functional connectivity rules of granule cells (GCs) and interneurons in the dentate
gyrus are consistent with such a mechanism. Using simultaneous patch-clamp recordings
from up to seven GCs and up to four PV+ interneurons in the dentate gyrus, we
find that connectivity is structured in space, synapse-specific, and enriched
in specific disynaptic motifs. In contrast to the neocortex, lateral inhibition
in the dentate gyrus (in which a GC inhibits neighboring GCs via a PV+ interneuron)
is ~ 10-times more abundant than recurrent inhibition (in which a GC inhibits
itself). Thus, unique connectivity rules may enable the dentate gyrus to perform
specific higher-order computations

text: 'Crypto-currencies are digital assets designed to work as a medium of exchange,
e.g., Bitcoin, but they are susceptible to attacks (dishonest behavior of participants).
A framework for the analysis of attacks in crypto-currencies requires (a) modeling
of game-theoretic aspects to analyze incentives for deviation from honest behavior;
(b) concurrent interactions between participants; and (c) analysis of long-term
monetary gains. Traditional game-theoretic approaches for the analysis of security
protocols consider either qualitative temporal properties such as safety and termination,
or the very special class of one-shot (stateless) games. However, to analyze general
attacks on protocols for crypto-currencies, both stateful analysis and quantitative
objectives are necessary. In this work our main contributions are as follows:
(a) we show how a class of concurrent mean-payo games, namely ergodic games, can
model various attacks that arise naturally in crypto-currencies; (b) we present
the first practical implementation of algorithms for ergodic games that scales
to model realistic problems for crypto-currencies; and (c) we present experimental
results showing that our framework can handle games with thousands of states and
millions of transitions.'

text: 'Smart contracts are computer programs that are executed by a network of mutually
distrusting agents, without the need of an external trusted authority. Smart contracts
handle and transfer assets of considerable value (in the form of crypto-currency
like Bitcoin). Hence, it is crucial that their implementation is bug-free. We
identify the utility (or expected payoff) of interacting with such smart contracts
as the basic and canonical quantitative property for such contracts. We present
a framework for such quantitative analysis of smart contracts. Such a formal framework
poses new and novel research challenges in programming languages, as it requires
modeling of game-theoretic aspects to analyze incentives for deviation from honest
behavior and modeling utilities which are not specified as standard temporal properties
such as safety and termination. While game-theoretic incentives have been analyzed
in the security community, their analysis has been restricted to the very special
case of stateless games. However, to analyze smart contracts, stateful analysis
is required as it must account for the different program states of the protocol.
Our main contributions are as follows: we present (i)~a simplified programming
language for smart contracts; (ii)~an automatic translation of the programs to
state-based games; (iii)~an abstraction-refinement approach to solve such games;
and (iv)~experimental results on real-world-inspired smart contracts.'

text: We present a secure approach for maintaining andreporting credit history records on the Blockchain. Our ap-proach removes third-parties such as credit reporting agen-cies from the lending process and replaces them with smartcontracts. This allows customers to interact directly with thelenders or banks while ensuring the integrity, unmalleabilityand privacy of their credit data. Additionally, each customerhas full control over complete or selective disclosure of hercredit
records, eliminating the risk of privacy violations or databreaches. Moreover,
our approach provides strong guaranteesfor the lenders as well. A lender can check
both correctness andcompleteness of the credit data disclosed to her. This is
the firstapproach that can perform all credit reporting tasks withouta central authority or changing the financial mechanisms*.

text: "We study algorithmic questions wrt algebraic path properties in concurrent
systems, where the transitions of the system are labeled from a complete, closed
semiring. 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.\r\nOur 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.\r\n"

text: 'We consider the stochastic shortest path (SSP)problem for succinct Markov
decision processes(MDPs), where the MDP consists of a set of vari-ables, and a
set of nondeterministic rules that up-date the variables. First, we show that
several ex-amples from the AI literature can be modeled assuccinct MDPs. Then
we present computationalapproaches for upper and lower bounds for theSSP problem:
(a) for computing upper bounds, ourmethod is polynomial-time in the implicit descrip-tion
of the MDP; (b) for lower bounds, we present apolynomial-time (in the size of
the implicit descrip-tion) reduction to quadratic programming. Our ap-proach is
applicable even to infinite-state MDPs.Finally, we present experimental results

text: We show that a rather simple, steady modification of the streamwise velocity
profile in a pipe can lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and the flow fully
relaminarizes. Two different devices, a stationary obstacle (inset) and a device
which injects fluid through an annular gap close to the wall, are used to control
the flow. Both devices modify the streamwise velocity profile such that the flow
in the center of the pipe is decelerated and the flow in the near wall region
is accelerated. We present measurements with stereoscopic particle image velocimetry
to investigate and capture the development of the relaminarizing flow downstream
these devices and the specific circumstances responsible for relaminarization.
We find total relaminarization up to Reynolds numbers of 6000, where the skin
friction in the far downstream distance is reduced by a factor of 3.4 due to relaminarization.
In a smooth straight pipe the flow remains completely laminar downstream of the
control. Furthermore, we show that transient (temporary) relaminarization in a
spatially confined region right downstream the devices occurs also at much higher
Reynolds numbers, accompanied by a significant local skin friction drag reduction.
The underlying physical mechanism of relaminarization is attributed to a weakening
of the near-wall turbulence production cycle.

text: Turbulence is the major cause of friction losses in transport processes and
it is responsible for a drastic drag increase in flows over bounding surfaces.
While much effort is invested into developing ways to control and reduce turbulence
intensities, so far no methods exist to altogether eliminate turbulence if velocities
are sufficiently large. We demonstrate for pipe flow that appropriate distortions
to the velocity profile lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and subsequently
friction losses are reduced by as much as 90%. Counterintuitively, the return
to laminar motion is accomplished by initially increasing turbulence intensities
or by transiently amplifying wall shear. Since neither the Reynolds number nor
the shear stresses decrease (the latter often increase), these measures are not
indicative of turbulence collapse. Instead, an amplification mechanism measuring
the interaction between eddies and the mean shear is found to set a threshold
below which turbulence is suppressed beyond recovery.
