text: The computation of the winning set for one-pair Streett objectives and for
k-pair Streett objectives in (standard) graphs as well as in game graphs are central
problems in computer-aided verification, with application to the verification
of closed systems with strong fairness conditions, the verification of open systems,
checking interface compatibility, well-formed ness of specifications, and the
synthesis of reactive systems. We give faster algorithms for the computation of
the winning set for (1) one-pair Streett objectives (aka parity-3 problem) in
game graphs and (2) for k-pair Streett objectives in graphs. For both problems
this represents the first improvement in asymptotic running time in 15 years.

text: We prove that nonlinear Gibbs measures can be obtained from the corresponding
many-body, grand-canonical, quantum Gibbs states, in a mean-field limit where
the temperature T diverges and the interaction strength behaves as 1/T. We proceed
by characterizing the interacting Gibbs state as minimizing a functional counting
the free-energy relatively to the non-interacting case. We then perform an infinite-dimensional
analogue of phase-space semiclassical analysis, using fine properties of the quantum
relative entropy, the link between quantum de Finetti measures and upper/lower
symbols in a coherent state basis, as well as Berezin-Lieb type inequalities.
Our results cover the measure built on the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger functional
on a finite interval, as well as smoother interactions in dimensions d 2.

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

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

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

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

text: 'Simple board games, like Tic-Tac-Toe and CONNECT-4, play an important role
not only in the development of mathematical and logical skills, but also in the
emotional and social development. In this paper, we address the problem of generating
targeted starting positions for such games. This can facilitate new approaches
for bringing novice players to mastery, and also leads to discovery of interesting
game variants. We present an approach that generates starting states of varying
hardness levels for player 1 in a two-player board game, given rules of the board
game, the desired number of steps required for player 1 to win, and the expertise
levels of the two players. Our approach leverages symbolic methods and iterative
simulation to efficiently search the extremely large state space. We present experimental
results that include discovery of states of varying hardness levels for several
simple grid-based board games. The presence of such states for standard game variants
like 4×4 Tic-Tac-Toe opens up new games to be played that have never been played
as the default start state is heavily biased. '

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

text: DEC-POMDPs extend POMDPs to a multi-agent setting, where several agents operate
in an uncertain environment independently to achieve a joint objective. DEC-POMDPs
have been studied with finite-horizon and infinite-horizon discounted-sum objectives,
and there exist solvers both for exact and approximate solutions. In this work
we consider Goal-DEC-POMDPs, where given a set of target states, the objective
is to ensure that the target set is reached with minimal cost. We consider the
indefinite-horizon (infinite-horizon with either discounted-sum, or undiscounted-sum,
where absorbing goal states have zero-cost) problem. We present a new method to
solve the problem that extends methods for finite-horizon DEC- POMDPs and the
RTDP-Bel approach for POMDPs. We present experimental results on several examples,
and show our approach presents promising results.
