Extension Complexity, MSO Logic, and Treewidth [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2020 We consider the convex hull $P_{\varphi}(G)$ of all satisfying assignments of a given MSO formula $\varphi$ on a given graph $G$. We show that there exists an extended formulation of the polytope $P_{\varphi}(G)$ that can be described by $f(|\varphi ...

Comparative Visualization of Algorithms and Data Structures
Computing and InformaticsAlgorithms and data structures are principal parts of computer science education. For many students, however, it is not easy to master them due to their diversity and inherent complexity. The application of algorithm visualizations is a widely adopted approach, which can help to mitigate this difficulty.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Parameterized algorithms for block-structured integer programs with large entries [PDF]
TheoretiCSWe study two classic variants of block-structured integer programming. Two-stage stochastic programs are integer programs of the form $\{A_i \mathbf{x} + D_i \mathbf{y}_i = \mathbf{b}_i\textrm{ for all }i=1,\ldots,n\}$, where $A_i$ and $D_i$ are bounded ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

A Simple $(1-ε)$-Approximation Semi-Streaming Algorithm for Maximum (Weighted) Matching [PDF]
TheoretiCSWe present a simple semi-streaming algorithm for $(1-ε)$-approximation of bipartite matching in $O(\log{\!(n)}/ε)$ passes. This matches the performance of state-of-the-art "$ε$-efficient" algorithms -- the ones with much better dependence on $ε$

Non-adaptive Group Testing on Graphs [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 Grebinski and Kucherov (1998) and Alon et al. (2004-2005) study the problem of learning a hidden graph for some especial cases, such as hamiltonian cycle, cliques, stars, and matchings.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

A Note on Approximating Weighted Nash Social Welfare with Additive Valuations [PDF]
TheoretiCSWe give the first $O(1)$-approximation for the weighted Nash Social Welfare problem with additive valuations. The approximation ratio we obtain is $e^{1/e} + ε\approx 1.445 + ε$, which matches the best known approximation ratio for the unweighted case.
