Coding in theoretical computer science [PDF]

, 2020
This thesis contains three topics, list decoding of rank-metric codes, local decoding of Reed-Muller codes and the design of tampering detection codes and its generalization non-malleable codes. The first two topics are the central problems in theoretical computer science and the last one has cryptographic background. They are all focused on the design

On the Descriptive Complexity of Color Coding

Algorithms, 2021
Color coding is an algorithmic technique used in parameterized complexity theory to detect “small” structures inside graphs. The idea is to derandomize algorithms that first randomly color a graph and then search for an easily-detectable, small color ...

Solving constraint satisfaction problems with networks of spiking neurons

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Network of neurons in the brain apply – unlike processors in our current generation ofcomputer hardware – an event-based processing strategy, where short pulses (spikes) areemitted sparsely by neurons to signal the occurrence of an event at a particular ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Combining transient dynamics and logistic‐asymptotic growth to study the recovery of two seabird populations after rat eradication

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

An Improved Simulated Annealing Algorithm With Excessive Length Penalty for Fixed-Outline Floorplanning

IEEE Access, 2020
In addition to wirelength and area, modern floorplans need to consider various constraints such as fixed-outline. To handle the fixed-outline floorplanning optimization problem efficiently, we propose an improved simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, which

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the
