description: This volume contains the joint proceedings of MARS 2018, the third workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems, and VPT 2018, the sixth international workshop on Verification and Program Transformation, held together on April 20, 2018 in Thessaloniki, Greece, as part of ETAPS 2018, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. MARS emphasises modelling over verification. It aims at discussing the lessons learned from making formal methods for the verification and analysis of realistic systems. Examples are: (1) Which formalism is chosen, and why? (2) Which abstractions have to be made and why? (3) How are important characteristics of the system modelled? (4) Were there any complications while modelling the system? (5) Which measures were taken to guarantee the accuracy of the model? We invited papers that present full models of real systems, which may lay the basis for future comparison and analysis. An aim of the workshop is to present different modelling approaches and discuss pros and cons for each of them. Alternative formal descriptions of the systems presented at this workshop are encouraged, which should foster the development of improved specification formalisms. VPT aims to provide a forum where people from the areas of program transformation and program verification can fruitfully exchange ideas and gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between those two fields. These interactions have been beneficial in both directions. On the one hand, methods and tools developed in the field of program transformation, such as partial deduction, partial evaluation, fold/unfold transformations, and supercompilation, are applied with success to verification, in particular to the verification of infinite state and parameterized systems. On the other hand, methods developed in program verification, such as model checking, abstract interpretation, SAT and SMT solving, and automated theorem proving, are used to enhance program transformation techniques, thereby making these techniques more powerful and useful in practice.

description: We aim at constraining the diffusive and advective transport processes in Jupiter's stratosphere. The IR spectrum recorded by Cassini/CIRS during the Jupiter flyby contains the fingerprints of several atmospheric compounds and allows probing its atmospheric composition. C2H2 and C2H6, the main compounds produced by methane photochemistry, were retrieved as a function of latitude at certain pressure levels. CIRS observations suggest a different meridional distribution for these two species, difficult to reconcile with their photochemical histories, which are thought to be coupled to the methane photolysis. While the C2H2 abundance decreases with latitude, C2H6 becomes more abundant at high latitudes. A new 2D (latitude-altitude) seasonal photochemical model is developed to study whether the addition of stratospheric transport processes, such as meridional diffusion and advection, can explain the latitudinal behavior of C2H2 and C2H6. C2H2 observations are fairly well reproduced without meridional diffusion. Adding meridional diffusion to the model provides an improved agreement with the C2H6 observations by flattening its meridional distribution, but degrades the fit to the C2H2 distribution. Meridional diffusion alone cannot produce the observed increase with latitude of C2H6. When adding advective transport between 30 mbar and 0.01 mbar, with upwelling winds at the equator and downwelling winds at high latitudes, we can reproduce the C2H6 abundance increase with latitude. However, the fit to the C2H2 distribution is degraded. The strength of the advective winds needed to reproduce the C2H6 abundances is very sensitive to the value of the meridional eddy diffusion coefficient. The coupled fate of C2H2 and C2H6 suggests that an additional process is missing in the model. Ion-neutral chemistry was not accounted for in this work and might be a good candidate to solve this issue.

description: Extracellular rhodanese obtained from Aureobasidium pullulans was employed in both free and immobilized forms for the biodegradation of cyanide present in cassava processing mill effluent (CPME). Crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (at an optimum concentration of 5% v/v) before entrapment in alginate beads resulted in the highest immobilization yield of 94.5% and reduced enzyme leakage of 1.8%. Rhodanese immobilized by cross-linking before entrapment (cbe) retained about 46% of its initial activity after eight cycles of catalysis compared to the entrapment in alginate alone (eaa) which lost more than 79% after the fifth catalytic cycle. A cross-examination of thermodynamic (ΔGd*, ΔSd*, ΔHd*) kinetic (kd, t1/2, D and z−values) parameters at 30–70 °C showed that cbe displayed a higher resistance to thermal inactivation when compared to the free enzyme (fe) and (eaa). The efficiency of cyanide biodegradation from the CPME by the fe, eaa and cbe were 55, 62, and 74% respectively after 6 h. Rhodanese immobilized via cbe had a higher resistance to thermal denaturation over other enzyme forms. Hence, this makes cbe adaptable for large-scale detoxification of cyanide from CPME.
Diffuse matter and cosmogony of stellar systems in researches by Shajn

description: The main topic of long-term researches by G.A. Shajn is the nature of diffuse matter, its distribu-tion in the Galaxy and extragalactic systems, interaction with the interstellar medium and hot stars, the formation of emission and reflection nebulae and stars have become the main theme of researches by Shajn during some years. Based on the analysis of experimental data, mainly pho-tographic observations of nebulae in the Milky Way and extragalactic systems, he made conclu-sions and suggested well-founded hypotheses on a wide range of the considered problems, in-cluding those related to cosmogony. The structure of nebulae, their masses and sizes give a reason to the conclusion that most of them are formed not in the process of ejection of matter from the stars, but this is the objects, which are born and evolved, and quite often comprised in giant conglomerates of gas, dust and stars. The distribution of O-stars and nebulae in spiral branches points to their genetic relation and the fundamental role of the interstellar medium as a source of their formation. The structural features of nebulae are determined by the action of magnetohydrodynamic forces. Magnetic fields in a galaxy control the motion of diffuse gas-dust matter and ensure the maintenance of its spiral structure. These ideas continue being developed in modern directions of astrophysics.

description: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a nonenveloped virus causing an emerging zoonotic disease posing a severe threat to the public health in the world, especially to pregnant women. In this study, a truncated form (aa 368–606) of the open reading frame 2 of the capsid protein (tORF2-HEV), a major structural protein of HEV, was expressed in Escherichia coli. This work characterizes for the first time, the fused Glutathione-S-Transferase-tagged tORF2 (GST-tORF2) and tORF2-HEV forms in E. coli. The fusion protein was purified by affinity chromatography with a purity higher than 90% and to yield about 27% after thrombin digestion. The purified GST-tORF2 protein was then characterized by western blot, using anti-GST antibodies, and CD spectroscopy. The GST-tORF2 and tORF2-HEV proteins were shown to be efficient to develop an ELISA test to detect anti-HEV IgG in mice sera immunized with a recombinant full length ORF2 protein. Sera showed a significant increase of the absorbance signal at 450 nm, in plate wells coated with a quantity of 0.5, 1 and 2 µg of proteins. ELISA plates coated with the purified GST-tORF2 and tORF2-HEV showed similar response when compared to the HEV ELISA where total insect cell lysate, infected with the recombinant baculovirus expressing full ORF2, was used as positive control.

description: The Ooguri-Vafa Swampland Conjectures claim that in any consistent theory of quantum gravity, when venturing to large distances in scalar field space, a tower of particles will become light at a rate that is exponential in the field space distance. We provide a novel viewpoint on this claim: if we assume that a tower of states becomes light near a particular point in field space, and we further demand that loop corrections drive both gravity and the scalar to strong coupling at a common energy scale, then the requirement that the particles become light exponentially fast in the field-space distance in Planck units follows automatically. Furthermore, the same assumption of a common strong-coupling scale for scalar fields and gravitons implies that when a scalar field evolves over a super-Planckian distance, the average particle mass changes by an amount of order the cutoff energy. This supports earlier suggestions that significantly super-Planckian excursions in field space cannot be described within a single effective field theory. We comment on the relationship of our results to the Weak Gravity Conjecture.

description: We show that the Halperin-Haldane SQHE wave function can be written in the form of a product of a wave function for charged semions in a magnetic field and a wave function for the Chiral Spin Liquid of neutral spin-$\12$ semions. We introduce field-theoretic model in which the electron operators are factorized in terms of charged spinless semions (holons) and neutral spin-$\12$ semions (spinons). Broken time reversal symmetry and short ranged spin correlations lead to $SU(2)_{k=1}$ Chern-Simons term in Landau-Ginzburg action for SQHE phase. We construct appropriate coherent states for SQHE phase and show the existence of $SU(2)$ valued gauge potential. This potential appears as a result of ``spin rigidity" of the ground state against any displacements of nodes of wave function from positions of the particles and reflects the nontrivial monodromy in the presence of these displacements. We argue that topological structure of $SU(2)_{k=1}$ Chern-Simons theory unambiguously dictates {\it semion} statistics of spinons.

description: Conventional cotton scouring in the textile industry using alkali results in huge environmental impact which can be overcome by using enzymes. Pectinase along with cutinase gives enhanced bioscouring results. Cutin was extracted from tomato peels and was used as substrate in the microbial media. The strain isolated from tomato peel was identified as Acinetobacter baumannii AU10 by 16S rDNA sequencing. The cutinase production was optimized by Placket-Burman and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the maximum production of 82.75 U/mL obtained at sucrose 6.68% (w/v), gelatin 2.74 g/L at a temperature of 35.93 °C. Cutinase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and ion exchange chromatography with a recovery of 25.6% and specific activity of 38030 U/mg. The confirmation test for the purity of cutinase was analyzed by RP-HPLC. The molecular mass of cutinase was determined as 28.9 kDa by SDS-PAGE technique. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed a rough and open primary wall surface on the cutinase bioscoured fabric which confirmed its activity on cutin present in the cotton fabric. Additionally, the cutinase-bioscoured samples showed better absorbency than the untreated samples. Therefore, enzymatic scouring increases wetting capacity of scoured cotton and also helps to reduce environmental pollution.

description: We present an attempt to reconcile the solar tachocline glitch, a thin layer immediately beneath the convection zone in which the seismically inferred sound speed in the Sun exceeds corresponding values in standard solar models, with a degree of partial material mixing which we presume to have resulted from a combination of convective overshoot, wave transport and tachocline circulation. We first summarize the effects of either modifying in the models the opacity in the radiative interior or of incorporating either slow or fast tachocline circulation. Neither alone is successful. We then consider, without physical justification, incomplete material redistribution immediately beneath the convection zone which is slow enough not to disturb radiative equilibrium. It is modelled simply as a diffusion process. We find that, in combination with an appropriate opacity modification, it is possible to find a density-dependent diffusion coefficient that removes the glitch almost entirely, with a radiative envelope that is consistent with seismology.

description: The Fourier spectrum of the $γ$-Dor variable KIC 5608334 shows remarkable frequency groups at $\sim$3, $\sim$6, $\sim$9, and 11--12\,d$^{-1}$. We explain the four frequency groups as prograde sectoral g modes in a rapidly rotating star. Frequencies of intermediate-to-high radial order prograde sectoral g modes in a rapidly rotating star are proportional to $|m|$ (i.e., $ν\propto |m|$) in the co-rotating frame as well as in the inertial frame. This property is consistent with the frequency groups of KIC 5608334 as well as the period vs. period-spacing relation present within each frequency group, if we assume a rotation frequency of $2.2$\,d$^{-1}$, and that each frequency group consists of prograde sectoral g modes of $|m| = 1, 2, 3,$ and 4, respectively. In addition, these modes naturally satisfy near-resonance conditions $ν_i\approxν_j+ν_k$ with $m_i=m_j+m_k$. We even find exact resonance frequency conditions (within the precise measurement uncertainties) in many cases, which correspond to combination frequencies.

description: Recently, several episodes of fracture of zirconia ceramic femoral heads of total hip prostheses have alarmed the medical and scientific community regarding aging problems in zirconia prostheses. Such fractures cause immediate local tissue reactions, which require urgent medical intervention to prevent further complications. As a result, it has been promoted that yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) hip prostheses be substituted by alumina and alumina/Y-TZP ceramics. In the present investigation, we have found an upper limit of Y-TZP concentration in alumina/Y-TZP composites (16 vol.%) to avoid future aging problems. This limit coincides with the percolation threshold measured by infrared (IR) reflectance in a series of alumina/Y-TZP composites.

Theory of computation → Approximation algorithms analysis

description: Since an increasing number of problems in P have conditional lower bounds against exact algorithms, it is natural to study which of these problems can be efficiently approximated. Often, however, there are many potential ways to formulate an approximate version of a problem. We ask: How sensitive is the (in-)approximability of a problem in P to its precise formulation?
To this end, we perform a case study using the popular 3SUM problem. Its many equivalent formulations give rise to a wide range of potential approximate relaxations. Specifically, to obtain an approximate relaxation in our framework, one can choose among the options: (a) 3SUM or Convolution 3SUM, (b) monochromatic or trichromatic, (c) allowing under-approximation, over-approximation, or both, (d) approximate decision or approximate optimization, (e) single output or multiple outputs and (f) implicit or explicit target (given as input). 
We show general reduction principles between some variants and find that we can classify the remaining problems (over polynomially bounded positive integers) into three regimes: 
1) (1+ε)-approximable in near-linear time Õ(n + 1/ε), 
2) (1+ε)-approximable in near-quadratic time Õ(n/ε) or Õ(n+1/ε²), or 
3) non-approximable, i.e., requiring time n^{2± o(1)} even for any approximation factor. In each of these three regimes, we provide matching upper and conditional lower bounds.
To prove our results, we establish two results that may be of independent interest: Over polynomially bounded integers, we show subquadratic equivalence of (min,+)-convolution and polyhedral 3SUM, and we prove equivalence of the Strong 3SUM conjecture and the Strong Convolution 3SUM conjecture.

description: The quest for the origin of the chemical elements, which we find in our body, in our planet (Earth), in our star (Sun), or in our galaxy (Milky Way) could only be resolved with a thorough understanding of the nuclear physics properties of stable and unstable atomic nuclei. While the elements until iron are either created during the big bang or during fusion reactions in stars, most of the elements heavier than iron are produced via neutron-induced reactions. Therefore, neutron capture cross sections of stable and unstable isotopes are important. So far, time-of-flight or activation methods have been applied very successfully, but these methods reach their limits once the isotopes with half-lives shorter than a few months are of interest. A combination of a radioactive beam facility, an ion storage ring and a high flux reactor or a spallation source would allow a direct measurement of neutron-induced reactions over a wide energy range of isotopes with half-lives down to minutes. The idea is to measure neutron-induced reactions on radioactive ions in inverse kinematics. This means, the radioactive ions will pass through a neutron target. In order to efficiently use the rare nuclides as well as to enhance the luminosity, the exotic nuclides can be stored in an ion storage ring. The neutron target can be the core of a research reactor, where one of the central fuel elements is replaced by the evacuated beam pipe of the storage ring. Alternatively, a large moderator surrounding a spallation source can be intersected by the beam pipe of an ion storage ring. Using particle detectors and Schottky spectroscopy, most of the important neutron-induced reactions, such as (n,$γ$), (n,p), (n,$α$), (n,2n), or (n,f), could be investigated.

description: Quantifying galaxy morphology is a challenging yet scientifically rewarding task. As the scale of data continues to increase with upcoming surveys, traditional classification methods will struggle to handle the load. We present a solution through an integration of visual and automated classifications, preserving the best features of both human and machine. We demonstrate the effectiveness of such a system through a re-analysis of visual galaxy morphology classifications collected during the Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2) project. We reprocess the top level question of the GZ2 decision tree with a Bayesian classification aggregation algorithm dubbed SWAP, originally developed for the Space Warps gravitational lens project. Through a simple binary classification scheme we increase the classification rate nearly 5-fold, classifying 226,124 galaxies in 92 days of GZ2 project time while reproducing labels derived from GZ2 classification data with 95.7% accuracy. We next combine this with a Random Forest machine learning algorithm that learns on a suite of nonparametric morphology indicators widely used for automated morphologies. We develop a decision engine that delegates tasks between human and machine, and demonstrate that the combined system provides at least a factor of 8 increase in the classification rate, classifying 210,803 galaxies in just 32 days of GZ2 project time with 93.1% accuracy. As the Random Forest algorithm requires a minimal amount of computation cost, this result has important implications for galaxy morphology identification tasks in the era of Euclid and other large scale surveys.

description: The freezing of colloidal suspensions is encountered in many natural and engineering processes. It can be harnessed through a process known as ice templating, to produce porous materials and composites exhibiting unique functional properties. The phenomenon by itself appears simple: a solidification interface propagates through a colloidal suspension. We are nevertheless still far from a complete understanding and control of the phenomenon. Such lack of control is reflected in the very large scattering of mechanical properties reported for ice-templated ceramics, largely due to the formation of structural defects. Through systematic in situ investigations, we demonstrate here the role of the suspension composition and the role of particle-particle electrostatic interactions on defect formation during ice templating. Flocculation can occur in the intercrystal space, leading to a destabilisation of the solid/liquid interface triggering the growth of crystals perpendicular to the main ice growth direction. This mechanism largely contributes to the formation of structural defects and explains, to a large extent, the scattering of compressive strength values reported in the literature.

description: Energies of four-quark systems calculated by the static quenched SU(2) lattice Monte Carlo method are analyzed in $2\times 2$ bases for square, rectangle, tilted rectangle, linear and quadrilateral geometry configurations and in $3\times 3$ bases for a non-planar geometry configuration. For small interquark distances, a lattice effect is taken into account by considering perimeter dependent terms which are characterized by the cubic symmetry. It is then found that a parameter $f$ - that can be identified as a gluon field overlap factor - is rather well described by the form $exp(-[b_sE{\cal A}+\sqrt{b_s}F{\cal P}])$, where ${\cal A}$ and ${\cal P}$ are the area and perimeter mainly defined by the positions of the four quarks, $b_s$ is the string constant in the 2-quark potentials and $E,F$ are constants.

Gaian bottlenecks and planetary habitability maintained by evolving model biospheres: The ExoGaia model

description: The search for habitable exoplanets inspires the question - how do habitable planets form? Planet habitability models traditionally focus on abiotic processes and neglect a biotic response to changing conditions on an inhabited planet. The Gaia hypothesis postulates that life influences the Earth's feedback mechanisms to form a self-regulating system, and hence that life can maintain habitable conditions on its host planet. If life has a strong influence, it will have a role in determining a planet's habitability over time. We present the ExoGaia model - a model of simple 'planets' host to evolving microbial biospheres. Microbes interact with their host planet via consumption and excretion of atmospheric chemicals. Model planets orbit a 'star' which provides incoming radiation, and atmospheric chemicals have either an albedo, or a heat-trapping property. Planetary temperatures can therefore be altered by microbes via their metabolisms. We seed multiple model planets with life while their atmospheres are still forming and find that the microbial biospheres are, under suitable conditions, generally able to prevent the host planets from reaching inhospitable temperatures, as would happen on a lifeless planet. We find that the underlying geochemistry plays a strong role in determining long-term habitability prospects of a planet. We find five distinct classes of model planets, including clear examples of 'Gaian bottlenecks' - a phenomenon whereby life either rapidly goes extinct leaving an inhospitable planet, or survives indefinitely maintaining planetary habitability. These results suggest that life might play a crucial role in determining the long-term habitability of planets.

Exact results in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(7)$ gauge theories with vector and spinor matters

description: We study three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(7)$ gauge theories with $N_S$ spinorial matters and with $N_f$ vectorial matters. The quantum Coulomb branch on the moduli space of vacua is one- or two-dimensional depending on the matter contents. For particular values of $(N_f,N_S)$, we find s-confinement phases and derive exact superpotentials. The 3d dynamics of $Spin(7)$ is connected to the 4d dynamics via KK-monopoles. Along the Higgs branch of the $Spin(7)$ theories, we obtain 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $G_2$ or $SU(4)$ theories and some of them lead to new s-confinement phases. As a check of our analysis we compute superconformal indices for these theories.

description: We investigate pairing instabilities in the Fermi-liquid-like state of a single species of anyons. We describe the anyons as Fermions interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge field and consider the weak coupling limit where their statistics approaches that of Fermions. We show that, within the conventional BCS approach, due to induced repulsive Coulomb and current-current interactions, the attractive Aharonov-Bohm interaction is not sufficient to generate a gap in the Fermion spectrum.
