Solving the TTC 2011 Reengineering Case with GrGen.NET
The challenge of the Reengineering Case is to extract a state machine model
out of the abstract syntax graph of a Java program. The extracted state machine
offers a reduced view on the full program graph and thus helps to understand
the program regarding the question of interest. We tackle this task employing
the general purpose graph rewrite system GrGen.NET (www.grgen.net).Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
The effect of ultra-violet and infra-red rays upon the fission rate within a single clone of paramecium caudatum and the heritability of that effect.
Light in its various phases exerts a marked influence on the functional as well as the physical structure of all living matter. The phenomena of light involves two theories: (1) the wave or electro-magnetic theory conceiving light as consisting of electric emanations or waves of various frequencies and intensities given off from many substances. (The principle source of light as thus conceived is the sun with its estimated temperature of 10,000 F.); (2) the quantum theory which conceives light as a factor involved in ionization in chemical reactions (negative electrons are ejected from a surface of metallic iron when a strong light is focused upon it; i. e., the light causes a quantum of ionization in the iron.) Figure 1 is a diagram showing some of the important physical properties of light
Solving the TTC 2011 Compiler Optimization Task with metatools
The authors' "metatools" are a collection of tools for generic programming.
This includes generating Java sources from mathematically well-founded
specifications, as well as the creation of strictly typed document object
models for XML encoded texts. In this context, almost every computer-internal
structure is treated as a "model", and every computation is a kind of model
transformation.
This concept differs significantly from "classical model transformation"
executed by specialized tools and languages. Therefore it seemed promising to
the organizers of the TTC 2011, as well as to the authors, to apply metatools
to one of the challenges, namely to the "compiler optimization task". This is a
report on the resulting experiences.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
Detecting Elusive Intermediates in Carbohydrate Conversion: A Dynamic Ensemble of Acyclic Glucose-Catalyst Complexes
The role of acyclic carbohydrates
in pathways toward value-added
chemicals has remained poorly characterized due to the low population
of acyclic forms, and due to their instability under reaction conditions.
We conduct steady-state and pre-steady-state measurements by direct
reaction progress monitoring with sensitivity-optimized NMR spectroscopy
in the molybdate-catalyzed epimerization of glucose to mannose. We
detect an exchanging pool of at least 5 acyclic glucose–catalyst
complexes under near-optimum reaction conditions. In the presence
of catalyst, the acyclic glucose population increases within few seconds
prior to reaching a steady state. Exchange between the acyclic intermediates
increases under conditions that favor epimerization. Species accounting
for less than 0.05% of total glucose can be monitored with subsecond
time resolution to allow kinetic analysis of intermediate formation
and catalytic conversion. Epimerization occurs 2–3 orders of
magnitude faster than the binding of acyclic glucose to the catalyst
under near-optimum reaction conditions. The current study brings insight
into the nature of acyclic intermediate-catalyst complexes of very
low population and into experimental strategies for characterizing
very minor intermediates in carbohydrate conversion to value-added
compounds
Solving the TTC 2011 Compiler Optimization Case with QVTR-XSLT
In this short paper we present our solution for the Compiler Optimization
case study of the Transformation Tool Contest (TTC) 2011 using the QVTR-XSLT
tool. The tool supports editing and execution of the graphical notation of QVT

Accelerating the analysis of optical quantum systems using the Koopman operator
The prediction of photon echoes is an important technique for gaining an
understanding of optical quantum systems. However, this requires a large number
of simulations with varying parameters and/or input pulses, which renders
numerical studies expensive. This article investigates how we can use
data-driven surrogate models based on the Koopman operator to accelerate this
process. In order to be successful, we require a model that is accurate over a
large number of time steps. To this end, we employ a bilinear Koopman model
using extended dynamic mode decomposition and simulate the optical Bloch
equations for an ensemble of inhomogeneously broadened two-level systems. Such
systems are well suited to describe the excitation of excitonic resonances in
semiconductor nanostructures, for example, ensembles of semiconductor quantum
dots. We perform a detailed study on the required number of system simulations
such that the resulting data-driven Koopman model is sufficiently accurate for
a wide range of parameter settings. We analyze the L2 error and the relative
error of the photon echo peak and investigate how the control positions relate
to the stabilization. After proper training, the dynamics of the quantum
ensemble can be predicted accurately and numerically very efficiently by our
methods
