A New Kind of Computational Biology: Cellular Automata Based Models for Genomics and Proteomics
by Parimal Pal Chaudhuri Soumyabrata Ghosh Adip Dutta Somshubhro Pal ChoudhuryThis book reflects more than three decades of research on Cellular Automata (CA), and nearly a decade of work on the application of CA to model biological strings, which forms the foundation of 'A New Kind of Computational Biology' pioneered by the start-up, CARLBio. After a brief introduction on Cellular Automata (CA) theory and functional biology, it reports on the modeling of basic biological strings with CA, starting with the basic nucleotides leading to codon and anti-codon CA models. It derives a more involved CA model of DNA, RNA, the entire translation process for amino acid formation and the evolution of protein to its unique structure and function. In subsequent chapters the interaction of Proteins with other bio-molecules is also modeled. The only prior knowledge assumed necessary is an undergraduate knowledge of computer programming and biology. The book adopts a hands-on, “do-it-yourself” approach to enable readers to apply the method provided to derive the CA rules and comprehend how these are related to the physical ‘rules’ observed in biology. In a single framework, the authors have presented two branches of science – Computation and Biology. Instead of rigorous molecular dynamics modeling, which the authors describe as a Bottoms-Up model, or relying on the Top-Down new age Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Language (ML) that depends on extensive availability of quality data, this book takes the best from both the Top-Down and Bottoms-up approaches and establishes how the behavior of complex molecules is represented in CA. The CA rules are derived from the basic knowledge of molecular interaction and construction observed in biological world but mapped to a few subset of known results to derive and predict results.This book is useful for students, researchers and industry practitioners who want to explore modeling and simulation of the physical world complex systems from a different perspective. It raises the inevitable the question – ‘Are life and the universe nothing but a collection of continuous systems processing information’.

A New Platform for Edge Mode Manipulations in the Quantum Hall Effect (Springer Theses)
by Yonatan CohenIn the last several decades, the quantum Hall effect has provided a remarkable platform for manipulating one-dimensional electronic modes and investigating fundamental physical phenomena. However, certain limitations make it difficult for various kinds of interesting modes structures to be formed using this platform. One example is the so called helical mode structure, in which two one-dimensional, counter propagating modes have opposite spins and thus spin and momentum are locked. Such helical modes have lately attracted significant interest, since, when coupled to a conventional superconductor, they are expected to manifest topological superconductivity and host Majorana zero modes. Even more interesting are fractional helical modes, which open the way for realizing generalized parafermionic zero modes. Possessing non-abelian exchange statistics, these quasiparticles may serve as building blocks in topological quantum computing. Here we present a new platform for manipulating integer and fractional quantum Hall edge modes, which allows the formation of robust one-dimensional helical as well as fractional helical modes. The platform is based on a carefully designed double-quantum-well structure in a GaAs based system hosting two electronic sub-bands in the quantum Hall effect regime. By electrostatic gating of different areas of the structure, counter-propagating integer, as well as fractional, edge modes with opposite spins are formed and their spin protection is verified. Beyond the formation of helical modes, the new platform can serve as a rich playground for new research. Some new possibilities include the artificial induction of compounded fractional edge modes and the construction of new edge mode-based interferometers.

Nicht hackbare Rechner und nicht brechbare Kryptographie
by Wolfgang A. Halang Robert FitzViren, Würmer, Trojanische Pferde, das Arsenal der Hackerangriffe auf IT-Infrastrukturen scheint unerschöpflich. Nachdem Computerwurm Stuxnet 2010 das Steuerungssystem eines iranischen Atomkraftwerks befallen hatte und Computer durch die Malware Flame ferngesteuert und ausspioniert wurden, sorgte 2015 ein Virus namens Duqu 2.0 für Schlagzeilen, weil er die IT von Unternehmen in Europa, Asien und den USA infiziert hatte. Was aber wenn Computer grundsätzlich gegen solche Hackerangriffe immun wären? Wissenschaftlich fundiert und zugleich verständlich geschrieben, zeigen die beiden IT-Experten in ihrem Buch, wie Computer mithilfe von bekannten technischen Verfahren so konstruiert werden können, dass Hackerangriffe grundsätzlich an ihnen abprallen. Zum einen setzen die Autoren für die IT-Sicherheit auf eine Rechnerarchitektur, die in mindestens zwei Segmente unterteilt ist: in einen schreibgeschützten und für Programme nicht beeinflussbaren Bereich sowie einen nicht-schreibgeschützten Bereich für Daten gibt, die sich oft ändern. Kombiniert unter anderem mit effektiven Verschlüsselungs- und Verschleierungsverfahren, einer sichereren Authentifizierung der Nutzer etwa durch biometrische Merkmale sowie sicheren virtuellen Adressen und Seitenverzeichnisstartadressen werden Computer unangreifbar für Software, die unerlaubt in den Rechner eindringt und Daten abschöpft.Die Autoren gehen in ihrer technisch-wissenschaftlich exakten Darstellung auf folgende Fragen ein:- Wie sicher sind Rechner und Netze heute?- Wie funktionieren Angriffe mit Stuxnet, Flame und Duqu und wie die Methoden zu ihrer Abwehr?- Welchen Schutz bieten Harvard- und Von-Neumann-Architekturen (VNA)?- Wie sehen neuartige Schutzmaßnahmen aus und wie können mobile Geräte geschützt werden?- Wie funktioniert sichere Datenverschlüsselung und -verschleierung?Das Buch richtet sich an IT-Experten und IT-Sicherheitsverantwortliche in Unternehmen und Organisationen und an alle, die sich für Fragen der Daten- und Netzsicherheit interessieren. Für das Verständnis sind nur elementare Vorkenntnisse erforderlich.
