Software vulnerability prediction using text analysis techniques

Early identification of software vulnerabilities is essential in software engineering and can help reduce not only costs, but also prevent loss of reputation and damaging litigations for a software firm. Techniques and tools for software vulnerability prediction are thus invaluable. Most of the existing techniques rely on using component characteristic(s) (like code complexity, code churn) for the vulnerability prediction. In this position paper, we present a novel approach for vulnerability prediction that leverages on the analysis of raw source code as text, instead of using "cooked" features. Our initial results seem to be very promising as the prediction model achieves an average accuracy of 0.87, precision of 0.85 and recall of 0.88 on 18 versions of a large mobile application.
N KONTEKSTUELE TEORIE VAN ENTREPRENEURSKAP

A contextual theory of entrepreneurship. Industrial psychologists studying the domain of entrepreneurship tend to focus on the independent variables that predispose entrepreneurial behaviour. The challenge, therefore, was to give expression to the nature of entrepreneurship (as dependant variable) from an industrial psychological perspective. This was done by means of the development of a contextual theory of entrepreneurship. Firstly, the fundamental actions were identified that would give expression to the contextual process of entrepreneurship, after which form was given to its structure. This structure was utilised putting in place a typology of entrepreneurship. The geometric characteristics of the structure were explained. Possibilities for application as well as directions for entrepreneurship development, suggested by the theory were discussed.
Let us talk about sex: Prototype and personal templates

Among laypersons and even among scientists, little agreement exists about the definition of sex. Using the prototype approach, the current research explored the prototypical structure of sex. Further, it examined important intersexual and intrasexual personal templates. In Study 1, 122 participants produced a list of 80 features for the concept sex, which were rated for typicality by 251 participants in Study 2. Important sex differences with respect to the prototype of sex and correlations with sociosexual orientation were also revealed in Study 2. Study 3 (n = 98) extended these findings by showing that response latencies differ for central versus peripheral features, women versus men, and depend on the sociosexual orientation of the participants.
TetGen, a Delaunay-Based Quality Tetrahedral Mesh Generator

TetGen is a C++ program for generating good quality tetrahedral meshes aimed to support numerical methods and scientific computing. The problem of quality tetrahedral mesh generation is challenged by many theoretical and practical issues. TetGen uses Delaunay-based algorithms which have theoretical guarantee of correctness. It can robustly handle arbitrary complex 3D geometries and is fast in practice. The source code of TetGen is freely available. This article presents the essential algorithms and techniques used to develop TetGen. The intended audience are researchers or developers in mesh generation or other related areas. It describes the key software components of TetGen, including an efficient tetrahedral mesh data structure, a set of enhanced local mesh operations (combination of flips and edge removal), and filtered exact geometric predicates. The essential algorithms include incremental Delaunay algorithms for inserting vertices, constrained Delaunay algorithms for inserting constraints (edges and triangles), a new edge recovery algorithm for recovering constraints, and a new constrained Delaunay refinement algorithm for adaptive quality tetrahedral mesh generation. Experimental examples as well as comparisons with other softwares are presented.
Reuse of models in S-BPM process specifications

In software engineering it is commonly accepted that reuse of code is very important for productivity and quality. Generic components are one approach that helps in the reuse of already implemented knowledge. Generic components are already available in certain modeling languages (e.g. UML generic classes). However, there is next to no tool support for working with instances of generic components within those editors. This paper presents some ideas regarding how generic components could be introduced to S-BPM. Some of these components can be considered as patterns. Therefore, the paper discusses different views on patterns and their relations to reusable generic component. Additionally, different strategies for adaptation like design time adaptation and runtime adaptation of components are discussed. Requirements for support are finally collected and discussed.
A Commentary on Brief Therapy

This commentary argues that brief therapy is an overgeneralized term representing different treatment forms. Some critical differences are noted among the forms of brief therapy and between brief therapy and long-term therapy. Future efforts need to be directed to further clarify the work of college student psychotherapists and to better match a student's needs with the appropriate treatment.
General and specific cancer risk perceptions: how are they related?

Understanding how people construe and act upon cancer risk is important for efforts to target risk-increasing health behaviors. Importantly, research participants are often asked to estimate their risk for cancer (in general), which could mask the fact that cancer represents a range of diseases, and that different cancer types can have distinct risk factors. It is unclear whether individuals perceive general cancer risk as being comprised of an aggregation of risk for specific cancer sites, or whether general cancer risk perceptions reflect the specific type of cancer most salient to them. In this study, general cancer risk perceptions were regressed on specific risk perceptions for colon, lung, prostate (men only), and breast (women only), using data from a nationally representative sample. We found that among men and women, all forms of cancer predicted independent variance in estimates of general cancer risk. There were also stronger relationships between general risk perceptions and each specific risk perception than between any two specific risk perceptions, suggesting that individuals differentiate between specific cancers and general cancer risk. These findings offer some confidence that people’s estimates of general cancer risk take multiple cancer types into account.
A theory of manipulation and control for microfabricated actuator arrays

This paper investigates manipulation tasks with arrays of microelectromechanical structures (MEMS). We develop a model for the mechanics of microactuators and a theory of sensorless, parallel manipulation, and we describe efficient algorithms for their evaluation. The theory of limit surfaces offers a purely geometric characterization of micro-scale contacts between actuator and moving object, which can be used to efficiently predict the motion of the object on an actuator array. We develop a theory of sensorless manipulation with microactuator arrays. It is shown how simple actuator control strategies can be used to uniquely align a part up to symmetry. These manipulation strategies can be computed efficiently and do not require sensor feedback. This theory is applicable to a wide range of microactuator arrays. Our actuators are oscillating structures of single-crystal silicon fabricated in a low-temperature SCREAM process. They exhibit high aspect ratios and high vertical stiffness, which is of great advantage for an effective implementation of our theory. Calculations show that arrays of these actuators can generate forces that are strong enough to levitate and move e.g. a piece of paper.
Meeting knowledge management challenges through effective search

With the emergence of information- and knowledge-based economies, knowledge management has gained importance in organisations. It remains a challenge, with a typical mid-sized organisation quickly accumulating vast amounts of information. Trying to make sense of data and to search effectively forms a core part of this challenge. This paper aims to demonstrate that information providers and information finders must work hand-in-hand to achieve a 'Fit', leading to successful information finding by one of four categories of roles that finders assume. It is proposed that this 'Fit' can be achieved by combining a few or more of the following means: 1) taxonomy-based presentation/classification; 2) multiple views of the taxonomy; 3) personalisation; 4) usage of cues; and 5) usage of semantics. A search from the internet would also benefit from 6) localisation and 7) specialty search. Improved search and navigation arising from the Fit should enhance the efficacy of knowledge management in an organisation.
The apophasis of limits: genius, madness, and learning disability

The rock struck Aeneas on the groin where the hip turns in the joint that is called the ‘cup‐bone’. The stone crushed this joint, and broke both the sinews. (Homer/Murray, c.800 BCE/1999, V, 303ff. verse 32) For health and sickness, goodness or badness, the proportion or disproportion between soul and body themselves is more important than any other. … Just as a body that is out of proportion because the legs or some other members are too big, is not only ugly, but in the working of one part with another brings countless troubles upon itself with much fatigue and frequent falls due to awkward convulsive movement, so is it, we must suppose, with the composite creature we call an animal. (Plato/Cornford, c.360 BCE/1937, 87D–E, p. 350) The maiden answered him, ‘Good sir, he is a king, you may be sure, but in a battle he was lamed, So badly wounded, he was maimed, He cannot move and must have aid, Hurt by a wound a javelin made between his thighs, the king is still in such pain, it's impossible for him to ride, but when he wishes to spend some pleasant hours, he fishes, placed in a small boat at his sign, he fishes with a hook and line, so he is called the Fisher King, since fishing is the only thing to which the hurt king can resort for recreation and for sport. (De Troyes/Cline, c.1190/1985, p. 97) He accepted the deformity which had made life so hard for him; he knew that it had warped his character, but now he saw also that by reason of it he had acquired that power of introspection which had given him so much delight. Without it he would never have had his keen appreciation of beauty, his passion for art and literature, and his interest in the varied spectacle of life. … Then he saw that the normal was the rarest thing in the world. Everyone had some defect, of body or of mind …. (Maugham, 1915, p. 762)

Language Labs and Translation Booths: Simultaneous Interpretation as a Learner Task

In spite of the negative attitudes towards translation tasks in TEFL, the study reports successful outcomes for a TEFL module based on simultaneous oral translation from Arabic into English. The learners worked individually in a traditional language laboratory. Following preparatory work on an English narrative text, also conducted in the laboratory, they were required to do a simultaneous interpretation (SI) of the passage, i.e. to convey its content, in spoken English, in response to an Arabic version heard on the earphones. The results show that SI significantly improves learner performance and that it is an excellent tool for diagnosing learner competence in grammar and vocabulary. The paper examines the results, and suggests some reasons for the success of the method and possibilities for extending its use.

MAP as a Model for Practice-Based Learning and Improvement in Child Psychiatry Training

Not only is there a growing literature demonstrating the positive outcomes that result from implementing evidence based treatments (EBTs) but also studies that suggest a lack of delivery of these EBTs in “usual care” practices. One way to address this deficit is to improve the quality of psychotherapy teaching for clinicians-in-training. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires all training programs to assess residents in a number of competencies including Practice-Based Learning and Improvements (PBLI). This article describes the piloting of Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) for child psychiatry fellows, to teach them both EBT and PBLI skills. Eight child psychiatry trainees received 5 full days of MAP training and are delivering MAP in a year-long outpatient teaching clinic. In this setting, MAP is applied to the complex, multiply diagnosed psychiatric patients that present to this clinic. This article describes how MAP tools and resources assist in teaching trainees each of the eight required competency components of PBLI, including identifying deficits in expertise, setting learning goals, performing learning activities, conducting quality improvement methods in practice, incorporating formative feedback, using scientific studies to inform practice, using technology for learning, and participating in patient education. A case example illustrates the use of MAP in teaching PBLI. MAP provides a unique way to teach important quality improvement and practice-based learning skills to trainees while training them in important psychotherapy competence.
Target Word Detection and Semantic Role Chunking using Support Vector Machines

In this paper, the automatic labeling of semantic roles in a sentence is considered as a chunking task. We define a semantic chunk as the sequence of words that fills a semantic role defined in a semantic frame. It is straightforward to convert chunking into a tagging task using one of several IOB representations. Using this representation each word is tagged with I, which means that the word is inside a chunk, or with O, which means that the word is outside a chunk, or B, which means that the word is the beginning of a chunk. Tagging can also be seen as a multi-class classification problem. After recasting the multi-class problem as a number of binary-class problems, we use support vector machines to implement the binary classifiers. We explore two semantic chunking tasks. In the first task we simultaneously detect the target word and segments of semantic roles. In the second task, in addition, we label the semantic segments with their respective semantic role types. For both tasks, we present encouraging results of experiments carried out using the annotated FrameNet database.
Toxicity of pristine graphene in experiments in a chicken embryo model

Evaluation of the potential cytotoxicity of graphene is a key factor for medical applications, where flakes or a surface of graphene may be used as bioactive molecules, drug carriers, or biosensors. In the present work, effects of pristine graphene (pG) on the development of a living organism, with an emphasis on morphological and molecular states of the brain, were investigated using a chicken embryo model. Fertilized chicken eggs were divided into the control group and groups administered with pG suspended in milli-Q water at concentrations of 50 μg/L, 100 μg/L, 500 μg/L, 1,000 μg/L, 5,000 μg/L, and 10,000 μg/L (n=30 per group). The experimental solutions were injected in ovo into the albumin and then the eggs were incubated. After 19 days of incubation, the survival, weight of the body and organs, and blood serum biochemical indices were measured. The brain samples were collected for microscopic examination of brain ultrastructure and measurements of gene and protein expression. Survival of embryos was significantly decreased after treatment with pG, but the body and organ weights as well as biochemical indices were not affected. In all treatment groups, some atypical ultrastructures of the brain were observed, but they were not enhanced by the increasing concentrations of pG. Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen at the messenger ribonucleic acid level was downregulated, and the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive nuclei was significantly reduced in the 500–10,000 μg/L groups compared with the control group, indicating a decreased rate of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in the brain. The present results demonstrate some harmful effects of the applied pG flakes on the developing organism, including brain tissue, which ought to be considered prior to any medical applications.

A semantic approach to cross-disciplinary research collaboration

Along with the latest developments in ICT, more specifically Social Media and Web 2.0 tools, there is a tendency towards the use of online services in research and education. This is often referred to as Research 2.0 and Technology Enhanced Learning. Web 2.0 tools are especially useful in cases where experts from different disciplines want to collaborate. There is need for an integrated method that embeds these services in research and learning processes, because it is a laborious task for researchers and learners to check and use all varying types of tools and services. In this paper we explain a flexible model that uses state-of-the-art semantic technologies to model both structured and unstructured research data. The research data is extracted from many online resources and Social Media. We implement learning objects as an abstraction of the semantically modeled research data. We propose an environment that improves the scientific research and learning process by allowing researchers to efficiently browse the information and concepts represented as learning objects.
Time and Frequency Domain Analysis of Heart Rate Variability and their Correlations in Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequently characterized by autonomic nervous dysfunction. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has become a popular noninvasive tool for assessing the activities of autonomic nervous system (ANS). In this paper, changes in ANS activity are quantified by means of frequency and time domain analysis of R-R interval variability. Electrocardiograms (ECG) of 16 patients suffering from DM and of 16 healthy volunteers were recorded. Frequency domain analysis of extracted normal to normal interval (NN interval) data indicates significant difference in very low frequency (VLF) power, low frequency (LF) power and high frequency (HF) power, between the DM patients and control group. Time domain measures, standard deviation of NN interval (SDNN), root mean square of successive NN interval differences (RMSSD), successive NN intervals differing more than 50 ms (NN50 Count), percentage value of NN50 count (pNN50), HRV triangular index and triangular interpolation of NN intervals (TINN) also show significant difference between the DM patients and control group. Keywords—Autonomic nervous system, diabetes mellitus, frequency domain and time domain analysis, heart rate variability.
Balance and Perceived Confidence with Performance of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living: A Pilot Study of Tai Chi Inspired Exercise with Elderly Retirement-Community Dwellers

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine if Tai Chi Inspired Exercise (TCIE) positively impacts balance and confidence level during performance of activities of daily living (ADL) for well elderly. Method. Thirty-five independent elderly volunteers, 18 in the experimental group and 17 in the control group, participated in this study. The experimental group (mean age = 72.76) participated in a minimum of ten TCIE sessions over a six-week period. Pre-testing and post-testing occurred for both groups. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, Berg Balance Scale and Limits of Stability Assessment (LOS) established the baseline scores. These assessments quantified changes in the relationship between balance and confidence upon completion of the TCIE sessions. Results. Participants of the TCIE group scored significantly higher in the post scores of the ABC, Berg Balance Scale, and the LOS measures of Maximal Endpoint Excursion (MXE) and Forward. Conclusion. Tai Chi Inspired Exercise positively impacts balance and confidence levels during ADL performance for well elderly. This relationship may have future implications for balance training intervention with the elderly.
Inter-species variation in the oligomeric states of the higher plant Calvin cycle enzymes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoribulokinase

In darkened leaves the Calvin cycle enzymes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK) form a regulatory multi-enzyme complex with the small chloroplast protein CP12. GAPDH also forms a high molecular weight regulatory mono-enzyme complex. Given that there are different reports as to the number and subunit composition of these complexes and that enzyme regulatory mechanisms are known to vary between species, it was reasoned that protein–protein interactions may also vary between species. Here, this variation is investigated. This study shows that two different tetramers of GAPDH (an A2B2 heterotetramer and an A4 homotetramer) have the capacity to form part of the PRK/GAPDH/CP12 complex. The role of the PRK/GAPDH/CP12 complex is not simply to regulate the ‘non-regulatory’ A4 GAPDH tetramer. This study also demonstrates that the abundance and nature of PRK/GAPDH/CP12 interactions are not equal in all species and that whilst NAD enhances complex formation in some species, this is not sufficient for complex formation in others. Furthermore, it is shown that the GAPDH mono-enzyme complex is more abundant as a 2(A2B2) complex, rather than the larger 4(A2B2) complex. This smaller complex is sensitive to cellular metabolites indicating that it is an important regulatory isoform of GAPDH. This comparative study has highlighted considerable heterogeneity in PRK and GAPDH protein interactions between closely related species and the possible underlying physiological basis for this is discussed.
