Detecting Code Smells in Android Applications

Code smells are patterns in programming code which indicate potential issues with software quality. Previous research resulted in the development of code smell detectors: automated tools which traverse through large quantities of code and return smell detections to software developers. The Android platform has become very popular over the years but is relatively new in terms of scientific research. This research investigates the detection perfor- mance of existing detectors, that were not designed with Android in mind, on a dataset of Android apps. In addition, multiple smell detectors and source code metrics are combined in a machine learning approach to develop an Android-specific smell detector.
Mass Loss from Low‐ and Intermediate‐mass Stars

Low‐ and intermediate‐mass single stars (LIMS) have initial masses M<∼6−7 M⊙. They end up as white dwarfs of ∼0.6−1.4 M⊙, the rest of their mass being lost during their nuclear‐burning lifetimes. Stellar pulsation theory can be used to estimate current (as opposed to initial) stellar masses and can be used to trace accumulated mass loss when the initial mass is known. Some examples are given for RR Lyrae stars, first giant branch (FGB) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, and Cepheid variables. Most of the mass loss from LIMS is thought to occur on the FGB and AGB, although it has been argued that pulsation masses derived for Cepheids suggest that there is significant mass loss in earlier evolutionary phases. Direct estimates of mass loss rates can also be used to estimate the amounts of mass lost from LIMS. Some recent Spitzer‐based estimates of mass loss rates for AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds are discussed. Finally, binary and variable AGB stars that may be related to asymmetic mass loss such .
Efficient Reconstruction of User Sessions from HTTP Traces for Rich Internet Applications

The generated HTTP traffic of users’ interactions with a Web application can be logged for further analysis. In this thesis, we present the “Session Reconstruction” problem that is the reconstruction of user interactions from recorded request/response logs of a session. The reconstruction is especially useful when the only available information about the session is its HTTP trace, as could be the case during a forensic analysis of an attack on a website. New Web technologies such as AJAX and DOM manipulation have provided more responsive and smoother Web applications, sometimes called “Rich Internet Applications”(RIAs). Despite the benefits of RIAs, the previous session reconstruction methods for traditional Web applications are not effective anymore. Recovering information from a log in RIAs is significantly more challenging as compared with classical Web applications, because the HTTP traffic contains often only application data and no obvious clues about what the user did to trigger that traffic. This thesis studies applying different techniques for efficient reconstruction of RIA sessions. We define the problem in the context of the client/server applications, and propose a solution for it. We present different algorithms to make the session reconstruction possible in practice: learning mechanisms to guide the session reconstruction process efficiently, techniques for recovering user-inputs and handling client-side randomness, and also algorithms for detections of actions that do not generate any HTTP traffic. In addition, to further reduce the session reconstruction time, we propose a distributed architecture to concurrently reconstruct a RIA session over several nodes. To measure the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms, a prototype called D-ForenRIA is implemented. The prototype is made of a proxy and a set of browsers. Browsers are responsible for trying candidate actions on each state, and the proxy, which contains the observed HTTP trace, is responsible for responding to browsers’ requests and validating attempted actions on each state. We have used this tool to measure the effectiveness of the proposed techniques during session reconstruction process. The results of our evaluation on several RIAs show that the proposed solution can efficiently reconstruct use-sessions in practice.
The Sound of Silent Film in Spain: Heterogeneity and homeopatía escénica

This article discusses the period of 'silent' film, from the first exhibition of the Lumière Brothers' Cinématograph in Madrid in 1896 to the arrival of talkies in the late 1920s. Spanish film historians had little interest in this subject, often covering the whole subject of musical accompaniment of silent film in a few lines. However, this was a diverse period in which various experiments took place, driven by different concepts of what sound could accompany motion pictures, and by different motivations. It is important to recognise this heterogeneity.The new cinematographic shows initially existed in the context of various forms of popular entertainment deeply rooted in the population. In order to breathe new life into the cinema, operators needed to 'inject' a dose of theatre to survive. This 'homeopathic' approach resulted in hybrid and heterogeneous events in which new realities combined with the already established forms of entertainment.
A review on softwares and databases for analysis of metal binding sites in proteins

Article history: Received 10 October 2014 Received in revised form 12 December 2014 Accepted 16 December 2014 Bioinformatics, as an interdisciplinary science, seeks to find various biological issues in molecular level using available techniques in computer science, mathematics, chemistry, physics and other relevant sciences. One part of this science concerns the sequences and proteins absorbing metals in which many softwares and servers are widely used for bioinformatics prediction. More than half of proteins in Protein Data Bank possess metals and thus it expected that most of these proteins are metalloproteins. Metals are necessary for proteins function and structure. Since metal ions are essential in too many biological functions, mainly in metalloproteins, finding metalloproteins is of great importance in the biological and medical fields. Metal binding site prediction is considered as a step in function assignment for new proteins. In this review, we tried to study softwares and servers which are found to be pioneer in finding metal binding sites in proteins and introduce them briefly. In this way, the importance of metal ions is explained and then the binding sites of proteins like CHDEs have been partly introduced.
Time to switch to second-line antiretroviral therapy in children with HIV in Europe and Thailand

Background: Global data on durability of first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in children with HIV is limited. We assessed time to switch to second-line therapy in 16 European countries and Thailand. Methods: Children <18-years initiating combination ART (≥2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) plus non-NRTI (NNRTI) or boosted-protease inhibitor (PI)) were included. Switch to second-line was defined as: (i) change across drug class (PI to NNRTI or vice versa) or within PI-class plus change of ≥1 NRTI; (ii) change from single to dual PI; or (iii) addition of a new drug class. Cumulative incidence of switch was calculated with death and loss-to-follow-up as competing risks. Results: Of 3,668 children included, median [IQR] age at ART initiation was 6.1 [1.7,10.5] years. Initial regimens were 32% PI, 34% nevirapine (NVP), 33% efavirenz-based. Median duration of follow-up from ART start was 5.4 [2.9,8.3] years. Cumulative incidence of switch at 5 years was 21% (95% CI 20, 23), with lowest incidence in Russia/Ukraine and highest in UK/Ireland. Median time to switch was 30 [15, 58] months, two-thirds of switches were related to treatment failure. In multivariable analysis, older age, severe immunosuppression and higher viral load at ART start, and NVP-based initial regimens were associated with increased risk of switch. Among those switched, 65% had viral load <400c/mL at 12-months after start of second-line ART. Conclusions: One in five children switched to second-line by 5 years of ART, with two-thirds failure related. Advanced HIV, older age and NVP-based regimens were associated with increased risk of switch.
Performing the tango's dual life: Immigrant tales from the field

In recent years, the tango has become a quintessential artistic form that has achieved worldwide popularity due to the globalization of exotic music and dancing, the blooming of international entertainment economies, and the flourishing of worldwide tourism. Born in Argentina more than a century ago, the tango has also recently experienced a revival in its home land, encouraged by Buenos Aires' renaissance as the tango's capital, and the increasing number of Argentine artists, as well as amateur dancers and singers, trying fortune in the tango field either at home or abroad (Viladrich 2004). In this essay, I introduce the concept of dual lives to examine the contradictory lives of female tango artists as both tango performers and struggling immigrants in New York City (NYC). In particular, this article will explore the life history of Flor, whose personal career as an elderly tango singer in NYC conveys the multiple jeopardies faced by disenfranchised immigrants in the city. While most younger tango artists are dancers, older artists (both men and women) are singers and musicians. And contrary to the flamboyant images of tango performers as icons of perpetual youth and uncanny passionate embraces, immigrants like Flor embody the lives and hardships of many other older female immigrants, who still hope to
3D in Depth: Coraline, Hugo, and a Sustainable Aesthetic

Digital 3D presents a rare opportunity to study the aesthetic impact of a new technology. In the face of its ever-diminishing novelty, filmmakers are seeking a sustainable formal response to 3D. Some are moving away from protrusion effects, which are associated with disruptive gimmickry, and exploring depth as a means of extending the technology's narrative reach. This style, exemplified by Henry Selick's Coraline (2009) and Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011), courts narrative integration and critical acceptance by downplaying protrusion in favor of precise manipulations of perspective and volume. The essay argues against the concept of perceptual immersion as an explanatory framework for 3D, and focuses instead on the prospects for diegetic absorption.
Efficient classification of complex ontologies

Description logics (DLs) are knowledge representation languages that provide the theoretical underpinning for modern ontology languages such as OWL and serve as the basis for the development of ontology reasoners. The task of ontology classification is to compute the subsumption relationships between all pairs of atomic concepts in an ontology, which is the foundation for other ontology reasoning problems. There are two types of mainstream reasoners to perform ontology classification: 1) tableau-based reasoners usually support very expressive DLs, but they may not be efficient for large and highly cyclic ontologies. 2) consequencebased reasones are typically significantly faster than tableau-based reasoners, but they support less expressive DLs. It is difficult to extend the consequence-based reasoners directly to support more expressive DLs. In the present thesis, we propose a weakening and strengthening based approach for ontology classification, which aims to extend the capability of an efficient reasoner for a less expressive base language Lb (Lb-reasoner) to support a more expressive language. The approach approximates the target ontology by a weakened version and a strengthened version in Lb. Their subsumptions are a subset and a superset of the subsumptions of the target ontology. There are two cases:
Bruno Dumont's Twentynine Palms: The avant-garde as tragedy?

ABSTRACT In 1970, Michelangelo Antonioni took the viewers of Zabriskie Point into the Californian desert, where he—with sympathy—explored the much-observed avant-garde correlation between transgression and emancipation. Thirty-three years later, the viewers of Bruno Dumont's Twentynine Palms (2003) were taken on a similar journey, but now Antonioni's emancipatory optimism had been replaced by self-destructive violence. This article examines the relation between Dumont's film and the avant-garde, and it argues that the power of Twentynine Palms lies in attempting to force a way from transgression to emancipation—and in failing to reach this goal.
Essential CVS

CVS, the Concurrent Versions System, is the popular source-code management tool that frees developers from the chaos that too often ensues when multiple users work on the same file. An open source technology that is available on most computer platforms, including Windows and Mac OS X, CVS is widely used to manage program code, web site content, and to track changes made to system configuration files. Multiple users can check out files from a directory tree, make changes, and then commit those changes back into the directory. If two developers modify the same file, CVS enables both sets of changes to be merged together into one final file. Although CVS is a lifesaver in many development scenarios, it suffers from poor documentation. But with Essential CVS, developers can have it all: the order that CVS brings and the comprehensive documentation developers need. Essential CVS is a complete and easy-to-follow reference that helps programmers and system administrators apply order to the task of managing large quantities of documents. The book covers basic concepts and usage of CVS, and features a comprehensive reference for CVS commands--including a handy Command Reference Card for quick, on-the-job checks. The book also includes advanced information on all aspects of CVS that involve automation, logging, branching and merging, and "watches. " Readers will find in-depth coverage of the following: Installing CVS and building your first repository Basic use of CVS, including importing projects, checking out projects, committing changes, and updating projects Tagging, branching and merging Working with multiple users Clients, operating systems, and IDEs Repository management and managing remote repositories Project administration, including bug tracking systems, enforcing log messages, history and annotation, and more. Troubleshooting Version control is essential to maintaining order in any project, large or small. Any CVS user, from beginners to team leaders and system administrators, will find this practical guide to CVS indispensable in getting the most from this valuable tool.
Personalised care in patients with chronic pain disorders: educational implications from a population-based study

ABSTRACT Background: Personalised care offers psychological benefits to patients with chronic pain disorders. However, it is unclear which patient groups are prioritised, and which ones may require additional educational support in dealing with the psychological impact of chronic pain. Aim: To assess the relationship between having a chronic pain disorder and the likelihood of being offered a personalised care plan, and also identify underlying psychological vulnerabilities. Method: Bootstrapping was performed on data from 3717 respondents to the 2014 Health Survey for England. Participants were predominantly female (55.4%) and had a chronic pain disorder: (a) mental illness (anxiety, depression), (b) arthritis, rheumatism, fibrositis, (c) back problems, slipped disc, neck, and (d) other unspecified rheumatic problems (bones, joints, muscles). Results: Personalised care plans were more likely to be offered to patients with mental health disorders, and experiencing specific psychological issues around feelings of usefulness (Effect = 0.026, 95% CI = 0.001–0.051), decisiveness (Effect = 0.030, 95% CI = 0.008–0.057), and optimism about the future (Effect = −0.028, 95% CI = −0.046 to −0.012). By contrast, patients with arthritis, rheumatism, fibrositis, and other unspecified rheumatic problems (bones, joints, muscles), were less likely to be offered personalised care. Conclusion: Patients with a rheumatic condition, or other problems of bones, joints, and muscles, might require additional educational support in dealing with the emotional and psychological impact of living with a chronic pain disorder. This should include referral to structured patient education programmes that help improve self-management skills for chronic pain disorders.

Segmentation, regroupement et classification pour l'analyse d'image polarimétrique radar

Radar remote sensing images are characterized by an important multiplicative noise, the speckle. The polarization of the wave is used to obtain more information about the ground target. The scattering type is obtained from the signal decomposition : volume, surface or double bond. The objective of the thesis is to show and illustrate the advantages of the hierarchical segmentation and clustering for the analysis of polarimetric radar images. Filtering is needed to reduce the noise in H/A/alpha classification. We propose to use the hierarchical segmentation and the hierarchical clustering for a first grouping of the pixels. This produces a simple image while preserving the spatial information. The results of H/A/alpha classification and Wishart clustering are improved with this preprocessing. Two polarimetric images SAR are used for the study.
Generating function technique in complex networks

Complex network is a useful tool in describing the interactions between different agents of a complex system, and has attracted considerable interest recently. There are various approaches to studying the structure and dynamic of complex networks for the diverse and complicated connectivity structure. One more applicable theoretical approach is the generating function technique, which is useful for the studies of network structure and dynamic, especially for tree-like networks. In this paper, we will give a summary of the basic ideas of this approach, and explore the structure of networks. A cascading failures model we have proposed before will also be presented as an application of this approach.
OPTIMIZATION IN DESIGN OF UNIT HEAD MACHINES WITH A MOBILE TABLE

Abstract A problem of design of manufacturing processes for unit head machines with a mobile table is considered. Operations are partitioned into blocks. Operations of the same block are performed by one spindle head. All spindle heads of the same working position are activated simultaneously. Constraints related to the design of spindle heads and working positions, as well as precedence constraints related to operations, are given. The problem consists in minimizing the total number of working positions and spindle heads, while reaching a given cycle time and satisfying all constraints. The proposed method to solve the problem is based on its reduction to a constrained shortest path problem. An industrial example is presented.
Diagnostic Value of Serum Syndecan-1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with Hepatitis C virus in Egyptian Patients

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can benefit from tumor biomarkers’ diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic capabilities. There is a need for the use of accurate, rapid and inexpensive tumor marker with ultrasonography and computer tomography in appropriate diagnosis of HCC. The present study was designed to investigate the potential role of syndecan-1 as a diagnostic and prognostic, non-invasive biomarker for HCC. Also, to assess its accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in comparison with the usual recommended biomarker α-fetoprotein (AFP). This study is a cross sectional case–control study. The study included 45 patients with HCC associated with chronic HCV infection. In addition, 20 healthy subjects were included as a control group. AFP and syndecan-1were determined by enzyme immunoassay. Syndecan-1 serum level showed significantly marked elevation in HCC patients compared to control subjects (P<0.001). Analytical correlation study revealed highly significant positive correlation between syndecan-1 serum level with older patient over 55 years old , larger tumor size more than 2.5 cm and the presence of ascites ( P<0.001). Moreover, there was statistically significant increase in syndecan-1 levels in advanced Child-Pugh classifications (P<0.001). For determination the best diagnostic performance level of syndecan-1 represented by cut off value, receiver operative curve was drawn (ROC). Cut off point level were 4241 pg/ml with sensitivity 99.8% and 85% specificity. We conclude that syndecan-1 is an accurate biomarker in the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC, since its level is elevated in HCC patients and correlated with tumor size, patients over 55 years old, larger tumor size more than 2.5 cm, the presence of ascites and different stages of HCC. Further studies on large groups of patients are required to validate these results. Keywords: HCC, Syndecan-1, α-fetoprotein
Transport of wireless video using separate, concatenated, and joint source-channel coding

The transmission of video over time-varying wireless communication channels can benefit from the use of joint source-channel (JSC) coding methods. We survey relevant research in JSC code design and discuss how this work can be used for video compression and transmission. A main focus is the use of estimation-based techniques to take advantage of the residual redundancy present at the output of the source encoder. As noted in previous work, the combination of the source encoder and channel can often be modeled as a hidden Markov model. This statistical framework is the basis for state estimation and minimum mean-square error estimation procedures for JSC decoding, and it can also be used to develop channel state and channel parameter estimation methods. We discuss these approaches, along with work that also incorporates modulation, channel coding, and rate allocation within the JSC design. The integration of these methods into video compression standards is considered.
