SOFTWARE FAULT PREDICTION: A REVIEW

Software defect prediction in software engineering is one of the most interesting research fields. To improve the quality and reliability of the software in less time and in minimum cost, it is the most relevant key area where various researchers have been done. When the size and complexity of software increases then faults prediction in the software became more difficult. To maintain the high level of quality of the software, there is need of a model or system which can classify the software in two prone modules as faulty and non-faulty prone. In the process of predicting faulty and non-faulty prone, the prediction of faulty prone modules incurs more cost and time than prediction of non-faulty prone modules. In this literature survey, the process of defect prediction is analyzed. There are different techniques to predict faults and evaluate performance of the predictors. These predictors may be a model, system, techniques or algorithm. In this review it is studied that what type of progress has been done up to now and which type of software metrics have been used to design the fault predictor. It is also discuss about the cross project fault prediction which are more demanding in today's scenario.
Quantum mirror symmetry and twistors

Using the twistor approach to hypermultiplet moduli spaces, we derive the worldsheet, D(-1), and D1-instanton contributions to the generalized mirror map, relating Type IIA and Type IIB string theory compactified on generic mirror Calabi-Yau threefolds. For this purpose, we provide a novel description of the twistor space underlying the Type IIB hypermultiplet moduli space where the SL(2, )-action is found to be free from quantum corrections. The extent to which instanton effects may resolve the perturbative singularities of the moduli space metric is discussed.
Apples to apples: improving the performance of motif finders and their significance analysis in the Twilight Zone

MOTIVATION Effective algorithms for finding relatively weak motifs are an important practical necessity while scanning long DNA sequences for regulatory elements. The success of such an algorithm hinges on the ability of its scoring function combined with a significance analysis test to discern real motifs from random noise. RESULTS In the first half of the paper we show that the paradigm of relying on entropy scores and their E-values can lead to undesirable results when searching for weak motifs and we offer alternate approaches to analyzing the significance of motifs. In the second half of the paper we reintroduce a scoring function and present a motif-finder that optimizes it that are more effective in finding relatively weak motifs than other tools.

Japan's Industrial Relations

Until now, "lifetime employment" or the "intrafirm labor market" has been emphasized as the distinctive mark of Japanese industrial relations. We can express this in other words as career internalization. But when we make a comparison with the organized sector of America's heavy industries, it is difficult to say that that is peculiar to Japan. Career internalization itself, as far as the organized sectors of the heavy industries of both countries are concerned, has been recognized as common to both. Nonetheless, on that common ground there still are noteworthy differences. According to my observations up to now, they can be summarized as the following six.
Rivaroxaban in antiphospholipid syndrome (RAPS) protocol: a prospective, randomized controlled phase II/III clinical trial of rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome, with or without SLE

Introduction The current mainstay of the treatment of thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is long-term anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as warfarin. Non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs), which include rivaroxaban, have been shown to be effective and safe compared with warfarin for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in major phase III prospective, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), but the results may not be directly generalizable to patients with APS. Aims The primary aim is to demonstrate, in patients with APS and previous VTE, with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), that the intensity of anticoagulation achieved with rivaroxaban is not inferior to that of warfarin. Secondary aims are to compare rates of recurrent thrombosis, bleeding and the quality of life in patients on rivaroxaban with those on warfarin. Methods Rivaroxaban in antiphospholipid syndrome (RAPS) is a phase II/III prospective non-inferiority RCT in which eligible patients with APS, with or without SLE, who are on warfarin, target international normalized ratio (INR) 2.5 for previous VTE, will be randomized either to continue warfarin (standard of care) or to switch to rivaroxaban. Intensity of anticoagulation will be assessed using thrombin generation (TG) testing, with the primary outcome the percentage change in endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) from randomization to day 42. Other TG parameters, markers of in vivo coagulation activation, prothrombin fragment 1.2, thrombin antithrombin complex and D-dimer, will also be assessed. Discussion If RAPS demonstrates i) that the anticoagulant effect of rivaroxaban is not inferior to that of warfarin and ii) the absence of any adverse effects that cause concern with regard to the use of rivaroxaban, this would provide sufficient supporting evidence to make rivaroxaban a standard of care for the treatment of APS patients with previous VTE, requiring a target INR of 2.5.
Hair Shape Modeling from Video Captured Images and CT Data

We propose a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method of human hair-shape from rotating head multiple video captured images and CT data. It is well known that no hair is present on the polygonal skin surface of the human head (3D-head) reconstructed from CT or MRI data. Our task is to reconstruct and add the hairshape on the 3D-head to create a realistic human head model for simulating post-surgical facial expressions. Using a sculpturing technique based upon rotating head images we propose a method of reconstructing the hairshape with the help of 3D-head. We have utilized binarized voxel data of the 3D-head (solid-head) in this regard. The sculpturing object in our definition is the solid-head surrounded by assumed thick hair-voxels. We sculpture the surrounding hair-voxels according to the extracted hair-region from the video captured images while keeping the internal solid-head intact. We reconstruct the concave and semi-occluded regions by digging up to the visible skin surface of the solid-head in/near the hair region. We define complete-head as the 3D polygonal surface obtained from solid-head including the residue-sculptured hair-voxels on it. Experimentally we have shown that our method can successfully reconstruct the concave and semi-occluded regions in the skin-hair junction regions, which is not easy to reconstruct by the conventional way.
Polarization-based inverse rendering from a single view

This paper presents a method to estimate geometrical, photometrical, and environmental information of a single-viewed object in one integrated framework under fixed viewing position and fixed illumination direction. These three types of information are important to render a photorealistic image of a real object. Photometrical information represents the texture and the surface roughness of an object, while geometrical and environmental information represent the 3D shape of an object and the illumination distribution, respectively. The proposed method estimates the 3D shape by computing the surface normal from polarization data, calculates the texture of the object from the diffuse only reflection component, determines the illumination directions from the position of the brightest intensity in the specular reflection component, and finally computes the surface roughness of the object by using the estimated illumination distribution.
The Mutational Landscape of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Reveals an Interacting Network of Co-Occurrences and Recurrent Mutations

Preliminary Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) whole exome sequencing (WES) studies have identified a huge number of somatic mutations affecting more than a hundred different genes mainly in a non-recurrent manner, suggesting that APL is a heterogeneous disease with secondary relevant changes not yet defined. To extend our knowledge of subtle genetic alterations involved in APL that might cooperate with PML/RARA in the leukemogenic process, we performed a comprehensive analysis of somatic mutations in APL combining WES with sequencing of a custom panel of targeted genes by next-generation sequencing. To select a reduced subset of high confidence candidate driver genes, further in silico analysis were carried out. After prioritization and network analysis we found recurrent deleterious mutations in 8 individual genes (STAG2, U2AF1, SMC1A, USP9X, IKZF1, LYN, MYCBP2 and PTPN11) with a strong potential of being involved in APL pathogenesis. Our network analysis of multiple mutations provides a reliable approach to prioritize genes for additional analysis, improving our knowledge of the leukemogenesis interactome. Additionally, we have defined a functional module in the interactome of APL. The hypothesis is that the number, or the specific combinations, of mutations harbored in each patient might not be as important as the disturbance caused in biological key functions, triggered by several not necessarily recurrent mutations.
Medaka Receptors for Somatolactin and Growth Hormone: Phylogenetic Paradox Among Fish Growth Hormone Receptors

Somatolactin (SL) in fish belongs to the growth hormone/prolactin family. Its ortholog in tetrapods has not been identified and its function(s) remains largely unknown. The SL-deficient mutant of medaka (color interfere, ci) and an SL receptor (SLR) recently identified in salmon provide a fascinating field for investigating SL's function(s) in vivo. Here we isolated a medaka ortholog of the salmon SLR. The mRNA is transcribed in variable organs. Triglycerides and cholesterol contents in the ci are significantly higher than those in the wild type, providing the first evidence of SL's function in suppressing lipid accumulation to organs. Interestingly, phylogenetic comparisons between the medaka SLR and growth hormone receptor (GHR), which is also isolated in this study, in relation to GHRs of other fish, suggested that all GHRs reported from nonsalmonid species are, at least phylogenetically, SLRs. An extra intron inserted in medaka and pufferfish SLRs and flounder and sea bream GHRs also supports their orthologous relationship, but not with tetrapod GHRs. These results may indicate lineage-specific diversification of SLR and GHR functions among fish or just an inappropriate naming of these receptors. Further functional and comparative reassessments are necessary to address this question.
Protocol in Transaction-Oriented Applications

In group communications, larger computation and communication are consumed to causally order all the messages transmitted in the network. Transactions in clients manipulate objects in servers by sending read and write requests to the servers. In this paper, we define significant messages by using the relation among the transactions. We newly propose an object vector to causally order only the significant messages. The scheme of the object vector is invariant in the change of the group membership. We also show a TBCO (transaction-based causally ordered) protocol which adopts the object vector, by which the number of messages to be causally ordered are reduced.
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience Integrative Neuroscience Review Article Clinical Field Related to Sensory Integration Description of the Disorder

1966a, 1972b). Ayres labeled the theory sensory integration theory, the assessments she developed tests of sensory integration, the clinical disorder sensory integration dysfunction, and the treatment she founded sensory integration treatment. Because the clinical and the neuroscience fi elds both use the term sensory integration, understanding the specifi c meanings intended by each fi eld is critical. This article focuses on clarifying the construct of sensory integration as used by the clinical fi eld and how translational research could elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms , objectify the diagnostic criteria, and support the evaluation of treatment effectiveness. Collaboration between clinical and basic sciences has the potential to improve the quality of life for those with SPD and their families, as well as provide insight into central nervous system functioning. Sensory processing disorder is a heterogeneous condition that includes a variety of subtypes. Individuals with the disorder have impaired responses to, processing of, and/or organization of sensory information that effects participation in functional daily life routines and activities. Although the clinical fi eld is not completely unifi ed in how to defi ne the subtypes of SPD, a new nosology hypothesizes six subtypes (Miller, 2006; Miller et al., 2007a). Recent feature analysis and mathematical modeling sug
Implementation of Bridgeless Cuk Power Factor Corrector With Positive Output Voltage

A single-phase bridgeless Cuk ac/dc power factor correction (PFC) rectifier with positive output voltage is proposed in this paper. For low output voltage product applications, the rectifier is designed to convert high input voltage to low output voltage. Due to no bridge diodes required and thus decreased input conduction losses, the proposed rectifier efficiency can be improved. The proposed rectifier operates in discontinuous conduction mode, and the current-loop circuit is hence not needed. In addition, only a single switch is used in the rectifier to simplify the control circuit design. A simple translation method to have the positive output voltage in the Cuk converter is presented in the rectifier to reduce the component counts and the cost. The operational principles, steady-state analysis, and design procedure of the proposed rectifier are addressed in detail in this paper. Simulation and experimental results obtained from a 150-W rated prototype circuit with input of 90-130 Vrms, 60 Hz, and output of 48 Vdc have verified the validity of the proposed rectifier.
On the performance of unlicensed data access systems

Unlicensed operation has become a viable alternative for building wireless access infrastructures. In the future unlicensed operation may be an important part of the infrastructure. However even if many problems can be solved there are many challenges involved as well. This paper studies how two operators interact when they have two networks in the same geographical area. Data traffic (packets) is studied for two frequency hopping systems under different conditions. Different propagation, user requirements and for different amounts of available spectrum. The outcome is highly situation dependent. This study does not find a technical solution that is better than splitting the spectrum. However unlicensed operation may have other benefits than the technical characteristics that makes it a candidate for future wireless systems.
Deep Sequencing Reveals Novel MicroRNAs and Regulation of MicroRNA Expression during Cell Senescence

In cell senescence, cultured cells cease proliferating and acquire aberrant gene expression patterns. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression through translational repression or mRNA degradation and have been implicated in senescence. We used deep sequencing to carry out a comprehensive survey of miRNA expression and involvement in cell senescence. Informatic analysis of small RNA sequence datasets from young and senescent IMR90 human fibroblasts identifies many miRNAs that are regulated (either up or down) with cell senescence. Comparison with mRNA expression profiles reveals potential mRNA targets of these senescence-regulated miRNAs. The target mRNAs are enriched for genes involved in biological processes associated with cell senescence. This result greatly extends existing information on the role of miRNAs in cell senescence and is consistent with miRNAs having a causal role in the process.
Inventory classification based on decoupling points

The ideal state of continuous one-piece flow may never be achieved. Still the logistics manager can improve the flow by carefully positioning inventory to buffer against variations. Strategies such as lean, postponement, mass customization, and outsourcing all rely on strategic positioning of decoupling points to separate forecast-driven from customer-order-driven flows. Planning and scheduling of the flow are also based on classification of decoupling points as master scheduled or not. A comprehensive classification scheme for these types of decoupling points is introduced. The approach rests on identification of flows as being either demand based or supply based. The demand or supply is then combined with exogenous factors, classified as independent, or endogenous factors, classified as dependent. As a result, eight types of strategic as well as tactical decoupling points are identified resulting in a process-based framework for inventory classification that can be used for flow design.
Service Oriented Middleware for the Formation and Operation of Virtual Organisations : The GOLD Project

We have currently designed a set of middleware technologies which are being implemented to address issues such as trust, security, contract management and monitoring, information management and others to enable virtual collaboration between companies. In this paper we discuss the generic set middleware mechanisms we have implemented for enabling a virtual organization to operate as well as tools for designing and managing VO’s. We also draw attention to the requirements we gathered for the infrastructure, the majority of which stemmed from our industrial experience and interviews with chemical development companies. © 2006 University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Strategies for an effective tobacco harm reduction policy in Indonesia

Tobacco consumption is a major causative agent for various deadly diseases such as coronary artery disease and cancer. It is the largest avoidable health risk in the world, causing more problems than alcohol, drug use, high blood pressure, excess body weight or high cholesterol. As countries like Indonesia prepare to develop national policy guidelines for tobacco harm reduction, the scientific community can help by providing continuous ideas and a forum for sharing and distributing information, drafting guidelines, reviewing best practices, raising funds, and establishing partnerships. We propose several strategies for reducing tobacco consumption, including advertisement interference, cigarette pricing policy, adolescent smoking prevention policy, support for smoking cessation therapy, special informed consent for smokers, smoking prohibition in public spaces, career incentives, economic incentives, and advertisement incentives. We hope that these strategies would assist people to avoid starting smoking or in smoking cessation.

Cross Language Text Retrieval: A Review

The World Wide Web has evolved into a tremendous source of information and it continues to grow at exponent rate. Now a day’s web servers are storing different types of contents in different languages and their usage is increasing rapidly. According to Online Computer Library Center, English is still a dominant language in the Web. Only small percentage of population is familiar with English language and they can express their queries in English to access the content in a right way. Due to globalization, content storage and retrieval must be possible in all languages, which is essential for developing nations like India. Diversity of languages is becoming great barrier to understand and enjoy the benefits in digital world. Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) is a subfield of Information retrieval; user can retrieve the objects in a language different from the language of query expressed. These objects may be text documents, passages, audio or video and images. Cross Language Text Retrieval (CLTR) is used to return text documents in a language other than query language. CLTR technique allows crossing the language barrier and accessing the web content in an efficient way. This paper reviews some types of translations carried out in CLTR, ranking methods used in retrieval of documents and some of their related works. It also discusses about various approaches and their evaluation measures used in various applications.
