Predicting method crashes with bytecode operations

Software monitoring systems have high performance overhead because they typically monitor all processes of the running program. For example, to capture and replay crashes, most current systems monitor all methods; thus yielding a significant performance overhead. Lowering the number of methods being monitored to a smaller subset can dramatically reduce this overhead. We present an approach that can help arrive at such a subset by reliably identifying methods that are the most likely candidates to crash in a future execution of the software. Our approach involves learning patterns from features of methods that previously crashed to classify new methods as crash-prone or non-crash-prone. An evaluation of our approach on two large open source projects, ASPECTJ and ECLIPSE, shows that we can correctly classify crash-prone methods with an accuracy of 80--86%. Notably, we found that the classification models can also be used for cross-project prediction with virtually no loss in classification accuracy. In a further experiment, we demonstrate how a monitoring tool, RECRASH could take advantage of only monitoring crash-prone methods and thereby, reduce its performance overhead and maintain its ability to perform its intended tasks.
An embodied perspective on anosognosia

In addition to impairments in episodic and spatial memory, a lack of awareness for one’s memory deficits (also referred to as anosognosia) may be considered a crucial cognitive marker of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, although a growing body of interesting models have been proposed to explain this early symptom, what is still missing is a unifying theoretical framework able to elucidate the complex mechanisms underlying anosognosia. To overcome this issue, it has been recently proposed by the experienced researcher of this project that anosognosia may be related to a break in the synchronization between spatial reference frames (i.e., the Mental Frame Syncing). Starting from these theoretical premises, rooted in neuroscience research field, the major objectives of this interdisciplinary proposal are: a) Investigating the role of “mental frame syncing” in explaining anosognosia in patients with early AD;  b) Designing and developing a new “embodied machine” for reducing symptoms of anosognosia; c) Testing the new “embodied machine” (VirtualSync) in a development-of-concept trial for AD patients suffering from anosognosia; d) Disseminating the activities of the project to the scientific/clinical community and to the general public.
Reply to J.N. Perry et al

Our respondents, eight current or former members of the EFSA GMO panel, focus on defending the EFSA's environmental risk assessment (ERA) procedures. In our article for EMBO reports , we actually focused on the proposed EU GMO legislative reform, especially the European Commission (EC) proposal's false political inflation of science, which denies the normative commitments inevitable in risk assessment (RA). Unfortunately the respondents do not address this problem. Indeed, by insisting that Member States enjoy freedom over risk management (RM) decisions despite the EFSA's central control over RA, they entirely miss the relevant point. This is the unacknowledged policy—normative commitments being made before, and during, not only after, scientific ERA. They therefore only highlight, and extend, the problem we identified.

The respondents complain that we misunderstood the distinction between RA and RM. We did not. We challenged it as misconceived and fundamentally misleading—as though only objective science defined RA, with normative choices cleanly confined to RM. Our point was that (i) the processes of scientific RA are inevitably shaped by normative commitments, which (ii) as a matter of institutional, …
Spin conversion, logic  storage in oxide-based electronics

Nowadays, among of the main challenges in the rational and efficient use of the energy, the energy harvesting, energy saving and energy conversion are key points in the research and application of electronic devices. The optimization of device performances making them more powerful with less energy consumption while keeping an affordable production cost is mandatory. The present project will address those challenges by means of designing suitable materials for implementing on devices able to reduce the energy consumption. Nanotechnology, Oxide and Superconducting Spintronics will be the competitive edge technologies triggering the interconnection and cooperation between international labs and technological companies, from Europe and overseas by means of sharing knowledge, cross-linked working and innovation, gaining capacities towards this mission. SPICOLOST project will tackle this challenge with two parallel approaches: i) with suitable heterostructures with high efficiency conversion of thermal energy in electricity, taking the advantage of harvesting, the so called thermoelectric thermopile device based on Seebeck and Spin Seebeck Effects; and ii) producing multicomponent nanostructured materials for magneto-electronic and superconducting devices capable of fast signal processing minimizing the energy dissipation by control the magnetic switching, and then consuming less energy. It is expected to produce advances in experimental fabrication processes, better control of interface properties of hybrid heterostructures and explaining them with suitable theoretical framework that conduct to novel discoveries due to the synergy between Superconducting and Spintronic.
Reclaiming cambodian dress and textile practices, identities, and collections under the khmer rouge (1970s-1980s): new approaches to archival materials of conflict

The TEX-KR project investigates the history of textiles and clothing in terms of practices and production during the destructive rise and ruling of the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime (1975-1979) in Cambodia. Working in the fields of history and anthropology associated to textiles, I will do so by exploring the textile collections of the country’s two leading cultural institutions: The National Museum of Cambodia (NMC) and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (TSGM). When NMC reopened in 1980 in the aftermath of the dictatorship, most of the staff had disappeared, and two-thirds of its ethnographic collection of silk and dance costumes had been lost to looting and environmental damages. TSGM was established as a memorial site and genocide museum on the secret KR prison site S-21 in Phnom Penh and left with thousands of textile and clothing remains that belonged to the prisoners. Looking at what has been lost and reclaimed in these two archives, as well as visible signs of tears and repairs on artefacts and acquisition histories, will help establish these remaining objects as crucial material embodiments and evidence of Cambodia’s dark heritage. Combining object-based study, archival research, and participatory methodologies, TEX-KR uses textile techniques, objects, and dress practices to provide a sensory material turn on Cambodian genocide studies, an overlooked aspect of scholarship to the present day. I will implement innovative outreach activities incorporating practice and oral history to engage different audiences, including weaving groups in Cambodia and immigrant women communities in Europe to explore the topic of textile making, memory, trauma, and displaced identity. Combining politics, heritage, history, this project is an incentive for memorialisation and transitional justice through textiles with the potential to devise a new research model transferable to other cultures of conflict owning textile collections.
Majorana networks

The aim of the proposed research project is to establish a new environment for the generation, study and manipulation of Majorana fermions, namely two dimensional electron gases embedded in III-V semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction. With respect to the nowadays approach, based on nanowires, two-dimensional materials will allow completely new sample design, paving the way for precise control and complex manipulation of Majorana modes. The ultimate goal will be the realization of multi-terminal networks, where the braiding statistics of Majorana fermions will be investigated. The success of the proposed project will constitute a key advancement for the use of Majorana fermions as tools for quantum computing applications. We will make use of recently developed tools and materials to solve the nowadays technical difficulties in taking experiments on Majorana fermions to a new level.
For our research, we will adopt InAs\InGaAs quantum wells, characterized by strong spin-orbit interaction and large Landé g-factor, coupled to superconducting electrodes. As shown by preliminary results, the quality of our InAs samples is unique in terms of mobility and gate stability. The researcher’s expertise in quantum transport is a good match to the wide experience of the host institution in terms of quantum computation and semiconductor/superconductor hybrid devices. The availability of the state of the art cryogenic equipment, including vector magnets, will allow to experimentally explore completely new regimes in condensed matter physics.
A review of the distribution of particulate trace elements in urban terrestrial environments and its application to considerations of risk

We review the evolution, state of the art and future lines of research on the sources, transport pathways, and sinks of particulate trace elements in urban terrestrial environments to include the atmosphere, soils, and street and indoor dusts. Such studies reveal reductions in the emissions of some elements of historical concern such as Pb, with interest consequently focusing on other toxic trace elements such as As, Cd, Hg, Zn, and Cu. While establishment of levels of these elements is important in assessing the potential impacts of human society on the urban environment, it is also necessary to apply this knowledge in conjunction with information on the toxicity of those trace elements and the degree of exposure of human receptors to an assessment of whether such contamination represents a real risk to the city's inhabitants and therefore how this risk can be addressed.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS IN ROMANIA AFTER EU ADHESION

T he aim of the present paper is to analyse the evolution of the foreign direct investments (FDI) attracted by Romania between 2007 and present, taking into consideration the fact that there were two main determinants during this period: Romania’s adhesion to European Union and the economic and financial crisis. Considering these aspects, the main objectives of the paper are to identify the way in which the FDI evolved in the period immediately after EU adhesion, by the sectors of activity, and to determine the impact of the economic crisis on the FDI attracted by Romania. In order to achieve these objectives, we have collected, tabulated and interpreted the data included in various statistical reports and databases. The results show that the relatively low unit labour cost, fiscal facilities, geographical location, large internal market and the adhesion to the EU made Romania become one of the most attractive countries from the Central and Eastern Europe for the foreign investors. However, the economic and financial crisis influenced the country’s development and, implicitly, the evolution of the foreign direct investments inflows, especially after 2009. Therefore, in Romania there was a negative trend of the FDI during the last three years, with slight signs of improvement in the end of 2011.

Biomimetic trick to re-balance osteblast-osteoclast loop in osteoporosis treatment: a topological and materials driven approach

One out of 5 people in their fifties will experience a bone fracture due to osteoporosis (OP)-induced fragility in their lifetime. The OP socio-economic burden is dramatic and involves tens of millions of people in the EU, with a steadily increasing number due to population ageing. Current treatments entail drug-therapy coupled with a healthy lifestyle but OP fractures need mechanical fixation to rapidly achieve union: the contribution of biomaterial scientists in this field is still far from taking its expected leading role in cutting-edge research. Bone remodelling is a well-coordinated process of bone resorption by osteoclasts followed by the production of new bone by osteoblasts. This process occurs continuously throughout life in a coupling with a positive balance during growth and negative with ageing, which can result in OP. We believe that an architecture driven stimulation of the osteoclast/osteoblast coupling, with an avant-garde focus on osteoclasts activity, is the key to success in treating unbalanced bone remodelling. We aim to manufacture a scaffold that mimics healthy bone features which will establish a new microenvironment favoring a properly stimulated and active population of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, i.e. a well-balanced bone cooperation. After 5 years we will be able to prove the efficacy of this approach. A benchmark will be set up for OP fracture treatment and for the realization of smart bone substitutes that will be able to locally “trick” aged bone cells stimulating them to act as healthy ones. BOOST results will have an unprecedented impact on the scientific research community, opening a new approach to set up smart, biomimetic strategies to treat aged, unbalanced bone tissues and to reduce OP-associated disabilities and financial burdens.

Higher: “high performance engine for light sport aircraft

HIGHER project will launch on the aviation market an innovative engine which will contribute to make small aircrafts and helicopters individual, diffused, sustainable and safe transport vehicles.
In order to reach this goal, the new engine conceived by Egimotors will ensure: 
- higher performance, thanks to the weight containment between 105 and 115 kg (20% lower than the average of the engines of the same power available today) coupled to an output of 200 hp and to a 4 valves-per-cylinder system that delivers high performance;
- lower purchase cost, thanks to simple design, limited dimensions and weight, and multiple potential applications with consequent advantages in construction costs that allow a lower retail price;
- lower operating costs, thanks to the possibility to use (in addition to AvGas) also MoGas (Automotive fuel) characterized by significantly lower cost. The study of thermodynamics matched to the geometry of the cylinder ducts was also designed to ensure a reduction of fuel consumption;
- higher reliability and safety, thanks to high-quality construction component, technical processes choices and careful assembly. EGM 4x4 mechanical components are less stressed and consequently have longer service life. The electronic ignition and injection system, completely redundant and validated by extensive bench tests, also ensures high reliability;
- lower environmental impact, thanks to in-depth study of the intake and exhaust gas system, which will be able to reduce fuel consumption and consequently pollution. 

In terms of business plan, the company strategy aims at selling in 5 years more then 500 engines, at a target price of 16,000 euro, with a turnover of about 3 millions per year since 2021 and a market share of 7%.
Mercury emission and plant uptake of trace elements during early stage of soil amendment using flue gas desulfurization materials

A pilot-scale field study was carried out to investigate the distribution of Hg and other selected elements (i.e., As, B, and Se), i.e., emission to ambient air, uptake by surface vegetation, and/or rainfall infiltration, after flue gas desulfurization (FGD) material is applied to soil. Three FGD materials collected from two power plants were used. Our results show Hg released into the air and uptake in grass from all FGD material-treated soils were all higher (P < 0.1) than the amounts observed from untreated soil. Hg in the soil amended with the FGD material collected from a natural oxidation wet scrubber (i.e., SNO) was more readily released to air compared to the other two FGD materials collected from the synthetic gypsum dewatering vacuum belt (i.e., AFO-gypsum) and the waste water treatment plant (i.e., AFO-CPS) of a forced oxidation FGD system. No Hg was detected in the leachates collected during the only 3-hour, 1-inch rainfall event that occurred throughout the 4-week testing period. For every kilogram of FGD material applied to soil, AFO-CPS released the highest amount of Hg, B, and Se, followed by SNO, and AFO gypsum. Based on the same energy production rate, the land application of SNO FGD material from Plant S released higher amounts of Hg and B into ambient air and/or grass than the amounts released when AFO-gypsum from Plant A was used. Using FGD material with lower concentration levels of Hg and other elements of concern does not necessary post a lower environmental risk. In addition, this study demonstrates that considering only the amounts of trace elements uptake in surface vegetation may under estimate the overall release of the trace elements from FGD material-amended soils. It also shows, under the same soil amendment conditions, the mobility of trace elements varies when FGD materials produced from different processes are used.
