Refactoring
Test smells

description: Refactoring simplifies the internal aspects of the software without modifying its external behavior, improving the quality of the production code. In order to ensure that the software functionalities are not modified during the refactoring, developers can write and execute tests to validate the refactoring transformations. However, the test code quality, i.e., design and writing standards, is not commonly prioritized within development teams. In this sense, test code anti-patterns, called test smells, can harm the software testing understanding and maintenance. Test smells usually manifest collectively, and their co-occurrence might indicate a need to refactor the test code. However, the literature on test refactoring has used approaches that investigate and refactor only for single test smell instances. Hence, this study seeks to understand the co-occurrence of test smell and propose test code refactoring guidelines combining refactoring strategies to simultaneously eliminate multiple test smell instances. First, we conducted a study on the analysis of test code refactoring of an open-source software project. The results indicate some consequences of test code refactoring concerning test smell co-occurrence: i) no fixing of test smells; ii) fixing multiple test smells instances together; and iii) fixing single test smell instances. In the next step, we will conduct a longitudinal study with a larger dataset and build automated guidelines for smelly test code refactoring.

description: Observational and numerical studies gave hints that the hot gaseous haloes of ETGs may be sensitive to the galaxy internal kinematics. By using high resolution 2D hydro simulations, and realistic two-component (stars plus dark matter) axisymmetric galaxy models, we study the evolution of the hot haloes in a suite of flat ETGs of fixed mass distribution, but with variable amounts of azimuthal velocity dispersion and rotational support, including the possibility of a counter-rotating inner stellar disc. The hot halo is fed by stellar mass losses and heated by SNIa explosions and thermalization of stellar motions. We measure the value of the thermalization parameter gamma (the ratio between the heating due to the relative velocity between the stellar streaming and the ISM bulk flow, and the heating attainable by complete thermalization of the stellar streaming motions). We find that 1) the X-ray emission and the average temperature are larger in fully velocity dispersion supported systems; 2) 0.1

description: We study the superfluid properties of two-dimensional spin-population-imbalanced Fermi gases to explore the interplay between the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition and the possible instability towards the Fulde-Ferrell (FF) state. By the mean-field approximation together with quantum fluctuations, we obtain phase diagrams as functions of temperature, chemical potential imbalance and binding energy. We find that the fluctuations change the mean-field phase diagram significantly. We also address possible effects of the phase separation and/or the anisotropic FF phase to the BKT mechanism. The superfluid density tensor of the FF state is obtained, and its transverse component is found always vanishing. This causes divergent fluctuations and possibly precludes the existence of the FF state at any non-zero temperature.

description: Marginal tooth crowns from the hypercarnivorous marine reptile Mosasaurus hoffmannii Mantell, 1829 are reported for the first time from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) phosphates of Morocco. Fossilized remains of this species are previously known from Campanian and Maastrichtian outcrops in Europe, North America, and western Asia at a paleolatitudinal belt of 30-45°N. New fossil material originates from the Upper Couche III layer of the Oulad Abdoun Basin, south of Oued Zem, Morocco. The discovery of M. hoffmannii in Morocco extends its paleobiogeographic range south to 25°N and into the southern margin of the Mediterranean Tethys.

description: We report on the microwave (mw) properties of coaxial cavities built by using bulk MgB2 superconductor prepared by reactive liquid Mg infiltration technology. We have assembled a homogeneous cavity, by using an outer MgB2 cylinder and an inner MgB2 rod, and a hybrid cavity by using an outer copper cylinder and the same MgB2 rod as inner conductor. By the analysis of the resonance curves, in the different resonant modes, we have determined the microwave surface resistance, Rs, of the MgB2 materials as a function of the temperature and the frequency, in the absence of DC magnetic fields. At T = 4.2 K and f = 2.5 GHz, by a mw pulsed technique, we have determined the quality factor of the homogeneous cavity as a function of the input power up to a maximum level of about 40 dBm (corresponding to a maximum peak magnetic field of about 100 Oe). Contrary to what occurs in many films, Rs of the MgB2 material used does not exhibit visible variations up to an input power level of about 10 dBm and varies less than a factor of 2 on further increasing the input power of 30 dB.

On the 6d origin of discrete additional data of 4d gauge theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Starting with a choice of gauge algebras, specification of a 4d gauge theory involves additional data, namely the gauge groups and the discrete theta angles. Equivalently, one needs to specify the set of charges of allowed line operators. In this note, we study how these additional data are represented in 6d, when the 4d theory in question is an N=4 super Yang-Mills theory or an N=2 class S theory. We will see that the Z_N symmetry of the so-called T_N theory plays an important role. As a byproduct, we will find that the superconformal index of class S theories can be refined so that it can give 2d q-deformed Yang-Mills theory with different gauge groups associated to the same gauge algebra.

description: We study the nonequilibrium phase transition of the contact process with aperiodic transition rates using a real-space renormalization group as well as Monte-Carlo simulations. The transition rates are modulated according to the generalized Fibonacci sequences defined by the inflation rules A $\to$ AB$^k$ and B $\to$ A. For $k=1$ and 2, the aperiodic fluctuations are irrelevant, and the nonequilibrium transition is in the clean directed percolation universality class. For $k\ge 3$, the aperiodic fluctuations are relevant. We develop a complete theory of the resulting unconventional "infinite-modulation" critical point which is characterized by activated dynamical scaling. Moreover, observables such as the survival probability and the size of the active cloud display pronounced double-log periodic oscillations in time which reflect the discrete scale invariance of the aperiodic chains. We illustrate our theory by extensive numerical results, and we discuss relations to phase transitions in other quasiperiodic systems.

description: A space Y is called an extension of a space X if Y contains X as a dense subspace. An extension Y of X is called a one-point extension if Y-X is a singleton. Compact extensions are called compactifications and connected extensions are called connectifications. It is well known that every locally compact non-compact space has a one-point compactification (known as the Alexandroff compactification) obtained by adding a point at infinity. A locally connected disconnected space, however, may fail to have a one-point connectification. It is indeed a long standing question of Alexandroff to characterize spaces which have a one-point connectification. Here we prove that in the class of completely regular spaces, a locally connected space has a one-point connectification if and only if it contains no compact component.

Performance Characterization of AutoNUMA Memory Tiering on Graph Analytics

description: Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) can deliver higher density and lower cost per bit when compared with DRAM. Its main drawback is that it is slower than DRAM. On the other hand, DRAM has scalability problems due to its cost and energy consumption. NVM will likely coexist with DRAM in computer systems and the biggest challenge is to know which data to allocate on each type of memory. A state-of-the-art approach is AutoNUMA, in the Linux kernel. Prior work is limited to measuring AutoNUMA solely in terms of the application execution time, without understanding AutoNUMA’s behavior. In this work we provide a more in-depth characterization of AutoNUMA, for instance, identifying where exactly a set of pages are allocated, while keeping track of promotion and demotion decisions performed by AutoNUMA. Our analysis shows that AutoNUMA’s benefits can be modest when running graph processing applications, or graph analytics, because most pages have only one access over the entire execution time and other pages accesses have no temporal locality. We make a case for exploring application characteristics using object-level mappings between DRAM and NVM. Our preliminary experiments show that an object-level memory tiering can better capture the application behavior and reduce the execution time of graph analytics by 21% (avg) and 51% (max), when compared to AutoNUMA, while significantly reducing the number of memory accesses in NVM.

description: We study quantum dissipative effects due to the accelerated motion of a single, imperfect, zero-width mirror. It is assumed that the microscopic degrees of freedom on the mirror are confined to it, like in plasma or graphene sheets. Therefore, the mirror is described by a vacuum polarization tensor $Π_{αβ}$ concentrated on a time-dependent surface. Under certain assumptions about the microscopic model for the mirror, we obtain a rather general expression for the Euclidean effective action, a functional of the time-dependent mirror's position, in terms of two invariants that characterize the tensor $Π_{αβ}$. The final result can be written in terms of the TE and TM reflection coefficients of the mirror, with qualitatively different contributions coming from them. We apply that general expression to derive the imaginary part of the `in-out' effective action, which measures dissipative effects induced by the mirror's motion, in different models, in particular for an accelerated graphene sheet.

description: We study the ground-state phase diagram of the Ashkin-Teller random quantum spin chain by means of a generalization of the strong-disorder renormalization group. In addition to the conventional paramagnetic and ferromagnetic (Baxter) phases, we find a partially ordered phase characterized by strong randomness and infinite coupling between the colors. This unusual phase acts, at the same time, as a Griffiths phase for two distinct quantum phase transitions both of which are of infinite-randomness type. We also investigate the quantum multi-critical point that separates the two-phase and three-phase regions; and we discuss generalizations of our results to higher dimensions and other systems.

description: The evaluation of the long term stability of a material requires the estimation of its long-time dynamics. For amorphous materials such as structural glasses, it has proven difficult to predict the long-time dynamics starting from static measurements. Here we consider how long one needs to monitor the dynamics of a structural glass to predict its long--time features. We present a detailed characterization of the statistical features of the single-particle intermittent motion of structural glasses, and show that single--particle jumps are the irreversible events leading to the relaxation of the system. This allows to evaluate the diffusion constant on the time--scale of the jump duration, which is small and temperature independent, well before the system enters the diffusive regime. The prediction is obtained by analyzing the particle trajectories via a parameter-free algorithm.

Determining the masses of invisible particles: Application to Higgs boson invisible decay

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: To know the total width of the recently discovered Higgs boson particle, it is important to measure the invisible decay width of the Higgs boson. However, the signal for this measurement at the LHC, i.e., a charged lepton pair and missing energy in the final state, cannot be definitely understood as the product of the intermediate produced $Z$ and $H$ bosons due to the possible interaction between dark matter and a $Z$ boson or quarks, which can be described by representative effective operators. First, we consider the relic abundance, the LUX direct detection experiment and the result of searching for Higgs boson invisible decay at the LEP and LHC to find the allowed parameter region for the effective operators. Then we investigate the transverse momentum distribution of the missing energy and propose two observables that can be used to distinguish the different underlying processes. Moreover, with these two observables, we may be able to determine the masses of invisible particles.

Area inequalities for stable marginally outer trapped surfaces in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We prove area inequalities for stable marginally outer trapped surfaces in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. Our inspiration comes on the one hand from a corresponding upper bound for the area in terms of the charges obtained recently by Dain, Jaramillo and Reiris [1] in the pure Einstein-Maxwell case without symmetries, and on the other hand from Yazadjiev's inequality [2] in the axially symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton case. The common issue in these proofs and in the present one is a functional ${\mathscr W}$ of the matter fields for which the stability condition readily yields an {\it upper} bound. On the other hand, the step which crucially depends on whether or not a dilaton field is present is to obtain a {\it lower} bound for ${\mathscr W}$ as well. We obtain the latter by first setting up a variational principle for ${\mathscr W}$ with respect to the dilaton field $ϕ$, then by proving existence of a minimizer $ψ$ as solution of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations and finally by estimating ${\mathscr W}(ψ)$. In the special case that the normal components of the electric and magnetic fields are proportional we obtain the area bound $A \ge 8πP Q$ in terms of the electric and magnetic charges. In the generic case our results are less explicit but imply rigorous `perturbation' results for the above inequality. All our inequalities are saturated for a 2-parameter family of static, extreme solutions found by Gibbons [3]. Via the Bekenstein-Hawking relation $A = 4S$ our results give positive lower bounds for the entropy $S$ which are particularly interesting in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton case.

description: We show that the first order (non co-orbital) corotation torques are significantly modified by entropy gradients in a non-barotropic protoplanetary disk. Such non-barotropic torques can dramatically alter the balance that, for barotropic cases, results in the net eccentricity damping for giant gap-clearing planets embedded in the disk. We demonstrate that stellar illumination can heat the gap enough for the planet's orbital eccentricity to instead be excited. We also discuss the "Eccentricity Valley" noted in the known exoplanet population, where low-metallicity stars have a deficit of eccentric planets between $\sim 0.1$ and $\sim 1$ AU compared to metal-rich systems (Dawson & Murray-Clay 2013). We show that this feature in the planet distribution may be due to the self-shadowing of the disk by a rim located at the dust sublimation radius $\sim 0.1$ AU, which is known to exist for several T Tauri systems. In the shadowed region between $\sim 0.1$ and $\sim 1$ AU lack of gap insolation allows disk interactions to damp eccentricity. Outside such shadowed regions stellar illumination can heat the planetary gaps and drive eccentricity growth for giant planets. We suggest that the self-shadowing does not arise at higher metallicity due to the increased optical depth of the gas interior to the dust sublimation radius.

A simplified approach for estimating dihydrotestosterone (DHT) reduction when taking finasteride, and/or dutasteride

description: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). The enzyme 5α-reductase (5a-R) converts testosterone to DHT. Finasteride and dutasteride are the most commonly prescribed 5a-R inhibitors (blockers), approved for the treatment of prostate and/or hair issues. While the dosages are standardised, some persons have concerns for adverse health effects and experiment with lower or less frequent dosages or combinations of the two drugs. In this paper we model the intake of these drugs, separately or simultaneously, at different dosages and frequencies. The model is a simplified approach of previously published models with simplified pharmacokinetics, but expanding the pharmacodynamics to include both drugs simultaneously. The results are compared with the literature and different drug dosages and combination protocols are discussed.

description: The Foreign Agent Law has had devastating effects on Russia’s society and political regime. It has played a key role in Russia's transition from a hybrid regime to an authoritarian regime. The many amendments of the Foreign Agent Law over the years have led to a progressive tightening of human rights and crushing of civil society. The Foreign Agent Law violates every single characteristic of the rule of law. It undermines Russia’s constitution and international human rights treaties. Its language is unclear and inaccessible to the common people, its effects unforeseeable and discriminatory, and its application arbitrary. With a decimated civil society, the Russian people are left without many tools to protect themselves against State repression. As a result, the Kremlin has now more room to impose its will than ever before.

description: The existence of neutron stars with masses of $\sim 2\,M_{\odot}$ requires a stiff equation of state at high densities. On the other hand, the necessary appearance also at high densities of new degrees of freedom, such as hyperons and $Δ$ resonances, can lead to a strong softening of the equation of state with resulting maximum masses of $\sim 1.5\, M_{\odot}$ and radii smaller than $\sim 10$ km. Hints for the existence of compact stellar objects with very small radii have been found in recent statistical analysis of quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries in globular clusters. We propose an interpretation of these two apparently contradicting measurements, large masses and small radii, in terms of two separate families of compact stars: hadronic stars, whose equation of state is soft, can be very compact, while quark stars, whose equation of state is stiff, can be very massive. In this respect an early appearance of $Δ$ resonances is crucial to guarantee the stability of the branch of hadronic stars. Our proposal could be tested by measurements of radii with an error of $\sim 1$ km, which is within reach of the planned LOFT satellite, and it would be further strengthened by the discovery of compact stars heavier than $\sim 2\,M_{\odot}$.

description: Though not widely acknowledged in the present era, the Junpu《菌譜》(“Materia Mycologica”, 1245), also known as the Xiangxunpu 《香蕈譜》(“Manual of Fragrant Fungi”), is a historical Chinese mycological monograph authored in the late Southern Song (1127-1279) by scholar-official Chen Renyu 陳仁玉 (b. 1212), significant for its dual status as not only the earliest manual of edible mushrooms recorded from China, but also indeed the oldest practical treatise on fungi known from anywhere in the world. Despite the considerable limitations of the Junpu in terms of its actual informational scope – comprising fewer than nine hundred characters in total, with contents featuring only a brief synoptic preface followed by summary descriptions for a small number of mushrooms found from the author’s native county, and entirely devoid of illustrations – Chen Renyu’s pioneering work on fungi is nevertheless notable for having achieved a remarkable degree of influence on the subsequent development of more comprehenesive mycological literatures both in China and elsewhere in East Asia.

Thus, with the primary goal of establishing greater awareness of Chen Renyu’s Junpu as China’s archetypal mycological monograph, this thesis first proceeds with a brief biography on the life and activities of Chen Renyu, followed by a select overview of the complex contents of his original work, thereby presenting a conceptual basis for interpreting the text itself. The next section of the paper then presents readers with a new comprehensive English-language translation of the entire Junpu treatise. This translation is supplemented by extensive annotations providing commentary on the material covered therein, with particular attention being given to possible identites of the mushrooms featured in the work as well as the numerous linkages between pre-Song Chinese ethnomycological records and contemporary Song mushroom culture revealed by its contents. Following the annotated translation, the third section of the thesis engages in a brief discussion on the textual history of the Junpu and its considerable influence on later Chinese and Japanese mycological monographs. Finally, the paper concludes with an assessment of the Junpu’s unique significance to the overlapping fields of Chinese, East Asian, and global ethnomycological research, as well as a brief closing statement regarding its relevance both to present-day mushroom cultures around the world and to the future trajectory of human relations with fungi at a universal level.

description: We slightly extend a result of Oguiso on birational or automorphism groups (resp. of Lazić - Peternell on Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture) from Calabi-Yau manifolds of Picard number two to arbitrary singular varieties X (resp. to klt Calabi-Yau pairs in broad sense) of Picard number two. When X has only klt singularities and is not a complex torus, we show that either Aut(X) is almost cyclic, or it has only finitely many connected components.

description: This work introduces the families of generalized energy operators $([[.]^p]_k^+)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ and $([[.]^p]_k^-)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ ($p$ in $\mathbb{Z}^+$). One shows that with Lemma 1, the successive derivatives of $\big ([[$f$]^{p-1}]_1^+ \big)^n$ ($n$ in $\mathbb{Z}$, $n\neq 0$) can be decomposed with the generalized energy operators $\big ([[.]^p]_k^+\big)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ when $f$ is in the subspace $\mathbf{S}_p^-(\mathbb{R})$. With Theorem 1 and $f$ in $\mathbf{s}_p^-(\mathbb{R})$, one can decompose uniquely the successive derivatives of $\big ([[$f$]^{p-1}]_1^+ \big)^n$ ($n$ in $\mathbb{Z}$, $n\neq 0$) with the generalized energy operators $\big ([[.]^p]_k^+\big)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ and $\big ([[.]^p]_k^-\big)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$. $\mathbf{S}_p^-(\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathbf{s}_p^-(\mathbb{R})$ ($p$ in $\mathbb{Z}^+$) are subspaces of the Schwartz space $\mathbf{S}^-(\mathbb{R})$. These results generalize the work of [arxiv:1208.3385]. The second fold of this work is the application of the generalized energy operator families onto the solutions of linear partial differential equations. The solutions are functions of two variables and defined in subspaces of $\mathbf{S}^-(\mathbb{R}^2)$. The theory is then applied to the Helmholtz equation. In this specific case, the use of generalized energy operators in the general solution of this PDE extends the results of [montilletIMF45-48-2010]. This work ends with some numerical examples. We also underline that this theory could possibly open some applications in astrophysics and aeronautics.

description: The assessment of muscle tone, in a clinical setting, and its understanding, has great interest to the physiotherapist to better analyse and establish an appropriate treatment for the patient with Central Nervous System disorder. Considering some ambiguity of concepts and difficulty in defining tone, not being precise, and very "examiner-centered", there may be subjective variations during the clinical examination and variability of that same examination (Ganguly et al., 2021), showing some difficulty in its interpretation or measurement (Shortland, 2018). Thus, in order to improve knowledge about clinical practice in Physiotherapy, the aim of this study is to review and summarize the assessing possibilities of tone in the presence of central nervous system disorders, in the context of rehabilitation, in adults.
Analyse du concept global de la durabilité et son application théorique en milieu forestier dans la Région de kita, au Mali

description: En foresterie, la recherche de la durabilité a toujours été l’idée centrale, mais c’est l’objet de l’attention dans cette recherche de la durabilité qui a évolué du plus étroit au plus large.  La forêt est un vivrier de richesses diverses dont les ressources soutiennent la production industrielle et partant des économies toutes entières. De même, sa répartition inéquitable sur la surface de la terre fait d'elle un moyen de pression et une source de conflit. L’objectif principal de cet article est de confronter les différentes constructions de notion de durabilité tout en montrant leur portée et leurs limites dans leur application au contexte de la foresterie. La méthodologie a consisté d’une part à analyser la notion de « durabilité » en milieu forestier en faisant une revue de littérature sur le concept global de développement durable et ses implications en milieu forestier. D’autre part, une étude qualitative menée à l’aide de 10 personnes dans la Direction Nationale et Régionale des Eaux et Forêts du Mali pour la collecte des informations secondaires. Les résultats de l’étude ont montré que la notion d’aménagement forestier durable suggère que toute forme de durabilité en milieu forestier dans la Région de Kita passe par un processus de dialogue social dont la finalité est d’évaluer avec les acteurs les alternatives possibles aux méthodes existantes dans le but d’aboutir à des objectifs socialement construits.

description: I derive a fully analytic expression for the linear corotation torque to first order in eccentricity for planets in non-barotropic protoplanetary disks, taking into account the effect of disk entropy gradients. This torque formula is applicable to both the co-orbital corotation torque and the non co-orbital corotation torques -- for planets in orbits with non-zero eccentricity -- in disks where the thermal diffusivity and viscosity are sufficient to maintain linearity of these interactions. While the co-orbital corotation torque is important for migration of planets in Type I migration, the non co-orbital corotation torque plays an important role in the eccentricity evolution of giant planets that have opened gaps in the disk. The presence of an entropy gradient in the disk can significantly modify the corotation torque in both these cases.
