description: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport Ranges, Engineering, and Analysis Department applied product line practices in the development of systems for the U.S. Navy test ranges it supports. To gauge the success of its product line effort, NUWC must be able to measure the effectiveness of the product line approach compared to more traditional development approaches. To do this, NUWC established a software measurement team to develop and monitor a measurement program. The team includes representatives from programs using the NUWC core asset base, RangeWare. Four projects are currently contributing to the measurement program. This report documents NUWC's approach for measurement by describing the Goal-Driven Software Measurement approach adopted by the test range product line effort and by providing early results of the measurement program.

description: Let $f:X\to Y$ be a surjective projective map and $L$ be a holomorphic line bundle on $X$ equipped with a (singular) semi-positive Hermitian metric $h$. In this article, by studying the canonical metric on the direct image sheaf of the twisted relative canonical bundles $K_{X/Y}\otimes L\otimes\mathscr{I}(h)$, we obtain that this metric has dual Nakano semi-positivity when $h$ is smooth and there is no deformation by $f$ and that this metric has locally Nakano semi-positivity in the singular sense when $h$ is singular.

description: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) Program is sponsoring a series of case studies to identify the life cycles, workflows, and technical challenges of computational science and engineering code development that are representative of the program's participants. A secondary goal is to characterize how software development tools are used and what enhancements would increase the productivity of scientific-application programmers. These studies also seek to identify "lessons learned"? that can be transferred to the general computational science and engineering community to improve the code development process. The NENE code is the fifth science-based code project to be analyzed by the Existing Codes subteam of the DARPA HPCS Productivity Team. The NENE code is an application code for analyzing scientific phenomena and predicting the complex behavior and interaction of individual physical systems and individual particles in the systems. The core NENE development team is expert, agile, and of moderate size, consisting of a professor and another permanent staff member, five post docs, and 11 graduate students. NENE is an example of a distributed development project; the core team is anchored at a university, but as many as 250 individual researchers have made contributions from other locations.

description: There is an increasing need for an interoperable healthcare data system that provides a shared common view of the essential data for a person to any healthcare provider involved in the circle of care regardless of where provider or person are physically located or what organization they belong to. This paper introduces a framework that characterizes the essential elements of such a system: minimal data set, information technology architecture, and legal governance. We evaluate related work and propose a cloud-based portal and a web-service API for accessing and managing shared data. The proposal is evaluated and compared using a representative usage scenario from community care.

description: Automating a software process both magnifies its strengths and accentuates its weaknesses. Automation can make an effective process more effective, but it can make a chaotic process even worse and at considerable expense. Anyone who buys expensive tools to solve an ill-defined problem is likely to be disappointed. Unless procuring such tools is part of a thoughtful software process improvement plan, the purchase could be an expensive mistake. This report discusses software process maturity and its relationship to planning and installing computer-aided software engineering (CASE) systems. While process is not a magic answer (there isn't one), the key issues are discussed from a process perspective, and guidelines are given for avoiding the most common pitfalls. Since CASE systems can involve significant investment, an economic justification may be necessary. The relevant financial considerations are therefore discussed, and some basic steps for producing such justifications are outlined. Finally, some key considerations for introducing and using CASE systems are discussed.

description: The French chemist Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) chose to be actively engaged in the fine arts throughout his life—yet scholarship has ignored or dismissed these pursuits. This empirical study documents his unknown, but deep involvement with art and artists from age thirteen until his death. This was no casual pastime. Art animated Pasteur. It was also at times useful to him for making political statements, cultivating status, and supporting loyal friends. This account identifies nearly twenty significant friendships with painters and sculptors and uncovers over thirty other artists with whom his associations deserve examination. The narrative suggests points at which art was especially germane to his scientific career and possible junctures that merit further research. Evidence from his artistic friendships also corrects the common picture of Pasteur as a dour workaholic who never laughed or smiled.

description: An organization's measurement and analysis infrastructure directly impacts the quality of the decisions made by people at all organizational levels. Ensuring information quality is a challenge for most organizations—partly because they might not be fully aware of their own data quality levels. Without this information, they cannot know the full business impact of poor or unknown data quality or determine how to begin improving their data. This report describes common errors in measurement and analysis and the need for a criterion-based assessment method that will allow organizations to evaluate key characteristics of their measurement programs.

description: Introduction: Unhealthy food and beverage marketing in various media and settings contributes to children’s poor dietary intake. In 2019, the Canadian federal government recommended the introduction of new restrictions on food marketing to children. This scoping review aimed to provide an up-to-date assessment of the frequency of food marketing to children and youth in Canada as well as children’s exposure to this marketing in various media and settings in order to determine where gaps exist in the research. Methods: For this scoping review, detailed search strategies were used to identify relevant peer-reviewed and grey literature published between October 2016 and November 2021. Two reviewers screened all results. Results: A total of 32 relevant and unique articles were identified; 28 were peer reviewed and 4 were from the grey literature. The majority of the studies (n = 26) examined the frequency of food marketing while 6 examined actual exposure to food marketing. Most research focussed on children from Ontario and Quebec and television and digital media. There was little research exploring food marketing to children by age, geographical location, sex/gender, race/ethnicity and/or socioeconomic status. Conclusion: Our synthesis suggests that unhealthy food marketing to children and adolescents is extensive and that current self-regulatory policies are insufficient at reducing the presence of such marketing. Research assessing the frequency of food marketing and preschooler, child and adolescent exposure to this marketing is needed across a variety of media and settings to inform future government policies.

Fue en este contexto de celebración política cuando las colonias extranjeras residentes en Guatemala fueron invitadas a participar con la construcción de pabellones nacionales. El momento culminante de estas III Minervalias sería la inauguración de un gran Palacio de la Ciencia o Templo, dedicado a la diosa romana del arte y la ciencia en la capital el día 27 de octubre de 1901, precedida de un gran desfile cívico en el participarían los principales colegios guatemaltecos. Así lo recogía un telegrama fechado el 9 de octubre dirigido al Diario del Salvador: del vicio, preparando una nueva generación que está llamada a hacer la grandeza y ventura del país.

Intervention en santé mentale et spécificités culturelles : La double perspective d’une réalité de la Première Nation Moose Cree de Kapuskasing
Creators: name: Bélanger-Vallière, Samuelle
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: Cette étude a pour but de recueillir le point de vue d’intervenants autochtones et non autochtones qui œuvrent en santé mentale aux Services de Counselling de Hearst, Kapuskasing et Smooth Rock Falls (SCHKS) et au Centre d’amitié autochtone de Kapuskasing (CAAK), pour comprendre la manière dont les interventions offertes aux membres de la communauté de la Première Nation Moose Cree (PNMC) sont culturellement appropriées. De plus, cette étude vise à identifier ce qui rend les services en santé mentale accessibles et culturellement pertinents aux membres de la communauté de la PNMC à Kapuskasing. La présente étude vise également à identifier la nature des interventions en santé mentale et la manière dont elles respectent et correspondent aux besoins des familles et individus autochtones qui les consultent. Finalement, cette recherche vise à décrire les perspectives privilégiées, les outils d’intervention culturellement sécuritaires et comment ils contribuent au mieux-être et à la guérison des populations autochtones. L’approche de la double perspective de Martin (2012) est utilisée comme cadre théorique de cette étude. Elle a permis de regarder comment et en quoi les savoirs scientifiques et les pratiques autochtones peuvent cohabiter pour bonifier les interventions en santé mentale avec les membres de la PMNC. Dans le but de répondre à notre question de recherche et à nos sous-objectifs, la méthodologie de recherche qualitative et inductive est favorisée. Afin de réaliser cette étude, six participants ont répondu à un sondage numérique via Survey Monkey. Les participants de cette étude ont présenté diverses réflexions introspectives et critiques relatives aux spécificités culturelles et permettant de favoriser la sécurité culturelle dans leurs interventions au sein de leur milieu de travail. Ces participants ont donc présenté les barrières qui nuisent à la sécurité culturelle dans leurs interventions et ont discuté des pistes de solutions qui permettraient d’atteindre la sécurité culturelle. Les conclusions de l’étude démontrent qu’afin d’offrir des services culturellement pertinents, les interventions en santé mentale aux PNMC, plus particulièrement au SCHKS, doit être bonifiées.

Comparing the Gap Between Demand and Supply of Democracy in Benin and Ghana
Creators: name: Renée Rose, Joubarne
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper seeks to understand the gap between demand for democracy and supply of democracy that is occuring in some states, and the factors that contribute to the gap. It will look at two West African states, Benin and Ghana, to better understand what factors may lead to gaps between demand and supply of democracy. Opinion survey results from the Afrobarometer were used to assess those who expressed a desire for democracy (demand) and those who were satisfied with democracy (supply). In Ghana, the percentages of people who desired democracy and those who were satisfied with it, were relatively the same. However, in Benin, a much lower percentage of people were satisfied with democracy, leading to a gap of more than 20 points. These two states were compared, not just for their differing scores, but also because they experienced relatively similar transitions to democracy, around the same time, and have generally been two of West Africa’s most stable democracies in the last thirty years. However, they also differ in significant ways and these differences were examined to see if they contributed to the gap between demand and supply of democracy. The categories of difference examined were economic performance, democratic institutions and political trust. After reviewing the literature on these factors, and examining the Afrobarometer data, along with data from the World Bank, it was concluded that the likely reasons for Ghana’s higher satisfaction scores included higher economic growth, institutionalised political parties, a more independent national electoral commission, and lower perceived levels of corruption, among other factors. More research is required to determine if economic growth is the dominant factor affecting all other factors, or if the other factors relate to each other.
Building Process Improvement Business Cases Using Bayesian Belief Networks and Monte Carlo Simulation

Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Many organizations require quality improvement initiatives to be based on quantified business cases. This leads some organizations to start measurement programs to collect data about current performance-a lengthy and expensive process that requires a strong commitment from management. This report describes a collaboration between the Software Engineering Institute and Ericsson Research and Development, The Netherlands, to build a business case using high maturity measurement approaches that require limited measurement effort. For this project, a Bayesian belief network (BBN) and Monte Carlo simulation were combined to build a business case for quality improvement. Using a BBN provided quick insight into potential areas of improvement based on relevant quality factors and the current performance level of the organization. Monte Carlo simulation enabled a detailed calculation of the likely business results in the areas of potential improvement. This approach led to a decision to implement agile methods to improve the quality of requirements.
Building Information Assurance Educational Capacity: Pilot Efforts to Date

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering

description: This report describes efforts by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to increase the capacity of institutions of higher education to offer information assurance (IA) and information security (IS) courses, to expand existing IA and IS offerings, and to include IA and IS topics and perspectives, as appropriate, in other courses. To accomplish these goals, the SEI transitions courseware, materials, and a survivability and information assurance curriculum to various departments at institutions of higher education, participates in NSF-funded faculty capacity-building programs, creates partnerships with key regional educational institutions, and offers IA symposia, among other efforts. While the SEI works with all institutions of higher education, there is a particular focus on minority-serving institutions. Rather than build a new infrastructure to accomplish this, the SEI utilizes partnerships that leverage the strengths of the SEI and the strengths of the partner educational institutions and builds upon existing trusted relationships and infrastructure, and sustains the incorporation of new and evolving materials. Leveraging other complementary programs, events, and organizations broadens the offering and makes it more cost effective to all parties concerned.

description: Gene expression profiling of tumours is an important source of information for cancer patient stratification. Detecting subtle alterations of gene expression remains a challenge, however. Here, we propose a novel tool for high-sensitivity detection of differential pathway activity in tumours. For a pathway defined by a collection of genes, the samples are projected onto a low-dimensional manifold in the subspace spanned by those genes. For each sample, a score is next found by calculating the distance between each projected sample and the projection of a subgroup of reference samples. Depending on the aim of the analysis and the available data, the reference samples may represent e.g. normal tissue or tumour samples with a particular genotype or phenotype. The proposed tool, PathTracer, is demonstrated on gene expression data from 1952 invasive breast cancer samples, 10 DCIS, 9 benign samples and 144 tumour adjacent normal breast tissue samples. PathTracer scores are shown to predict survival, clinical subtypes, cellular proliferation and genomic instability. Furthermore, predictions are shown to outperform those obtained with other comparable methods.

description: An innovative strategy for the design of low-profile wide-angle impedance matching (WAIM) superstrates to active return loss (ARL) stability of scanned microstrip-printed periodic phased arrays (PPAs) is presented. Towards this end, an instance of the System-by-Design (SbD) paradigm is exploited and a task-oriented formulation of the WAIM synthesis problem is proposed. More specifically, a customized global optimization strategy is combined with an accurate and fast modeling of the array ARL, which is based on a semi-analytical approach, to enable an effective design of multi-layer structures with both isotropic and anisotropic materials. A set of representative numerical examples, concerned with different microstrip patch substrates, lattices, and design constraints, is presented to give the interested readers some insights on the features and the potentialities of the proposed implementation.

description: There are two outstanding issues regarding the neutron-star merger event GW170817: the nature of the compact remnant and the interstellar shock. The mass of the remnant of GW170817, $\sim$2.7 $M_\odot$, implies the remnant could be either a massive, rotating, neutron star, or a black hole. We report Chandra Director's Discretionary Time observations made in 2017 December and 2018 January, and we reanalyze earlier observations from 2017 August and 2017 September, in order to address these unresolved issues. We estimate the X-ray flux from a neutron star remnant and compare that to the measured X-ray flux. If we assume that the spin-down luminosity of any putative neutron star is converted to pulsar wind nebula X-ray emission in the 0.5-8 keV band with an efficiency of $10^{-3}$, for a dipole magnetic field with $3 \times 10^{11}$ G < $B$ < $10^{14}$ G, a rising X-ray signal would result and would be brighter than that observed by day 107, we therefore conclude that the remnant of GW170817 is most likely a black hole. Independent of any assumptions of X-ray efficiency, however, if the remnant is a rapidly-rotating, magnetized, neutron star, the total energy in the external shock should rise by a factor $\sim$$10^2$ (to $\sim$$10^{52}$ erg) after a few years, therefore, Chandra observations over the next year or two that do not show substantial brightening will rule out such a remnant. The same observations can distinguish between two different models for the relativistic outflow, either an angular or radially varying structure.

description: Durra is a language and support environment for the specification and execution of distributed ADA applications. A Durra programmer describes an application as a collection of processes and data links. More complicated application descriptions may also include a structuring of this collection that varies dynamically according to a set of reconsideration conditions. Each process defined in the application description is associated with an independently compiled ADA subprogram that implements the behavior of that process. The Durra programmer specifies the distribution of application components by assigning them to virtual nodes called clusters. For each cluster, the Durra compiler generates a multithreaded ADA program that imports the code for the processes assigned to that node and manages their execution. Durra also facilitates rapid prototyping through the use of tools that interpret timing specifications associated with processes and generates ADA code to simulate their expected behavior.
Hardy-Lieb-Thirring Inequalities for Fractional Pauli Operators

description: We provide lower bounds for the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator $|σ\cdot p_A|^{2s} - C_s/|x|^{2s} + V$ in three dimensions, where $s\in (0, 1]$, covering the interesting physical cases $s = 1$ and $s = 1/2$. Here $σ$ is the vector of Pauli matrices, $p_A = p - A$, with $p = -i\nabla$ the three-dimensional momentum operator and $A$ a given magnetic vector potential, and $C_s$ is the critical Hardy constant, that is, the optimal constant in the Hardy inequality $|p|^{2s} \geq C_s/|x|^{2s}$. If spin is neglected, results of this type are known in the literature as Hardy-Lieb-Thirring inequalities, which bound the sum of negative eigenvalues from below by $-M_s\int V_{-}^{1 + 3/(2s)}$, for a positive constant $M_s$. The inclusion of magnetic fields in this case follows from the non-magnetic case by diamagnetism. The addition of spin, however, offers extra challenges that make the result more elusive. It is the purpose of this article to resolve this problem by providing simple bounds for the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator in question. In particular, for $1/2 \leq s \leq 1$ we are able to express the bound purely in terms of the magnetic field energy $\|B\|_2^2$ and integrals of powers of the negative part of $V$.

description: Al corte de 30 de septiembre de 2022 se reporta un total de 3.999 empresas en procedimientos de insolvencia empresarial. Con esta cifra, se pretende mostrar la importancia que tiene la utilización de mecanismos de salvamento y recuperación empresarial, como lo es la emisión de bonos de riesgo en acuerdos de reorganización, y el impacto que puede tener tanto para deudores como acreedores si se viabiliza su uso implementando ciertas mejoras normativas que se propondrán. Según estadísticas de la Superintendencia de Sociedades a septiembre de 2022, se advierte que el tejido empresarial en el país y, sobre todo, las empresas en insolvencia, está principalmente representado por pymes o pequeñas empresas, que, dada su estructura y necesidades financieras, optan por cualquier otro mecanismo de financiamiento, antes de pensar en la emisión de deuda. Dicho eso, es necesario preguntarse cuáles han sido los principales obstáculos que han limitado a las empresas a usar la figura de emisión de títulos privados y no es necesario ir muy lejos para darse cuenta, que el principal reto ha sido encontrarse con una figura en exceso reglamentada, además de la ausencia de educación financiera y los mitos que encierra el mercado de capitales para los empresarios.

With this figure, it is intended to show the importance of the use of business rescue and recovery mechanisms, such as the issuance of risk bonds in reorganization agreements, and the impact that it can have for both debtors and creditors if its implementation becomes viable. use by implementing certain regulatory enhancements that will be proposed. According to statistics from the Superintendence of Companies as of September 2022, it is noted that the business fabric in the country and, above all, insolvent companies, is mainly represented by SMEs or small companies, which, given their structure and financial needs, opt by any other financing mechanism, before thinking about issuing debt. Having said that, it is necessary to ask what have been the main obstacles that have limited companies from using the figure of issuance of private securities and it is not necessary to go very far to realize that the main challenge has been to find an excessive figure regulated, in addition to the absence of financial education and the myths that the capital market holds for businessmen.
Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015: A History of Canadian security legislation
Creators: name: Marquardt, Alexander

description: The 2014 attacks on Parliament Hill and the killing of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent prompted the Conservative government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to table Bill C-51, An Act To Enact The Security Of Canada Information Sharing Act And The Secure Air Travel Act, To Amend The Criminal Code, The Canadian Security Intelligence Act And The Immigration And Refugee Protection Act And To Make Related And Consequential Amendments To Other Acts (2015). The legislation was highly controversial due to the amendments that granted sweeping powers to our national security agencies. Supporters argued the legislation was necessary to combat global terrorist groups, whereas detractors argued the proposed legislation put civil rights at serious risk of abuse. Once passed into law as the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015, newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau began the process of amending the law in keeping with his 2015 election promise. The Liberals launched a public consultation process that resulted in the tabling of new legislation: Bill C-59. This research project will analyze the history of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015, including its creation and criticisms. The overarching objective of the research project is to understand how Bill C-51, later the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015 came to fruition, and why the current Liberal government is attempting to replace it. National security legislation is important since our national security agencies operate according to the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015, and understanding the implications of the current law, and the changes proposed in Bill C-59 affect all Canadians.

description: Researchers at the CERT Program, part of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, need a framework to organize research and practice areas focused on building assured systems. The Building Assured Systems Framework (BASF) addresses the customer and researcher challenges of selecting security methods and research approaches for building assured systems. After reviewing existing life-cycle process models, security models, and security research frameworks, the authors used the Master of Software Assurance Reference Curriculum knowledge areas as the BASF. The authors mapped all major CERT research areas to the BASF, proving that the BASF is useful for organizing building assured systems research. The authors also performed a gap analysis to identify promising CERT research areas. The BASF is a useful structure for planning and communicating about CERT research. The BASF will also be useful to CERT sponsors to track current research and development efforts in building assured systems.
