Classifying generated white-box tests: an exploratory study
Creators: name: Honfi, Dávid
name: Micskei, Zoltán
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: software testing, white-box test generation, empirical study, test classification

description: White-box test generation analyzes the code of the system under test, selects relevant test inputs, and captures the observed behavior of the system as expected values in the tests. However, if there is a fault in the implementation, this fault could get encoded in the assertions (expectations) of the tests. The fault is only recognized if the developer, who is using test generation, is also aware of the real expected behavior. Otherwise, the fault remains silent both in the test and in the implementation. A common assumption is that developers using white-box test generation techniques need to inspect the generated tests and their assertions, and to validate whether the tests encode any fault or represent the real expected behavior. Our goal is to provide insights about how well developers perform in this classification task. We designed an exploratory study to investigate the performance of developers. We also conducted an internal replication to increase the validity of the results. The two studies were carried out in a laboratory setting with 106 graduate students altogether. The tests were generated in four open-source projects. The results were analyzed quantitatively (binary classification metrics and timing measurements) and qualitatively (by observing and coding the activities of participants from screen captures and detailed logs). The results showed that participants tend to incorrectly classify tests encoding both expected and faulty behavior (with median misclassification rate 20%). The time required to classify one test varied broadly with an average of 2 min. This classification task is an essential step in white-box test generation that notably affects the real fault detection capability of such tools. We recommended a conceptual framework to describe the classification task and suggested taking this problem into account when using or evaluating white-box test generators.

description: Neutral silicon vacancy (SiV0) centers in diamond are promising candidates for quantum networks because of their excellent optical properties and long spin coherence times. However, spin-dependent fluorescence in such defects has been elusive due to poor understanding of the excited state fine structure and limited off-resonant spin polarization. Here we report the realization of optically detected magnetic resonance and coherent control of SiV0 centers at cryogenic temperatures, enabled by efficient optical spin polarization via previously unreported higher-lying excited states. We assign these states as bound exciton states using group theory and density functional theory. These bound exciton states enable new control schemes for SiV0 as well as other emerging defect systems.

description: Block-building skills at age 3 are related to spatial skills at age 5 and spatial skills in grade school are linked to later success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Though studies have focused on block-building behaviors and design complexity, few have examined these variables in relation to future spatial and mathematical skills or have considered how children go about copying the model in detail. This study coded 3-year-olds’ (N = 102) block-building behaviors and structural complexity on 3-D trials of the Test of Spatial Assembly (TOSA). It explored whether individual differences in children’s building behaviors and the complexity of their designs related to accuracy in copying the model block structures or their spatial and mathematical skills at ages 4 and 5. Our findings reveal that block-building behaviors were associated with concurrent and later spatial skills while structural complexity was associated with concurrent and later spatial skills as well as concurrent mathematics skills. Future work might teach children to engage in the apparently successful block-building strategies examined in this research to evaluate a potential causal mechanism.

description: Chiral QED with a generalized Fadeevian regularization is considered. Imposing a chiral constraint a gauged version of Floranini-Jackiw lagrangian is constructed. The imposition of the chiral constarint has spoiled t he manifestly Lorentz covariance of the theory. The phase space structure for this theory has been det ermined. It is found that spectrum changes drastically but it is Lorentz invariant. Chiral fermion di sappears from the spectra and the photon anquire mass as well.

description: Lifshitz transition, a change in Fermi surface topology, is likely to greatly influence exotic correlated phenomena in solids, such as high-temperature superconductivity and complex magnetism. However, since the observation of Fermi surfaces is generally difficult in the strongly correlated systems, a direct link between the Lifshitz transition and quantum phenomena has been elusive so far. Here, we report a marked impact of the pressure-induced Lifshitz transition on thermoelectric performance for SnSe, a promising thermoelectric material without strong electron correlation. By applying pressure up to 1.6 GPa, we have observed a large enhancement of thermoelectric power factor by more than 100% over a wide temperature range (10-300 K). Furthermore, the high carrier mobility enables the detection of quantum oscillations of resistivity, revealing the emergence of new Fermi pockets at ~0.86 GPa. The observed thermoelectric properties linked to the multi-valley band structure are quantitatively reproduced by first-principles calculations, providing novel insight into designing the SnSe-related materials for potential valleytronic as well as thermoelectric applications.

description: Cumrun Vafa has proposed a microscopic description of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) in terms of a many-body Hamiltonian $H$ invariant under four supersymmetries. The non-Abelian statistics of the defects (quasi-holes and quasi-particles) is then determined by the monodromy representation of the associated $tt^*$ geometry. In this paper we study the monodromy representation of the Vafa 4-susy model. Modulo some plausible assumption, we find that the monodromy representation factors through a Temperley-Lieb/Hecke algebra with $q=\pm\exp(πi/ν)$. The emerging picture agrees with the other Vafa's predictions as well. The bulk of the paper is dedicated to the development of new concepts, ideas, and techniques in $tt^*$ geometry which are of independent interest. We present several examples of these geometric structures in various contexts.
Hollywood blockbusters and long-tailed distributions: An empirical study of the popularity of movies

description: Numerical data for all movies released in theaters in the USA during the period 1997-2003 are examined for the distribution of their popularity in terms of (i) the number of weeks they spent in the Top 60 according to the weekend earnings, and (ii) the box-office gross during the opening week, as well as, the total duration for which they were shown in theaters. These distributions show long tails where the most popular movies are located. Like the study of Redner [S. Redner, Eur. Phys. J. B 4, 131 (1998)] on the distribution of citations to individual papers, our results are consistent with a power-law dependence of the rank distribution of gross revenues for the most popular movies with a exponent close to -1/2.

Designing to Empower: An Action Kit for Engaged Design Literacy in Women's Shelters

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Recent years have seen a significant increase in infrastructure grants for anti-violence organizations, particularly aimed at upgrading their shelter buildings. This funding presents unprecedented opportunities for these organizations to rethink how architecture and design can not only support their services but also align with their commitment to providing a physically, culturally, and emotionally safe place for women and children escaping abuse. This project was designed to address the fact that new funding, while providing opportunities for enhancing how space could support healing, was not accompanied by changes in policies, procedures or processes that would allow organizations and architects the time and other resources to do this work together. It asks, how might we empower management, staff, and guests of anti-violence organizations to ground decisions about future shelter spaces in their lived experience?

Maximum-entropy image reconstruction using wavelets

description: Wavelet functions allow the sparse and efficient representation of a signal at different scales. Recently the application of wavelets to the denoising of maps of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations has been proposed. The maximum-entropy method (MEM) is also often used for enhancing astronomical images and has been applied to CMB data. In this paper, we give a systematic discussion of combining these two approaches by the use of the MEM in wavelet bases for the denoising and deconvolution of CMB maps and more general images. Certain types of wavelet transforms, such as the a trous transform, can be viewed as a multi-channel intrinsic correlation function (ICF). We find that the wavelet MEM has lower reconstruction residuals than conventional pixel-basis MEM in the case when the signal-to-noise ratio is low and the point spread function narrow. Furthermore, the Bayesian evidence for the wavelet MEM reconstructions is generally higher for a wide range of images. From a Bayesian point of view, the wavelet basis thus provides a better model of the image.

description: We investigate the dynamics of vortices in repulsive Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of an optical lattice (OL) and a parabolic magnetic trap. The dynamics is sensitive to the phase of the OL potential relative to the magnetic trap, and depends less on the OL strength. For the cosinusoidal OL potential, a local minimum is generated at the trap's center, creating a stable equilibrium for the vortex, while in the case of the sinusoidal potential, the vortex is expelled from the center, demonstrating spiral motion. Cases where the vortex is created far from the trap's center are also studied, revealing slow outward-spiraling drift. Numerical results are explained in an analytical form by means of a variational approximation. Finally, motivated by a discrete model (which is tantamount to the case of the strong OL lattice), we present a novel type of vortex consisting of two pairs of anti-phase solitons.

Superfluid vs Ferromagnetic Behaviour in a Bose Gas of Spin-1/2 Atoms

description: We study the thermodynamic phases of a gas of spin-1/2 atoms in the Hartree-Fock approximation. Our main result is that, for repulsive or weakly-attractive inter-component interaction strength, the superfluid and ferromagnetic phase transitions occur at the same temperature. For strongly-attractive inter-component interaction strength, however, the ferromagnetic phase transition occurs at a higher temperature than the superfluid phase transition. We also find that the presence of a condensate acts as an effective magnetic field that polarizes the normal cloud. We finally comment on the validity of the Hartree-Fock approximation in describing different phenomena in this system.

description: The detection of NH3 inversion lines up to the (J,K)=(6,6) level is reported toward the central regions of the nearby galaxies NGC253, Maffei2, and IC342. The observed lines are up to 406K (for (J,K)=(6,6)) and 848K (for the (9,9) transition) above the ground state and reveal a warm (T_kin= 100 - 140 K) molecular component toward all galaxies studied. The tentatively detected (J,K)=(9,9) line is evidence for an even warmer (>400K) component toward IC342. Toward NGC253, IC342 and Maffei2 the global beam averaged NH3 abundances are 1-2 10^-8, while the abundance relative to warm H2 is around 10^-7. The temperatures and NH3 abundances are similar to values found for the Galactic central region. C-shocks produced in cloud-cloud collisions can explain kinetic temperatures and chemical abundances. In the central region of M82, however, the NH3 emitting gas component is comparatively cool (~ 30K). It must be dense (to provide sufficient NH3 excitation) and well shielded from dissociating photons and comprises only a small fraction of the molecular gas mass in M82. An important molecular component, which is warm and tenuous and characterized by a low ammonia abundance, can be seen mainly in CO. Photon dominated regions (PDRs) can explain both the high fraction of warm H_2 in M82 and the observed chemical abundances.

The main new results are: $\mathcal F(X)$ is weakly sequentially complete for every superreflexive Banach space $X$, and $\mathcal F(M)$ has the Schur property and the approximation property for every scattered complete metric space $M$.

Publisher: name: Frontiers Media S.A.
Year: 2024

description: Continuous magnitude estimation and continuous cross-modality matching with line length can efficiently track the momentary loudness of time-varying sounds in behavioural experiments. These methods are known to be prone to systematic biases but may be checked for consistency using their counterpart, magnitude production. Thus, in Experiment 1, we performed such an evaluation for time-varying sounds. Twenty participants produced continuous cross-modality matches to assess the momentary loudness of fourteen songs by continuously adjusting the length of a line. In Experiment 2, the resulting temporal line length profile for each excerpt was played back like a video together with the given song and participants were asked to continuously adjust the volume to match the momentary line length. The recorded temporal line length profile, however, was manipulated for segments with durations between 7 to 12 s by eight factors between 0.5 and 2, corresponding to expected differences in adjusted level of −10, −6, −3, −1, 1, 3, 6, and 10 dB according to Stevens’s power law for loudness. The average adjustments 5 s after the onset of the change were −3.3, −2.4, −1.0, −0.2, 0.2, 1.4, 2.4, and 4.4 dB. Smaller adjustments than predicted by the power law are in line with magnitude-production results by Stevens and co-workers due to “regression effects.” Continuous cross-modality matches of line length turned out to be consistent with current loudness models, and by passing the consistency check with cross-modal productions, demonstrate that the method is suited to track the momentary loudness of time-varying sounds.

description: We study single-flip dynamics in sets of three-dimensional rhombus tilings with fixed polyhedral boundaries. This dynamics is likely to be slowed down by so-called ``cycles'': such structures arise when tilings are encoded via the ``partition-on-tiling'' method and are susceptible to break connectivity by flips or at least ergodicity, because they locally suppress a significant amount of flip degrees of freedom. We first address the so-far open question of the connectivity of tiling sets by elementary flips. We prove exactly that sets of tilings of codimension one and two are connected for any dimension and tiling size. For higher-codimension tilings of dimension 3, the answer depends on the precise choice of the edge orientations, which is a non-trivial issue. In most cases, we can prove connectivity despite the existence of cycles. In the few remaining cases, among which the icosahedral symmetry, the question remains open. We also study numerically flip-assisted diffusion to explore the possible effects of the previously mentioned cycles. Cycles do not seem to slow down significantly the dynamics, at least as far as self-diffusion is concerned.

description: Topology optimization facilitates the automated design of high-performance structures across various engineering fields but, if unconstrained, often produces designs that are complex and difficult to manufacture. A key attribute of the resulting designs is connectivity, which involves controlling the presence of solid and/or void islands of material. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of existing connectivity constraints developed for continuous design representations and highlights their advantages and limitations in influencing design outcomes and performance. The review further includes a practical comparison of five different connectivity constraints using a topology optimization framework for sandwich panels that balances acoustic and structural performance. With Pareto-front analyses, the constraints are evaluated based on computational cost, monotonicity, parameter dependency, and their impact on the optimized designs, their performance, and underlying dynamics. From the comparison, practical insights and rule of thumbs have been derived. The findings emphasize the critical role of selecting appropriate connectivity constraints, given their significant effect on the optimization results.

description: We investigate the effects of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting on the coupled density-spin dynamics and collapse of the Bose-Einstein condensate driven by the quintic self-attraction in the same- and cross-spin channels. The characteristic feature of the collapse is the decrease in the width as given by the participation ratio of the density rather than by the expectation values of the coordinate. Qualitative arguments and numerical simulations reveal the existence of a critical spin-orbit coupling strength which either prohibits or leads to the collapse, and its dependence on other parameters, such as the condensates norm, spin-dependent nonlinear coupling, and the Zeeman splitting. The entire nonlinear dynamics critically depend on the initial spin sate.

Operators of quantum-reduced loop gravity from the perspective of full loop quantum gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum-reduced loop gravity is a model of loop quantum gravity, which - from the technical point of view - is characterized by the remarkably simple form of its basic operators. In this article we examine the operators of the quantum-reduced model from the perspective of full loop quantum gravity. We show that, in spite of their simplicity, the operators of the quantum-reduced model are simply the operators of the full theory acting on states in the Hilbert space of the quantum-reduced model. The passage from the full theory operators to the "reduced" operators simply consists of noting that the states of the quantum-reduced model are assumed to carry large spin quantum numbers, and discarding terms which are of lower than leading order in $j$. Our findings clarify the relation between the quantum-reduced model and full loop quantum gravity, and strengthen the technical foundations on which the kinematical structure of the quantum-reduced model is based.

 Ocypus (Pseudocypus) imurai Smetana, 2005b, 308.
 Type material. Holotype (male) and allotype (female): CHINA: Sichuan: " China: Sichuan, Hongyaxian, Near the summit of Wawu-shan, alt. 2600–2650 m, 25.V.–2.VI. 2004, Y. Imura & Y. Nagahata leg.” Holotype in the collection of the National Science Museum (Natural History), Tokyo; allotype in ASC.
 Paratypes: CHINA: Sichuan: same data as holotype, 9 ♂♂, 13 ♀♀ in ASC.
 Diagnosis. Ocypus imurai shares most character states with O. sericeomicans and differs from it mainly by the differently shaped aedoeagus and tergite 10 of female genital segment.
 Description. Apex of abdomen becoming indefinitely paler in most specimens.
 Male. Medioapical emargination of sternite 8 narrower, less deep and more arcuate. Sternite 9 of genital segment similar to that of O. sericeomicans, but narrower and longer, distinctly emarginate apically (Fig. 45). Tergite 10 longer and narrower, arcuate apically (Fig. 46). Aedoeagus (Figs. 47–50) similar to that of O. sericeomicans, but markedly larger, with triangular apical portion wider, on face adjacent to paramere with Vshaped carina close to apex (Fig. 47); paramere markedly longer, apical portion much less asymmetrical with apex minutely sinuate (Figs. 49, 50), apex reaching distinctly closer to apex of median lobe; sensory peg setae on underside of paramere markedly more numerous, apical setae situated as in Fig. 50.
Female. Tergite 10 of genital segment of different shape, sparsely setose, with slightly differentiated apical portion, and strongly sclerotized portion reduced to very apex (Fig. 51).
Length 14.0–18.0 mm.
 Geographical distribution. Ocypus imurai is at present known only from the type locality in Wawu Shan, Ebian county, Sichuan.
 Bionomics. The specimens of the original series were taken from pitfall traps set in a secondary Abies forest with Rhododendron and Sasa undergrowth.
 Recognition and comments. Ocypus imurai may be easily distinguished from O. sericeomicans by the different aedoeagus, particularly by the markedly different paramere, as well as by the distinctive shape of tergite 10 of the female genital segment.

description: The leading terms in the tree-level effective action for the massless fields of the bosonic open string are calculated by integrating out all massive fields in Witten's cubic string field theory. In both the abelian and nonabelian theories, field redefinitions make it possible to express the effective action in terms of the conventional field strength. The resulting actions reproduce the leading terms in the abelian and nonabelian Born-Infeld theories, and include (covariant) derivative corrections.

description: We present the first detailed elemental abundances in the ultra-faint Magellanic satellite galaxies Carina II (Car II) and Carina III (Car III). With high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy, we determined abundances of nine stars in Car II including the first abundances of an RR Lyrae star in an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy; and two stars in Car III. The chemical abundances demonstrate that both systems are clearly galaxies and not globular clusters. The stars in these galaxies mostly display abundance trends matching those of other similarly faint dwarf galaxies: enhanced but declining [alpha/Fe] ratios, iron-peak elements matching the stellar halo, and unusually low neutron-capture element abundances. One star displays a low outlying [Sc/Fe] = -1.0. We detect a large Ba scatter in Car II, likely due to inhomogeneous enrichment by low-mass AGB star winds. The most striking abundance trend is for [Mg/Ca] in Car II, which decreases from +0.4 to -0.4 and indicates clear variation in the initial progenitor masses of enriching core-collapse supernovae. So far, the only ultra-faint dwarf galaxies displaying a similar [Mg/Ca] trend are likely satellites of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find two stars with [Fe/H] < -3.5, whose abundances likely trace the first generation of metal-free Population III stars and are well-fit by Population III core-collapse supernova yields. An appendix describes our new abundance uncertainty analysis that propagates line-by-line stellar parameter uncertainties.

description: We investigate the stability of dark solitons (DSs) in an effectively one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of the magnetic parabolic trap and an optical lattice (OL). The analysis is based on both the full Gross-Pitaevskii equation and its tight-binding approximation counterpart (discrete nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation). We find that DSs are subject to weak instabilities with an onset of instability mainly governed by the period and amplitude of the OL. The instability, if present, sets in at large times and it is characterized by quasi-periodic oscillations of the DS about the minimum of the parabolic trap.
