Software Product Line Adoption Roadmap
Creators: name: Northrop, Linda
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The tremendous benefits of taking a software product line approach are well documented. Organizations have achieved significant reductions in cost and time to market and, at the same time, increased the quality of families of their software systems. However, to date, there are considerable barriers to organizational adoption of product line practices and to widespread product line practice. Phased adoption is attractive as a risk reduction and fiscally viable proposition. This report introduces a variant of the Factory Pattern called the Adoption Factory pattern that provides a generic roadmap to guide a manageable, phased product line adoption strategy. In addition, the report examines the Adoption Factory pattern from multiple useful views and describes how it can be used. The report concludes with a summary of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's experiences with the pattern to date and its future plans with regard to the pattern.

description: Given that C-glucosylisoflavones often possess promising biological activities, the development of an efficient synthetic method for this type of molecules is useful for drug discovery. Accordingly, a highly efficient five-step strategy was developed for the total synthesis of puerarin, an isoflavone C-glycoside. An alkyl substituent 4-CH3OC6H4CH2CH2 with an electron-donating group on the aromatic ring was used to enhance the reactivity of phenol and the regioselectivity of O-C rearrangement of phenol glycoside. Thus, coupling of the ethylbenzene derivative of a phenol 1c with glycosyl trifluoroacetimidate 2 resulted in C-glycoside 3c in a 46.2% yield, which was easily de-tert-butylated with trifluoroacetic acid and oxidized with 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichlorobenzoquinone to produce deoxybenzoin 5. The ring closure reaction of 5 followed by deprotection gave puerarin. This new synthetic strategy is also suitable for the total synthesis of other C-glucosylisoflavones.
Improving Outcomes for Youth Transitioning out of Care: An Analysis of Canada’s Transition Programs
Creators: name: Sukumaran, Shobana
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: Youth leaving care disproportionately experience negative outcomes in adulthood. Compared to the general population, they have higher rates of homelessness, poverty, poor health and mental health outcomes, substance abuse, and involvement with the criminal justice system, and lower educational and employment outcomes. A key contributing factor to their poor life outcomes is the immediate transition out of care and into adulthood without sufficient support. Despite the availability of transition programs in Canada that are designed to provide support during this process, there is a continued prevalence of negative outcomes among former foster youth. This paper seeks to understand ways that Canada can better address the needs of youth transitioning out of care through transition programs in order to improve their outcomes in adulthood. To do so, this paper begins with an academic literature review to identify the most effective approaches in transition programming, and then conducts a jurisdictional scan to determine the gaps in the existing transition programs in Canada. The research finds that transition programs in Canada are insufficient in preparing foster youth for adulthood; provide limited support to meet core needs in housing, mental health, social connections, and life skills development; and are difficult to access. This paper recommends four priority areas for future policy responses to encourage more positive transitions out of care: develop targeted transition supports for housing, mental health and life skills training; integrate the values of interdependence and empowerment into transition programs; improve data collection and monitoring of the outcomes of transitioning youth; and improve accessibility of supports. Keywords: Foster youth; transition out of care; outcomes; adulthood; transition programs
Pitfalls in the analysis of low-temperature thermal conductivity of high-Tc cuprates

description: Recently, it was proposed that phonons are specularly reflected below about 0.5 K in ordinary single-crystal samples of high-T_c cuprates, and that the low-temperature thermal conductivity should be analyzed by fitting the data up to 0.5 K using an arbitrary power law. Such an analysis yields a result different from that obtained from the conventional analysis, in which the fitting is usually restricted to a region below 0.15 K. Here we show that the proposed new analysis is most likely flawed, because the specular phonon reflection means that the phonon mean free path \ell gets LONGER than the mean sample width, while the estimated \ell is actually much SHORTER than the mean sample width above 0.15 K.

description: In this paper, we discuss how globular clusters (GCs) structural and observational properties can be used to infer the presence of a black hole system (BHS) inhabiting their inner regions. We propose a novel way to identify the BHS size, defined as the GC radius containing a mass contributed equally from stars and stellar BHs. Using this definition, similar to the well-known concept of "influence radius", we found a "fundamental plane" connecting the BHS typical density with the GC central surface density profile, total luminosity and observational half-mass radius. Our approach allows us to define a unique way to connect the observational GCs parameters with their dark content. Comparing our results with observed Milky Way GCs, we found that many of them likely host, at the present time, as many as several hundreds of BHs. These BHS are characterized by a relatively low typical density, $ρ_\bhs \sim 10-10^5\Ms$ pc$^{-3}$ and composed of relatively massive BHs, with average masses in the range $m_\bhs = 14-22\Ms$. We also show that a similar approach can be used to find Milky Way GCs potentially hosting an intermediate-mass black hole.

The Securitization of Development and its Impact on Peacebuilding: A study of Canadian Mission in Afghanistan
Creators: name: Khan, Saleha
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: After the attacks of 9/11, the policies related to national security, especially in Western nations, took a fundamental shift towards viewing weak and fragile states as security threats. The international community poured in an enormous amount of aid and resources to rebuild the fragile Afghanistan as part of the peacebuilding mission. This substantial investment was a recognition that peace and stability in Afghanistan were important to establishing and maintaining international security. Building on the existing literature on securitization, development and peacebuilding, this paper analyzes how securitization of development has impacted the peacebuilding process in Afghanistan using the post 9/11 Canadian mission as an example. The Copenhagen School’s securitization theory is used as a framework to understand how Canada securitized development through the language of securitization. The analyses of official policy documents show that Canada’s position remained that by helping failed or fragile states like Afghanistan, it is also securing its national security interests. The securitization resulted in framing the focus of peacebuilding in Afghanistan through a lens of security for Canada. This was demonstrated through the prioritization of the military component of the mission over development priorities, signifying the importance given to conventional security over a more inclusive concept of security such as human security. Furthermore, securitization of development ended up undermining the peacebuilding process by pushing aside essential tenets of development. The failure to establish local agency, aid ineffectiveness, local-capacity building and budget imbalances were some of the challenges arising as a consequence. Eventually, increased donor fatigue, particularly due to the volatile security situation, resulted in withdrawal from the complex mission. One of the main lessons learned from the post 9/11 Canadian peacebuilding mission in Afghanistan is that securitization policies designed to bring peace and stability in a post-conflict Afghanistan were ineffective.

description: IBM Global Services Application Management Services (AMS) Australia provides application development and support services, on an outsourcing basis, to a variety of clients. Typically, the organization delivers more than 3,000 work products in a year, with over 1,000 projects completed within overall schedule, budget, and productivity commitments. Client expectations of service standards increase year by year, requiring corresponding improvements in service delivery capability. In July 1997, IBM Australia began providing application management services to a major client. Services were initially provided by over 2,500 staff members in 17 locations, servicing over 370 applications accessed by more than 55,000 users. Over the next six years, the service delivery teams were transformed into an organization whose practices have now been formally assessed at Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) for Systems Engineering and Software Engineering, Version 1.1 (CMMI-SE/SW, V 1.1) maturity level 5. Significant improvements to software practices led to improvements in cost, on-time delivery, on-budget delivery, and client satisfaction achievements. Over the same period, an application development productivity improvement of 76 percent delivered cost savings of A$412 million. In May 2004, the Software Process Achievement Award Committee selected AMS Australia to receive a Software Process Achievement Award in recognition of those achievements. This report describes the history and experiences of the process improvement initiatives that transformed the AMS Australia organization.

Solving the full radial equation in terms of hypergeometric functions, we provide an exact analytical expression for the spectrum. We find that the frequencies are purely imaginary, and we confirm our results by computing them numerically. Although the scalar field that perturbs the black hole is electrically neutral, an instability similar to that seen in charged scalar perturbations of the Reissner-Nordström black hole is observed.

description: A unified homogenization procedure for split ring metamaterials taking into account time and spatial dispersion is introduced. The procedure is based on two coupled systems of equations. The first one comes from an approximation of the metamaterial as a cubic arrangement of coupled LC circuits, giving the relation between currents and local magnetic field. The second equation comes from macroscopic Maxwell equations, and gives the relation between the macroscopic magnetic field and the average magnetization of the metamaterial. It is shown that electromagnetic and magnetoinductive waves propagating in the metamaterial are obtained from this analysis. Therefore, the proposed time and spatially dispersive permeability accounts for the characterization of the complete spectrum of waves of the metamaterial. Finally, it is shown that the proposed theory is in good quantitative and qualitative agreement with full wave simulations.

A Langevin approach to multi-scale modeling

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In plasmas, distribution functions often demonstrate long anisotropic tails or otherwise significant deviations from local Maxwellians. The tails, especially if they are pulled out from the bulk, pose a serious challenge for numerical simulations as resolving both the bulk and the tail on the same mesh is often challenging. A multi-scale approach, providing evolution equations for the bulk and the tail individually, could offer a resolution in the sense that both populations could be treated on separate meshes, or different reduction techniques applied to the bulk and the tail population. In this letter, we propose a multi-scale method which allows us to split a distribution function into a bulk and a tail so that both populations remain genuine, non-negative distribution functions and may carry density, momentum, and energy. The proposed method is based on the observation that the motion of an individual test particle in a plasma obeys a stochastic differential equation, also referred to as a Langevin equation. This allows us to define transition probabilities between the bulk and the tail and to provide evolution equations for both populations separately.

The N2D+ (3-2) integrated emission is concentrated in two condensations, with masses of 2-3 and 9 M_sun and diameters of 0.05 and 0.09 pc, respectively. The high deuterium fractionation (0.1) and the line parameters in the N2D+ condensations indicate that they are likely low- to intermediate-mass pre-stellar cores, even though other scenarios are possible.

description: Many organizations report dramatic benefits from the adoption of software product line practice. Organizations that have established software engineering process discipline are better poised to succeed with product lines. While we acknowledge that there are different paths to successful process discipline, in this technical note, we concentrate on approaches based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models. We describe practices that are most crucial to product line success. While some of these relate directly to the CMMI models process areas, others are uniquely important to product lines. In this technical note, we first present fundamental concepts of software product lines. We then describe important product line practices as they have been documented in A Framework for Software Product Line Practice (framework). We next present an overview of the CMMI models, followed by a description of the general relationships between the framework and CMMI models. We amplify this comparison with a detailed example showing the relationship between configuration management practices in CMMI and in the framework. We conclude by describing the ways in which organizations can build upon their process improvement efforts to achieve success with product lines and realize additional benefits through the use of both technologies.

description: The approach to thermal equilibrium, or thermalization, in isolated quantum systems is among the most fundamental problems in statistical physics. Recent theoretical studies have revealed that thermalization in isolated quantum systems has several remarkable features, which emerge from quantum entanglement and are quite distinct from those in classical systems. Experimentally, well isolated and highly controllable ultracold quantum gases offer an ideal system to study the nonequilibrium dynamics in isolated quantum systems, triggering intensive recent theoretical endeavors on this fundamental subject. Besides thermalization, many isolated quantum systems show intriguing behavior in relaxation processes, especially prethermalization. Prethermalization occurs when there is a clear separation in relevant time scales and has several different physical origins depending on individual systems. In this review, we overview theoretical approaches to the problems of thermalization and prethermalization.

The complexity of the translations differ considerably, whereas the services concerned are equally simple. However, the service concerned in the case of the simpler translation is far more powerful than the service concerned in the other case.

description: Emma Crosby, Port Simpson, to Susie McKay, 83 Cyan(?) Street, Toronto. Discusses the visit of Martha Cartmell from the Woman's Missionary Society (WMS), and relates their conversations regarding the future of the girls' home. This includes details about the WMS' seeming lack of interest in the "Indian work," and control issues between the Crosbys and some of the girls' home staff. Reflects on the need for a clear understanding about Mr. Crosby's relation to the endeavour. Inquires about any major policy changes within the WMS. Notes that the matron of the girls' home has been made its treasurer, so the Crosbys must submit privately-received donations to her. Mentions other personality issues among staff of the girls' home, relates recent social evenings with other ladies, and comments on her older daughters who are now in Ontario. Requests that Susie inform their sister Eliza of the circumstances above should the latter be a delegate to the WMS.
Dynamical violation of scale invariance and the dilaton in a cold Fermi gas

description: We use the large N approximation to find an exotic phase of a cold, two-dimensional, N-component Fermi gas which exhibits dynamically broken approximate scale symmetry. We identify a particular weakly damped collective excitation as the dilaton, the pseudo-Goldstone boson associated with the broken approximate scale symmetry. We argue that the symmetry breaking phase is stable for a range of parameters of the theory and there is a fluctuation induced first order quantum phase transition between the normal and the scale symmetry breaking phases which can be driven by tuning the chemical potential. We find that the compressibility of the gas at its lower critical density is anomalously large, 2N times that of a perfect gas at the same density.

Software Component Certification: 10 Useful Distinctions

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Using software components to develop mission-critical systems poses a number of technical, organizational, and economic challenges. One persistent and largely unaddressed challenge is how the consumers of software components—that is, the developers of mission-critical systems—can obtain a meaningful level of trust in the runtime behavior of software components. The most frequently cited concerns are centered on issues of security; for example, trust that a component does not contain malicious code or exhibit vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious code. There are, however, other concerns about software component behavior that can be just as important. For example, in an embedded weapon system, it may be crucial to trust that a component will always execute a function within a particular time bound or never introduce unbounded priority inversion. Certification is a practical, proven means of establishing trust in various sorts of things in other disciplines and is, therefore, a natural contender for developing trust in software components. This technical note does not propose a particular certification regimen for components. Rather, it introduces a series of 10 distinctions that can help in understanding different aspects of certification in the context of software components.

Period-Amplitude Co-variation in Biomolecular Oscillators

description: The period and amplitude of biomolecular oscillators are functionally important properties in multiple contexts. For a biomolecular oscillator, the overall constraints in how tuning of amplitude affects period, and vice versa, are generally unclear. Here we investigate this co-variation of the period and amplitude in mathematical models of biomolecular oscillators using both simulations and analytical approximations. We computed the amplitude-period co-variation of eleven benchmark biomolecular oscillators as their parameters were individually varied around a nominal value, classifying the various co-variation patterns such as a simultaneous increase/ decrease in period and amplitude. Next, we repeated the classification using a power norm-based amplitude metric, to account for the amplitudes of the many biomolecular species that may be part of the oscillations, finding largely similar trends. Finally, we calculate "scaling laws" of period-amplitude co-variation for a subset of these benchmark oscillators finding that as the approximated period increases, the upper bound of the amplitude increases, or reaches a constant value. Based on these results, we discuss the effect of different parameters on the type of period-amplitude co-variation as well as the difficulty in achieving an oscillation with large amplitude and small period.

description: Modern society depends on software systems of ever-increasing scope and complexity in virtually every sphere of human activity, including business, finance, energy, transportation, education, communication, government, and defense. Because the consequences of failure can be severe, dependable functionality and security are essential. As a result, software assurance is emerging as an important discipline for the development, acquisition, and operation of software systems and services that provide requisite levels of dependability and security. This report is the first volume in the Software Assurance Curriculum Project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This report presents a body of knowledge from which to create a Master of Software Assurance degree program, as both a stand-alone offering and as a track within existing software engineering and computer science master‘s degree programs. The report details the process used to create the curriculum and presents the body of knowledge, curriculum architecture, student prerequisites, and expected student outcomes. It also outlines an implementation plan for faculty and other professionals who are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining graduate software engineering programs that have a focus on software assurance knowledge and practices. The second volume, Undergraduate Course Outlines (CMU/SEI-2010-TR-019), presents seven course outlines that could be used in an undergraduate curriculum specialization for software assurance.
