description: Because most organizations have a substantial legacy base of existing software assets, few development efforts start from scratch. However, there has not been a systematic way to identify components for reuse or to understand the types of changes that would be required for insertion into a software product line architecture or a new software architecture. Options Analysis for Reengineering (OAR) is an approach for making decisions on mining software assets. Mining involves rehabilitating parts of an old system for use in a new system. OAR identifies potential reusable components and analyzes the changes that would be needed to rehabilitate them for reuse within a software product line or new software architecture. OAR also provides an analysis of mining options, as well as the cost, effort, level of difficulty, and risks associated with each option. Recently, OAR has been applied to help a lead system integrator (LSI) make effective decisions on reuse. An LSI is the agent for an organization that is responsible for acquiring a large software-intensive system or system of systems. This note describes the use of OAR to guide decision making on mining assets within an LSI context, referred to as LSI OAR.

description: Les réseaux sociaux sont omniprésents dans nos vies quotidiennes. Au travers de ces moyens technologiques, nous sommes exposés à un nombre infini d’images qui renforcent les standards entourant le corps des femmes, notamment, un corps mince et athlétique. Ces idéaux sont ensuite intériorisés par les femmes, créant une pression immense à adopter des habitudes de vie, comme l’entrainement physique et les diètes alimentaires, pour atteindre ces standards. Ces standards, étant irréalistes et donc difficilement atteignables, mènent aussi les femmes à vivre des inconforts émotionnels quant à leur image corporelle. À partir des réponses de 61 jeunes femmes à un questionnaire en ligne visant à explorer les relations entre l’exposition à des images représentant des standards corporels dans les réseaux sociaux et leur image corporelle, nous avons mis en lumière les implications psychologiques et sociales de ce phénomène selon une perspective analytique goffmanienne, basée sur différents concepts d’Erving Goffman dont la présentation de soi, les stéréotypes féminins dans la photographie, les normes et les stigmates. Cette étude quantitative de type descriptive corrélationnelle a d’abord permis de démontrer que les femmes ressentent bel et bien une pression à ressembler aux images représentant une apparence corporelle idéale dans les réseaux sociaux. Elle a ensuite démontré que ces images influencent négativement l’image corporelle des femmes et que plus elles y sont exposées, plus elles ont recours à l’entrainement physique et les diètes alimentaires pour modifier leur apparence corporelle. De plus, les femmes qui publient des selfies plus fréquemment, utilisent davantage des moyens technologiques pour modifier leurs selfies, renforçant ainsi les standards corporels irréalistes. Enfin, plus les femmes comparent leur apparence corporelle avec celle des célébrités et des paires sur les réseaux sociaux, moins elles en sont satisfaites et plus elles en sont préoccupées. Ces comparaisons avec les paires sont aussi associées à l’autodénigrement de leur corps, la honte envers ce dernier et le besoin ressenti de perdre du poids.

description: Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a high prevalence in Canada, thus research on this neurodegenerative condition is essential to further our knowledge on the etiopathogenesis of this condition. PD is characterized by a loss of dopamine in the cells. This neurotransmitter functions by sending signals from the brain to the muscles to control movements. As a result of the lack of dopamine, there are several symptoms including tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity. Currently, dopaminergic therapy is the standard for managing the physical motor symptoms associated with PD. This therapy does not address the psychological or quality of life of a patient with the disease. Yoga practice has been shown to improve fatigue, stress, depression and well-being in patients with chronic illnesses. Recent research suggests that yoga can improve physiological and psychological symptoms in PD. Objectives: The aim of this structured literature review is to determine whether the literature indicates that yoga has a positive therapeutic benefit in physiological and psychological symptoms among patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: We performed a comprehensive search in the PubMed and Web of science electronic databases and searched the references from the articles found to review relevant articles in English, French and Portuguese, using keywords "yoga” and “Parkinson’s" and “quality of life”. Inclusion and exclusion criteria of the articles were predetermined and reviewed. Results: A total of 126 articles published from 2000 to 2017 were available. Of 126 articles, 7 articles were included in this review. Based on the available literature, yoga could be considered as an effective adjuvant for the patients with PD. Conclusion:The existing evidence supports that the practice of yoga has shown to be effective in improving various physiological and psychological symptoms in PD. Limited literature is available on the topic therefore further research needs to be completed.

description: Within the mirror dark matter model and dissipative dark matter models in general, halos around galaxies with active star formation (including spirals and gas rich dwarfs) are dynamical: they expand and contract in response to heating and cooling processes. Ordinary Type II supernovae (SN) can provide the dominant heat source, possible if kinetic mixing interaction exists with strength $ε\sim 10^{-9} - 10^{-10}$. Dissipative dark matter halos can be modelled as a fluid governed by Euler's equations. Around sufficiently isolated and unperturbed galaxies the halo can relax to a steady state configuration, where heating and cooling rates locally balance and hydrostatic equilibrium prevails. These steady state conditions can be solved to derive the physical properties, including the halo density and temperature profiles, for model galaxies. Here, we have considered idealized spherically symmetric galaxies within the mirror dark particle model, as in the earlier paper [paper I, arXiv:1707.02528], but we have assumed that the local halo heating in the SN vicinity dominates over radiative sources. With this assumption, physically interesting steady state solutions arise which we compute for a representative range of model galaxies. The end result is a rather simple description of the dark matter halo around idealized spherically symmetric systems, characterized in principle by only one parameter, with physical properties that closely resemble the empirical properties of disk galaxies.

description: The SEI has been developing a list of scenarios to characterize quality attributes. The SEI has also been conducting Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) evaluations. One output of an ATAM evaluation is a collection of scenarios that relate to quality attribute requirements for the specific system being evaluated. In this report, we compare the scenarios elicited from five ATAM evaluations with the scenarios used to characterize the quality attributes. This effort was designed to validate the coverage of the existing set of general scenarios and to analyze trends in the risks uncovered in ATAM reports.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized on nickel nitrate coated nickel foam in co-flow diffusion flames. Two different fuel structures, methane and ethylene, were used to synthesize CNTs. The effect of fuel structure on CNTs was systematically studied. Results showed that carbon nanomaterials, including nanotubes and nanofibers, were successfully synthesized in all conditions in methane flames, while, in ethylene flames, bamboo-like CNTs were synthesized in limited conditions. It was also found that carbon nanomaterials synthesized in ethylene flames had more defects than that of in methane flames. In addition, metal nickel nanoparticles acted as catalysts in the synthesis of CNTs, and carbon nanomaterials diameter was dependent on the catalyst particle size. Flame-synthesized CNTs were based on the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism, and a “recursive growth mechanism” for CNTs growth was proposed, which would be more conducive to the understanding of CNTs growth mechanism. This method offers another possibility for low-cost, large-scale synthesis of carbon nanomaterials.

description: In this sequel to arXiv:1711.11507 we classify the boundaries of amplituhedra relevant for determining the branch points of general two-loop amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory. We explain the connection to on-shell diagrams, which serves as a useful cross-check. We determine the branch points of all two-loop NMHV amplitudes by solving the Landau equations for the relevant configurations and are led thereby to a conjecture for the symbol alphabets of all such amplitudes.

description: Quality attribute requirements such as those for performance, security, modifiability, reliability, and usability have a significant influence on the software architecture of a system. At the Software Engineering Institute, we are studying and codifying the relationship between quality attribute requirements and the architectural design strategies that impact their achievement. In CMU/SEI-2000-TN-017, we introduced the notion of quality attribute design primitives. Quality attribute design primitives (or attribute primitives) are architectural building blocks that target the achievement of one or sometimes several quality attribute requirements. Our intent is to codify a fairly comprehensive set of attribute primitives in a manner that articulates how each attribute primitive makes its specific contribution toward the achievement of one or several attribute goals. We believe this will provide a very powerful language for constructing or analyzing software architectures in relation to quality attribute requirements. To determine the expressive and explanatory power of these attribute primitives, we will examine various classes of systems. This paper uses attribute primitives to examine the qualities of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)-based systems. In particular, we find that attribute primitives hold promise for providing insight into the quality attribute consequences of using various EJB infrastructure features.
Perspectives on scaling and multiscaling in passive scalar turbulence

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We revisit the well-known problem of multiscaling in substances passively advected by homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows or passive scalar turbulence. To that end we propose a two-parameter continuum hydrodynamic model for an advected substance concentration $θ$, parametrised jointly by $y$ and $\overline y$, that characterise the spatial scaling behaviour of the variances of the advecting stochastic velocity and the stochastic additive driving force, respectively. We analyse it within a one-loop dynamic renormalisation group method to calculate the multiscaling exponents of the equal-time structure functions of $θ$. We show how the interplay between the advective velocity and the additive force may lead to simple scaling or multiscaling. In one limit, our results reduce to the well-known results from the Kraichnan model for passive scalar. Our framework of analysis should be of help for analytical approaches for the still intractable problem of fluid turbulence itself.

title: Modifying and Controlling Diffusion Properties of Molecular Dopants in Organic Semiconductors
Creators: name: Reiser, Patrick
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2019

description: Electronic or electrochemical doping of organic semiconductors is a common technique to improve charge carrier injection and charge transport properties of organic layers. However, since dopant diffusion can negatively affect the lifetime of organic devices, preventing molecular dopants from migrating is of great interest. Here, the diffusion properties of molecular dopants are investigated in a sequential doping process studied nondestructively by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on device relevant length scales to better understand and to identify process parameters like saturation and charge transfer efficiency. In the second part of this work, a new functionalized n-dopant is characterized which is expected to facilitate a controllable immobilization in a broad class of organic semiconductors. The primary anchoring strategy relies on a chemical reaction via azides forming covalent bonds which ultimately prevents the dopant from migrating. Using XPS the charge transfer of the new dopant is directly monitored in combination with the reaction of its anchor group, allowing to correlate chemical reactions with doping or diffusion properties.

description: Micro-solid oxide fuel cells based on thin films have strong potential for use in portable power devices. However, devices based on silicon substrates typically involve thin-film metallic electrodes which are unstable at high temperatures. Devices based on bulk metal substrates overcome these limitations, though performance is hindered by the challenge of growing state-of-the-art epitaxial materials on metals. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the growth of epitaxial cathode materials on metal substrates (stainless steel) commercially supplied with epitaxial electrolyte layers (1.5 {um (Y2O3)0.15(ZrO2)0.85 (YSZ) + 50 nm CeO2). We create epitaxial mesoporous cathodes of (La0.60Sr0.40)0.95Co0.20Fe0.80O3 (LSCF) on the substrate by growing LSCF/MgO vertically aligned nanocomposite films by pulsed laser deposition, followed by selectively etching out the MgO. To enable valid comparison with the literature, the cathodes are also grown on single-crystal substrates, confirming state-of-the-art performance with an area specific resistance of 100ohmegacm2 at 500dC and activation energy down to 0.97 eV. The work marks an important step toward the commercialization of high-performance micro-solid oxide fuel cells for portable power applications.

description: India’s telecom sector has evolved from a government monopoly (pre-1984) to one of the world’s most competitive markets.  The introduction of Reliance Jio in 2016 disrupted the industry by reducing data costs and increasing broadband penetration.  Before Jio’s entry, India's average data consumption per user was 600 MB/month, which surged to over 10 GB/month post-Jio’s launch. This shift reshaped consumer behavior and forced competitors to lower prices and upgrade networks. However, challenges remain, including poor network coverage in rural areas, inconsistent internet speeds, high service costs, and regulatory barriers. This research investigates these issues through a structured survey and industry analysis.

description: Organizations that are using the CERT® Resilience Management Model and organizations that are considering using it want information about the business value of implementing resilience processes and practices, and how to determine which ones to implement. This report describes the SEI research study that begins to address this need. It includes a discussion of the completed phase 1 study and a proposed phase 2 project. Phase 1 included forming a hypothesis and set of research questions and using a variety of techniques to collect data and evaluate whether resilience practices have a discernible (measurable) effect on operational resilience-that is, an organization's ability to continue to carry out its mission (provide critical services) in the presence of operational stress and disruption. The outcomes of phase 1 provide the foundation for the proposed phase 2. The longer term goal includes developing a quantitative, validated business case for prioritizing and implementing specific resilience practices, including decision criteria for selecting and measuring investments in improved resilience.

description: We propose a magnon realization of 3D topological insulator in the AIII (chiral symmetry) topological class. The topological magnon gap opens due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. The existence of the topological invariant is established by calculating the bulk winding number of the system. Within our model, the surface magnon Dirac cone is protected by the sublattice chiral symmetry. By analyzing the magnon surface modes, we confirm that the backscattering is prohibited. By weakly breaking the chiral symmetry, we observe the magnon Hall response on the surface due to opening of the gap. Finally, we show that by changing certain parameters the system can be tuned between the chiral topological insulator (mcTI), three dimensional magnon anomalous Hall (3D-mAH), and Weyl magnon phases.

description: Recently, a lot of attention is given to income variations occurring at the top of the income distribution. “What happens to the top 1%?” is a question of crucial importance on the political level (Occupy Wall Street Movement) as well as on income inequality measurement level. Despite this increased interest, there is no rigorous measurement framework available in the literature for the measurement of “indignation”. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a simple framework for the measurement of indignation. It exposes the ethical principles underlying an indignation index and develops restricted positional dominance conditions that produce robust orderings of indignation between income distributions. It also proposes a parametric class of indignation indices that may be used to produce complete orderings when the restricted positional dominance tests do not lead to satisfactory orderings. Finally, the paper offers a brief empirical illustration using the World Top Incomes Database. / Récemment, beaucoup d’attention a été accordé aux variations de revenu au sommet de la distribution des revenus. “Que se passe-t-il avec les 1% des revenus les plus élevés?” est devenu une question d’importance tant du point de vue politique (Mouvement Occupy Wall Street) que du point de vue de la mesure des inégalités de revenu. Malgré cet intérêt récent, il n’existe pas dans la littérature de cadre de mesure rigoureux pour la mesure de l’ “indignation”. Cet article propose de combler cette lacune en proposant un cadre simple pour la mesure de l’indignation. Les principes éthiques sous-jacents à un indice d’indignation sont énoncés et les conditions de dominance positionnelle sont développés afin de permettre de produire des ordres robustes de distribution de revenus en terme d’indignation. L’article propose aussi une classe d’indices paramétriques afin de produire des ordres complets en absence de dominance. Finalement, l’article présente une illustration empirique à l’aide du World Top Incomes Database.

description: Hemp-clay concrete for building thermal insulation can be made of earth available on-site, obtained from earthworks or ancient clay building deconstruction. Craftsmen evaluate qualitatively the slip binding capacity in order to optimize and control the formulation with simple field oriented tests. There is a need for scientific works to understand the rheological behavior of clay slips depending on all the parameters that can vary on-site, such as the water to clay ratio, the clay activity, the particle size distribution. This knowledge would allow to define quantitative field-oriented tests that can be used on-site by craftsmen. In this study, the variability of 27 earths was first assessed through a simple qualitative test to identify their behavior at different water levels, and conventional geotechnical identification tests. Slips behave as non-Newtonian fluids, with an apparent yield stress and a shear rate dependent viscosity. These two characteristics help to quantify the slip cohesion. Both yield stress and viscosity of slips with different earths were studied thanks to a vane-geometry rheometer and a simple test, developed for this study, which could be used on-site: the plate test. The results allow to assess the validity of this test to identify the yield stress level.

Immigration Wage Gaps in the Private Sector and Public Sector in Canada
Creators: name: Ma, Xiaotong
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the wage disparity between immigrant workers and Canadian-born workers across the private and public sectors, using the Public Use Microdata Files of the 2006 census and the 2011 National Household Survey from Statistics Canada. Both sets of data suggest that immigrant workers earn significantly less than their native peers, and public-sector workers enjoy a higher pay premium compared to their private sector counterparts. The 2006 census data results show that both male and female immigrants receive a higher wage than native workers in the public sector, but the 2011 results, however, suggest that female immigrants experience a wage penalty in both the private and public sectors. This paper will conclude with potential implications for policy.

description: A strong gravity naked singular region can give important clues towards understanding classical as well as spontaneous nature of General Relativity. We propose here a model for energy emission from a naked singular region in a self-similar dust spacetime by gluing two self-similar dust solutions at the Cauchy horizon. The energy is defined and evaluated as a surface energy of a null hypersurface, the null shell. Also included are scenarios of spontaneous creation or disappearance of a singularity, end of inflation, black hole formation and bubble nucleation. Our examples investigated here explicitly show that one can model unlimitedly luminous and energetic objects in the framework of General Relativity.

description: Energy is essential to improve the social and economic standing of humanity as well as its standard of living. This study's objectives were to design, produce, and examine the parabolic dish solar cookers' thermal performance. This device was constructed on a steel plate with a full-circumference mirror glass reflector. The sun's rays were focused on this reflecting surface, creating the high temperature required for cooking. Cooking and monitoring the temperature (energy concentration) reached at the bottom of the cooking pot were used to test the device. The no-load test results for the pentagonal shaped cooking pot indicated that the maximum temperature at the first Figure of Merit and midpoint were 0.314 /W/m2 and 280.52, respectively.


The second Figure of Merit, thermal efficiency, cooking power, and standard cooking power were, according to the load testing findings, 555.1 W, 480.68 W, 42.04%, and 0.539, in that order. During the cooling test, optical efficiency of 0.37 and heat loss factors of 43.66 W/K.m2 were discovered. Furthermore, cooking the same quantity of rice and maize in half a litter of water (300 g each) took forty minutes, but cooking Shiro Wot in one litter of water (nine soup spoons) only took nineteen minutes. The study demonstrates the usage of parabolic dishes in solar cookers for cooking. The study's conclusions include suggestions for enhancing the cooking vessel's design and encouraging the use of parabolic dish solar cookers in isolated and off-grid areas. In general, the study advances the field of economical and environmentally sustainable cooking technology and emphasizes the importance of tackling energy poverty and environmental sustainability in the framework of global development.

Measurement-Induced Holography and Emergent Gravity: A First-Principles Framework with Experimental Signatures
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Dristi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: We present a complete derivation of spacetime geometry and gravity emerging from fractalpatterned quantum measurements. Beginning with a Fibonacci-tiled Lindblad operator L, we rigorously derive a log-periodic modulation of the Higgs potential:Veff (ϕ) = V0(ϕ)1 + ϵ cosβ ln ϕϕ0 ,where ϵ = ℏλ/(γv2) (ϵ ≲ 10−5from LHC data; note that this is distinct from the value ϵ = 0.05used in holographic phase modulation experiments). A conformal mapping to a lima¸con geometry,S(θ) = 1 + cos θ, is employed; further derivation of S(θ) from entanglement entropy (via, e.g., thereplica trick or AdS/CFT) is in progress. This suppression function modulates local spacetimecurvature via a modified Ryu-Takayanagi relation,δgµν =κ4GNS(θ)¯gµν,with κ = ϵβ2 ≈ 10−3. Time emerges as a regularized modular flow teff ∝ ϕN under the thermaltime hypothesis. We provide explicit, falsifiable experimental predictions with SNR estimates forgravitational wave detectors.

description: Next-generation networks are expected to support a wide variety of services. Some services such as video, voice, and plant control traffic have explicit timing requirements on a per-message basis rather than on the average. In this paper, we develop a general model of reservation-based dual-link networks to support real-time communication. We examine the desirable properties of this network and the difficulties in achieving these properties. We then introduce the concept of coherence and develop a theory of coherent dual-link networks. We show that a coherent dual-link network can be analyzed as though it is a centralized system. We then discuss practical considerations in implementing a dual-link network, and implications of this work to address problems observed in the IEEE 802.6 metropolitan area network standard.

description: Let $d \geq 2$, $α\in (0,2)$, and $X$ be the rectilinear $α$-stable process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We first present a geometric characterization of an open subset $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ so that the part process $X^D$ of $X$ in $D$ is irreducible. We then study the properties of the transition density functions of $X^D$, including the strict positivity property as well as their sharp two-sided bounds in $C^{1,1}$ domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our bounds are shown to be sharp for a class of $C^{1,1}$ domains.

description: Evanescent coupling between a silica optical microbottle resonator and a GaAs electromechanical resonator is demonstrated. This coupling provides high optical sensitivity and efficient piezoelectric controllability of mechanical motion. Opto-electro-mechanical feedback control based on optomechanical detection and electromechanical control is performed in both heating and cooling regimes at room temperature. This feedback scheme can be extended to the efficient control of thermal mechanical motion in electromechanical resonators with arbitrary structures and materials.

description: In the Appraiser Program of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), authorized Lead Assessors lead Capability Maturity Model-Based Appraisals for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPI). At the conclusion of each assessment, they are required to submit certain artifacts to the SEI. Data from assessments is recorded to provide the community with information on the state of the software community's process maturity, as related to the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software Version 1.1. Additional feedback data are required of a Lead Assessor in order to monitor the consistency of use of the assessment method for quality control purposes. Data are collected from Lead Assessors, assessment team members, and sponsors of the assessments. The results reported in this document reflect information sent to the SEI by Lead Assessors through a Lead Assessor's Requirements Checklist. The checklist aids the Lead Assessors in keeping track of their implementation of each of the method's requirements. The checklist also provides information back to the community regarding metrics being reported by Lead Assessors; this helps in more effective planning for future assessments. In addition, the checklist acts as a quality control mechanism to monitor the consistency of use of each of the method's activities.

description: We present grism spectra of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from 0.6-1.6 microns from the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. These new infrared grism data augment previous optical Advanced Camera for Surveys G800L 0.6-0.95 micron grism data in GOODS-South from the PEARS program, extending the wavelength covereage well past the G800L red cutoff. The ERS grism field was observed at a depth of 2 orbits per grism, yielding spectra of hundreds of faint objects, a subset of which are presented here. ELGs are studied via the Ha, [OIII], and [OII] emission lines detected in the redshift ranges 0.22.
Recurrence Relations for Wronskian Hermite Polynomials

description: We consider polynomials that are defined as Wronskians of certain sets of Hermite polynomials. Our main result is a recurrence relation for these polynomials in terms of those of one or two degrees smaller, which generalizes the well-known three term recurrence relation for Hermite polynomials. The polynomials are defined using partitions of natural numbers, and the coefficients in the recurrence relation can be expressed in terms of the number of standard Young tableaux of these partitions. Using the recurrence relation, we provide another recurrence relation and show that the average of the considered polynomials with respect to the Plancherel measure is very simple. Furthermore, we show that some existing results in the literature are easy corollaries of the recurrence relation.

Automatic stabilizers: A European Union design perspective
Creators: name: Shi, Haoran
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: This paper aims to investigate the effect of the criteria proposed by the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) on the effectiveness of automatic stabilizers in the European Union (EU) member states. Using balanced panel data from 1960 to 2016, this paper relies on a reduced form model to estimate the effectiveness of the automatic stabilizers, employing a three stage least square model. The cyclical components of the government budget reflect the stabilizing ability, primarily stemming from the expenditure side. The EU design causes the structural breaks in the behaviour of the automatic stabilizers of the member states prior to and after the adoption of the explicit requirements in the Maastricht Treaty, while some EU member members exhibited such a change since the beginning of the European Monetary System (EMS). In addition, the requirements on the government debt-to-GDP ratio limit the use of the automatic stabilizers in the EU member states. Lastly, several theoretical extensions of the automatic stabilizer concept are analyzed in the EU context.

description: В статье исследованы проблемы экономического сотрудничества в рамках Шанхайской организации сотрудничества. На основе анализа подходов государств-членов и концептуальных документов ШОС выявлено, что основной причиной низкой эффективности экономического взаимодействия являются конкурирующие интересы России и Китая. Эти крупные страны, когда-то выступавшие в роли локомотива ШОС, в настоящее время продвигают собственные геоэкономические проекты.
