description: We deal with the question of Masayoshi Hata: is every Peano continuum a topological fractal? A compact space $X$ is a topological fractal if there exists $\mathcal{F}$ a finite family of self-maps on $X$ such that $X=\bigcup_{f\in\mathcal{F}}f(X)$ and for every open cover $\mathcal{U}$ of $X$ there is $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that for all maps $f_1,\dots,f_n\in\mathcal{F}$ the set $f_1\circ\dots\circ f_n(X)$ is contained in some set $U\in\mathcal{U}$. In the paper we present some idea how to extend a topological fractal and we show that a Peano continuum is a topological fractal if it contains so-called self regenerating fractal with nonempty interior. A Hausdorff topological space $A$ is a self regenerating fractal if for every non-empty open subset $U$, $A$ is a topological fractal for some family of maps constant on $A\setminus U$. The notion of self regenerating fractal much better reflects the intuitive perception of self-similarity. We present some classical fractals which are self regenerating.

Exploring the Triggering Modes of Spectrum-Based Fault Localization: An Industrial Case

description: Fault localization is important for software development and maintenance. Among existing techniques, spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) is effective to locate bugs based on the execution coverage of passed and failed tests. However, current SBFL tools require the execution of all tests before suggesting any ranked list of suspicious locations. In reality, such all test execution can be very time-consuming; SBFL’s outputs based on the whole-suite execution can significantly delay developers’ debugging activities and jeopardize their productivity. For this paper, we were curious whether we can apply SBFL immediately after seeing one or several test failures, instead of waiting for all tests to finish their run. Specifically, with 28 injected bugs and 13 real bugs in a close-sourced software product, we collected the statement-level coverage for each test case, and investigated the usage of 25 alternative SBFL formulas. We triggered SBFL in five modes: (i) after the first test failure, (ii) after the first failure and some extra passed tests, (iii) after every test failure, (iv) at a specified time interval (e.g., every 2 minutes), or (v) after the complete execution of all tests. Our study shows interesting results. Compared with whole suite execution, triggering SBFL formulas earlier based on partial execution helps locate bugs more effectively. Among the five modes, the first-failure-driven mode works best. Additionally, we conducted similar experiments on 57 real bugs from the Defects4J dataset and observed similar phenomena. Our observations imply that instead of waiting for the completion of all test runs, it is quite promising to apply SBFL formulas immediately after the initial test failure. In this way, developers are likely to get better suggestions within a shorter period of time. Our research will help developers better adopt SBFL in practice.

description: A generalized version of the Kato-Bloch perturbation expansion is presented. It consists of replacing simple numbers appearing in the perturbative series by matrices. This leads to the fact that the dependence of the eigenvalues of the perturbed system on the strength of the perturbation is not necessarily polynomial. The efficiency of the matrix expansion is illustrated in three cases: the Mathieu equation, the anharmonic oscillator and weakly coupled Heisenberg chains. It is shown that the matrix expansion converges for a suitably chosen subspace and, for weakly coupled Heisenberg chains, it can lead to an ordered state starting from a disordered single chain. This test is usually failed by conventional perturbative approaches.

description: Trying to detect the gravitational wave (GW) signal emitted by a type II supernova is a main challenge for the GW community. Indeed, the corresponding waveform is not accurately modeled as the supernova physics is very complex; in addition, all the existing numerical simulations agree on the weakness of the GW emission, thus restraining the number of sources potentially detectable. Consequently, triggering the GW signal with a confidence level high enough to conclude directly to a detection is very difficult, even with the use of a network of interferometric detectors. On the other hand, one can hope to take benefit from the neutrino and optical emissions associated to the supernova explosion, in order to discover and study GW radiation in an event already detected independently. This article aims at presenting some realistic scenarios for the search of the supernova GW bursts, based on the present knowledge of the emitted signals and on the results of network data analysis simulations. Both the direct search and the confirmation of the supernova event are considered. In addition, some physical studies following the discovery of a supernova GW emission are also mentioned: from the absolute neutrino mass to the supernova physics or the black hole signature, the potential spectrum of discoveries is wide.

description: We discuss the phase structure and the equation of state for QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of $\ln Z$ with respect to quark chemical potential $μ_q$ up to fourth order are calculated for 2-flavor QCD, enabling estimates of the pressure, quark number density and associated susceptibilities as functions of $μ_q$ via a Taylor series expansion. Also, the phase transition line for 2 and 3-flavor QCD and the critical endpoint in the $(T, μ_q)$ plane are investigated in the low density regime.

description: With the complexity and interdependency of modern software sharply rising, the impact of security vulnerabilities and thus the value of broadly available patches has increased drastically. Despite this, it is unclear if the current landscape supports the same level of patch discoverability as that of vulnerabilities --- raising questions about whether patches are simply scare or if they are just hard to find (i.e., are there a lot of "secret patches"), and, equally important, what kind of patches are they (e.g., are they micropatchable). We seek to assess the current state of patching by analyzing patches for a four-month period of recent Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). At first glance, the state of patching seems abysmal --- only one-fourth of CVEs have a labelled patch on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). However, by searching for indicators on other popular security trackers (e.g., Debian's), we were able to find a lot more ``secret patches'', but the ratio of patched CVEs plateaued around fifty percent. Examining the discovered patches, we noticed that many were version updates, and less than one-tenth had machine accessible source-code micropatches. Using a custom tool that leverages contemporary version control, we were able to test the feasibility of automatically applying these micropatches to older versions of the software and found that approximately two-thirds of the patches can be applied to at least one old version. The failure cases were mostly due to lax practices pertaining to security fixes and general software development (e.g., releasing the fix along with other extraneous features). Reflecting on our investigations, we surmise that between existence, discoverability, and versatility of security patches, existence and discoverability are the bigger problems. As to why this is the case, we find that the answer may lie in the perverse incentive structures of the industry. We conclude with possible remediations and hope that our work at least raises public awareness of the current state of patching and encourages future work to improve the situation.

description: Motivated by the recent observation [Zeissler et al, Nature Comm. 11, 428 (2020)] of enigmatic radius-independent skyrmion Hall angle in chiral magnets, we derive skyrmion Hall angle based on the recent solution of skyrmions characterized by the sole length scale determined with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction strength and applied magnetic field. We find that the skyrmion Hall angle is independent of input current density and the length-scale which determines the radius of a skyrmion.This is corroborated with the single length-scale dependent skyrmion profile which is the solution of the Euler equation of polar angle representing magnetization. Although the magnitude of Hall angle may change with the change of profile (shape) of the skyrmion, it remains unchanged for a particular profile. With the application of tunable current along mutually perpendicular directions, this property enables us to propose an experimental setup by which the transverse motion of a skyrmion can be restricted so that the skyrmion can only traverse longitudinally. We further find the length-scale and input-current density independent Hall angles for merons where their transverse motion will be opposite depending on whether the spin at their centers are up or down, in agreement with an experiment.

description: Chemotherapy Related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI), also called chemobrain, diminishes cancer patient’s life quality. Breast cancer (BC) patients have been described to be importantly affected, however, the mechanism leading to CRCI has not been fully elucidated. Recent research proposes microglia as the main architect of CRCI, thus dysregulations in these cells could trigger CRCI. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of two drugs commonly used against breast cancer, cyclophosphamide (CTX) and epirubicin (EPI), on the microglia cell line SIM-A9, using the BC cell line, 4T1, as a control. Our results show that CTX and EPI decrease microglia-cell viability and increase cell death on a concentration-dependent manner, being 5 and 2 times more cytotoxic to microglia cell line than to breast cancer 4T1cells, respectively. Both chemotherapies induce cell cycle arrest and a significant increase in p53, p16 and γ-H2AX in breast cancer and microglia cells. Furthermore, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) diminishes as cell death increases, and both chemotherapies induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production on SIM-A9 and 4T1. Moreover, caspase activation increases with treatments and its pharmacological blockade inhibits CTX and EPI induced-cell death. Finally, low concentrations of CTX and EPI induce γ-H2AX, and EPI induces cytokine release, NO production and Iba-1 overexpression. These findings indicate that microglia cells are more sensitive to CTX and EPI than BC cells and undergo DNA damage and cell cycle arrest at very low concentrations, moreover EPI induces microglia activation and a pro-inflammatory profile.

description: This case study examines a common agricultural cooperative structure in the United States, namely that of a business which both sells farm supplies to its members and also markets, to others, the agricultural products of its members. The case concerns whether the United Agricultural Cooperative should sell the cooperative’s agronomy supply division. This division sells fertilizer, chemicals and seed. It also provides related services. The cooperative has received an acquisition inquiry from rapidly expanding agricultural retailer, Pinnacle Agricultural Holdings, LLC. The case allows readers to examine both detailed financial information as well as the cooperative’s political environment. The case ends with readers being asked to recommend a decision; namely should the cooperative sell the agronomy division or should it be kept? Professors can read the authors’ teaching note to learn recommended classroom teaching strategies and also to learn the actual decision which was made by this cooperative.

In addition, we prove that under certain mild additional conditions, the conjugacy is in fact Hölder continuous.

Agents for Automated User Experience Testing

Year: 2021

description: The automation of functional testing in software has allowed developers to continuously check for negative impacts on functionality throughout the iterative phases of development. This is not the case for User eXperience (UX), which has hitherto relied almost exclusively on testing with real users. User testing is a slow endeavour that can become a bottleneck for development of interactive systems. To address this problem, we here propose an agent based approach for automatic UX testing. We develop agents with basic problem solving skills and a core affect model, allowing us to model an artificial affective state as they traverse different levels of a game. Although this research is still at a primordial state, we believe the results here presented make a strong case for the use of intelligent agents endowed with affective computing models for automating UX testing.

For the important case of asymmetric coupling functions, we find a much richer dynamical behavior compared to that of symmetrically coupled populations of identical oscillators (Okuda and Kuramoto, 1991). It includes three types of bistabilities, higher order entrainment and the existence of states with unusual stability properties. All possible routes to synchronization of the populations are presented and some stability boundaries are obtained analytically.

description: In the field of international conflict resolution, spirituality is yet to be fully acknowledged as a valuable element in efforts towards peace. The study presented here seeks to change this by illustrating the relationship between spirituality and conflict resolution from the perspective of the practitioner. It focuses specifically on whether and how spirituality plays a role as a motivator for conflict resolution work. Using the grounded theory methodology, through the coding and analysis of twelve interviews, this study explores transformational moments in the lives of conflict resolution practitioners and demonstrates a connection between spirituality and a drive towards conflict resolution work. Furthermore, the study discovers five key spiritual components that not only motivate practitioners but also make them better at their jobs. Finally, it concludes by stressing the positive effects of spirituality on conflict resolution, and recommends the incorporation of spirituality in conflict resolution work as well as in educational programs.

description: In the fall of 2012, ConAgra Foods had the opportunity to become the largest private-label packaged food producer in North America. ConAgra was considering the purchase of Ralcorp, a large private brands manufacturer. This could be a strategic step for ConAgra, since the potential acquisition seemed aligned to the firm’s strategy for growth. Ralcorp, with revenue and assets representing about one third of ConAgra’s, was large enough to impact ConAgra’s business strategy and financial structure. This case study provides both firm level and private brands industry data to assess the potential acquisition. Ranges of implied stock prices could be estimated by using Discounted Cash Flow Valuation, Comparable Multiples, and Comparable Merger and Acquisitions Transaction analysis. A comparison of implied stock prices and actual stock price by the time of the case leads to the topic of control premium paid during acquisitions and to potential enterprise synergies.

description: King’s Hawaiian has been family owned for more than six decades, and the ‘aloha spirit’ runs deep. But, rapid growth in recent years has exposed serious challenges. From production inefficiencies to supply chain disruptions, management recognizes the need to rapidly evolve their family business to a professionally managed one. Their relationship-based supply chain worked for a family firm, but will this approach continue to work as they expand rapidly? A disruption in their egg supply exposed the firm to risks they never anticipated. Now, they are rethinking their entire supply chain, including their most important raw material: flour. How can they strategically manage their raw material needs while sustaining double-digit growth? How do they identify and mitigate risks in their chain? King’s Hawaiian knows its success is in its supply chain, including their unique delivery model. Getting this right is critical to their mission: to deliver their aloha spirit to every household, every day

description: Broad sets of spectroscopic observations comprising multiple lines represent an excellent opportunity for diagnostics of the properties of the prominence plasma and the dynamics of their fine structures. However, they also bring significant challenges when they are compared with synthetic spectra provided by radiative transfer modeling. In this work, we provide a statistical spectroscopic analysis of a unique dataset of coordinated prominence observations in the Lyman lines (Ly_alpha to Ly_delta) and the Mg II k and h lines. The observed data were obtained by the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) spectrograph on board of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO) satellite and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) on 22 October 2013. We focus on the following profile characteristics: the shape of the observed line profiles based on the number of distinct peaks, the integrated line intensity, the center-to-peak ratio describing the depth of the reversal of two-peaked profiles, and the asymmetry of these peaks. We show that the presence of noise has a negligible effect on the integrated intensity of all observed lines, but it significantly affects the classification of spectral profiles using the number of distinct peaks, the reversal depth, and also the peak asymmetry. We also demonstrate that by taking the influence of noise into account, we can assess which profile characteristics in which spectral lines are suitable for diagnostics of different properties of the observed prominence.

description: Polarized Raman scattering and infrared reflection spectra of hexagonal HoMnO$_3$ single crystals in the temperature range 10-300 K are reported. Group-theoretical analysis is performed and scattering selection rules for the second order scattering processes are presented. Based on the results of lattice dynamics calculations, performed within the shell model, the observed lines in the spectra are assigned to definite lattice vibrations. The magnetic ordering of Mn ions, which occurs below T$_N$=76 K, is shown to effect both Raman- and infrared-active phonons, which modulate Mn-O-Mn bonds and, consequently, Mn exchange interaction.

description: The leather industry has traditionally been characterized by global operations across both developed and developing countries. Due to the long distance and contextual differences, there are numerous sustainability issues occurring along the global leather supply chain. Addressing these issues is both a responsibility and a challenge for multinational companies, especially in their global sourcing (GS) activities. This teaching case provides an example of implementing the sustainable leather initiative in the global sourcing process at IKEA. The case demonstrates IKEA’s sustainable leather initiative supported by its tailored GS strategy and GS structure and provides a benchmark of Sustainable GS for multinational companies and allows for a thorough discussion of how to implement a sustainability initiative while conducting GS. The case can be used to teach graduate/postgraduate in agricultural business, MBA and executive students on sustainable supply chain management and corporate social responsibility.

description: Packing is a crucial step of FPGA design, directly impacting interconnect complexity, routing congestion, and overall performance. This paper presents a post-packing interconnect-aware analysis, illustrating how dense (sparse) packing changes the interconnection structure. We introduce a new metric, RDensity, to define post-packing density and investigate its influence on routability. Through a comparative study of two packing tools, we demonstrate that density directly impacts routability. Our findings provide valuable insights into how packing decisions affect FPGA efficiency and offer guidance for improving FPGA packing tools and architecture design by integrating interconnect-aware methods. The goal is to achieve efficient routing while maintaining an optimal balance between cluster density, CLB pin counts, and logical block sizes.
Extracting work optimally with imprecise measurements

description: Measurement and feedback allows an external agent to extract work from a system in contact with a single thermal bath. The maximum amount of work that can be extracted in a single measurement and the corresponding feedback loop is given by the information acquired via the measurement, a result that manifests the close relation between information theory and stochastic thermodynamics. In this paper we show how to reversibly confine a Brownian particle in an optical tweezer potential and then extract the corresponding increase of the free energy as work. By repeatedly tracking the position of the particle and modifying the potential accordingly, we can extract work optimally even with a high degree of inaccuracy in the measurements.

description: We theoretically study a pulsed stimulated two-photon Raman outcoupler for an atom laser using a full three-dimensional description. A finite-temperature trapped Bose-condensed atomic gas is treated self-consistently by the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations. The model is closely related to a recent experiment on optical outcoupling [E.W. Hagley et al., Science 283, 1706 (1999)]. We analyze the momentum distribution of the output atoms and show how the output beam may be used as a probe of the quantum state for the trapped atomic gas and how it could be engineered and controlled in a nonlinear way.
