Subjects: subject: 80399 Computer Software not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The software crisis has persisted for decades. Our difficulties in planning and managing software projects may be rooted in fundamental human nature, as suggested by research in rational decision making, more than in the inherent difficulty of building software. The Capability Maturity ModelSM for Software, an application of the concepts of Total Quality Management to software development and maintenance, embodies one approach for improving the software process. The problems addressed by both the CMMSM and TQM seem to lie in the basic ways that human beings think and organize themselves. In many circumstances, normal human decision making can be characterized as “irrational” because of systematic biases and fallacies in the way people make decisions. Mechanisms such as those suggested by the CMM support rational decision making.

description: This studies article explores the complicated landscape of cyber struggle within the area of area, shedding light on its legal and ethical implications. As technological improvements propel countries into the world of space sports, the capability for cyber conflicts escalates, raising critical questions concerning the adequacy of existing felony frameworks and ethical concerns. The examine delves into global agreements and treaties that govern outer space, assessing their adaptability to deal with the nuances of cyber battle. Additionally, it scrutinizes the evolving norms and standards guiding responsible conduct in area, aiming to parent gaps and demanding situations posed with the aid of the clandestine nature of cyber operations. The ethical dimensions of employing cyber talents in space sports are tested, weighing the capability effect on civilian infrastructure, satellites, and the general stability of the gap environment. By amalgamating criminal analysis and ethical reasoning, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse at the regulation of cyber battle in area, providing insights that could tell policymakers, felony experts, and practitioners in crafting strong frameworks to guard the non-violent use of outer area in an generation dominated by swiftly advancing technological threats.
Elastic Nd scattering at intermediate energies as a tool for probing the short-range deuteron structure

description: A calculation of the deuteron polarization observables $A^d_y$, $A_{yy}$, $A_{xx}$, $A_{xz}$ and the differential cross-section for elastic nucleon-deuteron scattering at incident deuteron energies 270 and 880 MeV in lab is presented. A comparison of the calculations with two different deuteron wave-functions derived from the Bonn-CD $NN$-potential model and the dressed bag quark model is carried out. A model-independent approach, based on an optical potential framework, is used in which a nucleon-nucleon $T$-matrix is assumed to be local and taken on the energy shell, but still depends on the internal nucleon momentum in a deuteron.

description: In this paper, we propose a general graph optimization based framework for localization, which can accommodate different types of measurements with varying measurement time intervals. Special emphasis will be on range-based localization. Range and trajectory smoothness constraints are constructed in a position graph, then the robot trajectory over a sliding window is estimated by a graph based optimization algorithm. Moreover, convergence analysis of the algorithm is provided, and the effects of the number of iterations and window size in the optimization on the localization accuracy are analyzed. Extensive experiments on quadcopter under a variety of scenarios verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate a much higher localization accuracy than the existing range-based localization methods, especially in the altitude direction.

description: Over the last 10 years, the CMU User Interface Software Project has been investigating prototype-based programming in two large-scale systems: Garnet in Lisp and Amulet in C++. The goal of these systems is to provide an effective way to prototype and implement user interface software. In addition to using a prototype-instance object model, these systems also use constraints to tie objects’ values together, and new models for input and output. The result is a significantly different style of programming than conventional class-based object systems, and even than other prototype-based systems.

description: Developing a complex software system involves decisions about how to allocate a limited resource budget among a collection of costly software alternatives (such as technologies or analysis techniques) that have uncertain future benefits. Very little quantitative guidance is currently available to make these decisions. We suggest that these allocation problems are naturally viewed in the powerful portfolio selection framework of financial investment theory. We view each software activity as an investment opportunity (or security), the benefit from the activity as the return on the investment, and the allocation problem as one of selecting the "optimal" portfolio of securities.
Revised element abundances for WC-type central stars

description: According to previous spectral analyses of Wolf-Rayet type central stars, late [WC] subtypes show systematically higher carbon-to-helium abundance ratios than early [WC] subtypes. If this were true, it would rule out that these stars form an evolutionary sequence. However, due to the different parameter domains and diagnostic lines, one might suspect systematic errors being the source of this discrepancy. In an ongoing project we are therefore checking the [WC] analyses by means of the last generation of non-LTE models for expanding stellar atmospheres which account for line-blanketing and wind clumping. So far, the abundance discrepancy is not resolved. Further element abundances (H, N, Fe) are determined and compared with evolutionary predictions.

description: Because of their affordability and availability, reusable software components have long been a tantalizing IT investment. However, the risks associated with uncertainties about technical attributes and lack of protection against undesirable behaviors often deters their adoption. Certification and insurance are potential approaches to managing these risks. Probabilistic certification and insurance base their predictions and products on similar kinds of data; this offers the prospect of consistency (by using the same data for both) and cost-effectiveness (by reusing the data). The combined benefits of the two methods in the form of risk reduction and lowering of variance may make software reuse investments more attractive to risk-averse companies.

description: Self-consistent modeling and multi-dimensional simulation of semiconductor nanophotonic devices is an important tool in the development of future integrated light sources and quantum devices. Simulations can guide important technological decisions by revealing performance bottlenecks in new device concepts, contribute to their understanding and help to theoretically explore their optimization potential. The efficient implementation of multi-dimensional numerical simulations for computer-aided design tasks requires sophisticated numerical methods and modeling techniques. We review recent advances in device-scale modeling of quantum dot based single-photon sources and laser diodes by self-consistently coupling the optical Maxwell equations with semiclassical carrier transport models using semi-classical and fully quantum mechanical descriptions of the optically active region, respectively. For the simulation of realistic devices with complex, multi-dimensional geometries, we have developed a novel hp-adaptive finite element approach for the optical Maxwell equations, using mixed meshes adapted to the multi-scale properties of the photonic structures. For electrically driven devices, we introduced novel discretization and parameter-embedding techniques to solve the drift-diffusion system for strongly degenerate semiconductors at cryogenic temperature. Our methodical advances are demonstrated on various applications, including vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, grating couplers and single-photon sources.

description: The understanding of transport processes inside the stars is one of the main goals of asteroseismology. Chemical turbulent mixing can affect the internal distribution of μnear the energy generating core, having an effect on the evolutionary tracks similar to that of overshooting. This mixing leads to a smoother chemical composition profile near the edge of the convective core, which is reflected in the behavior of the buoyancy frequency and, therefore, in the frequencies of gravity modes. We describe the effects of convective overshooting and turbulent mixing on the frequencies of gravity modes in B-type main sequence stars. In particular, the cases of p-g mixed modes in beta Cep stars and high-order modes in SPBs are considered.

description: Plaid is an object oriented programming language built on two paradigms. First, Plaid is typestateoriented. Programmers can directly encode the abstract states of objects and use the state change operator to change the state, interface, and representation of an object at runtime. Second, Plaid’s type system is permission-based. The type of each reference includes an access permission which dictates how the reference can be used and characterizes the permissions to other aliases of the same object. Plaid leverages permissions when tracking the abstract state of references during typechecking. Permissions are also used to infer code that can be safely run in parallel. This document defines the core of the Plaid language, including its source syntax, the semantics of operations involving abstract states, and a type system
Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph Observations of the Galactic Center: Quantifying the Extreme Ultraviolet/so ft X-ray fluxes

description: It has long been shown that the extreme ultraviolet spectrum of the ionizing stars of H II regions can be estimated by comparing the observed line emission to detailed models. In the Galactic Center (GC), however, previous observations have shown that the ionizing spectral energy distribution (SED) of the local photon field is strange, producing both very low excitation ionized gas (indicative of ionization by late O stars) and also widespread diffuse emission from atoms too highly ionized to be found in normal H II regions. This paper describes the analysis of all the GC spectra taken by Spitzer's Infrared Spectrograph and downloaded from the Spitzer Heritage Archive. In it, H II region densities and abundances are described, and serendipitously discovered candidate planetary nebulae, compact shocks, and candidate young stellar objects are tabulated. Models were computed with Cloudy, using SEDs from Starburst99 plus additional X-rays, and compared to the observed mid-infrared forbidden and recombination lines. The ages inferred from the model fits do not agree with recent proposed star formation sequences (star formation in the GC occurring along streams of gas with density enhancements caused by close encounters with the black hole, Sgr A*), with Sgr~B1, Sgr~C, and the Arches Cluster being all about the same age, around 4.5 Myr old, with similar X-ray requirements. The fits for the Quintuplet Cluster appear to give a younger age, but that could be caused by higher-energy photons from shocks from stellar winds or from a supernova.

description: Learning can be an effective way for robot systems to deal with dynamic environments and changing task conditions. However, popular single-robot learning algorithms based on discounted rewards, such as Q learning, do not achieve cooperation (i.e., purposeful division of labor) when applied to task-level multirobot systems. A task-level system is defined as one performing a mission that is decomposed into subtasks shared among robots. In this paper, we demonstrate the superiority of average-reward-based learning such as the Monte Carlo algorithm for task-level multirobot systems, and suggest an explanation for this superiority.

description: In recent years, temporal knowledge graph (TKG) reasoning has received significant attention. Most existing methods assume that all timestamps and corresponding graphs are available during training, which makes it difficult to predict future events. To address this issue, recent works learn to infer future events based on historical information. However, these methods do not comprehensively consider the latent patterns behind temporal changes, to pass historical information selectively, update representations appropriately and predict events accurately. In this paper, we propose the Historical Information Passing (HIP) network to predict future events. HIP network passes information from temporal, structural and repetitive perspectives, which are used to model the temporal evolution of events, the interactions of events at the same time step, and the known events respectively. In particular, our method considers the updating of relation representations and adopts three scoring functions corresponding to the above dimensions. Experimental results on five benchmark datasets show the superiority of HIP network, and the significant improvements on Hits@1 prove that our method can more accurately predict what is going to happen.

description: We present the discovery of a companion near the deuterium burning mass limit located at a very wide distance, at an angular separation of 4.6+/-0.1 arcsec (projected distance of ~ 670 AU) from UScoCTIO108, a brown dwarf of the very young Upper Scorpius association. Optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy confirm the cool nature of both objects, with spectral types of M7 and M9.5, respectively, and that they are bona fide members of the association, showing low gravity and features of youth. Their masses, estimated from the comparison of their bolometric luminosities and theoretical models for the age range of the association, are 60+/-20 and 14^{+2}_{-8} MJup, respectively. The existence of this object around a brown dwarf at this wide orbit suggests that the companion is unlikely to have formed in a disk based on current planet formation models. Because this system is rather weakly bound, they did not probably form through dynamical ejection of stellar embryos.

description: Detailed magnetic properties of the compound Sr2YbRuO6 are presented here. The compound belongs to the family of double perovskites forming a monoclinic structure. Magnetization meas-urements reveal clear evidence for two components of magnetic ordering aligned opposite to each other, leading to a magnetization reversal, compensation temperature (T* = 34 K) and neg-ative magnetization at low temperatures and low magnetic fields. Heat capacity measurements corroborate the presence of two components in the magnetic ordering and a noticeable third anomaly at low temperatures (~15 K) which cannot be attributed the Schottky effect. The calcu-lated magnetic entropy is substantially lower than that expected for the ground states of the or-dered moments of Ru5+ and Yb3+, indicating the presence of large crystal field effects and/ or in-complete magnetic ordering and/or magnetic frustrations well above the magnetic ordering. An attempt is made to explain the magnetization reversal within the frameworks of available models.

description: Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) is the only virus which belongs to the new Bidnaviridae family established by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in 2012. The genes encoding the major capsid protein and DNA polymerase (pPolB) overlap partially at their 3′ untranslated regions, forming an extremely short, dual-function polyadenylation signal/stop codon (BmBDV polyA) to complete post-transcriptional modifications and terminate protein expression. Nevertheless, the functionality and usefulness of this signal regarding foreign genes remain unknown. To determine the effect of the BmBDV polyA on gene expression, the expression of the green fluorescent protein and firefly luciferase was evaluated with the BmBDV polyA, compared with the much larger SV40 polyA, under the control of the p5 or ie1 promoter. Fluorescence microscopy and dual luciferase assay both revealed enhanced expression of these proteins in the presence of the BmBDV polyA, meanwhile real-time qPCR also showed increased mRNA levels. Therefore, we conclude that the BmBDV polyA is a promising, characteristic polyA signal from an insect virus, and that it can promote gene expression at either the mRNA or protein levels. Additionally, this study also suggests that the BmBDV polyA potentially alleviates restrictions associated with the size of inserted fragments during constructing recombinant viruses.

description: Large-scale magnetic fields affect the scalar modes of the geometry whose ultimate effect is to determine the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB in what follows). For the first time, a consistent numerical approach to the magnetized CMB anisotropies is pursued with the aim of assessing the angular power spectra of temperature and polarization when the scalar modes of the geometry and a stochastic background of inhomogeneous magnetic fields are simultaneously present in the plasma. The effects related to the magnetized nature of the plasma are taken into account both at the level of the dynamical equations and at the level of the initial conditions of the Einstein-Boltzmann hierarchy. The temperature and polarization observables are exploited to infer the peculiar signatures of a pre-equality magnetic field. Using the extrapolated best fit to the three year WMAP data the increase and distortions of the first seven peaks in the TT autocorrelations are monitored for different values of the regularized magnetic field intensity and for the physical range of spectral indices. Similar analyses are also conducted for the first few anticorrelation (and corrrelation) peaks of the TE power spectra. Possible interesting degeneracies and stimulating perspectives are pointed out and explored.

description: Sea cucumbers possess evisceration mechanisms and regeneration capacity. The function of tentacles is to collect food particles. From our results, we suggest these organs could also be part of the digestive system. Therefore proteases in the digestive tract and tentacles of Isostichopus fuscus were partially characterized by histological and biochemical methods. Digestive cells and regions, and secretory granules were observed by histological methods in both organs. Proteolytic extracts of the digestive tract and tentacles showed peak activity at pH 6 and 8. The digestive tract extract had peak activity at 40 and 70 °C, whereas the tentacle extract peak activity was at 60 °C. Both extracts showed activity at 0 to 10 °C. The extracts retained 67 to 75 % residual activity when incubated at 60 °C for 1 h. The effect of different ions and specific inhibitors suggested the presence of cysteine- and metallo-proteases in both organs. SDS-PAGE showed 6 proteins of approximately 40, 43, 49, 76, 106, and 147 kDa in the digestive tract extract, and 5 proteins of approximately 44, 60, 81, 108, and 150 kDa in the tentacle extract. Native-PAGE and zymography assays confirmed the presence approximately 100 kDa proteases in both extracts. The tentacle extract had the highest proteolytic activity, suggesting that this organ could contribute to the digestion process of I. fuscus. Key Words: ; ; ; ;

description: An odd-dimensional differentiable manifold is called \emph{holomorphically fillable} if it is diffeomorphic to the boundary of a compact strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold, \emph{Stein fillable} if this last manifold may be chosen to be Stein and \emph{Milnor fillable} if it is diffeomorphic to the abstract boundary of an isolated singularity of normal complex analytic space. We show that the homotopical dimension of a manifold-with-boundary of dimension at least 4 restricts the cohomology ring (with any coefficients) of its boundary. This gives restrictions on the cohomology rings of Stein fillable manifolds, on the dimension of the exceptional locus of any resolution of a given isolated singularity, and on the topology of smoothable singularities. We give also new proofs of structure theorems of Durfee & Hain and Bungart about the cohomology rings of Milnor fillable and respectively holomorphically fillable manifolds. The various structure theorems presented in this paper imply that in dimension at least 5, the classes of Stein fillable, Milnor fillable and holomorphically fillable manifolds are pairwise different.
description: 20 pages. This paper combines the two previous papers arXiv:0711.1149 and arXiv:0711.2941 and gives more background on strongly pseudoconvex manifolds and strictly plurisubharmonic functions. In the meantime I have discovered that two of the theorems proved in those papers had already been proved, by Durfee & Hain and Bungart respectively

description: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks have recently shown remarkable performance in several tasks dealing with natural language generation, such as image captioning or poetry composition. Yet, only few works have analyzed text generated by LSTMs in order to quantitatively evaluate to which extent such artificial texts resemble those generated by humans. We compared the statistical structure of LSTM-generated language to that of written natural language, and to those produced by Markov models of various orders. In particular, we characterized the statistical structure of language by assessing word-frequency statistics, long-range correlations, and entropy measures. Our main finding is that while both LSTM and Markov-generated texts can exhibit features similar to real ones in their word-frequency statistics and entropy measures, LSTM-texts are shown to reproduce long-range correlations at scales comparable to those found in natural language. Moreover, for LSTM networks a temperature-like parameter controlling the generation process shows an optimal value---for which the produced texts are closest to real language---consistent across all the different statistical features investigated.

description: There is an increasing need for software systems to adaptively support changes in application-level objectives [Fayad96]. Real-time software evolution involves changes in software structure and meaning over time to satisfy changes in application requirements. The problem is that the process of changing real-time software often involves extensive impact of change (non-localized change) and substantial manual effort. The process can be costly and error-prone. The Metaphor Project hypothesis was that a systematic approach to thinking about change used with an analytical method for “localizing” software solution features that would be impacted by the same changes can result in a significant reduction in the effort needed to modify these solutions over time. The proposed work was the research and development of a model for organizing information about change, of algorithms to systematically and automatically localize change to basic solution features such as data/operations and control flow, and of a process for analyzing the basic features with respect to change and reuse. This report summarizes the Metaphor Project objectives, accomplishments, and technical as well as educational contributions.

description: Graphene with excellent 2D characters has been required to expand their potentials for meeting applicational demands in recent years. As one avenue, several approaches for fablicating 3D porous graphene network structures have been developed to realize multi-functional graphene materials with 2D graphene. Here we overview characteristics of 3D porous graphene for future electronic device applications along with physical insights into "2D to 3D graphene", where the characters of 2D graphene such as massless Dirac fermions are well preserved. The present review thus summarizes recent 3D porous graphene studies with a perspective for providing new and board graphene electronic device applications.

description: Invasion by Pomacea canaliculata is an increasing problem worldwide. Its rapid invasion and spread depends on the immune mechanism of efficient treatment of unfavorable factors and pathogenic microorganisms in the environment. Transcriptome technology is widely applied in studying the interaction of molluscs and pathogenic microorganisms and the development of disease. In this study, transcriptome technology is used to detect the expression of immune-related genes after the P. canaliculata juvenile snails were challenged with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 48 h. A total of 402 immune-related differentially expressed genes(DEGs) were identified in comparison with the control. These DEGs involved in antigen recognition gene, immune stress and detoxification. The results showed that genes associated with detoxification metabolism were significantly up-regulated, such as cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome b oxidase, NADH dehydrogenase, sterol 17-alpha-hydroxylase and cytochrome P450. These data will provide fundamental information for subsequent studies of the immune defense mechanisms against pathogens in the juvenile snail of P. canaliculata.

description: Given the medical billing framework and proposed meaningful uses for the national health information infrastructure, this paper shows how the billing framework can strategically help achieve meaningful uses quickly. The existing medical billing framework has national connectivity, and its existing communication, data, and authentication standards are sufficiently expandable to serve as a necessary backbone for a national health information infrastructure. Doing so offers strategic advantages: (1) providers are already wired and using the billing framework, processing billions of claims a year; (2) the mechanism to check patient insurance eligibility can easily expand to additionally provide relevant patient information (e.g., problems, medications, and allergies) at the time and place of service; (3) a national program already exists that captures quality measures through claims processing; and, (4) payment incentives on claims can drive ongoing provider compliance. Growing independent regional data centers, as has been the primary focus so far, leaves a critical gap in connectivity, data consolidation, national analytics, and timeliness. To close the gap, this paper proposes an amended billing framework (the Backbone), and shows how the Backbone can help achieve meaningful uses. It recommends an open consortium of stakeholders to guide ongoing Backbone operations to insure interoperability. Included are detailed examples of maintaining active allergy and medication lists (a meaningful use objective for the year 2011).

description: The modification of the effect of interactions of a particle as a function of its pre- and postselected states is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The universality property of this modification in the case of local interactions of a spatially pre- and postselected particle has been found. It allowed to define an operational approach for characterization of the presence of a quantum particle in a particular place: the way it modifies the effect of local interactions. The experiment demonstrating this universality property provides an efficient interferometric alignment method, in which the beam on a single detector throughout one phase scan yields all misalignment parameters.

description: The headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) method was used for the determination of the volatile compounds of Dermestes maculatus and D. ater pupae. These beetles are of economic importance and they are a common pest of stored products and also serve as an intermediate host of the parasitic tapeworm, therefore an understanding of their biology is very important. Analyses of the volatile compounds of D. maculatus and D. ater pupae revealed differences between the insect species in their chemical composition. Sixteen volatile compounds of D. ater pupae, including 6 hydrocarbons, 5 fatty acids, 3 esters, and 2 aldehydes were identified. The major volatile compound in D. ater pupae was pentacosane. Ten compounds were present in < 10 % concentrations. A further five were present in < 1 % concentrations. A total of 39 compounds were identified in the D. maculatus pupae, including 28 esters of fatty acid, 4 fatty acids, 6 hydrocarbons and 1 aldehyde. Two volatile compounds were detected as major compounds: octadecadienoic acid methyl ester and octadecenoic acid methyl ester. A further eight were identified in smaller quantities (from 1.12 to 8.30 %) and the remaining volatile compounds were present in < 1 % concentrations.

description: The electric dipole moments of closed-shell atoms are sensitive to the parity and time-reversal violating phenomena in the nucleus. The nuclear Schiff moment is one such property, it arises from the parity and time reversal violating quark-quark interactions and the quark-chromo electric dipole moments. We calculate the electric dipole moment of atomic $^{199}{\rm Hg}$ arising from the nuclear Schiff moment using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory. This is the most accurate calculation of the quantity to date. Our calculations in combination with the experiment data provide important insights to the P and T violating coupling constants at the elementary particle level. In addition, a new limit on the tensor-pseudo tensor induced atomic EDM, calculated using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory is also presented.

description: The C preprocessor has received strong criticism in academia, among others regarding separation of concerns, error proneness, and code obfuscation, but is widely used in practice. Many (mostly academic) alternatives to the preprocessor exist, but have not been adopted in practice. Since developers continue to use the preprocessor despite all criticism and research, we ask how practitioners perceive the C preprocessor. We performed interviews with 40 developers, used grounded theory to analyze the data, and cross-validated the results with data from a survey among 202 developers, repository mining, and results from previous studies. In particular, we investigated four research questions related to why the preprocessor is still widely used in practice, common problems, alternatives, and the impact of undisciplined annotations. Our study shows that developers are aware of the criticism the C preprocessor receives, but use it nonetheless, mainly for portability and variability. Many developers indicate that they regularly face preprocessor-related problems and preprocessor-related bugs. The majority of our interviewees do not see any current C-native technologies that can entirely replace the C preprocessor. However, developers tend to mitigate problems with guidelines, even though those guidelines are not enforced consistently. We report the key insights gained from our study and discuss implications for practitioners and researchers on how to better use the C preprocessor to minimize its negative impact.
