Wise Objects for Calm Technology

International audienceIn this position paper we identify the design of “wise systems” as an open research problem addressing new technology-based systems. Increasing complexity and sophistication make those systems hard to understand and to master. Human users are very often involved in learning processes that capture all their attention while being of little interest for them. To alleviate human interaction with such systems, as the foundation of our current research, we propose the concept of “wise object” as the building block. Software-based systems would then be able to autonomously learn on themselves and on the way humans use them. Humans would in turn be prompted only when necessary by the system

Package Fingerprint: a visual summary of package interfaces and relationships

International audienceContext: Object-oriented languages such as Java, Smalltalk, and C++ structure their programs using packages. Maintainers of large systems need to understand how packages relate to each other, but this task is complex because packages often have multiple clients and play different roles (class container, code ownership. . . ). Several approaches have been proposed, among which the use of cohesion and coupling metrics. Such metrics help identify candidate packages for restructuring; however, they do not help maintainers actually understand the structure and interrelation- ships between packages. Objectives: In this paper, we use pre-attentive processing as the basis for package visualization and see to what extent it could be used in package understanding. Method: We present the package fingerprint, a 2D visualization of the references made to and from a package. The proposed visualization offers a semantically rich, but compact and zoomable views centered on packages. We focus on two views (incoming and outgoing references) that help users understand how the package under analysis is used by the system and how it uses the system. Results: We applied these views on four large systems: Squeak, JBoss, Azureus, and ArgoUML. We obtained several interesting results, among which, the identification of a set of recurring visual patterns that help maintainers: (a) more easily identify the role of and the way a package is used within the system (e.g., the package under analysis provides a set of layered services), and, (b) detect either problematic situations (e.g., a single package that groups together a large number of basic services) or opportunities for better package restructuring (e.g., removing cyclic dependencies among packages). The visualization generally scaled well and the detection of different patterns was always possible. Conclusion: The proposed visualizations and patterns proved to be useful in understanding and maintaining the different systems we addressed. To generalize to other contexts and systems, a real user study is required

Analyse in silico et in vitro de plusieurs séries de molécules hétérocycles pour la conception de médicaments.

Imidazole is an heterocyclic compound can be found in several natural compounds. It is also present in biological building blocks and important drugs. And forms complexes leading to important industrial applications. Because of their importance, several imidazole derivatives have been extensively studied to find a relationship between their structure and activity using QSAR approaches. In this paper, we study a series of 31 imidazole derivatives reported by Olson et al in 1994. These compounds are known to act as angiotensin II AT1- coupled protein G receptor blockers. These compounds correspond to aminomethyl and acylmethylimidazol. Compounds 1 to 26 have biphenyl-tetrazole and imidazole groups, while compounds 27 to 31 have biphenyl-N-acylsulfonamide units and imidazol, clinical and experimental studies have shown that these compounds do not have the same effects and that their different action may be due to the difference in their molecular structure. Systematic studies have been conducted on imidazole. Optimized geometrical, vibrational and electronic parameters were obtained using methods AM1, PM3, B3LYP, PBE0, MP2 and CCSD (T) -F12. And a QSAR study was performed on the imidazole derivatives reported by Olson. Multiple linear regression (MLR) was used to quantify the relationships between molecular descriptors and the property of activity as angiotensin II AT1 G-protein coupled receptor blockers. The prediction of the obtained models has been confirmed by the LOO cross validation method. A strong correlation was observed between the experimental and predicted values of the specific activity which indicates the validity and the quality of the QSAR models obtaine

New designs systems for induction cooking devices for heating performances improving

In order to give a temperature distribution at the bottom of the induction cooking, and moderate reduction the temperature outside the useless areas of these systems. This paper is dedicated to the study of the induction heating systems, which involves coupled electromagnetic and thermal phenomena and where new topologies are proposed. The modelling of the problem is based on the Maxwell's equations and the heat diffusion equation. We present a numerical simulation method based on parameterization of thermal electromagnetic coupling phenomena taking into account the changing of the physical characteristics of the body during the induction heating process. The purpose of this new optimum perforation topology is based on improving the thermal performances of the system, which allows improved dissipation by heat exchange. The results are obtained from a two-dimensional calculation code developed and implemented on Matlab software where CVM the finite volume method was adopted as a method of solving partial differential equations with partial derivatives characteristics of physical phenomena

A Control Strategy Scheme for Fuel Cell-Vehicle Based on Frequency Separation

International audienceThis paper presents a control strategy scheme based on frequency-separation for Fuel cell-Battery Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), using a Fuel cell (FC) as a main energy source, and a battery as an auxiliary power source. First, an analysis of hybrid architecture using an FC and batteries for automotive applications is presented. Next, the model and the control strategy are described. In this strategy a frequency splitter is used for routing the low frequency content of power demand into the FC and its high frequencies into the battery, taking profit from the battery as a peak power unit. Simulation and experimental results validate the performance of this strategy

Faktori povezani s bakterijskom kontaminacijom mesa peradi u mesnicama u Biskri, Alžir

The latest available data indicate that since 2018, poultry has been the most widely consumed meat in the world. However, poultry meat is frequently highly contaminated with microorganisms. Total viable count (TVC), which is also called total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), is an indicator of bacterial quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with bacterial contamination of poultry meat at butcher shops. The study was carried out from January 2018 to July 2020 and included 10 butcher shops in Biskra (Algeria). Different poultry meat samples (n=159) were purchased from butcher shops, prior to and after the outbreak of COVID-19. Each sample was tested for TAMB and faecal coliforms. In this study, one independent variable was quantitative, which is the contamination of poultry meat by faecal coliforms, and nine variables were categorical: whole carcass packed at the slaughterhouse or cut at butcher shop, sample type: thigh skin, thigh meat, neck skin, liver, turkey escalope, and before or after the outbreak of COVID-19. Descriptive statistics, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and multiple linear regression were used to examine if the various factors identified were associated with the bacterial contamination of poultry meat. The average level of contamination of poultry meat by TAMB was: 6.40 ± 0.81 log10 CFU/g. MCA results with graphical representations of qualitative and quantitative variables show the interfactor relationships. The multiple regression model explained 48.6% of the TAMB variations and estimated TAMB contamination of poultry meat according to the equation: Y= 0.477 X1 + (- 0.639) X2 + (- 0.557) X3 + (- 0.295) X4 +5.522; Y (TAMB in log10 CFU/g), X1 (faecal coliforms in log10 CFU/g), X2 (Before/after COVID-19), X3 (Turkey escalope), X4 (Carcass/cut). Identifying the factors associated with bacterial contamination of poultry meat is necessary to implement effective preventive measures in butcher shops, thus significantly reducing contamination levels and providing customers with high quality poultry meat.Najnoviji dostupni podatci pokazuju da je od 2018. godine meso peradi najviše konzumirano meso na svijetu. Međutim, meso peradi često je vrlo kontaminirano mikroorganizmima. Ukupni broj živih mikroorganizama (engl. total viable count; TVC), koji se naziva i “ukupan broj aerobnih mezofilnih bakterija” (engl. total aerobic mesophilic bacteria; TAMB) indikator je bakterijske kvalitete. Cilj ove studije bio je ispitati faktore povezane s bakterijskom kontaminacijom mesa peradi u mesnicama. Studija je provedena od siječnja 2018. do srpnja 2020. i uključivala je 10 mesnica u Biskri (Alžir). Iz svake mesnice kupljene su različite vrste uzoraka mesa peradi (n=159), prije i nakon koronavirusne bolesti (COVID-19). Svaki uzorak ispitan je na TAMB i fekalne koliforme. U ovoj studiji, jedna nezavisna varijabla bila je kvantitativna, a to je kontaminacija mesa peradi fekalnim koliformima, a devet varijabli bilo je kategorijsko: cijeli trup pakiran u klaonici ili rezan u mesnici, vrsta uzorka: koža zabatka, meso zabatka, koža vrata, jetra, pureća šnicla, te prije i nakon pojave COVID-19. Rabljena je opisna statistika, višestruka analiza korespondencije (engl. multiple correspondence analysis; MCA) i višestruka linearna regresija za ispitivanje jesu li različiti prepoznati faktori povezani s bakterijskom kontaminacijom mesa peradi. Prosječna razina kontaminacije mesa peradi putem TAMB bila je: (6,40 ± 0,81 log10 CFU/g). MCA rezultati s grafičkim prikazom kvalitativnih i kvantitativne varijable prikazuju odnos međufaktora. Izrađen je model višestruke regresije što omogućuje objasniti 48,6 % TAMB varijacija i procijeniti TAMB kontaminaciju mesa peradi prema jednadžbi: Y= 0,477 X1 + (- 0,639) X2 + (- 0,557) X3 + (- 0,295) X4 + 5.522; Y (TAMB u log10 CFU/g), X1 (fekalni koliformi u log10CFU/g), X2 (prije/nakon COVID-19), X3 (pureća šnicla), X4 (trup/komad mesa). Identifikacijski faktori povezani s bakterijskom kontaminacijom mesa peradi potreban je za kreiranje učinkovitih preventivnih mjera u mesnicama da bi se znatno smanjila razina kontaminacije i kupcima osiguralo meso peradi izuzetne kvalitete

The Package Blueprint: visually analyzing and quantifying package dependencies

International audienceLarge object-oriented applications are structured over many packages. Packages are important but complex structural entities that are difficult to understand since they act as containers of classes, which can have many dependencies with other classes spread over multiple packages. However to be able to take decisions (e.g., refactoring and/or assessment decisions), maintainers face the challenges of managing (sorting, grouping) the massive amount of dependencies between classes spread over multiple packages. To help maintainers, there is a need for at the same time understanding, and quantifying, dependencies between classes as well as understanding how packages as containers of such classes depend on each other. In this paper, we present a visualization, named Package Blueprint, that reveals in detail package internal structure, as well as the dependencies between an observed package and its neighbors, at both package and class levels. Package Blueprint aims at assisting maintainers in understanding package structure and dependencies, in particular when they focus on few packages and want to take refactoring decisions and/or to assess the structure of those packages. A package blueprint is a space filling matrix-based visualization, using two placement strategies that are enclosure and adjacency. Package blueprint is structured around the notion of surfaces that group classes and their dependencies by their packages (i.e., enclosure placement); whilst surfaces are placed next to their parent node which is the package under-analysis (i.e., adjacency placement). We present two views: one stressing how an observed package depends upon the rest of the system and another stressing how the system depends upon that package. To evaluate the contribution of package blueprint for understanding packages we performed an exploratory user study comparing package blueprint with an advanced IDE. The results shows that users of package blueprint are faster in analyzing and assessing package structure. The results are proved statically significant and they show that package blueprint considerably improve the experience of standard browser users
