Slicing of Web Applications Using Source Code Analysis
Program slicing revealed a useful way to limit the search of software defects during debugging and to better understand the decomposition of the application into computations. The web application is very widely used for spreading business throughout the world. To meet the desire of the customers, web applications should have more quality and robustness. Slicing, in the ?eld of web application, helps disclosing relevant information and understanding the internal system structure. This in turn helps in debugging, testing and in improving the program comprehensibility. The system dependence graph is an appropriate data structure for slice computation, in that it explicitly represents all dependencies that have to be taken into account in slice determination. We have extended the system dependence graph to Web-Application Dependence Graph (WADG). We have developed a partial tool for automatic generation of the WADG and computation of slices. In our literature survey, we found that most of the automatic graph generation tools are byte-code based. But, our tool uses the dependency analysis from the source code of the given program. We have presented three case studies by taking open source web programs and applying our techniques and slicing algorithm. We have found that the slices computed is correct and precise, which will be help full for program debugging and testing. Construction of the system dependence graph for Web applications is complicated by the presence of dynamic code. In fact, a Web application builds the HTML code to be transmitted to the browser at run time. Knowledge of such code is essential for slicing
Wave Phenomena In General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
Here we study the wave propagation and stability of general relativistic
non-resistive dissipative second-order magnetohydrodynamic equations in curved
space-time. We solve the Boltzmann equation for a system of particles and
antiparticles using the relaxation time approximation and the
Chapman-Enskog-like gradient expansion for the off-equilibrium distribution
function, truncating beyond second-order in curved space-time in
electromagnetic fields. Unlike holographic calculation~\cite{Baier:2007ix}, we
show that the viscous evolution equations do not explicitly depend on the
curvature of space-time. Also, we have tested the causality and stability of
the second-order theory in curved space-time in the presence of linearised
metric perturbation and derived dispersion relations for various modes.
Interestingly, we found the coupling of gravitational modes with the usual
magneto-sonic modes in the small wave-number limit. Also, we show additional
non-hydrodynamical modes arise due to gravity for a bulk-viscous fluid.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
Charged participants and their electromagnetic fields in an expanding fluid
We investigate the space-time dependence of electromagnetic fields produced
by charged participants in an expanding fluid. To address this problem, we need
to solve the Maxwell's equations coupled to the hydrodynamics conservation
equation, specifically the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) equations,
since the charged participants move with the flow. To gain analytical insight,
we approximate the problem by solving the equations in a fixed background
Bjorken flow, onto which we solve Maxwell's equations. The dynamical
electromagnetic fields interact with the fluid's kinematic quantities such as
the shear tensor and the expansion scalar, leading to additional non-trivial
coupling. We use mode decomposition of Green's function to solve the resulting
non-linear coupled wave equations. We then use this function to calculate the
electromagnetic field for two test cases: a point source and a transverse
charge distribution. The results show that the resulting magnetic field
vanishes at very early times, grows, and eventually falls at later times.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures. Minor revisions and a new figure showing domain

Optimization of Indoor Hybrid PLC/VLC/RF Communication Systems
In this work, we propose a hybrid power line communication (PLC)/visible light communication (VLC)/radio frequency (RF) fronthaul with a fiber based wired backhaul system to support massive number of smart devices (SDs). Since, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based access point (AP) association and bandwidth (BW) allocation for each SD do not necessarily improve the system capacity, we propose novel and efficient AP association and BW allocation strategies to maximize the sum rate capacity (SRC) of the hybrid system under consideration. An optimization problem is formulated for the SRC with the AP association and BW allocation as the optimization parameters and a hierarchical decomposition method is used to convert the non-linear optimization problem into a set of convex optimization problems. Then, the proposed strategies are used to solve the optimization problem in an iterative manner till the SRC converges to an optimal value. Further, an analytical approximation for the BW allocated to each SD for a given AP association is derived using the Lagrangian multiplier method. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated through extensive numerical results. Moreover, the effect of the increased number of SDs on the optimal SRC is analysed
Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter -- Current Status and Developments
The discovery and characterization of hot and dense QCD matter, known as
Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), remains the most international collaborative effort
and synergy between theorists and experimentalists in modern nuclear physics to
date. The experimentalists around the world not only collect an unprecedented
amount of data in heavy-ion collisions, at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC), at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York, USA, and the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland but also analyze these
data to unravel the mystery of this new phase of matter that filled a few
microseconds old universe, just after the Big Bang. In the meantime,
advancements in theoretical works and computing capability extend our wisdom
about the hot-dense QCD matter and its dynamics through mathematical equations.
The exchange of ideas between experimentalists and theoreticians is crucial for
the progress of our knowledge. The motivation of this first conference named
"HOT QCD Matter 2022" is to bring the community together to have a discourse on
this topic. In this article, there are 36 sections discussing various topics in
the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena that cover
a snapshot of the current experimental observations and theoretical progress.
This article begins with the theoretical overview of relativistic
spin-hydrodynamics in the presence of the external magnetic field, followed by
the Lattice QCD results on heavy quarks in QGP, and finally, it ends with an
overview of experiment results.Comment: Compilation of the contributions (148 pages) as presented in the `Hot

Wind power: Existing status, achievements and government's initiative towards renewable power dominating India
Wind power has shown enormous potential in capacity addition and substantial use throughout the world during the last few decades. From the very last era of the 1990s, wind energy has re-emerged and framed as a major source of renewable power generation. The worldwide wind power installed capacity has been doubled in every three years over the last decades of the 20th century. This paper demonstrates the important aspects along with the promotion policies which are adopted by the Indian government for enlarging the country's own energy security by proper utilization of available renewable energy sources. In India's perspective, wind power is not only used for power generation but also to provide the energy in a cost-effective manner. The details of India's entire power generation, demand, and contributions of various renewable sources are also comprised in this study. The present scenario of wind power potential in India has been also compared with the other leading countries in the world.

CXI-benzo-84 reversibly binds to tubulin at colchicine site and induces apoptosis in cancer cells
Here, we have discovered CXI-benzo-84 as a potential anticancer agent from a library of benzimidazole derivatives using cell based screening strategy. CXI-benzo-84 inhibited cell cycle progression in metaphase stage of mitosis and accumulated spindle assembly checkpoint proteins Mad2 and BubR1 on kinetochores, which subsequently activated apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. CXI-benzo-84 depolymerized both interphase and mitotic microtubules, perturbed EB1 binding to microtubules and inhibited the assembly and GTPase activity of tubulin in vitro. CXI-benzo-84 bound to tubulin at a single binding site with a dissociation constant of 1.2 +/- 0.2 mu M. Competition experiments and molecular docking suggested that CXI-benzo-84 binds to tubulin at the colchicine-site. Further, computational analysis provided a significant insight on the binding site of CXI-benzo-84 on tubulin. In addition to its potential use in cancer chemotherapy, CXI-benzo-84 may also be useful to screen colchicine-site agents and to understand the colchicine binding site on tubulin.
