Aggregation is a common behavior by which groups of organisms arrange into cohesive groups. Whether suspended in the air (like honey bee clusters), built on the ground (such as army ant bridges), or immersed in water (such as sludge worm blobs), these collectives serve a multitude of biological functions, from protection against predation to the ability to maintain a relatively desirable local environment despite a variable ambient environment. In this review, we survey dense aggregations of a variety of insects, other arthropods, and worms from a soft matter standpoint. An aggregation can be orders of magnitude larger than its individual organisms, consisting of tens to hundreds of thousands of individuals, and yet functions as a coherent entity. Understanding how aggregating organisms coordinate with one another to form a superorganism requires an interdisciplinary approach. We discuss how considering the physics of an aggregation can yield additional insights to those gained from ecological and physiological considerations, given that the aggregating individuals exchange information, energy, and matter continually with the environment and one another. While the connection between animal aggregations and the physics of non-living materials has been proposed since the early 1900s, the recent advent of physics of behavior studies provides new insights into social interactions governed by physical principles. Current efforts focus on eusocial insects; however, we show that these may just be the tip of an iceberg of superorganisms that take advantage of physical interactions and simple behavioral rules to adapt to changing environments. By bringing attention to a wide range of invertebrate aggregations, we wish to inspire a new generation of scientists to explore collective dynamics and bring a deeper understanding of the physics of dense living aggregations.

Cloud Computing is a type of distributed system that is usually based on the services offered to the user based on SLA contract. In this case, the implementation of a fault-tolerant system that ensures the reliability and the services continuity becomes a major requirement. In this paper, we propose a fault tolerance strategy based on checkpointing and replication. Our approach uses a smart checkpoint infrastructure for cloud computing tasks. The checkpoints are stored in alternative already paid VMs. This allows resuming a task execution faster and cheaper after a node crash. Since checkpoints are distributed and replicated, our approach increases also the system reliability. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in term of energy consumption, SLA (System Level Aggregation) violation, and reliability. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Context: Software testing is a knowledge intensive process, and therefore can benefit from the use of experience gained from past projects. In this context, principles of Knowledge Management (KM) can be applied to promote knowledge capture and sharing as well as the emergence of new knowledge. In spite of this, there are only few studies that present practitioners' perspective about KM initiatives in software testing. Objective: The main goal of this study is to identify the perception of professionals in software testing on the use of KM initiatives in software engineering companies, such as KM adoption, potential benefits or hindrances. Method: A survey was conducted in software development companies. In addition, the survey results were compared with another survey conducted previously in the same context, however, with different objectives and target audience. 39 software companies participated in this research. Results: Testing planning activity and the test case reuse are the aspects that have received more attention by companies. A strategic planning and reuse of existing test cases have a potential to significantly reduce software development costs and time. Conclusion: Applying KM in software companies can bring several benefits in terms of quality of results, reduction costs, time and effort. However, it is still a challenge to be faced and tackled. © 2018 Conferencia Iberoamericana de Software Engineering - CIbSE. All Rights Reserved.

In this paper, we establish several results related to Crouzeixs conjecture. We show that the conjecture holds for contractions with eigenvalues that are sufficiently well-separated. This separation is measured by the so-called separation constant, which is defined in terms of the pseudohyperbolic metric. Moreover, we study general properties of related extremal functions and associated vectors. Throughout, compressions of the shift serve as illustrating examples which also allow for refined *** Codes 47A25, 47A12, 15A60, 47A20, 30J10 Copyright © 2020, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Our problem of interest is to cluster vertices of a graph by identifying underlying community structure. Among various vertex clustering approaches, spectral clustering is one of the most popular methods because it is easy to implement while often outperforming more traditional clustering algorithms. However, there are two inherent model selection problems in spectral clustering, namely estimating both the embedding dimension and number of clusters. This paper attempts to address the issue by establishing a novel model selection framework specifically for vertex clustering on graphs under a stochastic block model. The first contribution is a probabilistic model which approximates the distribution of the extended spectral embedding of a graph. The model is constructed based on a theoretical result of asymptotic normality of the informative part of the embedding, and on a simulation result providing a conjecture for the limiting behavior of the redundant part of the embedding. The second contribution is a simultaneous model selection framework. In contrast with the traditional approaches, our model selection procedure estimates embedding dimension and number of clusters simultaneously. Based on our conjectured distributional model, a theorem on the consistency of the estimates of model parameters is stated and proven. The theorem provides statistical support for the validity of our method. Heuristic algorithms via the simultaneous model selection framework for vertex clustering are proposed, with good performance shown in the experiment on synthetic data and on the real application of connectome analysis.

A new math.matical model for COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS is considered to assess the impact of COVID-19 on HIV dynamics and vice-versa. Investigating the epidemiologic synergy between COVID-19 and HIV is important. The dynamics of the full model is driven by that of its sub-models;therefore, basic analysis of the two sub-models;HIV-only and COVID-19 only is carried out. The basic reproduction number is computed and used to prove local and global asymptotic stability of the sub-models’ disease-free and endemic equilibria. Using the fmincon function in the Optimization Toolbox of MATLAB, the model is fitted to real COVID-19 data set from South Africa. The impact of intervention measures, namely, COVID-19 and HIV prevention interventions and COVID-19 treatment are incorporated into the model using time-dependent controls. It is observed that HIV prevention measures can significantly reduce the burden of co-infections with COVID-19, while effective treatment of COVID-19 could reduce co-infections with opportunistic infections such as HIV/AIDS. In particular, the COVID-19 only prevention strategy averted about 10,500 new co-infection cases, with similar number also averted by the HIV-only prevention control. © 2022 The Author(s)

Motivated from the study of multiple ergodic average, the investigation of multiplicative shift spaces has drawn much of interest among researchers. This paper focuses on the relation of topologically mixing properties between multiplicative shift spaces and traditional shift spaces. Suppose that X(Ωl) is the multiplicative subshift derived from the shift space Ω with given l > 1. We show that X(Ωl) is (topologically) transitive/mixing if and only if Ω is extensible/mixing. After introducing l-directional mixing property, we derive the equivalence between l-directional mixing property of X(Ωl) and weakly mixing property of Ω.MSC Codes 37B10 Copyright © 2019, The Authors.

Bresse-Timoshenko beam model with thermal, mass diffusion and theormoelastic effects is studied. We state and prove the well-posedness of problem. The global existence and uniqueness of the solution is proved by using the classical Faedo-Galerkin approximations along with two a priori estimates. We prove an exponential stability estimate for problem under an unusual assumption, and by using a multiplier technique in two different cases, with frictional damping in the angular rotation and with frictional damping in the vertical displacement. In numerical parts, we first obtained a numerical scheme for problem by P1-finite element method for space discretization and implicit Euler scheme for time discretization. Then, we showed that the discrete energy decays, later a priori error estimates are established. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented. Copyright © 2020, The Authors.
