    A manual categorization of new quality issues on automatically-generated tests
    (2023) Galindo-Gutierrez, Geraldine; Narea Carvajal, Maximiliano Agustín; Fernández, Blanco Alison
    Diverse studies have analyzed the quality of automatically generated test cases by using test smells as the main quality attribute. But recent work reported that generated tests might suffer from a number of quality issues not considered previously, thus suggesting that not all test smells have been identified yet. Little is known about these issues and their frequency within generated tests. In this paper, we report on a manual analysis of an external dataset consisting of 2,340 automatically generated tests. This analysis aimed at detecting new quality issues, not covered by past recognized test smells. We use thematic analysis to group and categorize the new quality issues found. As a result, we propose a taxonomy of 13 new quality issues grouped in four categories. We also report on the frequency of these new quality issues within the dataset and present eight recommendations that test generators may consider to improve the quality and usefulness of the automatically generated tests. As an additional contribution, our results suggest that (i) test quality should be evaluated not only on the tests themselves, but considering also the tested code; and (ii) automatically generated tests present flaws that are unlikely to be found in manually created tests and thus require specific quality checking tools.

    A massive binary system can feed Sgr A*
    (2017) Calderón Espinoza, Diego Nicolás; Cuadra, Jorge
    The enigmatic G2 cloud just passed pericentre around the Galactic Centre super-massive black hole, Sgr A. Despite all theoretical and observational efforts, its nature remains unclear. If purely gaseous, it is possible to explain it as a gas clump formed in a colliding wind binary. Here we study the hypothesis of G2 being one of such clumps ejected from the massive binary IRS 16SW....

    A NEW METHOD FOR ASSESSING COMPATIBILITY OF CONSOLIDATION PROCEDURES WITH CONSERVATION PRINCIPLES: INTERVENTION QUALITY INDEX (IQI)
    (2021) Palazzi Chiara, Nuria; Misseri, Giulia; Sandoval Mandujano, Cristián; Tonietti, Ugo; Llera Martin, Juan Carlos de la; Rovero, Luisa
    In current times, built heritage is being lost at an alarming rate due to natural and human hazards. Policies for its protection and rehabilitation involve, among other things, challenges related to the refinement of suitable structural strengthening approaches. The arduous balance between gaining acceptable safety levels for occupants without deploying intrusive devices, inconsistent with conservation principles such as those of the ICOMOS charters, is not a simple task. The interest and efforts of the scientific community in this regard have been increasing for decades, but still, it is the structural professional ' s responsibility and experience which must define this arduous balance on a case-to-case basis. This study addresses the question: How can the quality of structural rehabilitation interventions be assessed in light of conservation principles such as those given by ICOMOS? Here, a preliminary method - called "Intervention Quality Index" (IQI) method is proposed. It assesses the restoration intervention quality in relation to: (i) the level of compliance given by the conservation ' s principle score (conservation ' s factor, CF); and (ii) the current state of conservation of the monument (safety factor of building considering the seismic intensity,.s). The IQI method considers the compliance level of the designed reinforcement with conservation principle, formalized through the fulfillment of a category, i.e. respected, partially respected, and not respected. Then, these judgments are translated into scores and statistically evaluated. Scores are attributed in relation to the relevance of the fulfillment of a certain conservation principle (authenticity, minimal intervention and intrusiveness, compatibility, recognizability and reversibility) for the seismic structural safety point of view. Preliminary results show that an effective employment of traditional earthquake-resistant practices together with a wise use of modern retrofit strategies allow for the preservation and reinforcement of built heritage without harming its identity.

    A new search for R Coronae Borealis stars in the SMC
    (2017) Nikzat, Fatemeh; Catelan , Marcio
    R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are rare, and their evolutionary origin is not well understood. Since they are obscured due to formation of carbon dust around the star during their mass loss events, RCB stars can be classified as self-eclipsing variable stars. The purpose of this work is to present a new search for RCB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), by analysing VI data from the OGLE project....

    A Protocol to Follow-up with Students in Large-enrollment Courses
    (American Society for Engineering Education, 2021) Piña Aguilera, Matías Alonso; Hilliger, Isabel; Baier Aranda, Jorge Andrés; Melián, Constanza; Ruz Ruz, Cristián Daniel; González, Tomás Andrés
    In response to the covid-19 health crisis, many higher education institutions quickly moved to online education. As a result of that sudden switch, students faced unexpected difficulties, such as lack of a good quality internet connection, adequate equipment, and a good study environment. Additionally, several of them dealt with the effects of health and emotional situations faced by themselves or family members. Aware of those additional difficulties, some institutions promoted a flexible approach, suggesting teachers to increase communication with their students and make the necessary modifications to course evaluations and deadlines.Teachers willing to approach their teaching in a more flexible manner need to make themselves aware of the needs of their students. In engineering massive courses, where student-teacher communication is usually burdened, gaining such an awareness is particularly difficult, requiring students to initiate communication. Unfortunately, in remote online settings, which may exacerbate social isolation, students may have less inclination to communicate with their teachers.This work-in-progress paper describes a case of study in which we describe and evaluate a protocol designed to actively engage in communication with students either with lower-than-average academic performance or with missing/late assignments. Using soothing language, a member of the teaching staff contacts students (or replies to a request from a student), attempts to establish the causes of the low academic performance and proposes specific actions to be taken in response to students' needs. The protocol was implemented in an advanced programming course during the second term (Fall) of 2020, at a large school of engineering in Latin America. To evaluate the student's perceptions of this approach, we collect data from several sources, including general-purpose student evaluations and questionnaires designed to specifically evaluate the perceptions of this approach. By analyzing different sources of data, we aimed to identify advantages and opportunities for improvement and scaling this approach at a school level. Among the most important contributions, even though our protocol was designed and implemented during the pandemic, it could also be implemented face-to-face or with online systems.

    A Quantitative Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Emissions Associated with Temporary Heating in Residential Housing
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Castillo, V.,V.; Días Ferreira Barkokebas, Regina Celi; Barkokebas, Beda; Al-Hussein M.
    Temporary heating is a resource commonly used by construction practitioners in cold-climate regions to keep a constant temperature of the construction area in order to support construction work under cold weather conditions. Since the use of temporary heating depends on the project duration and outdoor temperature, it is challenging to accurately estimate its cost and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Additionally, the typical practice in North American construction is to use concrete to build the basement of single-detached houses. This drives up the CO2 emissions associated with construction, as concrete has high levels of embodied CO2 emissions. In this regard, this research aims to quantify the environmental impact and cost of temporary heating and concrete usage for basements in single-family detached houses in cold-climate regions. A discrete-event simulation model is developed to obtain the project duration and the daily average propane consumption for basement projects. This information is then used to quantify the cost and CO2 emissions associated with temporary heating and concrete usage. The results demonstrate that the cost of temporary heating increases the total cost of a concrete basement project between 8.84% and 19.31%, and represents between 15.66% and 29.48% of the total CO2 emissions produced by temporary heating and concrete usage. In contrast, concrete represents 25.24% to 30.80% of the total cost of a concrete basement project and produces between 70.52% and 84.34% more CO2 emissions than temporary heating. A case study including data collected from seven actual concrete basement projects for single-family detached houses is used to build the simulation model used for this study.
