Open tracing tools
(2023)
Background: Coping with the rapid growing complexity in contemporary software architecture, tracing has become an increasingly critical practice and been adopted widely by software engineers. By adopting tracing tools, practitioners are able to monitor, debug, and optimize distributed software architectures easily. However, with excessive number of valid candidates, researchers and practitioners have a hard time finding and selecting the suitable tracing tools by systematically considering their features and advantages. Objective: To such a purpose, this paper aims to provide an overview of popular Open tracing tools via comparison. Methods: Herein, we first identified 30 tools in an objective, systematic, and reproducible manner adopting the Systematic Multivocal Literature Review protocol. Then, we characterized each tool looking at the 1) measured features, 2) popularity both in peer-reviewed literature and online media, and 3) benefits and issues. We used topic modeling and sentiment analysis to extract and summarize the benefits and issues. Specially, we adopted ChatGPT to support the topic interpretation. Results: As a result, this paper presents a systematic comparison amongst the selected tracing tools in terms of their features, popularity, benefits and issues. Conclusion: The result mainly shows that each tracing tool provides a unique combination of features with also different pros and cons. The contribution of this paper is to provide the practitioners better understanding of the tracing tools facilitating their adoption.
Coupling is one of the most frequently mentioned metric in software systems. However, to measure logical coupling between microservices, runtime information is needed or the availability of service-log files to analyze the calls between services is required. This work presents our emerging results, in which we propose a metric to statically calculate logical coupling between microservices based on commits to versioning systems. We performed an initial validation of the proposed metric with a dataset containing 145 open-source microservices projects. The results illustrate how logical coupling affects every system and increases overtime. However, we did not find a correlation between the number of commits or the number of developers and the introduction of logical coupling. In future, we investigate why, how, and when logical coupling is introduced in a system.
Signatures of the optical stark effect on entangled photon pairs from resonantly-pumped quantum dots
(2023)
Two-photon resonant excitation of the biexciton-exciton cascade in a quantum dot generates highly polarization-entangled photon pairs in a near-deterministic way. However, the ultimate level of achievable entanglement is still debated. Here, we observe the impact of the laser-induced ac-Stark effect on the quantum dot emission spectra and on entanglement. For increasing pulse-duration-to-lifetime ratios and pump powers, decreasing values of concurrence are recorded. Nonetheless, additional contributions are still required to fully account for the observed below-unity concurrence.
The production of liquid-gas dispersions places high demands on the process technology, which requires knowledge of the bubble formation mechanisms, as well as the phase parameters of the media combinations used. To obtain the bubble sizes introduced to a flow not knowing the phase parameters, different process parameters are investigated. Their quality and applicability are evaluated. The results obtained make it possible to simplify long design processes of dispersion processes in manufacturing plants and to ensure the product quality of the products manufactured, by reducing waste.
We present a new concept of 3D polymer-based 1 × 4 beam splitter for wavelength splitting around 1550 nm. The beam splitter consists of IP-Dip polymer as a core and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Sylgard 184 as a cladding. The splitter was designed and simulated with two different photonics tools and the results show high splitting ratio for single-mode and multi-mode operation with low losses. Based on the simulations, a 3D beam splitter was designed and realized using direct laser writing (DLW) process with adaptation to coupling to standard single-mode fiber. With respect to the technological limits, the multi-mode splitter having core of (4 × 4) μm 2 was designed and fabricated together with supporting stable mechanical construction. Splitting properties were investigated by intensity monitoring of splitter outputs using optical microscopy and near-field scanning optical microscopy. In the development phase, the optical performance of fabricated beam splitter was examined by splitting of short visible wavelengths using red light emitting diode. Finally, the splitting of 1550 nm laser light was studied in detail by near-field measurements and compared with the simulated results. The nearly single-mode operation was observed and the shape of propagating mode and mode field diameter was well recognized.
This paper presents a project developed at the K.S.Rangasamy College of Technology (Tamilnadu,India) aimed at designing, implementing, and testing an autonomous multipurpose vehicle with safe, efficient, and economic operation. This autonomous vehicle moves through the crop lines of a Agricultural land and performs tasks that are tedious and/or hazardous to the farmers. First, it has been equipped for spraying, but other configurations have also been designed, such as: a seeding ,plug platform to reach the top part of the plants to perform different tasks (pruning, harvesting, etc.), and a trailer to transport the fruits, plants, and crop waste.
Modern portable electronic devices have seen component heat load increasing, while the space available for heat dissipation has decreased. This requires the thermal management system to be optimized to attain the high performance heat sink. Heat sinks plays a major role for dissipating heat in electronic devices. Phase change material (PCM) is used to enhance the heat dissipation in heat sink. This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the performance of Pin fin heat sinks filled with phase change materials for thermal management of electronic devices. The experimental set ups are prepared with the graphical programming language with Lab VIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instruments for Engineering Workbench. Three different types of Pin fin Heat sink with and without PCM are investigated based on different operational timings and the temperature is acquired with the help of Data Acquisition Card (DAQ). The results indicated that the inclusion of the PCM could stabilize the temperature for a longer period and reduce the heating rates and peak temperatures of heat sink with increasing the number of fins can enhance the thermal performance of electronic devices.
