A survey on test practitioners' awareness of test smells [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Developing test code may be a time-consuming task that usually requires much effort and cost, especially when it is done manually. Besides, during this process, developers and testers are likely to adopt bad design choices, which may lead to the introduction of the so-called test smells in test code. Test smells are bad solutions to either implement or

Nanoscale Agglomeration Mechanisms of BF‐DPB:BPyMPM Donor–Acceptor Systems for Organic Optoelectronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The intermolecular and molecule‐substrate interactions and resulting molecular assembly of the OLED and OPV donor and acceptor molecules BF‐DPB and BPyMPM are investigated on different single crystalline substrates using high‐resolution scanning probe microscopy.

Recent advances in taste transduction and signaling [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
In the last few years, single-cell profiling of taste cells and ganglion cells has advanced our understanding of transduction, encoding, and transmission of information from taste buds as relayed to the central nervous system.

Sonochemical Functionalization of Glass

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new method for functionalizing glass using ultrasonication of aryl diazonium salts. Aryl radicals generated by ultrasounds react with glass, forming a stable, covalently bonded organic film. The functionalized glass adheres microorganisms such as microalgae, fungi, and bacteria, suggesting potential applications in enzyme production, filtration ...

A Novel Taxonomy and Classification Scheme for Code Smell Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Code smells are indicators of potential design flaws in source code and do not appear alone but in combination with other smells, creating complex interactions. While existing literature classifies these smell interactions into collocated, coupled, and inter-smell relations, however, to the best of our knowledge, no research has used the existing ...

Multi-channel portable odor delivery device for self-administered and rapid smell testing

open access: yesCommunications Engineering
To improve our understanding of the perception of odors, researchers are often required to undertake experimental procedures with users exposed to multiple odors in a variety of settings, including to diagnose smell loss in clinics and care homes ...

Applying a new version of the Brazilian-Portuguese UPSIT smell test in Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Standardized olfactory tests are now available to quantitatively assess disorders of olfaction. A Brazilian-Portuguese version of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) is currently being developed specifically for the Brazilian

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...
