--- layout: post title: "Unit testing internals" description: "FAQ: How should you unit test internals? A: Through the public API." date: 2015-09-22 11:56 UTC tags: [Unit Testing] --- {% include JB/setup %}
{{ page.description }}
This question seems to come up repeatedly: I have some internal (package-private in Java) code. How do I unit test it?
The short answer is: you unit test it as you unit test all other code: through the public API of the System Under Test (SUT).
Details can be interesting, but don't lose sight of the big picture. Why do you test your software with automated tests?
 Some would say that it demonstrates that the software works correctly, but that's inaccurate. Automated tests can only demonstrate that the software works correctly if the tests are written correctly, but that's a different discussion.
Assuming that all automated tests are correct, then yes: automated tests also demonstrate that the software works, but it's still regression testing. The tests were written to demonstrate that the software worked correctly once. Running the tests repeatedly only demonstrates that it still works correctly.
What does it mean that the software works correctly? When it comes to automated testing, the verification is only as good as the tests. If the tests are good, the verification is strong. If the tests are weak, the verification is weak.
Consider the purpose of writing the software you're currently being paid to produce. Is the purpose of the software to pass all tests? Hardly. The purpose of the software is to solve some problem, to make it easier to perform some task, or (if you're writing games) to entertain. The tests are proxies of the actual purpose.
It ought to be evident, then, that automated tests should be aligned with the purpose of the software. There's nothing new in this: Dan North introduced Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) in order to emphasise that testing should be done with the purpose of the software in mind. You should test the behaviour of the software, not its implementation.
Various software can have different purposes. The software typically emphasised by BDD tends to be business software that solves a business problem. Often, these are full applications. Other types of software include reusable libraries. These exist to be reusable. Common to all is that they have a reason to exist: they have externally visible behaviour that some consumer cares about.
If you want to test a piece of software to prevent regressions, you should make sure that you're testing the externally visible behaviour of the software.
In an ideal world, then, all automated testing should be done against the public interface of the SUT. If the application is a web application, testing should be done against the HTML and JavaScript. If the application is a mobile app, testing should be done somehow by automating user interaction against its GUI. In reality, these approaches to testing tend to be brittle, so instead, you can resort to subcutaneous testing.
 As J.B. Rainsberger explains much better than I can do, if you combine software modules (e.g. validation, business logic, data access, authentication and authorisation, caching, logging, etc) you can easily have tens of thousands distinct paths through a particular part of you software - all via a single entry point.
This isn't related to BDD, or business problems, or agile... It's a mathematical result. There's a reason the Test Pyramid looks like it does.
When you combine a procedure with four distinct paths with another with five paths, the number of possible paths isn't (4 + 5 =) nine; it's (4 * 5 =) twenty. As you combine units together, you easily reach tens of thousands distinct paths through your software. (This is basic combinatorics).
You aren't going to write tens of thousands of automated tests.
In the ideal world, we would like to only test the behaviour of software against its public interface. In the real world, we have to separate any moderately complex software into modules, and instead test the behaviour of those modules in isolation. This prevents the combinatorial explosion.
 Many books and articles have been written about how to do this. You've probably heard about Layered Application Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, or Ports and Adapters. The recent interest related to microservices is another (promising) attempt at factoring code into smaller units.
You still need to care about the behaviour of those modules. Splitting up your software doesn't change the overall purpose of the software (whatever that is).
When I do code reviews, often the code is already factored into separate concerns, but internal classes are everywhere. What could be the reason for that?
When I ask, answers always fall into one of two categories:
private void CalculateAverage() { this.average = TimeSpan.FromTicks( (long)this.durations.Average(ts => ts.Ticks)); }
This CalculateAverage method is marked private because it's unsafe to call it. this.durations
can be null, in which case the method would throw an exception. It may feel like a solution to lock down the method with an access modifier, but really it only smells of poor encapsulation. Instead, refactor the code to a proper, robust design.
There are valid use cases for the private
and internal
access modifiers, but the majority of the time I see private and internal code, it merely smells of poor design. If you change the design, you could make types and members public, and feel good about it.
The other issue, concerns about compatibility, can be addressed as well. In any case, for most developers, this is essentially a theoretical issue, because most code written isn't for public consumption anyway. If you also control all consumers of your API, you may not need to worry about compatibility. If you need to change the name of a class, just let your favourite refactoring tool do this for you, and all is still good. (I'd still recommend that you should adopt a Ranger approach to your Zoo software, but that's a different topic.)
The bottom line: you don't have to hide most of your code behind access modifiers. There are good alternatives that lead to better designs.
That was a long detour around reasons for testing, as well as software design in general. How, then, do you test internal code?
Through the public API. Remember: the reason for testing is to verify that the observable behaviour of the SUT is correct. If a class or member is internal, it isn't visible; it's not observable. It may exist in order to support the public API, but if you explicitly chose to not make it visible, you also stated that it can't be directly observable. You can't have it both ways. (Yes, I know that .NET developers will point the [InternalsVisibleTo] attribute out to me, but this attribute isn't a solution; it's part of the problem.)
Why would you test something that has no 'official' existence?
I think I know the answer to that question. It's because of the combinatorial explosion problem. You want the software to solve a particular problem, and to keep everything else 'below the surface'. Unfortunately, as the complexity of the software grows, you realise (explicitly or implicitly) that you can't cover the entire code base with high-level BDD-style tests. You want to unit test the internals.
The problem with doing this is that it's just as brittle as testing through a GUI. Every time you change the internals, you'll have to change your tests.
A well-designed system tends to be more stable when it comes to unit testing. A poorly designed system is often characterised by tests that are too coupled to implementation details. As soon as you decide to change something in such a system, you'll need to change the tests as well.
Recall that automated testing is regression testing. The only information we get from running tests is whether or not existing tests passed or failed. We don't learn if the tests are correct. How do we know that tests are correct? Essentially, we know because we review them, see them fail, and never touch them again. If you constantly have to fiddle with your tests, how do you know they still test the right behaviour?
Design your sub-modules well, on the other hand, and test maintenance tends to be much lower. If you have well-designed sub-modules, though, you don't have to make all types internal. Make them public. They are part of your solution.
A system's public API should enable you to exercise and verify its observable behaviour. That's what you should care about, because that's the SUT's reason to exist. It may have internal types and members, but these are implementation details. They exist to support the system's observable behaviour, so test them through the public API.
If you can't get good test coverage of the internal parts through the public API, then why do these internal parts exist? If they exhibit no observable behaviour, couldn't you delete them?
If they do exist for a reason, but you somehow can't reach them through the public API, it's a design smell. Address that smell instead of trying to test internals.
Comments
Dear Mark,
Thank you for this excellent article. I got one question: in the "Internals" section, you state that there are valid use cases for the internal access modifier - can you name some of them for me?
I'm also a proponent of keeping nearly all types public in reusable code bases even if most of them are not considered to be part of the API that a client usually consumes - therefore I would only think about marking a class internal if it cannot protect it's invariants properly and fail fast when it's used in the wrong way. But you also mentioned that in this article, too.
When I did a Google search on the topic, I couldn't find any useful answers either. The best one is probably from Eric Lippert on a Stack Overflow question, stating that big important classes that are hard to verify in the development process should be marked internal. But one can easily counter that by not designing code in such a way.
Anyways, it would be very kind of you if you could provide some beneficial use cases for the use of internal.
Sincerely,
Kenny
Kenny, thank you for writing. The answer given by Eric Lippert does, in my opinion, still paint an appropriate picture. There's always a cost to making types or members public, and I don't always wish to pay that cost. The point that I'm trying to make in the present article is that while this cost exists, it's not so high that it justifies unit testing internals via mechanisms like Reflections or [InternalsVisibleTo]. The cost of doing that is higher than making types or members public.
Still, there are many cases where it's possible to cover internal or private code though a public API. Sometimes, I may be in doubt that the way I've modelled the internal code is the best way to do so, and then I'd rather avoid the cost of making it public. After all, making code public means that you're making a promise that it'll be around without breaking changes for a long time.
Much of my code has plenty of private or internal code. An example is Hyprlinkr, which has private helper methods for one of its central features. These private helpers only exist in order to make the feature implementation more readable, but are not meant for public consumption. They're all covered by tests that exercise the various public members of the class.
Likewise, you can consider the private DurationStatistics class from my Temporary Field code smell article. At first, you may want to keep this class private, because you're not sure that it's stable (i.e. that it isn't going to change). Later, you may realise that you'll need that code in other parts of your code base, so you move it to an internal class. If you're still not convinced that it's stable, you may feel better keeping it internal rather than making it public. Ultimately, you may realise that it is, indeed, stable, in which case you may decide to make it public - or you may decide that no one has had the need for it, so it doesn't really matter, after all.
My goal with this article wasn't to advise against internal code, but only to advise against trying to directly call such code for unit testing purposes. In my experience, when people ask how to unit test internal code, it's a problem they have because they haven't used Test-Driven Development (TDD). If you do TDD, you'll have sufficient coverage, and then it doesn't matter how you choose to organise the internals of your code base.

Root cause
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/nvme-ebs-volumes.html
EBS uses single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to provide volume attachments on Nitro-based instances using the NVMe specification.
These devices rely on standard NVMe drivers on the operating system.
These drivers typically discover attached devices by scanning the PCI bus during instance boot, and create device nodes based on the order in which the devices respond, not on how the devices are specified in the block device mapping.
In Linux, NVMe device names follow the pattern /dev/nvme<x>n<y>, where <x> is the enumeration order, and, for EBS, <y> is 1.
Occasionally, devices can respond to discovery in a different order in subsequent instance starts, which causes the device name to change.
So, if we use NVMe disk for some new types of AWS EC2, please note that the device name is nearly randomize after each reboot. It means if we have 2 NVMe disks on one EC2 vm, so we cannot know which device name delegate to which real disk.
/dev/nvme1n1p1
/dev/nvme0n1p1
Solution
We must config fstab (permanent mount) based on UUID / label like this
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,discard 0 0
UUID="c46cf311-d31b-41ce-bce5-5d8ad0a6b109" /var/lib/elasticsearch ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2
DON’T config based on device name like this fuck
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,discard 0 0

Summary
3 big parts in Data Science jobs:
- Use EXPLORATION to turn the unknown into the known.
- Use INFERENCE to help find something new from the old.
- Use PREDICTION to make better decisions.
Scene Setting
Imagine a scenario in which our superior asked us to make suggestions for the launch of a new product, and all we have is a data set that contains the past relevant situation of this type of product.
What can we do now? What should we do?
This is a common scenario for the industry. Maybe different backgrounds, different fields, but the same purpose: we need to start with pure data and go on to obtain a product that can be implemented.
So what are the key steps in this process? Overall, we can divide it into three parts:
- EXPLORATION
- INFERENCE
- PREDICTION
Concepts & Connections
01 Exploration
It is also called visualization. Use visual exploration to understand what is in a dataset and the characteristics of the data.
Identify potential relationships or insights that may be hidden in the data which will help inference and prediction.
02 Inference
Use data analysis to deduce the properties of a dataset. The properties will give the analyst a more accurate perception of the data and provide a theoretical basis for prediction.
03 Prediction
Reference exploration and inference results encompass a variety of techniques from data mining, predictive modeling, and machine learning, that analyze current and historical facts to make predictions about unknown events.
01 Exploration (Visualization)
It is difficult for humans to process large numbers quickly, especially if the numbers are not specifically ordered. Not to mention the quick calculation of the proportional relationship between the numbers, the information within the group under certain conditions.
But the human eye can quickly process image information and extract key content from it. Therefore, facing a new data set, visualizing the data is one of the best ways to understand it.
For product data, we can explore the sales of this type of product under different channels, delivery costs, and changes over time. We can also compare the differences between different sub-categories under this large category of products to help differentiate the positioning of products.
The process of exploration and visualization can help us turn the unknown into the known.

Explore whether physical pain and social pain behave differently in the brain.

Visualizing personal stories that are closer to real life enables viewers to have a more immersive experience.
– Yorgos Askilidis (Senior Data Scientist, Instagram)
02 Inference
Due to collection costs, storage costs, or historical reasons, we cannot have a data set that contains everything that may be needed. In actual data analysis, we may need to display information that is not included in the data set directly. Visualization can only show information directly represented in the data, but for the data that is not directly displayed, we need to use inference related theory to make inferences based on the existing information.
For product data example, we can only see the values of variables of each product in the past, but the values do not directly tell us what products are successful. We need to infer and judge the success of a product based on sales volume, cost, profit margin, capital turnover cycle and the stability of the production process of the product itself.
The significance of inference is to get new information from what is already known. In other words, the inference can help find something new from the old.

Use pathological data to distinguish normal samples from abnormal samples in order to extract control groups for analysis.

Find out the most accurate and efficient indicators that can determine whether a patient has hypertension among a large number of indicators such as genetic data.
– Josh Denny (Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Medicine, Vanderbilt University)
03 Prediction
The information obtained by the visualization and inference process is based on the existing data, and the existing data must be a description of what happened before.
In actual work, it is not enough to focus on the past. We often need to make decisions about the future. At this point, data-based forecasting will become a vital part.
In the example of the product launch, we may need to predict the possible sales and profitability of the planned product before the actual product launch. According to the forecast results, we can change the resource allocation methods such as product line and pre-production volume to reduce risks and obtain higher returns.
The value of prediction lies in reducing the cost of trial and error and making better decisions.
Prediction finds target markets that are “likely to buy” and “definitely buy”, and launches products when the predicted value exceeds a certain threshold.
– Kelly Goldsmith (Associate Professor of Marketing, Vanderbilt University)
Predict the number of viewers to help determine the number of ad views that can be sold, and adjust the number of ads sale based on the forecast to complete the expected playback with minimal cost.
– Minchun Zhou (Senior Data Scientist, Comcast)
For Wal-Mart in-home delivery, predict what and how often specific consumers might buy, and related products that they might want to try.
– Betsy Barton (Director of Data Science, Walmart In-Home Delivery)
Epicycle
Of course, this process may be performed more than once. We may need to perform multiple processing on the same data set, and re-reflect and summarize after each processing, considering what can be implemented next.
For example, after visualization, think about whether there are still questions that not clear enough and need to be explored. After using inference to investigate, consider again how to visualize the results. And based on the results obtained in previous steps, we can also think about whether we can use them to make predictions and what are the suitable prediction methods.
In a broad sense, this process also belongs to some kind of epicycle. These parts do not appear in a purely linear sequence, but exist in a repeatable and mutually affecting relationship. They constantly promote each other and ultimately form a successful project.
Conclusions
In order to achieve the goal more efficiently and successfully, in the actual operation process, we should first determine what type of things we need to do. Do we want to understand the data, or dig deeper based on the existing information, or predict what has not happened based on the existing data.
After confirming the purpose, it is clear from the definition whether what we need to do is exploration, inference or prediction.
Finally, the best solution will be found according to the category.
At the same time, we need to carry out this process multiple times in the same project, and constantly improve and expand until a satisfactory result is achieved.


I'll start by saying that I come from a very strong, conservative Christian family. I am a straight A college student majoring in Computer Science, two years into my degree. I have 4 brothers, 1 sister, two parents, and a 19-year-old cousin all living in the same house. Thus far, my parents have been unaware of my drug use, but they have been suspicious at times. Now their worst fears were confirmed and I lost a lot of respect. They still love me, but I don't think they will ever view me the same way again.
I had just stolen some Vicodin pills from my Grandma (she has a bottomless prescription) and had a prescription for Klonopin and Celexa for 'anxiety' (that I didn't have). I am only 20 and had trouble getting alcohol, so I bought some mouthwash. Now it was a Friday and I did not have to work that night. I planned to trip hard on some allergy pills. I didn't know what to expect as I had never taken the combination I was planning on. I'm not sure why I took the Celexa, but I felt that the Vicodin and Klonopin would help with the uncomfortable side effects and make it more of a journey. Boy was I in for a journey!
6:00 p.m.
I down 30 mg Vicodin (along with the unfortunate but necessary 1500 mg tylenol). 10 minutes later I am beginning to feel very good. So good in fact, that my judgement begins to weaken. I suddenly think it would be a good idea to take the Klonopin. I take one pill. I wait about 1 minute (!!) impatiently and take another... then another. I don't notice anything. My guess is that the Klonopin snuck under the Vicodin and merely weakened my judgement further. Not to be foiled (I wanted to trip!), I thought it would be a good idea to go into the bathroom and drink some mouthwash. I downed about 3-4 oz. For some reason I didn't mind the taste at all. Then I pop 4 Celexa... without even thinking.
6:30 p.m.
My parents ask me if I want to go shopping at Costco with them. I was feeling so good and free that I made the very bad mistake of saying 'sure!' The ride there felt great. We walked into the store and I'm rolling a bit. I was having a bit of trouble keeping my balance. I told my parents I'd go look in the computer aisle (so I could get away from them). I was walking around the computer aisle and ALL-OF-A-SUDDEN, out of NOWHERE, I throw up all over myself. I had sat down very quickly before it came out, but couldn't keep the vomit in. So now I'm in the computer aisle at Costco with vomit all over me and spreading over the floor. I used to work there for a year so SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE KNEW ME!!
But I didn't care. I was high on vicodin, klonopin, and alcohol. I was numb, carefree, and happy.  I wasn't thinking that my vomit must've smelled strongly of mouthwash!
7:30
Home again, and I'm still feeling great. I decide it's time to take the Benadryl (NOOOOOOOO!!!!!). I get out my big Costco-sized bottle and start surfing, reading stories about people tripping. I go to a movie website and read about some movies. I pop 8 pills. About 5 minutes later, I pop 5 more. Then another 5. I'm still feeling great, and beginning to feel the allergy-pill high like I never have before. I go upstairs and drink 2 doses of Nyquil, and a little more mouthwash. I then go back downstairs and surf the internet popping benadryl.  I kept forgetting how much I took, but felt so good that I just kept popping more.
This is where my memory STOPS and I don't remember A THING!!! That is a VERY SCARY feeling.
My cousin says he found me leaning over a tall dresser in our basement. He poked me and I just mumbled 'ehhh I'm fiinne'. Not being familiar with my drug use, he left me for a few minutes. When he came back, I was crumpled in a heap on the CONCRETE floor (OW!!). He was unable to arouse me. He got my parents and they decided to immediately rush me to the hospital. My breathing was very, very ragged and shallow, and my pulse was faint. Not wanting my younger brothers to know about this, my parents put me in our van and take me to the hospital as quickly as they can.
My parents tell me I was completely out for over 5 hours. Then I started waking up several times, but I don't remember any of those at all.  One time I said it was too early to go to school (ha ha!)
It is now about 4:00 a.m. in the morning, my throat is extremely dry, my dick is VERY sore (which it would be for a couple weeks--DAMN CATHETERS!), and I am too numb to even care. I stumble out of the hospital bed and back into our van and they start asking me questions. I hide all my previous drug use and say it was an 'accident'. I'm still quite messed up but sober enough to understand them now. They tell me my stomach had been pumped and I tested positive for FOUR different kinds of drugs! Opiates, Alcohol, Klonopin, and Celexa (it didn't catch the benadryl, apparently). I get nervous and mention those were my prescriptions, still trying to hide my drug use... pure futility. They found the open allergy pill bottle next to where I passed out, with pills next to it (presumably, I kept taking them until I passed out... I do not remember this).
I have now come clean with my parents about all my drug use, and have gained some respect back. I have a ways to go, but I am cleaning up my act and I will now look to meditation and healthy forms of altering consciousness instead of drugs. I have learned that drugs are only a path to Satan's doorstep... they are so easy; they take no effort.
My parents said the doctors told them I was in very serious condition and could've gone into cardiac or respiratory arrest, especially if I was not found as early as my cousin found me and had my stomach pumped.
Please, if you are going to alter your consciousness with drugs, plan beforehand and HIDE any drugs that you may want to take while UNDER THE INFLUENCE. It almost KILLED ME!

After the past few weeks of analyzing other websites, we were asked to turn inward and analyze
our own User Science Journal for usability using the WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation) tool
from last week, as well as Google’s own Lighthouse tool that is included under the ‘Audit’ tab
in Chrome Dev Tools.
I was very interested to find out what the results of these two tests might be, given that this
blog was built using a bootstrap framework provided to us as part of the course, as well as how
the results from each tool might differ. That being said, I was not quite sure what to expect.
The Findings and Fixes
The pages I decided to test were the home page, about page and last week’s blog post Evaluating Accessibility. Out of familiarity from last week, I used the WAVE tool on all 3 and compared the results from each page.In the report for each page, there were only 3 flagged errors for each page which which consisted of empty links in the social media buttons. Truth be told, it was something I noticed but never went out of my way to fix. What better time than the present? I don’t have twitter so I removed that button, but updated the Facebook and Github buttons to have links, alt text and open in another browser.
Another call out highlighted the Structural Elements (headings and unordered lists) which recommended to review each element to ensure that it is being used appropriately.
There were also 4 areas that were flagged for having "Very Low Contrast" in the navigation and body section, which I updated the CSS to make the text stand out more.
The next step in the process was to run the Lighthouse audit on the pages and
comparet the results as well to each page and the WAVE results.
Overall, the pages had accessability scores ranging from 78-87 due to errors such as
missing alt text and contrast issues.
What I enjoyed most about using this tool was that it highlights any errors, then
gives you a very clear list of additional elements to check for compliance with
collapsable descriptions that tells you what to look for. I feel like Lighthouse is
a very thorough and beneficial tool to use.
Conclusion
Completing this assingment helped me to realize that creating accessible sites is not as difficult or intimidating as it may seem, especially with how many tools and resouces are available for developers across the internet. I also found the bootstrap framework to be incredibly helpful in making the site more accessible.

Violent thug who repeatedly stabbed victim is on the run after escaping prison
Aiden Morrissey was jailed in Birmingham for almost nine years for stabbing a man who tried to stop him assaulting a woman at a cashpoint
by James Rodger, Lila RandallA prisoner who was jailed for knife crime and battery is on the run after escaping an open prison.
Aiden Morrissey, 21, was jailed for eight years and eight months for wounding with intent and possessing a knife in public in February 2017.
He was also sentenced for two counts of battery against a woman who he punched in the eye and pulled her hair, Birmingham Live reported.
The public are being warned not to approach the dangerous knifeman after he fled a prison close to the Staffordshire border.
He left HMP Sudbury, an open prison in Ashbourne, yesterday and has not returned.
He is white, five foot 10 inches tall and has grey eyes and brown hair. He also has the word "mom" tattooed on his right arm.
Morrissey was jailed after he repeatedly stabbed Will Flint, an award-winning fitness competitor, when Flint intervened in the teenager attacking a woman at a cashpoint.
Mr Flint - who was 27 at the time - had heard a commotion in the early hours of New Years Day and went to help when Morrissey attacked, leaving him with a dozen separate knife wounds and 60 stitches.
Speaking at the time, Mr Flint said the severity of his wounds meant he would no longer be able to compete in the professional fitness sphere.
A police spokesman said: "If you have seen Morrissey or know of his whereabouts, please do not approach him, instead contact the police immediately quoting reference number 19561817."
Anyone with any information can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Synaptic input to a CA1 pyramidal cell -------------------------------------- Bruce P. Graham 5-5-14 Code underpinning the paper: B.P. Graham, A. Saudargiene and S. Cobb, Spine head calcium as a measure of summed postsynaptic activity for driving synaptic plasticity. Neural Computation, in press, 2014. Abstract: We use a computational model of a hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cell to demonstrate that spine head calcium provides an instantaneous readout at each synapse of the postsynaptic weighted sum of all presynaptic activity impinging on the cell. The form of the readout is equivalent to the functions of weighted, summed inputs used in neural network learning rules. Within a dendritic layer, peak spine head calcium levels are either a linear or sigmoidal function of the number of coactive synapses, with nonlinearity depending on the ability of voltage spread in the dendrites to reach calcium spike threshold. This is strongly controlled by the potassium A-type current, with calcium spikes and the consequent sigmoidal increase in peak spine head calcium only present when the A-channel density is low. Other membrane characteristics influence the gain of the relationship between peak calcium and the number of active synapses. In particular, increasing spine neck resistance increases the gain due to increased voltage responses to synaptic input in spine heads. Colocation of stimulated synapses on a single dendritic branch also increases the gain of the response. Input pathways cooperate: CA3 inputs to the proximal apical dendrites can strongly amplify peak calcium levels due to weak EC input to the distal dendrites, but not so strongly vice versa. CA3 inputs to the basal dendrites can boost calcium levels in the proximal apical dendrites, but the relative electrical compactness of the basal dendrites results in the reverse effect being less significant. These results give pointers as to how to better describe the contributions of pre- and post-synaptic activity in the learning rules that apply in these cells. The calcium signal is closer in form to the activity measures used in traditional neural network learning rules than to the spike times used in spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). Code: run_PC.hoc - main file for running simulations with a GUI (also accessible from mosinit.hoc) run_batsyn.hoc - file for running batches of simulations Instructions: Run run_PC.hoc and do the following: First notice that an image showing the Figure 1 placement of the spines on the dendrites is displayed: To reproduce voltage responses illustrated in Figure 1: 1. set number of synapses to 0 for each dendritic layer (Synapses GUI). 2. set IClamp[0] amp to 1.5 nA. 3. select "Shape plot" in the "Shape plot" window to visualise dendritic voltage. 3. click "Init & Run" in RunControl to run simulation for 200 msecs. 4. click Dendrites under "Max voltage plots" in plots GUI to see the decline with distance of the membrane voltage following spike initiation in the soma. 5. reduce the density of KA channels in the dendrites to 0.01 mS/cm^2 in the "Ion Channels" GUI. 6. rerun the simulation and replot the voltage to see the reduced decline with distance. To reproduce spine head calcium and voltage traces as in Figure 3: 1. set IClamp[0] amp to 0 nA and KA to 0.03 mS/cm^2 (if necessary) 2. select the number of synapses to be activated in each layer eg 100 in "CA3 apical" (SR) and 0 in "CA3 basal" (SO) and 0 in EC (SLM) to match Fig. 3 you can activate up to 500 synapses in each layer, with every synapse receiving a single presynaptic input at 50 msecs). 3. run simulation and calcium concentration and voltage in one of the SR synapses (index 0) will be plotted in Graph[2] and Graph[1], respectively (the other traces in these windows are for an SO synapse (index 500) and an SLM synapse (index 1000). 4. try reducing KA to 0.01 and rerunning the simulation to see the effects of increased "cooperation" between the active synapses. Run run_batsyn.hoc to do the following: To generate curves of mean peak spine head calcium versus number of active synapses (as in many of the figures in the paper), run the file: run_batsyn.hoc. This will carry out multiple simulations with different numbers of active synapses (currently set to increments of 20 up to 500 in SR; but this can be changed by editing the file and setting the "obvious" parameters). When the batch of simulations finishes and graph window will appear: right-click on this and set "View=plot" to see the calcium versus "number of synapses" curve (see e.g. Figure 2). 20150524 Update from Ted Carnevale: Changed integration method from euler to derivimplicit which is appropriate for simple ion accumulation mechanisms. See Integration methods for SOLVE statements http://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=592

But there's no doubt that, we went for this approach, we built this internal framework that we called Faceweb, which is basically this idea that we can take the infrastructure that we built out for pushing code everyday, building web code on the web stack that we have, and that we can translate that into mobile development. We just were never able to get the quality of it we wanted…

Abstract: This system demonstration paper presents IRIS (Informal Response Interactive System), a chat-oriented dialogue system based on the vector space model framework. The system belongs to the class of examplebased dialogue systems and builds its chat capabilities on a dual search strategy over a large collection of dialogue samples. Additional strategies allowing for system adaptation and learning implemented over the same vector model space framework are also described and discussed. 1

Compares the 64-bit value in EDX:EAX with the operand (destination operand). If the values are equal, the 64-bit value in ECX:EBX is stored in the destination operand. Otherwise, the value in the destination operand is loaded into EDX:EAX. The destination operand is an 8-byte memory location. For the EDX:EAX and ECX:EBX register pairs, EDX and ECX contain the high-order 32 bits and EAX and EBX contain the low-order 32 bits of a 64-bit value.
This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.
To simplify the interface to the processor's bus, the destination operand receives a write cycle without regard to the result of the comparison. The destination operand is written back if the comparison fails; otherwise, the source operand is written into the destination. (The processor never produces a locked read without also producing a locked write.)

Arrays and hashes
What is the difference between arrays and hashes?
July 26, 2015
Arrays and Hashes are two ways of storing and accessing data. They allow you to collect an amount of keyword, numbers etc.
Arrays
Arrays are basically just lists. They can list objects like strings, integers, floats or other arrays. You can use arrays when you just want to store a list of items. Example: favorite_animals = [“turtles", “cats", “dogs", “birds"]
Hashes
Hashes are pretty similar to arrays. However, the difference is that hashes store two kinds of information: key and value. In this context the value defines the key by adding it a sort of definition. Example: personal_information={:last_name => "Buck", :first_name => "Katharina", :age => 100}
