Abstract

In the ever-evolving field of Deep Learning (DL), ensuring project quality and reliability remains a crucial challenge. This research investigates testing practices within DL projects in GitHub. It quantifies the adoption of testing methodologies, focusing on aspects like test automation, the types of tests (e.g., unit, integration, and system), test suite growth rate, and evolution of testing practices across different project versions. We analyze a subset of 300 carefully selected repositories based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. This study reports insights on the prevalence of testing practices in DL projects within the open-source community., Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, The 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability, and Security (QRS) 2024

Abstract

In present investigation, toxic, repellent, antifeedent and growth inhibition effects of five different plant extracts: Melia azedarach, Pegnum hermala, Salsola baryosma, Azadirachta indica and Zingiber officinale, were evaluated on different life stages of T. castaneum. The highest mortality (10.14%) was observed with A. indica and the minimum mortality (0.67%) was invoked by Z. officinale treatment. Similarly, A. indica showed highest repellent effect compared to rest of the plants. Feeding deterrence was highest (90.15%) with S. baryosma treatment, followed by P. hermala (84.85%), M. azedarach (80.19%), A. indica (73.48%) and Z. officinale (57.58%). The extracts inhibited the growth of T. castaneum. Inthe case of A. indica, the lowest numbers of larvae (32.67), pupae (16.33) and adults (11.33) emerged at 15% concentration, while the highest emergence of larvae (80.33), pupae (75.00) and adult (71.00) were observed for Z. officinale. The other three plant extracts had moderate regrowth inhibition on the beetle. Overall, A. indica extract was found to be the most effective while, Z. officinale extract was least effective against the beetle. This study can be very helpful in future when the use of plant extracts become common and available to the farmers as an alternative to synthetic pesticides.

Abstract

Present study was designed to investigate the effects of different combinations of three temperatures (20, 25 and 30℃) and three relative humidity levels (55, 65 and 75%) on the efficacy of three synthetic IGRs i.e., pyriproxyfen, lufenuron and buprofezin at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10ppm on fecundity and adult emergence inhibition of T. granarium under controlled laboratory conditions. This study was conducted at Grain Research Training and Storage management Cell, Department of Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. All the treatments were replicated three times using Completely Randomized Design. Larvae of T. granariumwere exposed to IGRs at different levels of temperature and relative humidity. F1 adult emergence results showed that at temperature 20ᵒC, the highest percent reduction in adult emergence (84.38, 70.65 and 79.94%) was recorded after exposure to lufenuron, buprofezin and pyriproxyfen treated diet, respectively. At 75% relative humidity, lufenuron, buprofezin and pyriproxyfen caused 77.53, 80.00 and 80.32% reduction in adult emergence, respectively. Adults were exposed to IGRs at different temperature and relative humidity to evaluate the oviposition inhibition. The results revealed that at temperature 20℃, maximum percent reduction in fecundity (87.95, 80.45 and 70.55%) was recorded after exposure to buprofezin, pyriproxyfen and lufenuron treated diet, respectively. At 75% relative humidity buprofezin, pyriproxyfen and lufenuron caused 86.73, 83.72 and 69.11% reduction in fecundity, respectively. It is concluded that temperature and relative humidity play an important role in the effectiveness of insect growth regulators.
