Patch Space Exploration using Static Analysis Feedback [PDF]
Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques typically rely on a given test-suite to guide the repair process. Apart from the need to provide test oracles, this makes the produced patches prone to test data over-fitting. In this work, instead of relying on test cases, we show how to automatically repair memory safety issues, by leveraging static analysis (

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Patch Quality and Diversity of Invariant-Guided Search-Based Program Repair [PDF]
Most automatic program repair techniques rely on test cases to specify correct program behavior. Due to test cases' frequently incomplete coverage of desired behavior, however, patches often overfit and fail to generalize to broader requirements. Moreover, in the absence of perfectly correct outputs, methods to ensure higher patch quality, such as ...

PPT4J: Patch Presence Test for Java Binaries [PDF]
The number of vulnerabilities reported in open source software has increased substantially in recent years. Security patches provide the necessary measures to protect software from attacks and vulnerabilities. In practice, it is difficult to identify whether patches have been integrated into software, especially if we only have binary files. Therefore,

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Guidelines for performing skin tests with drugs in the investigation of cutaneous adverse drug reactions [PDF]
Skin testing with a suspected drug has been reported to be helpful in determining the cause of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR). Many isolated reports of positive drug skin tests are published, but without detailed information concerning the ...

Improvements to context based self-supervised learning
We develop a set of methods to improve on the results of self-supervised learning using context. We start with a baseline of patch based arrangement context learning and go from there.
