Investigating the Impact of Continuous Integration Practices on the Productivity and Quality of Open-Source Projects [PDF]
Background: Much research has been conducted to investigate the impact of Continuous Integration (CI) on the productivity and quality of open-source projects. Most of studies have analyzed the impact of adopting a CI server service (e.g, Travis-CI) but did not analyze CI sub-practices.

Practical Relevance: A Formal Definition [PDF]
There is a general agreement that it is important to consider the practical relevance of an effect in addition to its statistical significance, yet a formal definition of practical relevance is still pending and shall be provided within this paper. It appears that an underlying decision problem, characterized by actions and a loss function, is required

Some Long-Standing Quality Practices in Software Development [PDF]
The desire to build quality software systems has been the focus of most software developers and researchers for decades. This has culminated in the design of practices that promote quality in the designed software. Originating from the inception of the traditional software development life cycle (SDLC), through to the object-oriented methods, Iterative

A modified practical homodyne detector model for continuous-variable quantum key distribution: detailed security analysis and improvement by the phase-sensitive amplifier [PDF]
The practical homodyne detector model of continuous-variable quantum key distribution models the inherent imperfections of the practical homodyne detector, namely the limited detection efficiency and the electronic noise, into trusted loss. However, the conventional practical homodyne detector model is valid only when both the imperfections of the ...

Practical Occupational Medicine in "Practice" [PDF]
In Denmark, the practice of occupational medicine tends to be carried out by specialists in occupational medicine and less so by family physicians. The provision of health service to workers is therefore limited. This constraint may also apply in other developed countries and even more in countries with few occupational health resources. This Editorial

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

What are the Machine Learning best practices reported by practitioners on Stack Exchange? [PDF]
Machine Learning (ML) is being used in multiple disciplines due to its powerful capability to infer relationships within data. In particular, Software Engineering (SE) is one of those disciplines in which ML has been used for multiple tasks, like software categorization, bugs prediction, and testing.

This week's Practice section has a trio of interesting and useful articles. Giuseppe Lauria and Raffaella Lombardi review recent advances in the use of skin biopsy to diagnose and monitor peripheral neuropathy (doi: 10.1136/bmj.39192.488125.BE). An easy to perform 3 mm punch biopsy can make the diagnosis of small nerve fiber neuropathies, which can be

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
