Regression testing aims at testing a system under test (SUT) in the presence of changes.As a SUT changes, the number of test cases increases to handle the modifications, and ultimately, it becomes practically impossible to execute all of them within limited testing budget.Test suite reduction (TSR) approaches are widely used to improve the regressi
Context: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a heterogeneous course, spanning from mild forms tending to remission and reacting well to treatment, to aggressive forms resistant to classical therapeutic measures.Reliable predictive parameters of the disease course in RA are needed.Raised levels of Rheumatoid Factors (RFs) are associated with RA and that t
Abstract Background Particulate air pollution has been associated with lung and cardiovascular disease, for which lung inflammation may be a driving mechanism.The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been suggested to have a key-role in particle-induced inflammation.We studied the time course of gene expression of inflammatory
Rates of infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria have increased precipitously over the past several decades, with far-reaching healthcare and societal costs.Recent evidence has established a link between antibiotic resistance genes in human pathogens and those found in non-pathogenic, commensal, and environmental organisms, prompting deeper in
