Microscale search-based algorithm based on time-space transfer for automated test case generation by Yinghan Hong, Fangqing Liu, Han Huang, Yi Xiang, Xueming Yan, Guizhen Mai

“…Abstract Automated test case generation for path coverage (ATCG-PC) is a major challenge in search-based software engineering due to its complexity as a large-scale black-box optimization problem. However, existing search-based approaches often fail to achieve high path coverage in large-scale unit programs. …”

Functional feature extraction and validation from twelve-lead electrocardiograms to identify atrial fibrillation by Wei Yang, Rajat Deo, Wensheng Guo

“…However, the process remains a “black box” and does not help clinicians in understanding the electrocardiographic changes at an individual level. we propose a nonparametric feature extraction approach to identify features that are associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). …”

Olfaction-based learned preference assessment without the use of motivational fear or motivational weight loss by Sara E. Moss, Ekaterina S. McCurdy, Natalya N. Thomas, Danielle Gulick, Angela M. Poff, Dominic P. D'Agostino

“…Mice developed an appetitive olfactory preference for sucrose as a reward, in the absence of motivational weight loss, as measured by time spent exploring a three-chamber association box with access to both scents. We assessed whether this protocol discriminated learning deficit induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration.ConclusionWe conclude that this protocol is a viable tool for assessing learning abilities in preclinical models with auditory or visual deficits, motor impairments, or an inability to tolerate motivational weight loss.…”
