Developers frequently use inefficient code sequences that could be fixed by simple patches.
These inefficient code sequences can cause significant performance degradation and …

Fixing software bugs has always been an important and time-consuming process in software
development. Fixing concurrency bugs has become especially critical in the multicore era. …

Concurrency bugs are widespread in multithreaded programs. Fixing them is time-consuming
and error-prone. We present CFix, a system that automates the repair of concurrency bugs…

Cloud infrastructures provide a rich set of management tasks that operate computing, storage,
and networking resources in the cloud. Monitoring the executions of these tasks is crucial …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are capable of continuous proliferation and self-renewal and are
proposed to play significant roles in oncogenesis, tumor growth, metastasis and cancer …

Concurrency bugs are caused by non-deterministic interleavings between shared memory
accesses. Their effects propagate through data and control dependences until they cause …

Silver-dispersed PVP (Ag/PVP) thin films were prepared by spin coating from an alcohol
solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in which silver nitrate were dissolved. A peak formed at …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) generates excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can
exacerbate secondary injury and result in disability and death. Secondary injury cascades can …

Fixing concurrency bugs (or "crugs") is critical in modern software systems. Static analyses
to find crugs such as data races and atomicity violations scale poorly, while dynamic …

Previous research has shown that Purinergic 2X7 receptor (P2X7R) and NLRP3 inflammasome
contribute to the inflammatory activation. In this study, we investigated whether P2X7R/…
