Evaluating Software Testing Techniques: A Systematic Mapping Study
… To accomplish this we utilize a systematic mapping study; structuring the field and identifying research gaps and publication trends. We then present a small case study demonstrating how our mapping study can be used to assist researchers in evaluating their own software testing techniques. …

An Empirical Assessment of the Software Design Pattern Concept
… survey to identify claims for patterns, a mapping study to identify empirical studies about patterns, an online survey, and a narrative synthesis. The mapping study and the online survey together provide quite comprehensive and thorough evidence for the narrative synthesis. In the narrative …

Reliable Embedded Systems Development
… an overview of AIESD generated from a systematic mapping study are discussed. An Agile test support (ATS) co-processor was proposed to provide low-overhead test insertion capability to embedded processors. The performance of the ATS was compared to existing hardware-assisted test insertion …

Impact of assistive technologies in supporting people with dementia.
… including literature review and systematic mapping studies. The second part uses primary research methods including interviews (N=20) and questionnaire (N=327) based surveys for data collection and requirements elicitation. The third part is based on the design, development, and testing of …

Improving Genetic Analysis with Augmented Experimental Designs
… linear modeling approaches. Data from a genetic mapping study in cotton and early generation trial in spring wheat were used to demonstrate the use of proposed models. With the use of generalized lattice model, the residual variance was reduced approximately by 65% for seed and lint yields in …

Utilizing facial scanning to screen for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in South Africa
… to support early screening and referral. This study explored the potential role of OHPs in FASD screening using artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted facial imaging tools within the South African primary healthcare. This multi-component research project comprised four elements: a scoping …

Structural geology of the Gass Peak area Las Vegas Range, Nevada
A field-mapping study of the area around Gass Peak, Las Vegas Range, Clark County, Nevada, has demonstrated the presence of a thick sequence of Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks overthrust on younger, Upper Paleozoic beds along the Gass Peak Thrust. Formations recognized in the upper plate of the …

Social and Technical Quality Analysis in Software Projects
… of architecture smells through a systematic mapping study. Next, we perform a relationship analysis of package size with maintainability characteristics. To fill the gaps in the relationship of social and technical aspects, we empirically conduct relationship studies of community and …

Information-sharing models for computational genetics
… First, we build a statistical model for genetic mapping using pooled sequencing, a powerful and efficient technique for rapidly unraveling the genetic basis of complex traits. Our approach explicitly models the pooling process and genetic parameters underlying the noisy observed data, and we use …

Investigating community-based responses to alleviating loneliness and social isolation among older people
… isolation among older populations. Next, a study profiled existing interventions in NI implemented to alleviate loneliness and social isolation, by interviewing key stakeholders about the characteristics of relevant services using the TIDieR checklist. The loneliness framework by the …

A regional study of landslide hazards and related features in the Upper Indus River Basin, northern Pakistan
… The techniques honed for this regional landslide mapping study began with compiling a stitched shaded topographic map of the Upper Indus River watershed; using remotely-sensed topographic maps from Russia combined with ASTER DEM 30m resolution data. Topographic recognition keys were then employed …

The genetics of atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale
… them in unrelated probands with ASD. In this study, 1/102 individuals with ASD had an NKX2-5 mutation, and 1/129 had a deletion of the GATA4 gene. The cardiac transcription factor TBX20 interacts with other ASD genes but had not previously been associated with human disease. Of 352 individuals …

QTL Mapping of Panicle Architecture and Yield-Related Traits Between Two U.S. Rice Cultivars 'LaGrue' and 'Lemont'
… to the overall panicle yield. A QTL analysis and mapping study on panicle architecture and yield-related traits was performed to identify major QTL and candidate genes associated with the traits. The first objective of the project was to do a yield study evaluating 15 agronomic traits between each …

Understanding the role of CD4+ T cells in common immune-mediated diseases
… risk. I first introduce a large epigenetic study which profiled active promoters and enhancers in 55 different CD4+ T cell and macrophage states. By integrating these data with GWAS loci with a novel statistical approach, I conclude that immune disease loci are enriched in enhancers and …

Characterization of the soybean genome in regions surrounding two loci for resistance to soybean mosaic virus
… not been mapped previously. The purpose of this study is to investigate the two genomic regions that contain these vitally important resistance genes. A population of 281 F2 individuals that had previously been genotyped for reaction to SMV was evaluated in a mapping study which combined bulk …

The Genetics of Type 2 Diabetic End-Stage Renal Disease in African Americans
… 18q21.1-23, candidate gene analysis, fine mapping, and dense SNP mapping methods were used. Using a candidate gene approach, the carnosinase genes (CNDP1 and CNDP2) were evaluated for their role in diabetic nephropathy susceptibility in African Americans. After a sequencing study and an …

Evaluations of soybean genotypes for drought tolerance and charcoal rot resistance
… tests. In Chapter 4, a genome-wide association mapping study was conducted by phenotyping a diverse soybean collection of 350 genotypes for their response to M. phaseolina inoculation. Data from the cut-stem inoculation method were associated with the SoySNP50K marker dataset to detect and map …

Exploring the Potential of Non-programmer Contributions in Code Review
… on those programmers. We conducted a systematic mapping study and an online survey to understand the challenges in code review in-depth and to identify the ones that require addressing. These studies confirmed that the high cost has been a challenge in code review. To possibly over- come this …

Investigations on the influence of CO2 on leaf epidermal development in Arabidopsis thaliana
… metrics change in response to p[CO2]. In this study, changes in the leaf epidermis under elevated and ambient CO2 have been characterized across the plant life cycle and the genetic basis of these traits has been explored by quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping of an Arabidopsis recombinant …

Discovery and characterization of genes controlling nitrogen utilization in maize
… of maize N utilization, we conducted a genetic mapping study using a hybrid population created by crossing the intermated B73 x Mo17 recombinant inbred lines (IBMRIL) to the Illinois High Protein 1 (IHP1) inbred line. Agronomic N utilization, component physiological traits, and gene expression …
