Active Learning for Inference and Regeneration of Applications that Access Databases by Shen, Jiasi, Rinard, Martin

“…Because the technique works with only externally observable inputs, outputs, and database contents, it can infer the behavior of applications written in arbitrary languages using arbitrary coding styles (as long as the behavior of the application is expressible in the domain-specific language). …”

VERY LARGE-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE QUADRATIC ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM by Ahuja, Ravindra, Jha, Krishna, Orlin, James, Sharma, Dushyant

“…Previous efforts to explore larger size neighborhoods (such as 3-exchange or 4-exchange neighborhoods) were not very successful, as it took too long to evaluate the larger set of neighbors. In this paper, we propose very largescale neighborhood (VLSN) search algorithms where the size of the neighborhood is very large and we propose a novel search procedure to heuristically enumerate good neighbors. …”

Engineering protein thermostability using a generic activity-independent biophysical screen inside the cell by Asial, Ignacio, Cheng, Yue Xiang, Engman, Henrik, Dollhopf, Maria, Wu, Binghuang, Nordlund, Pär, Cornvik, Tobias

“…We also show that thermostabilization of a protein drug using our approach translates into dramatic improvements in long-term stability. As the method is generic and activity independent, it can easily be applied to a wide range of proteins.…”

An epistemic case study: how businesses exploit consumers in self-care by Kok, Wenyi

“…With references to specific companies involved in the topic of self-care, and drawing theories from Fricker, Goldman, Carson, Wokutch and Cox, businesses’ interests for profits, along with its strong influence can shape the public’s belief regarding self-care. I argue that in the long run, businesses’ involvement in the topic of self-care will cause negative epistemic effects on the public’s belief. …”

Investigation of pollen microgel and its viability as a sunscreen product by Koh, Wei Jun

“…However, exposure to a combination of common organic UV filters such as oxybenzone and homosalate is worrying considering the lack of safety data for these compounds, which does not make the long-term use of chemical sunscreens viable. Therefore, there has been extensive research conducted on the possibility of having more natural ingredients being used as sunscreen. …”
