Mutation testing is a powerful fault-based testing technique that makes syntactic changes to a program under test in order to simulate real faults otherwise caused by a programmer. Similar to structural coverage criteria such as statement coverage, mutation testing is used to assess the quality of a test suite. After a syntactic change has been made, the program is referred to as a mutant that ...

backgrounds and aims : in the tropical regions of iran, scorpion stings are one of the most important medical and health problems. knowing about their epidemiologic aspects might lead to the employment of appropriate preventive methods. therefore, these studies were done in qom province for this purpose. materials and methods : this research is a descriptive cross-sectional study which has been...

The advent of non-fullerene acceptors has enabled organic solar cells to reach power conversion efficiencies that were previously thought unreachable. However, in a recent Nature Materials article, Karuthedath and colleagues show the electrostatic environment at interface might put limit how much further they can be improved. To maximize solar-to-electric efficiency heterojunctions, we need des...

background and objective: scorpion sting and snakebite are the important problems in some area such as iran that must be addressed. this study was to investigate temporal pattern of scorpion sting and snakebite incidence in patients referred to masjedsoleiman’s main hospital, during 24 months from 21 march 2008 to 20 march 2009. materials and methods: it was an analytical study to scrutiny of m...

An epidemic caused by an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in China December 2019 has since rapidly spread internationally, requiring urgent response from the clinical diagnostics community. We present a detailed overview validation and implementation first laboratory-developed real-time RT-PCR test offered NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital system following Em...

The integration of renewable generation and the electrification heating transportation are critical for sustainable energy transition toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. These changes require large-scale adoption distributed resources (DERs). Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading has gained attention as a new approach incentivizing uptake coordination DERs, with advantages computational scalability,...
