glaucoma
This document summarizes a study that used proteomic analysis of aqueous humor samples from patients with primary open angle glaucoma and control samples. The study identified several proteins that were present at different levels between the patient and control samples, including prostaglandin H2D isomerase and transferrin. The results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of primary open angle glaucoma and could help generate new biomarkers or treatments for the disease.
Subject verb agree
The document provides instructions for grammar practice exercises involving subject-verb agreement and prepositions. For subject-verb agreement, learners are asked to identify the subject in sentences and select the correct verb form. For prepositions, learners are to circle prepositions, bracket prepositional phrases, and underline subjects. The exercises are intended to help with grammar skills like verb conjugation and identifying parts of speech.
The molecular times
Scientists are researching genetic treatments to prevent disease by applying genetics to medical care and developing new therapies. A recent study found that extracts from axolotl oocytes were able to reactivate tumor suppressor genes in cancer cells and stop cancer growth in breast cancer cells for 60 days by changing epigenetic marks on DNA. However, simply sequencing genes to identify genetic variants does not provide a full picture of human disease, as the impact of variants needs to be determined through functional studies using good experimental models to better understand complex inherited disorders.

Lessons on Recruiting Open Source Contributors from the Google Summer of Code
The Google Summer of Code enables ~1000 students to contribute full-time to open-source software every summer. This will be Gentoo Linux's 7th year in GSoC, and we successfully recruit around 2/3 of all the students who participate in our program as long-term developers (typically ~15/year participate and ~10 join).
This talk will introduce you to GSoC, share what we've learned from it, and attempt to convince you to apply next year, either as a student or a mentoring organization.
You don't need to be a 10x Ninja Rockstar to contribute to Open Source
Why both individuals and businesses should contribute to Open Source projects, and ways in which they can do so
Making Gentoo Tick
The document discusses how to get involved with the Gentoo Linux project. It describes Gentoo as a source-based distribution maintained by volunteers that provides flexibility and customization. It outlines several ways for users to help, such as submitting bugs, contributing documentation or code, and testing packages. The recruitment process involves initially helping users, then being mentored before undergoing a probationary period and becoming a full developer. While development is emphasized, contributions through other roles are also encouraged.
How to be a distribution-friendly project
Getting your program integrated into Linux distributions will help to increase its adoption and to ensure that users have it well-integrated into their systems and kept up-to-date easily. Gentoo Linux has more than 13,000 packages, and Donnie will share his extensive experience creating and maintaining Gentoo packages and offer suggestions for improvement.
Technical and philosophical questions that determine how easy or difficult it is for distribution packagers to work with upstream developers will be discussed. Technical issues include the basic metaphor that a package\'s build and installation process is an API to distribution packages -- it should be changed carefully and purposefully, and changes should be well-documented. In addition, Donnie will describe the level of control and system integration desired by packagers. Philosophical issues, including user expectations and licensing requirements, differ between distributions and can cause major conflicts with upstream developers. Finally, Donnie will discuss developments toward the future of distribution packaging so that upstream developers can consider how this fits into the future of their software.
Package management and creation in Gentoo Linux
Gentoo Linux uses Portage for package management and software installation. Portage allows for compiling packages from source code with customizable build options. It features USE flags to selectively include features, parallel builds, binary package support, and tools that make maintenance and upgrades easy. Ebuilds define how to build and install packages and have evolved through several EAPI stages to support new features.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
