A software system is more than the code; it is a set of related artifacts; these may contain defects or problem areas that should be reworked or removed; quality-related attributes of these artifacts should be evaluated
Reviews allow us to detect and eliminate errors/defects early in the software life cycle (even before any code is available for testing), where they are less costly to repair
Most problems have their origin in requirements and design; requirements and design artifacts can be reviewed but not executed and tested
A code review usually reveals directly the location of a bug, while testing requires a debugging step to locate the origin of a bug
Adherence to coding standards cannot be checked by testing

Static test techniques provide a powerful way to improve the quality and productivity of software development. This chapter describes static test techniques, including reviews, and provides an overview of how they are conducted. The fundamental objective of static testing is to improve the quality of software work products by assisting engineers to recognize and fix their own defects early in the software development process. While static testing techniques will not solve all the problems, they are enormously effective. Static techniques can improve both quality and productivity by impressive factors. Static testing is not magic and it should not be considered a replacement for dynamic testing, but all software organizations should consider using reviews in all major aspects of their work including requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Static analysis tools implement automated checks, e.g. on code.
Static testing is a software testing method that involves examination of program's code and its associated documentation but does not require the program to be executed.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting

Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting

Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
2. Static
techniques
Static test techniques provide a powerful way to improve the quality and
productivity of software development. This chapter describes static test
techniques, including reviews, and provides an overview of how they are
conducted. The fundamental objective of static testing is to improve the quality
of software work products by assisting engineers to recognize and fix their
own defects early in the software development process.
3. REVIEWS AND THE TES
PROCESSReducing the number of defects early in the product life cycle also means
that less time has to be spent on testing and maintenance. To summarize,
the use of static testing, e.g. reviews, on software work products has various
advantages:
• By detecting defects at an early stage, rework costs are most often relatively low and thus a
relatively cheap improvement of the quality of software prod ucts can be achieved.
• Since rework effort is substantially reduced, development productivity figures are likely
to increase.
• Static tests contribute to an increased awareness of quality issues.
4. REVIEW PROCESS
Phases of a formal review
In contrast to informal reviews, formal reviews follow a
formal process. A typical formal review process consists of six
main steps:
– Planning
The review process for a particular review begins with a 'request for
review' by the author to the moderator (or inspection leader). A
moderator is often assigned to take care of the scheduling (dates, time,
place and invitation) of the review.
5. Roles and
responsibilitiesThe moderator
The moderator (or review leader) leads the review process. He or she deter-mines, in co-
operation with the author, the type of review, approach and the composition of the review team.
The moderator performs the entry check and the follow-up on the rework, in order to control
the quality of the input and output of the review process.
The author
As the writer of the document under review, the author's basic goal should be to learn as
much as possible with regard to improving the quality of the document, but also to improve
his or her ability to write future documents.
6. Types of review
Walkthrough
A walkthrough is characterized by the author of the
document under review guiding the participants through the
document and his or her thought processes, to achieve a
common understanding and to gather feedback.
7. Cont....
Technical review
A technical review is a discussion meeting that focuses on
achieving con-sensus about the technical content of a document.
Compared to inspec-tions, technical reviews are less formal and
there is little or no focus on defect identification on the basis of
referenced documents, intended read-ership and rules.
8. Cont....
Inspection
Inspection is the most formal review type. The
document under inspection is prepared and checked
thoroughly by the reviewers before the meeting, compar-ing
the work product with its sources and other referenced
documents, and using rules and checklists
9. Success factors for reviews
Finda 'champion'
A champion is needed, one who will lead the process on a project
or organiza-tional level. They need expertise, enthusiasm and a
practical mindset in order to guide moderators and participants.
Pickthingsthatreallycount
Select the documents for review that are most important in a
project. Reviewing highly critical, upstream documents like
requirements and architec-ture will most certainly show the benefits of
the review process to the project. These invested review hours will
have a clear and high return on investment.
10. Cont....
– Continuously improve process and tools
Continuous improvement of process and supporting tools (e.g. checklists),
based upon the ideas of participants, ensures the motivation of the engineers
involved. Motivation is the key to a successful change process. There should also be
an emphasis, in addition to defect finding, on learning and process improvement.
– Report results
Report quantified results and benefits to all those involved as soon as possible,
and discuss the consequences of defects if they had not been found this early. Costs
should of course be tracked, but benefits, especially when problems don't occur in
the future, should be made visible by quantifying the benefits as well as the costs.
– Just do it!
The process is simple but not easy. Each step of the process is clear, but expe-
rience is needed to execute them correctly. So, try to get experienced people to
observe and help where possible. But most importantly, start doing reviews and start
learning from every review.
11. STATIC ANALYSIS BY TOOLS
Static analysis is an examination of requirements, design and
code that differs from more traditional dynamic testing in a number
of important ways:
– Static analysis is performed on requirements, design or code without
actually executing the software artifact being examined.
– Static analysis is ideally performed before the types of formal review
dis cussed in Section 3.2.
– Static analysis is unrelated to dynamic properties of the requirements,
design and code, such as test coverage.
– The goal of static analysis is to find defects, whether or not they may
cause failures. As with reviews, static analysis finds defects rather
than failures.
12. Codingstandards
Checking for adherence to coding standards is certainly the most well-known of
all features. The first action to be taken is to define or adopt a coding stan-dard.
Usually a coding standard consists of a set of programming rules (e.g. 'Always check
boundaries on an array when copying to that array'), naming conventions (e.g.
'Classes should start with capital C) and layout specifica-tions (e.g. 'Indent 4
spaces').
Code metrics
As stated, when performing static code analysis, usually information is
calculated about structural attributes of the code, such as comment fre-
quency, depth of nesting, cyclomatic number and number of lines of code.
13. Cont....
The important thing for the tester is to be aware that the
above mentioned static analysis measures can be used as early
warning signals of how good the code is likely to be when it is
finished.
In summary the value of static analysis is especially for:
– early detection of defects prior to test execution;
– early warning about suspicious aspects of the code, design or
requirements;
– identification of defects not easily found in dynamic testing;
