Role of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase in aetiological diagnosMD TIEN
This study evaluated the diagnostic value of measuring adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in the pleural fluid of 50 patients with pleural effusions. The results showed that ADA levels were above 36 IU/L in all 41 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis. In the 8 patients diagnosed with malignancy, ADA levels were above 18.5 IU/L. One patient with hypoproteinemia had an ADA level of 8.21 IU/L. With a cutoff of 36 IU/L, ADA had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 22.3% for tuberculosis, and a sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 20.1% for malignancy. ADA levels above 100 IU/L were found

The document provides information about the BrainGate system, which is a neuroprosthetic device that allows users to control external devices like computers with their brain activity. It consists of a sensor implanted on the motor cortex of the brain that detects electrical signals associated with movement planning. These signals are transmitted to a computer system via a connector on the skull. The computer analyzes the brain signals and translates them into commands to control a computer cursor or other devices. This provides a "BrainGate pathway" for users who have lost limb function to control devices with their thoughts. The system was developed by Cyberkinetics to help paralyzed individuals and represents an early application of brain-computer interface technology.

[Workshop] Analyzing Your Deliverables: Developing the Optimal Documentation ...Scott Abel
Presented by Nicki Bleiel at Documentation and Training LIfe Sciences, June 23-26, 2008 in Indianapolis.
Documentation deliverables have evolved beyond manuals and online help in recent years, and with the emergence of Web 2.0, things are changing faster than ever. Technical communicators have many more options to enhance the user experience, and developing many of them provide the opportunity to work with other departments to find a more holistic approach to content development and delivery. But there is no one-size-fits-all set of solutions. This workshop will review the types of analysis you need to do to determine which deliverables are right for your project, your customer, and your company.
Other factors that can’t be ignored, such as translation needs, staff/time constraints, file size limitations, corporate image and control, and proprietary concerns will also be discussed, including:
Analyzing the Product
* Intended audience; delivery method (desktop, web application, etc.); competitor offerings; software development methodology. The UI as part of the Help system. Product Management expectations.
Identifying User Wants and Needs
* Preferences and expectations for information; work environment; knowledge and experience levels.
Ascertaining Internal Needs and Opportunities
* Working with Training, Support, and Marketing to reduce duplication and provide the user with consistent, useful information.
* Finding ways to incorporate information from other departments to improve documentation.
Accessing Deliverable Options
* What is the optimum mix for the product?
* The traditional: online help, manuals, embedded help, job aids, forums, web sites, technical support knowledgebases.
* Emerging trends: wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, software demonstrations, podcasts, and other collaborative tools. They can supplement and/or enhance the traditional. Or, they may be a better fit for internal knowledge management or marketing use.
Optimizing the Library
* Single-sourcing; best practices for structuring information; continuous publishing

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
