Algorithms for optimizing model-based incomplete block designs

This work proposes a model-based approach that optimizes model parameters, and evaluates first- and best-improvement algorithms, simulated annealing (SA), threshold accepting (TA), and two novel algorithms utilizing directional derivatives (dd) to guide exchanges.

An Empirical Evaluation of Using Large Language Models for Automated Model-Based Test Generation

This paper presents an empirical evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automated model-based test generation, compared with a state-of-the-art model-based testing tool (GraphWalker) and its built-in algorithms (random and quick random for edge and vertex coverage settings).

"A Second Set of Eyes": The Process and Challenges of Software Documentation Review

The work identifies five distinct stages of the documentation review process: self review, technical review, editorial review, play testing, and post-publication feedback, and draws on practitioners with distinct expertise to address quality across content, presentation, and user experience.

Investigating Software Aging in LLM-Generated Software Systems across Generation-and-Execution Environments

It is found that functional correctness alone is insufficient to assess the operational reliability of LLM-generated software before deployment in continuously running environments, and aging trends can also emerge in manually developed implementations.

Comparison of Therapist-Guided Versus Self-Guided Internet-Based Stress Inoculation Therapy (ISIT) on Psychological Distress Symptoms in Women After Miscarriage in Iran: A Study Protocol of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

The positive results of ISIT counseling on psychological distress symptoms and reducing perinatal grief during follow-ups conducted immediately post-intervention and 3 months after the intervention suggest that it will be useful for managing the complications of spontaneous abortion.

Modeling Physical Activity Profiles in COPD Patients: A Basis Expansion Approach to Variable Domain Functional Regression Models

A novel basis expansion approach is proposed to fit a variable‐domain functional regression model, which assumes the functional nature of the covariate (daily steps) and incorporates the sample data into the model without alignment to enrich the interpretability of the model.

PLCBench: Can Autonomous LLM Agents Turn PLC Access into Sustained Physical Impact?

PLCBENCH is presented, to the authors' knowledge, the first real-PLC hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) framework for characterizing this cyber-to-physical capability and its boundaries and it combines vendor-native interaction, commercial PLC execution, closed-loop reduced-order process simulation, and independent outcome verification.
