Analyzing execution path non-determinism of the Linux kernel in different scenarios by Yucong Chen, Xianzhi Tang, Shuaixin Xu, Fangfang Zhu, Qingguo Zhou, Tien-Hsiung Weng

“…However, the execution path of a system call is effectively non-deterministic in Linux kernel space, which challenges the test coverage-based verification recommended by the functional safety standards. This research analyzes the influence of system state on Linux kernel path variability from two perspectives: file system type and system load. …”

Evaluation the correlation between Inulin and Cystatin C with kidney function tests and GFR in patients with renal disorders by Nawar Mohsin Abd-alaziz, Wasan Nazhan Hussein

“… Background: Kidneys are important organs in the human body because of their great importance in assisting the body to remove waste products that resulting from food metabolism through renal filtration of blood plasma from unwanted substances and excreted through diuresis and recover substances that body needs to the blood, relative effectiveness of the kidney can be estimated by measuring the efficiency of glomerular filteration rate (GRF), represented by amount of inulin filtrate into renal tubules for a specified period of time, any difference in normal value indicates the presence of a disorder in the kidney, which affects on performance of its functions and occurrence of imbalance in internal environment of the body, and leads to disrupting functions of other parts of the body, measuring rate of renal filtration is one of the best ways to know function of the kidneys and diagnose various kidney diseases and prevent their development. …”
