H -CFA: A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH FOR PUSHDOWN CONTROL FLOW ANALYSIS by Fei Peng The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Tian Zhao In control flow analysis (CFA), call/return mismatch is a problem that reduces analysis precision. So-called k -CFA uses bounded call-strings to obtain limited call/return matching, but it has a serious performance problem due to i...

This article is the second of two on the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) as a method to assess construct validity. The construct validation criteria required by the conventional MTMM approach are satisfied only by certain ideal data sets, such as those in which the method variance of measures is very low. The CFA approach to multitraitmultimethod (MTMM) data is more general, in that v...

BACKGROUND Activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) in dorsal horn of the spinal cord by peripheral inflammation is contributed to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. Although electroacupuncture (EA) has been widely used to alleviate various kinds of pain, the underlying mechanism of EA analgesia requires further investigation. This study investigated the relationship bet...

This article shows that (1) deriving a modular version (in the framework of incremental analysis) from a whole-program CFA makes the resulting analysis polyvariant at modulelevel, (2) if the original whole-program CFA was less accurate than or incomparable to module-level polyvariant analyses, then the correctness of its modular version may not be proven in general with respect to the original ...

We propose a novel lossless and lossy compression scheme for color filter array (CFA) sampled images based on the wavelet transform of them. Our analysis suggests that the wavelet coefficients of HL and LH subbands are highly correlated. Hence, we decorrelate Mallat wavelet packet decomposition to further sparsify the coefficients. In addition, we develop a camera processing pipeline for compre...

The study reported here investigated the immunogenicity and protective potential of a lipid core peptide (LCP) construct containing a conserved region determinant of M protein, defined as peptide J8. Parenteral immunization of mice with LCP-J8 led to the induction of high-titer serum immunoglobulin G J8-specific antibodies when the construct was coadministered with complete Freund's adjuvant (C...

Lienert (1969, 1971a) justified his invention of Configural Frequency Analysis (CFA) by the observation that higher-order interactions may exist in threeand higher-dimensional data even if no correlations between any pairs of variables can be observed. In Lienert (1971b) Hierarchical CFA (HCFA) was proposed in order to find that subset of variables which shows the highest degree of interdepende...

introduction: immune system is involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of inflammation and vitamins are important sources of substances inducing nonspecific immunomodulatory effects. given the proinflammatory role of cytokines in the inflammation and pain induction, this study aimed to assess the effects of long-term administration of vitamin b1 on the proinflammatory cytokines, edema, and...

Revised version of "SAC 95" 31/08/95] Abstract Control ow analysis (cfa) is now well known but is not widely used in real compilers since optimizations that can be achieved via cfa are not so clear. This paper aims at showing that control ow analysis is very valuable in practice by presenting a fundamental optimization based on cfa: the closure representation algorithm, the essential optimizing...

BACKGROUND The CatWalk system, a video based automated gait analysis system developed to evaluate footfall and gait changes in rodents, has been used for studying rodent models of arthritis, mainly the rat model. However, it has not been used to study static and dynamic gait parameters in mice with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). CFA is used extensively to induce arthritis in rodents includin...
