20080274950Cell Adhesion by Modified Cadherin Molecules - The potential role of so called ‘cell adhesion recognition motifs’ (CARs) in cadherin adhesion has been emphasized. Due to the importance of cadherin binding in biological process, there remains a need to develop effective ways of manipulating cadherin adhesion. According to the present invention, there is provided a pair of cadherin molecules modified to enhance intermolecular adhesion (i.e. adhesion or binding between the pair of cadherin molecules) compared with corresponding unmodified cadherin molecules. Intermolecular adhesion between the cadherin molecules may be enhanced by reducing or eliminating intramolecular binding within each cadherin molecule. For example, intramolecular binding may be reduced or eliminated by diminishing or preventing intramolecular binding of an N-terminal binding strand of each cadherin molecule with a binding strand acceptor pocket of each cadherin molecule. Additionally or alternatively, the intramolecular binding may be reduced or eliminated by diminishing or preventing the formation of an intramolecular ionic bond between the NH2 terminus of each cadherin molecule with a contact acidic amino acid residue of each cadherin molecule.11-06-2008

20090313605TOOL FOR PREDICTING FAULT-PRONE SOFTWARE FILES - A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for predicting the fault-proneness of code units (files, modules, packages, and the like) of large-scale, long-lived software systems. The method collects information about the code units and the development process from previous releases, and formats this information for input to an analysis stage. The tool then performs a statistical regression analysis on the collected data, and formulates a model to predict fault counts for code units of the current and future releases. Finally, the method computes an expected fault count for each code unit in the current release by applying the formulated model to data from the current release. The expected fault counts are used to rank the release units in descending order of fault-proneness so that debugging efforts and resources can be optimized.12-17-2009
