“…Our initial search found 45 relevant articles published between 2000 and 2020, of which 9 reported repetitive data. After screening for titles, 38 abstracts, and 15 full-text reviewed, 5 studies reporting RCTs (Krudsood et al, 2007;Trung et al, 2009;Song et al, 2011;Thanh et al, 2012;Onasanya et al, 2015), and 2 reporting a noncomparative single-arm studies (Deng et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2020) were included for the analysis (Figure 1).…”

“…Among the included studies, one was published in the Chinese language (Deng et al, 2008) and others in the English language (Krudsood et al, 2007;Trung et al, 2009;Song et al, 2011;Thanh et al, 2012;Onasanya et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2020). Four of the five RCTs (Krudsood et al, 2007;Trung et al, 2009;Song et al, 2011;Thanh et al, 2012) and the two single-arm studies (Deng et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2020) reported PCR-confirmed cure rate on day 28, while one trial reported the same on day 42 (Onasanya et al, 2015). A total of 917 participants were included in the experiment, including 145 in the single-arm study, 335 in the AP group, 188 in the DHP group, 25 in the ASAM group, 59 in the ASAQ group, and 165 in the AL group.…”

“…Piperaquine is a 4chloroquinoline compound (1,3-bis[1-(7-chloro-4'-quinolyl)-4'piperazinyl]) that was used in China in 1970s-80s. Reportedly, as compared with piperaquine phosphate, patients showed better tolerance to piperaquine; moreover, piperaquine could help reduce the treatment expense and time (Davis et al, 2005;Krudsood et al, 2007). A study on the pharmacodynamics of artemisinin and its derivatives yielded that they have the beneficial properties of wide distribution, fast excretion, and absorption in vivo (Woodrow et al, 2005).…”

“…They cannot detect changes that require moving code from one method to another or coordinating changes to multiple methods in the way our approach does. Some other studies detect refactoring opportunities by searching for user-built code that may be replaced with certain library calls [53] or upgraded with calls to different versions of library APIs [42]. Those techniques mostly rely on graph-based matching and substitution, while we rely on compact and efficient vector-based representations.…”

Automated techniques have been proposed to either identify refactoring opportunities (i.e., code fragments that can be but have not yet been restructured in a program), or reconstruct historical refactorings (i.e., code restructuring operations that have happened between different versions of a program). In this paper, we propose a new technique that can detect both refactoring opportunities and historical refactorings in large code bases. The key of our technique is the design of vector abstraction and concretization operations that can encode code changes induced by certain refactorings as characteristic vectors. Thus, the problem of identifying refactorings can be reduced to the problem of identifying matching vectors, which can be solved efficiently. We have implemented our technique for Java. The prototype is applied to 200 bundle projects from the Eclipse ecosystem containing 4.5 million lines of code, and reports in total more than 32K instances of 17 types of refactoring opportunities, taking 25 minutes on average for each type. The prototype is also applied to 14 versions of 3 smaller programs (JMeter, Ant, XML-Security), and detects (1) more than 2.8K refactoring opportunities within individual versions with a precision of about 87%, and (2) more than 190 historical refactorings across consecutive versions of the programs with a precision of about 92%.

Majority of software depends on external libraries to achieve their goals. We conducted studies to identify software similarity regarding libraries; using 91 Java opensource projects managed by Maven from Apache ecosystem and considering the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) categories for every project. We extracted software libraries to compute the similarity thought two similarity metrics: Jaccard and Cosine. Results showed one software without external library and low similarity degrees among software libraries caused by a highly disproportion quantity of dependencies per project; for instance, three projects had 100% similarity caused by depending just on JUnit library, which is also the most used dependency on analyzed projects. Although our study revealed a low similarity among selected projects, it provides useful information about trending libraries for developers based on the relation among most used libraries in Apache projects, regarding ASF categories and Apache community preferences. It also discloses reasons for similarity degrees and for most used dependencies on Apache ecosystem.
