Performance microbenchmarking is essential for ensuring software quality by providing granular insights into code efficiency. While automated performance microbenchmark generation tools (e.g., ju2jmh) are proposed to alleviate practitioners from manually curating microbenchmarks, the high volume of generated benchmarks can lead to protracted benchmarking execution time, as many of the generated benchmarks are too short in nature to be valuable for evaluating performance. In this paper, we present a novel approach that optimizes microbenchmark execution through a batching strategy, i.e., grouping benchmarks with similar code coverage and treating them as a single unit to 1) reduce execution overhead and 2) reduce the bias from microbenchmarks that are too short. We evaluate the effectiveness of this enhancement across various Java projects, comparing the execution times of clustered and individual micro benchmarks. Our findings demonstrate substantial improvements in execution efficiency, reducing execution time by up to 89.81% while preserving high microbenchmark stability.

Managing the classroom and lab activities in the university and reporting process for the problems that occur during lectures is a hard process that needs more consideration. This study addresses challenges faced by technicians and academic staff in university classrooms, emphasizing the need for a streamlined automated issue reporting system. This paper proposes a comprehensive system aimed at improving communication, efficiency, and effectiveness in addressing classroom issues, benefiting technicians, students, and lecturers. Quantitative Analysis and evaluation of the system's user experience from instructors and technicians showed highly positive outcomes, indicating its high effectiveness in managing classroom issues and improving overall classroom management. Moreover, the statistical test revealed no statistically significant differences (α= 0.05) in the willingness to use the classroom issue management system between technicians and academic staff, indicating similar user perceptions and readiness for both groups to utilize the system.

Background: Predicting immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response remains a significant challenge in cancer immunotherapy. Many existing approaches rely on differential gene expression analysis or predefined immune signatures, which may fail to capture the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying immune response. Network-based models attempt to integrate biological interactions, but they often lack a quantitative framework to assess how individual genes contribute within pathways, limiting the specificity and interpretability of biomarkers. Given these limitations, we developed PathNetDRP, a framework that integrates biological pathways, protein-protein interaction networks, and machine learning to identify functionally relevant biomarkers for ICI response prediction. Results: We introduce PathNetDRP, a novel biomarker discovery approach that applies the PageRank algorithm to prioritize ICI-associated genes, maps them to relevant biological pathways, and calculates PathNetGene scores to quantify their contribution to immune response. Unlike conventional methods that focus solely on gene expression differences, PathNetDRP systematically incorporates biological context to improve biomarker selection. Validation across multiple independent cancer cohorts showed that PathNetDRP achieved strong predictive performance, with cross-validation the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves increasing from 0.780 to 0.940. Interestingly, PathNetDRP did not merely improve predictive accuracy;it also provided insights into key immune-related pathways, reinforcing its potential for identifying clinically relevant biomarkers. Conclusion: The biomarkers identified by PathNetDRP demonstrated robust predictive performance across cross-validation and independent validation datasets, suggesting their potential utility in clinical applications. Furthermore, enrichment analysis highlighted key immune-related pathways, providing a deeper understanding of their role in ICI res
