Code clones, the result of the ”copy&paste” programming technique, have negative impact on software quality and on the efficiency of the software maintenance process. Although copying may be the fastest way of creating a new feature, after a while it is really hard to detect and maintain the multiple instances of the same code snippets. Based on static source code analysis, clone detectors try ...

The model explores how team production incentives ex post affect team formation decisions ex ante. In the game, one agent decides whether to share jurisdiction over a project with other agents.

Recent studies have changed the commonly held view that phosphate is mostly needed for normal skeletal growth and development. Extensive research in the last decade has identified numerous other essential dynamic functions for phosphate, ranging from signalling to energy metabolism. Abnormal phosphate homeostasis potentially affects functional activities of almost any organ system. Despite its ...
