The Total Growth of Open Source

چکیده
Software development is undergoing a major change away from a fully closed software process towards a process that incorporates open source software in products and services. Just how significant is that change? To answer this question we need to look at the overall growth of open source as well as its growth rate. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the growth of more than 5000 active and popular open source software projects. We show that the total amount of source code as well as the total number of open source projects is growing at an exponential rate. Previous research showed linear and quadratic growth in lines of source code of individual open source projects. Our work shows that open source is expanding into new domains and applications at an exponential rate.

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of soybean, linseed and sunflower oil (various sources of fatty acids) with and without L-carnitine supplements (0 and 50 mg kg-1) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits of Japanese quail. One hundred and ninety-two of 7-day old female Japanese quail were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments with 4 replicates and fed...
متن کاملEffect of Temperature and pH on the Growth Kinetics and Carotenoid Production by Sporobolomyces ruberrimus H110 Using Technical Glycerol as Carbon Source
A new isolated strain of Sporobolomyces ruberrimus H110 was cultivated on technical glycerol as carbon source and effect of different temperatures and pH on the growth and pigmentation was studied. The maximum concentration of total carotenoid was 3.84 mgg-1 including torularhodin (3.70 mgg-1) and β-carotene (0.14 mgg-1) using 19ºC at pH 6, but the highest ...
متن کاملComparison of growth parameters, cortisol and muscle gene expression of rainbow trout reared in an open and water reuse system
Fish farming in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) has been expanding in the recent years, but the effects of water reuse are not well known. The aim of the present study was to compare the growth parameters, stress response and muscle stress- and growth- related gene expression of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in open system (OS) versus water reuse system (WRS). For this purpose, yo...
