Software clone refactoring has been studied from many perspectives, including empirical research on clone refactoring history, IDE support for tracking clone change, and recommendation systems for clone management. Most of the work relies on having access to and being able to analyze the history of clone refactoring. However, refactoring cloned code is not equivalent to clone management, as cod...

Abstract Production of fresh pineapple fruit is dominated by the MD2 clone, while GP3 clone used as canned fruit. To be promoted fruit, has some defects, namely a less sweet taste and sensitivity to internal browning (IB) disorders. The clones need coatings, two might get responded differently. This study aimed effects chitosan-based coating mixed with palm stearin Aloe vera gel on qualities cl...

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Clone DB (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clone/) is an integrated resource providing information about and facilitating access to clones, which serve as valuable research reagents in many fields, including genome sequencing and variation analysis. Clone DB represents an expansion and replacement of the former NCBI Clone Registry and has reco...

Code clone inspection is an integral part of software clone management to assess the quality of clones or the tools reporting them, to decide how to resolve code clone issues, and so on. As clone inspection is a manual process its feasibility is limited especially when working with large numbers of clones. This is rather critical as clone detection tools may return many clones even when applied...

The C-minor partial orders determined by the clones generated by a semilattice operation (and possibly the constant operations corresponding to the identity or zero elements) satisfy the descending chain condition. 1. C-minors and C-decompositions Let A be a fixed nonempty base set. An operation on A is a map f : A → A for some integer n ≥ 1, called the arity of f . Denote by OA = ⋃ n≥1A A the ...

the intestinal bacterial diversity of stichopus japonicus was investigated using 16s ribosomal rna gene (rdna) clone library and polymerase chain reaction/denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (pcr-dgge). the clone library yielded a total of 188 clones, and these were sequenced and classified into 106 operational taxonomic units (otus) with sequence similarity ranging from 88 to 100%. the cov...

ABSTRACT One of the factors that may affect and limit production in eucalypt plantations is attack defoliating insects. Among those, brown caterpillar, Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), stands out for being major pest Eucalyptus spp. Brazil. Thus, present study aimed to investigate food consumption T. arnobia, its native host, guava (Psidium guajava L.), different E....

A general relationship between fluctuation and response in a biological system is presented. The fluctuation is given by the variance of some quantity, whereas the response is given as the average change of that quantity for a given parameter change. We propose a relationship where the two are proportional, in a similar way to the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in physics. By studying an evolu...

Code clones have long been recognized as bad smells in software systems and are considered to cause maintenance problems during evolution. It is broadly assumed that the more clones two files share, the more often they have to be changed together. This relation between clones and change couplings has been postulated but neither demonstrated nor quantified yet. However, given such a relation it ...
