Control dependence forms the basis for many program analyses, such as program slicing. Recent work on control dependence analysis has led to new definitions of dependence that can cater for reactive programs with their necessarily non–terminating computations. One important such definition is the definition of Weak Order Dependence, which was introduced to generalize classical control dependenc...

We present a study of different implementation variants of the Singleton pattern and propose an intuitive definition of this pattern expressed as a first-order logic formula. We also show that our method for automatically detecting design patterns can be used to detect instances of the Singleton with respect to this definition. We also provide data on experiments with a proof-of-concept impleme...

Background: CD93 has originally been known as a C1q receptor, and many studies have demonstrated that CD93 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, B cell progenitors, myeloid and monocytic cells. Moreover, CD93 is shown to be expressed on long-lived plasma cells, and CD93 deficient-mice display an impairment in plasma cell development. Objective: To investiga...
