Although architectural smells are one of the most studied type technical debt, their impact on maintenance effort has not been thoroughly investigated. Studying this would help to understand how much debt interest is being paid due existence architecture and can be calculated. This work a first attempt address issue by investigating relation between source code changes. Specifically, we study w...

Interface cracks are seldom subjected to pure Mode I or pure Mode II conditions. Station~y interface cracks between two distinct, bonded elastic-creep materials subjected to remotely applied mixed mode loading are simulated. The finite element method (FEM) is used to examine crack tip fields and candidate driving force parameters for crack growth. Plane strain conditions are assumed. In most ca...

Damage to specimen collections occurs in practically every herbarium across the world. Hence, some precautions must be taken, such as investigating factors that cause damage their and evaluating collection handling usage policy. However, manual investigation of causes requires a lot effort time. Only few studies have attempted investigate damage. So far, non-gaussian approach detecting specimen...
