This research proposes a sightseeing assistance system in which tourists inherit information from previous tourists at particular spots in a sightseeing area. The proposed system provides users with a sightseeing service in order to promote new discoveries, actions, and interest through information inheritance. This has the same concept as "journey notes", which are available at facilities such as hotels. People can browse and post information by visiting these places. In addition, the posted information has a "life span" according to each genre. The "life span" is extended depending on evaluation by tourists. As a result, valuable information remains for longer, and non-valuable information dies out. In this way, by each tourist inheriting information which they obtained in the sightseeing area, this system provides instant and novel sightseeing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we describe an empirical study of a unique method co-change pattern that has the potential to pinpoint design deficiency in a software system. We automatically identify this pattern by inspecting the method co-change history using reasonable constraints on method association rules. We also investigate the effect of code clones on the method co-changes identified according to the pattern, because there is a common intuition that clone fragments from the same clone class often require corresponding changes to ensure they remain consistent with each other. According to our in-depth investigation on hundreds of revisions of seven open-source software systems considering three types of clones (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3), our identified pattern helps us detect methods that are logically coupled with multiple other methods and that exhibit a significantly higher modification frequency than other methods. We call the methods detected by the pattern MMCGs (Methods appearing in Multiple Commit Groups) considering the pattern semantic. MMCGs can be considered as the candidates for restructuring in order to minimize coupling as well as to reduce the change-proneness of a software system. According to our observation, code clones have a significant effect on method co-changes as well as on MMCGs. We believe that clone refactoring can help us minimize evolutionary coupling among methods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In order to observe the anti-aging and life-delay effect of taurine, the drosophila were divided into two parts, one part for the survival experiment, recorded the deaths until all the drosophila died, the mean life span(MLS), half a time of death (LT50) and mean maximum life span(MMLS) of drosophila were noted, the content of SOD and MDA in control and dose groups from both sexes were determined through the method of organization homogenate at 0d, 20d and 30d. The results indicated that the MLS of drosophila in high dose group and the MMLS of female in low, middle and high doses increased compared with control group (P [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
