Soil crusting impact on soil organic carbon losses by water erosion
S. Maïga-Yaleu, I. Guiguemde, H. Yacouba, H. Karambiri, O. Ribolzi, A. Bary, R. Ouedraogo, V. ChaplotThe Sahelian region, characterized by erratic, heavy rainfalls and low soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, is highly vulnerable to land degradation. While water erosion is recognized as being a main mechanism of SOC losses, little research has yet been done to investigate the role which soil...

Empirical evaluation of bug linking
T. BISSYANDETo collect software bugs found by users, development teams often set up bug trackers using systems such as Bugzilla. Developers would then fix some of the bugs and commit corresponding code changes into version control systems such as svn or git. Unfortunately, the links between bug reports and...

Network structure of social coding in GitHub
T. BISSYANDESocial coding enables a different experience of software development as the activities and interests of one developer are easily advertised to other developers. Developers can thus track the activities relevant to various projects in one umbrella site. Such a major change in collaborative...
