Front Cover: This special issue is dedicated to commemorate Wolfgang P. Meier, who had significant contributions in the fields of amphiphilic copolymer syntheses and their hierarchical self-assembly, block vesicles (so-called polymersomes), hybrid membranes. The self-assembly molecules generating nano- or micro-assemblies (membranes, micelles, vesicles, nanoparticles) that can be combined with ...

The presence of dead code may affect the comprehensibility, the readability, and the size of source code so increasing the effort and the cost for maintenance. The elimination of dead code needs a huge cost and effort for recognizing and eliminating code that is not effectively used. The goal of this work consists in defining an approach based on the Kaplan Meier estimator to analyze dead code....
