(1) A systems analysis approach was used to study slowly adapting knee joint receptors. Transfer functions were obtained from the receptor response to sinusoidal inputs of knee joint angle over a range of frequencies from 0.01 to 7 Hz. (2) The Bode plots obtained in the dynamic studies revealed a high pass filter characteristic with a magnitude slope on the order of 5 dB/decade and a phase lead...

We present a study of how Linux kernel developers respond to bug reports issued by a static analysis tool. We found that developers prefer to triage reports in younger, smaller, and more actively-maintained files (§2), first address easy-to-fix bugs and defer difficult (but possibly critical) bugs (§3), and triage bugs in batches rather than individually (§4). Also, although automated tools can...
