This paper introduces the principles behind Enterprise JavaBeans including examples of both session and entity beans. It also discusses techniques for incorporating Enterprise JavaBeans into a computer science curriculum specifically within a distributed processing course and database course. The paper ends with an evaluation and summary of Enterprise JavaBeans.

Abstract Widely-used, empirically-supported treatments focus on reducing experiential avoidance (EA) as a mechanism of social anxiety disorder (SAD) symptom change. However, little is known about how EA and SAD symptoms bidirectionally interrelate from session to session, or throughout the course an intervention—a gap that raises significant theoretical clinical questions mechanistic role EA.

My job as conference chair has allowed me to work with an extremely talented group of people committed to bring you the best possible security conference. I sincerely wish to thank them for all their hard work over the course of the year. The ACSAC team has constantly strived to improve the conference. This year we have added a new " behind the scenes " feature of an ACSAC steering committee. T...

Methods We developed a teaching program for nursing staff on the care of patients receiving epidural analgesia. The program consisted of a lecture course and interactive teaching session with a pre course questionnaire to assess existing knowledge of the benefits and complications of epidural analgesia and management of common side effects. We repeated the questionnaire after the course without...

We have developed a set of interactive tools for collecting, annotating, and analyzing group communication sessions. These tools have been used to model group meetings which we have enacted on our computer-based video conferencing system as well as single location meetings. The purpose of this work is to support the analysis of group meetings over computer-based video conferencing systems. The ...

Session types support a type-theoretic formulation of structured patterns of communication, so that the communication behaviour of agents in a distributed system can be verified by static type checking. Applications include network protocols, business processes, and operating system services. In this paper we define a multithreaded functional language with session types, which unifies, simplifi...

BACKGROUND The visual system adjusts to changes in the environment, as well as to changes within the observer, adapting continuously to maintain a match between visual coding and visual environment. We evaluated whether the perception of oriented blur is biased by the native astigmatism, and studied the time course of the after-effects following spectacle correction of astigmatism in habitually...

The specialty of pediatrics is exemplary in interdisciplinary medical practice. Hospital pediatricians are often at the heart of such teams, and we are therefore well situated to be educational leaders preparing preclerkship medical students for interdisciplinary work. This essay explores the experience I had preparing and piloting an interdisciplinary session for students in their “Introductio...

Consumer engagement during sensory testing can be influenced by multiple factors. This study sought to determine the impact multi-session and consumer has on panelist engagement. To measure engagement, Engagement Questionnaire (EQ) was included in a three-week repeated session test. Participants evaluated 11 different whole wheat breads over course of three weeks. At end each subjects completed...

Two novel mechanisms are introduced to take advantage of network coding in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), namely: with Network-Coded Window Transformation (TCP-NWT) and TCP-NWT augmented dynamic loss prediction, called Predictive-Network-Coding (TCP-PNC). uses handle packet losses without retransmissions. TCP-PNC predicts the expected loss-ratio on an ongoing basis during course a session...
