ion Gradient Both VisualAge for Java and Java Studio are based on the JavaBean component model implemented by Java; so they are object-oriented systems. Prograph can be used a full object-oriented programming environment. Therefore, these environments have all abstraction mechanisms that an object-oriented language offers.

This paper surveys the existing slicing techniques for object-oriented programs. Many commercial objectoriented programs are concurrent in nature. Concurrency is typically implemented in the form of multithreading or message passing using sockets or both. We therefore review the available techniques in slicing of concurrent object-oriented programs. Another trend that is clearly visible in obje...

Object-oriented design plays a pivotal role in software development because it determines the structure of the software solution. Once the design has been implemented, it is difficult and expensive to change. Therefore the design should be good from the start. Metrics can help to evaluate and improve the quality of a design. Many metrics of object-oriented design have been proposed. Unfortunate...

cognitive linguistics gives the most inclusive, consistent description of how language is organized, used and learned to date. cognitive linguistics contains a great number of concepts that are useful to second language learners.  if-clauses in english, on the other hand, remain intriguing for foreign language learners to struggle with, due to their intrinsic intricacies. efl grammar books are ...

Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 12 Number 2 Summer 2007 34 Development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has opened awhole newwindow on the brain. Patients with severely impaired consciousness, who were previously thought to be incapable of cognitive or sensory function, have been found, with the use of fMRI, to have stimulus-activated cortical networks, despite...

The new materials in public art installations give the birth to interactivity and participation, which in turn, introduces new challenges, not only in the creative design process, but also in how to involve the participants in this process and in evaluating the targeted experience such as such as social connectedness and inclusion. Six design cases are presented, as examples for interactive and...
