We describe the implementation of asynchronous function calls and remote partial evaluated function calls in . Both constructs are high level constructs that hide low level programming details. In the talk we present examples and show results.

Class cohesion metrics apply different approaches to quantify the relatedness of the attributes and methods in a class. These relations can be direct or transitive. Method invocations are among the key sources of potential transitive attribute-method relations. That is, a method is not only related to the attributes that it references, but it may also be transitively related to the attributes r...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate and compare the analgesic effects of caudal epidural administration of lidocaine (LIDO), caudal laser radiation and epidural lidocaine plus laser radiation in horses. Study design: A blinded, randomized, prospective, experimental cross-over study. Animals: Five healthy horses, 15.7 +/- 4.9 years of age, weighing 240 +/- 37 kg. Methods: The...

Proliferation of mobile applications in unpredictable and changing environments requires applications to sense and act on changing operational contexts. In such environments, understanding the context of an entity is essential for adaptability of the application behavior to changing situations. In our view, context is a high-level representation of a user or entity’s state and can capture activ...

A simple and sensitive extraction-fluorimetric method for the determination of copper is reported. The 1,7-diaza-15-crown-5-copper-rose Bengal (DA15C5-Cu-RB) ternary complex is quantitatively extracted into chloroform, diluted with ammoniacal acetone and its fluorescence intensity is measured at 570 nm with excitation at 540 nm. A linear calibration graph was obtained over the copper concen...

Current methods of analysis for ethylene oxide (EO) in medical devices include headspace and simulated-use extractions followed by gas chromatography with either a packed or a capillary column. The quantitation limits are about 0.5-1.0 microg/g for a packed column and about 0.1-0.2 microg/g for a capillary column. The current allowable levels of EO on medical devices sterilized with EO gas as o...

cystoscopy and urinary cytology are currently the basis for diagnosis and ‎follow-up of bladder tumors. research to find a sensitive and specific tumor ‎marker for diagnosis of bladder tumor is actively underway, however, due to low sensitivity ‎and high cost of cytology. this cross-sectional study was performed in 65 patients to evaluate whether urinary bladder ‎cancer (ubc) antigen level can ...
