Object-Oriented Frameworks provide software developers with the means to build infrastructure for their applications. Unfortunately, frameworks do not always deliver on their promises of reusability and flexibility. To address this, we have developed a conceptual model for frameworks and a set of guidelines to build object oriented frameworks that adhere to this model. Our guidelines focus on i...

Analysis of persistence frameworks in J2EE The amount of information stored in computer systems is increasing at a rapid rate and the software handling the persistent data of such systems is growing correspondingly more complex and hard to maintain. Persistence frameworks manage the persistence by performing automated conversion between the database systems and the business code using the persi...

This brief discusses the policy implications of a research study commissioned by Health Workforce Australia (HWA) within its health workforce innovation and reform work program. The project explored conceptually complex and operationally problematic concepts related to developing a whole-of-workforce competency-based education and training and competency-based career framework for the Australia...

Copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [Cu3(btc)2] (1) and [Cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400,  500, and 600°C. It has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...
