Pair programming is a practice in which two programmers work collaboratively at one computer on the same design, algorithm, or code. Prior research indicates that pair programmers produce higher quality code in essentially half the time taken by solo programmers. Pair programming is becoming increasingly popular in industry and in university curricula. An experiment was run at North Carolina St...

Building on the work of Bedford, Cooke and Joe, we show how multivariate data, which exhibit complex patterns of dependence in the tails, can be modelled using a cascade of pair-copulae, acting on two variables at a time. We use the pair-copula decomposition of a general multivariate distribution and propose a method to perform inference. The model construction is hierarchical in nature, the va...

In the previous work, we have developed a method for visual imitation by recovering the demonstrator’s view based on the stereo epipolar constraint [1]. The method is applied to the stationary pair of the stereo cameras, therefore, the visual fields to observe the both motions of the demonstrator and the learner are limited. This paper presents a method to extend our previous work by adopting a...

Recent experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of pair programming in terms of quality and productivity. Growing interest towards global software development is fostering the design of suitable methods and tools for distributing software processes, at any level of detail, from entire subprocesses up to a single activity. Consequently, people placed in different locations could also share pro...

In this work we present an efficient procedure to evaluate effective pair potentials, compatible with "experimental" structure factors, using a Monte Carlo simulation scheme. The procedure does not require the use of inverse Fourier transforms and is robust and rapidly convergent. As a test case the structure factor of liquid Selenium obtained from a Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics simulation ...

in this paper, we give connection between the order of the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups and its factor groups, when ? is considered to be the specific variety. moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition in which the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of groups can be embedded into the generalized baer-invariant of pair of its factor groups.

in this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (f¯, cl¯ and br¯) and ion pairs (na+f¯, na+cl¯ and na+br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (cp) composed of l-proline have been performed in the gas phase. in order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the cp and ions, dft-d3 calculations at the m05-2x-d3/6-31g(d) level was employed. based on t...

a simple extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of miconazole nitratein both pure and pharmaceutical preparation. the method is based on the formation of ion-pair complex of thedrug with acidic dye bromothymol blue (btb) in acidic condition, followed by its extraction in organic solvent(chloroform). the absorbance was measured against the corresponding blank....

Wee (TCC’14) and Attrapadung (Eurocrypt’14) introduced predicate and pair encodings, respectively, as a simple way to construct and analyze attribute-based encryption schemes, or more generally predicate encryption. However, many schemes do not satisfy the simple information theoretic property proposed in those works, and thus require much more complicated analysis. In this paper, we propose a ...
