We present a short description of the capabilities of the experimental scripting language Open PROMOL. It has been developed aiming: 1) to deliver flexible means for representing wide range modifications of a target program, and 2) to support white-box reuse for well-understood domains, such as hardware design. We describe the syntax and semantics of the basic constructs of the language. We dem...

Software modification at run-time can facilitate rapid prototyping, streamline development and debugging, and enable interactive educational programming environments. However, supporting live fine-grain program modification while reaping the benefits of a compiled type-safe language is a challenging problem. This paper presents fine-grain dynamic classes that support live object-oriented softwa...

Despite the therapeutic potential of positive training effects, few studies have explored training p...

Weight-loss medications are currently recommended for use only as an adjunct to diet, exercise, and behavior modification. Little, however, is known about the benefits of combining behavioral and pharmacological therapies or about the mechanisms that would make these combined approaches more effective than either used alone. This article reviews the effects of adding pharmacotherapy (i.e., prin...
