Software maintainers routinely have to deal with a multitude of artifacts, like source code or documents, which often end up disconnected, due to their different representations and the size and complexity of legacy systems. One of the main challenges in software maintenance is to establish and maintain the semantic connections among all the different artifacts. In this paper, we show how Seman...

Considering the fact that engagement with political economy is central to any fully rounded analysis of language and language-related issues in the neoliberal-stricken world today, and that applied linguistics has ignored the role of political economy (Block, Gray, & Holborow, 2012),  for the first time, this study investigated the representations of neoliberal ideologies in the Interchange Thi...

During software engineering processes lots of artifacts are produced to document the development of a concrete software. For artifacts which are related with respect to their meaning for the development process, but which differ in their formal foundation, formal associations often do not exist or are not documented. This leads to gaps in the documentation of the software engineering process. T...

While Software Aging and Rejuvenation (SAR) research has been steadily increasing, the artifacts related to SAR studies (such as software aging measurements and bug datasets) are seldom made available to researchers and practitioners, thus limiting potential improvements of rejuvenation solutions and their practical adoption. We discuss in this paper the role of artifacts in SAR research, and p...

introduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is common in endodontically treated teeth. conventional and digital radiographies have limitations for detection of vrfs. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) offers greater detection accuracy of vrfs in comparison with conventional radiography. this study compared the effects of metal artifacts on detection of vrfs by using two cbct systems. methods a...

Abstract A database was constructed of 134 reference plastic samples and their Raman spectra to aid in the rapid accurate identification polymer composition mid-twentieth century purses component parts from Plastics Artifacts Collection at Syracuse University Libraries. Work began by making testing database, which led determination that matching artifact sample worked well for having signal-to-...

Shahdad and Yahya which are two important prehistoric sites in the Kerman Province, are of most important forArchaeometallurgical studies. During excavations at these sites a number of metal objects have been discovered.Moreover, evidence of metal working on the surface testify to manifacturing of metal objects. This also shows that thesite might have experienced craft specialization.The follow...

Symbolic artifacts present a challenge to theories of neurocognitive processing due to their dual nature: they are both physical objects and vehicles of social meanings. While their physical properties can be read of the surface structure, the meaning of symbolic artifacts depends on their embeddedness in cultural practices. In this study, participants built models of LEGO bricks to illustrate ...

ANSWERS 1. e. none of the above The ECG represents a pseudo-arrhythmia due to artifacts. Two clues direct you to the correct interpretation. The first clue reveals sinus rhythm in lead II. The normal appearance of the complexes in lead II is a result of the cancellation of artifacts and not because of a transient return to normal rhythm. The second clue is that most of the leads show sharp defl...
