Twins could play a crucial role in our understanding of genetic contributions to numerous etiologically complex disorders. In China, although adult twins are relatively rare, twins will become increasingly available due to increasing twin birth rates. Thus, child twin data will be a valuable resource to contribute to the field of child and adolescent psychopathology. The first twin database of ...

This paper describes the KIDS1 approach to database management system (DBMS) construction. KIDS aims at the development of a DBMS-construction approach by defining specification-based approaches strongly relying on software reuse. We propose an architecture model that supports reuse of architectures, but is also able to integrate various DBMS components into a coherent entirety. Second, KIDS de...

Managing the infoglut in this information age requires more than the traditional and xed computing environment in order to keep up with fast changing technologie. Cellular and mobile communications ooer exibility in accessing and manipulating information without restricting users to speciic locations. While this technology is revolutionary in its approach to managing data, many issues remain to...

SUMMARY – We present the complete set of the measures of the CMB absolute temperature on the basis on the works published in the literature, recognize the main causes of error with the aim of estimating separately the magnitude of the systematic and statistical errors, by focussing in particular on the most recent observations. The main purpose of this work is to create a complete and reasoned ...

One of the eeorts of the LIOM group has been the construction of a federated database architecture which facilitates a dynamic healthcare environment. Changes occur in a federated database environment when attributes are added, removed or modiied at local database level, or when an entire node (database) is added or removed. Database systems use a powerful construct called metadata to deene the...
