This paper examines reading as done by programmers engaged in software development. Reading is an activity we feel should be of fundamental interest to studies of programming, but the practical achievement of which has not been closely examined. We give examples of programmers reading in pairs, and reading alone, and show reading in both cases to be explainable in terms of shared social practic...

q3osc is a heavily modified version of the open-sourced ioquake3 gaming engine featuring an integrated Oscpack implementation of Open Sound Control for bi-directional communication between a game server and one or more external audio servers. By combining ioquake3’s internal physics engine and robust multiplayer network code with a full-featured OSC packet manipulation library, the virtual acti...

Many theories of the high-tech career focus on the purported benefits of “boundarylessness”, or the lack of workers’ dependence upon specific organizations for training, financial wellbeing, and personal and professional advancement or growth. This paper calls into question many of the underlying assumptions behind “boundaryless” careers and proposes an alternative model for high-tech employmen...

In this research, the activity of MnO, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated. According to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained for evaluation of oxide activity using Masson’s theory. The obtained relations were solved according to Levenberg- Marquardt method and using Matlab software. The results were correlat...

TRLs have the benefit of providing a common understanding of the status of a technology in its development pathway, a means of assessing and managing risk, and decision making concerning funding and implementation of technology. As with any management tool, there are certain limitations and disadvantages to its use. These include the creation of extra reporting, paperwork, reviews, lengthy adop...

I wish to comment on the limitations of an automated remnant lipoprotein cholesterol (RemL-C) assay reported in Clinical Chemistry (1 ). Remnants are lipoprotein particles produced after newly formed triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) of either hepatic or intestinal origin enter the plasma space and undergo lipolysis via the action of lipoprotein lipase in the capillary bed. During this proc...
