XML is the de facto standard for data exchange between arbitrary applications. These applications are written in object-oriented programming languages like Java or C# for example. Consequently the need arises to integrate XML into existing object-oriented programming languages. Moreover, many applications have to keep and deal with persistent data and objects. A lot of frameworks are currently ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol (e2), oxytocin (ot), relaxin (relaximol) injection and prostaglandin e1 (misoprostol) suppository on the cervix dilation, time of cervical dilation persistency and pregnancy rate of zandi ewes using artificial insemination. eighty 3-4 years old and 55±2.5 kg weight ewes were used for this study. in experiment 1, the ewes were assigne...

The objectives of this study were to analyze the genetic properties of three measures of lactation persistency in Polish Holstein-Friesian cows, and possibly to choose one measure which could be used for estimation of breeding value for lactation persistency in the Polish dairy cattle population. Data included 117,327 first three lactations of 110,141 cows calved in 1995-2009. The lactation cur...

A property P of term rewriting systems (TRSs, for short) is said to be persistent if for any many-sorted TRS R, R has the property P if and only if its underlying unsorted TRS (R) has the property P. This notion was introduced by H. Zantema (1994). In this paper, it is shown that con uence is persistent.

A synthesis procedure for asynchronous control circuits from a high level speci cation, signal transition graph (STG), is described. In this paper, we propose some syntactic constraints on STG to guarantee hazard-free implementation. We have introduced a global persistency concept in order to establish the relationship between the persistency concept introduced by Chu [2] (which we call local p...

Our goal was to examine rates and predictors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance adherence and persistency, since studies of such adherence and persistency in patients with chronic hepatitis (CHB) are currently limited.Consecutive CHB patients (N = 1329) monitored for ≥1 year at 4 US clinics from January 1996 to July 2013 were retrospectively studied. Surveillance adherence was eval...

AIMS To establish the 3-year persistency rate of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and its predictors, and to examine drinking patterns of recently remitted individuals. DESIGN AND SETTING The Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study-2 (NEMESIS-2) surveyed a nationally representative sample of adults (aged 18-64 years) at baseline (response = 65.1%) and 3-year follow-up (response = 80.4%...

OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship between childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) and filling of medicine prescriptions for prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with young adult intelligence (IQ) as a potential mediator. DESIGN Birth cohort study with logistic and Cox-proportional hazard regression analyses of associations between childhood SEP, retrieved from birth certificates,...
