1 This work was partially supported by NSF grant #CCR-9803876 Abstract In this paper, we describe restructuring of C code into new C++ classes. Such restructuring is done to facilitate both software reuse and software evolution. The restructuring is accomplished by restructuring tools and scenarios. We discuss the transformation tool-set and the design of the individual tools. The approach is d...

The benefits of cognitive-behavioral treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have been evidenced by several meta-analyses. However, the differential effectiveness of behavioral and cognitive approaches has shown inconclusive results. In this paper a meta-analysis on the effectiveness of psychological treatment for OCD is presented by applying random- and mixed-effects models. The lite...

The health care system, and hospitals, underwent considerable restructuring and downsizing in the early to mid-1900s in several countries as governments cut costs to reduce their budget deficits. Studies of the effects of these efforts on nursing staff and hospital functioning in various countries generally reported negative impacts. Health care restructuring and hospital downsizing was again b...

Farm restructuring during transition is often defined as a combination of the change of the internal organization of a farm and the change in farm size, following the liberalization of the economy and the privatization of property rights. Following this definition, farm restructuring involves downsizing farm units and reorganizing management-ownership-workforce relationships. This paper tries t...

Cinque (2002) examines those transparency effects that have been claimed to point to the existence of restructuring in French and concludes that quantifier and adverb climbing depend not on restructuring but, rather, on an irrealis context. In this paper, we show that restructuring does not play an active role in explaining the existence of en `of-it' and y `there' climbing or long movement in ...

Restructuring of specialized agricultural production systems is a widespread phenomenon in all developed economies. As such, fluecured tobacco production in southern Ontario is both typical in terms of its restructuring in response to capital intensification, but atypical in that restructuring has also occurred as a result of official pressures to reduce domestic cigarette consumption. This pap...

A high-level "access path" approach to database restructuring is described and contrasted with the "elementary operations" approach taken by mo~t restructuring systems. With the elementary operations approach, restructuring is viewed as a sequence of basic or "primitive" operations which manipulate a source database in order to convert it into a target database. In the access path approach, res...

We develop a theory of cyclical unemployment, which relates the processes of job creation and job destruction over the business cycle, to the processes of restructuring, innovation and implementation arising from a model of endogenous cyclical growth. Due to a moral hazard problem, production workers are paid efficiency wages and experience involuntary unemployment. The model captures two key c...

Sudden changes of structure are among the more startling phenomena of living systems . Until recently, they have not been much looked at or analyzed from the point of view of a general systems theory . Nevertheless, they may include such dramatic phenomena as falling in love, acts of creation, evolutionary jumps, social revolutions or reformations, and in general the sudden formation of larger ...
