is not assumed. Actually, if (3') holds, much more is known. In fact, in this case, there exist asymptotic formulas for the solutions of (1) whenX>0 ([8, p. 421]; cf. also [7, p. 258], in case/(<)—>0 as 2->oo) which guarantee, in particular, that 0^X<oo is in the continuous spectrum for every boundary value problem determined by (1) and (2). Obviously, the requirement (3) is compatible with T~i...

As the complexity of hardware (HW) and embedded system design is constantly increasing, the researchers are seeking to develop new more abstract and productive design methods or adapt the existing ones from other domains such as software design. This paper addresses the problem of using the object-oriented (OO) design techniques in HW domain. The main OO design techniques are as follows: abstra...

Sub-epithelial defects (i.e., discontinuities) of the superior orbicularis oris (OO) muscle appear to be a part of the phenotypic spectrum of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± P). Analysis of the OO phenotype as a clinical tool is hypothesized to improve familial recurrence risk estimates of CL ± P. Study subjects (n = 3,912) were drawn from 835 families. Occurrences of CL ± P were c...

The cognitive activities performed by systems designers during systems development include problem understanding, problem decomposition and solution speci"cation. One aspect of object-oriented (OO) approaches to system design that appeals to many adopting organizations is the purported naturalness, i.e. the consistency of OO approaches with these cognitive activities of problem solving. Essenti...

Methyl, methyl-d(3), and ethyl hydroperoxide anions (CH(3)OO(-), CD(3)OO(-), and CH(3)CH(2)OO(-)) have been prepared by deprotonation of their respective hydroperoxides in a stream of helium buffer gas. Photodetachment with 364 nm (3.408 eV) radiation was used to measure the adiabatic electron affinities: EA[CH(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.161 +/- 0.005 eV, EA[CD(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.154 +/- 0.004 eV, an...

We use Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of representations of the symmetric group to express Pfaffians with entries (ai−aj)hi+j . In the case where the parameters ai are specialized to successive powers of q, and the hi are complete functions, we obtain the q-discriminant. 1 ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ...

The current momentum for object oriented (OO) development in industry makes OO techniques worthy of attention. Information systems researchers and practitioners are increasingly using constructs such as use cases and class diagrams to define system requirements. A glaring weakness in the literature is the lack of useful guidelines and strategies for taking a relatively high level OO requirement...

When teaching object oriented programming, educators rely heavily on textbook examples. However, research shows that such examples are often of insufficient quality regarding their object-oriented characteristics. In this paper, we present a number of guidelines for designing or improving object oriented example programs for novices. Using actual textbook examples, we show how the guidelines ca...
