Web services related technologies (especially web services compositions) play now a key role in e-Business and its future. Languages to compose web services, such as the OASIS WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, open a vast new field for programming in the large. But they also present a challenge for traditional white-box testing, due to the inclusion of specific instructions for concurrency, fault compensat...

In this paper we extend the recently proposed DCT-mod2 feature extraction technique (which utilizes polynomial coefficients derived from 2D DCT coefficients obtained from horizontally & vertically neighbouring blocks) via the use of various windows and diagonally neighbouring blocks. We also propose enhanced PCA, where traditional PCA feature extraction is combined with DCT-mod2. Results using ...

The relationship between various measures of the expression and experience of anger (and anxiety), traditional risk factors and blood pressure were examined in a sample of black and white female adolescents who were enrolled in health science courses in Tampa, Florida. Whereas a number of the personality and traditional risk factors were significantly correlated with blood pressure, body mass (...

Recent identification of active brown fat reserves in adult humans has re-stimulated interest in the role of brown adipocytes in energy homeostasis. In addition, there is accumulating evidence to support the concept of an alteration in energy balance through acquisition of brown fat features in traditional white fat depots. We recently described an important role played by the TGF-β/Smad3 signa...
