Decompilation is reconstruction of a program in a high-level language from a program in a low-level language. Possibility and feasibility of decompilation is a subject of controversy over last years. We present several arguments supporting the idea that in spite of impossibility of full automatic decompilation there exist methods and techniques that cover most of decompilation process for wide ...

This paper discusses the use of design patterns during the transition phase from analysis to design of object-oriented systems. Pattern mining, which is the process of finding and documenting design patterns, usually takes place during or after the development of a software system. This paper introduces several new design patterns that were discovered through the experience of teaching object-o...

We describe the implementation of asynchronous function calls and remote partial evaluated function calls in . Both constructs are high level constructs that hide low level programming details. In the talk we present examples and show results.

Class cohesion metrics apply different approaches to quantify the relatedness of the attributes and methods in a class. These relations can be direct or transitive. Method invocations are among the key sources of potential transitive attribute-method relations. That is, a method is not only related to the attributes that it references, but it may also be transitively related to the attributes r...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate and compare the analgesic effects of caudal epidural administration of lidocaine (LIDO), caudal laser radiation and epidural lidocaine plus laser radiation in horses. Study design: A blinded, randomized, prospective, experimental cross-over study. Animals: Five healthy horses, 15.7 +/- 4.9 years of age, weighing 240 +/- 37 kg. Methods: The...

in this paper, the performance of 11 different distances for image retrieval and classification, based on color, shape and texture, is evaluated. the precision-recall measure and the correct classification rate of the k-nn classifier are used to evaluate retrieval and classification performances, respectively. the experimental results for a database of 1000 images from 10 different semantic gro...

objective: sufficient intakes of docosahexaenoic acid (dha) via breast milk are required for optimizing visual and neural development at early stages of life. little or no information is available on dha intakes and levels found in breast milk in iranian women and surrounding regions. in this study we measure the dha in the breast milk of lactating iranian women from low and high – fish-eating ...
