This study examined spouse abuse from the ecological perspective using the data from a national sample of 20,951 couples that took the ENRICH couple inventory. ENRICH assessed three ecological areas –contextual and socio-cultural factors; individual traits and behaviors; and couple interaction processes. Using the ENRICH couple typology, devitalized couples had the highest level of abuse while ...

In agile methods the user stories are widely used to describe requirements. However, the user stories are an artifact too narrow to represent and detail the requirements. Issues like software context and dependencies between stories are also limited with the use of only this artifact. The lack of documentation in agile development environment is identified as one of the main challenges of the m...

There is evidence that sleep enhances memory and learning. Childhood is a critical period for neurodevelopment, and minor but persistent disruption of sleep may have long-term implications for cognitive performance. Sleep is critical for health and is undervalued both in our 24 h society and in paediatric clinical practice. Paediatricians need to understand the neurodevelopmental consequences o...

This paper presents our approach to collaborative and semiautomated semantic structuring of folksonomies. Tags freely provided by users of online communities are not semantically linked, and this hinders significantly the potentials for browsing and exploring these data. We propose a sociotechnical system combining automatic handlings of tags, using state of the art algorithm, and user friendly...

SUMMARY Measuring the consequences of mutation in proteins is critical to understanding their function. These measurements are essential in such applications as protein engineering, drug development, protein design and genome sequence analysis. Recently, high-throughput sequencing has been coupled to assays of protein activity, enabling the analysis of large numbers of mutations in parallel. We...
