Currently, the dominant paradigms of programming user interfaces (UIs) regard the UI as a collection of objects with lifetimes, to be created, connected, constrained, made to handle events, and so forth. A simpler and older paradigm is that the UI is painted, repeatedly, as if on a blank window. Dynamic Dialogs(DD) are UIs programmed as if they were only painted, without regard to underlying UI...

Groups of 6 male rats were painted twice weekly with 1 ml of a 0.2% solution of an azo dye in acetone. The dyes used were aminoazobenzene, 4-monomethylaminoazobenzene, their 3methoxy analogs, and 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene. In each case, all rats developed multiple skin tumors of histologie types similar to those found in rats treated with other chemical classes of carcinogen. 3-Methoxy-4-monome...

Dendrochronological analysis was carried out for 13 historic icons from the collection of the Museum of the Folk Building in Sanok, painted on fir and spruce boards. Eleven sequences of the annual growth rings produced from the analysed fir boards were absolutely dated against the fir dendrochronological standard for S Poland, constructed by E. Szychowska-Krąpiec. Most of the analysed objects d...

The potential utility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a means to detect biological contaminants on painted surfaces is investigated. Issues involving the use of LIBS for detection of biologicals are discussed. The apparatus assembled for this work is described, as is the manner in which samples of bare copper and painted substrates onto which thin layers of bacterial spores, p...

the goal of this article is to study the shimashki potteries in the saymarreh valley. archaeological surveys conducted in the saymarreh valley shows that the painted pottery tradition of godin iii has become prevalent in the valley during the bronze age and only once, development of this pottery tradition had cracked. this event took place in the phase of godin iii4, which we relate it to the i...
