At each program point, points-to analysis for statically typed object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Java, C) determines those objects to which a reference may refer (or a pointer may point) during execution. Points-to analysis is necessary for any semantics-based software tools for object-oriented systems. Our new complexity results for points-to analysis distinguish the difficulty of i...

Adaptive coping and self-regulation are critical for students' academic and professional development. Mindfulness meditation and mindfulness based programs present a promising option for those wishing to reduce stress and anxiety levels, improve self-regulation and coping strategies and or reduce the need for substance use. This paper sought to review the literature concerning the relationship ...

Satellite radar interferometry (SRI) provides an important new tool for determining ice-flow velocity. Interferometric measurements made from a single-track direction are sensitive only to a single component of the three-component velocity vector. Observations from along three different track directions would allow the full velocity vector to be determined. A north/south-looking synthetic apert...

In this paper, we transform the age-old wisdom that societies change through generational replacement into a formalized model that allows for quantitative forecasts of such societal changes for decades into the future. Using the term “Demographic Metabolism” which was introduced by Norman Ryder 50 years ago, we show how the blend of this concept with the methods of multi-dimensional population ...

Several recent empirical studies have challenged the prevailing dogma that broadcast-spawning species exhibit little or no population genetic structure by documenting genetic discontinuities associated with large-scale oceanographic features. However, relatively few studies have explored patterns of genetic differentiation over fine spatial scales. Consequently, we used a hierarchical sampling ...

Our interest in tendon transplantation in leprosy was first aroused by the report of Brand (1952), and the possibility of using tibialis posterior as a dorsifiexor was further stimulated by the report ofWatkins, Jones, Ryder and Brown (1954), who had used this muscle in poliomyelitis by bringing it through the interosseous membrane. Since we began this series Brand (1956) has stated that he has...

Plants of the cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) strain ‘Chronic Ryder’, grown outdoors in Fraser Valley British Columbia (BC), displayed symptoms powdery mildew late July 2019. The disease progressed rapidly under cool, wet conditions to infect leaves, stems, shoot tips and inflorescences by early September. To identify pathogen, DNA was extracted from healthy diseased leaves subjected P...

The species-rank of Equus kiang was recently supported by molecular and genetic studies (RYDER & CHEMNICK 1990). Three subspecies are currently recognized in this species: eastern E. k. holdereri, southern E. k. polyodon and western E. k. kiang, differing in some cranial and external features (GROVES & MAZAK 1967). Kiang populations are scarce and widely separated at present; which was a reason...

Survey information on fertility intentions, patterns of contraceptive use, contraceptive failures and abortions is used to develop estimates of unwanted births and of unplanned pregnancies for seven countries, by method of contraception. Potential improvements in contraception, leading to more use of highly efficient methods are considered, and several scenarios for improved contraceptive use a...
