This pattern is part of a largely undeveloped section of the pattern language on application architectures that use messaging. These patterns are more finely-grained, and less generally applicable than the other patterns in this language, documented in [Woolf] and [Hohpe]. Other patterns in this section that have not yet been published include Logging to a Queue, where a logging infrastructure ...

Ten adult Brazilian Portuguese speakers were recorded producing the same words in contexts of relatively high and low semantic predictability. Significant vowel reduction in the former context was uncovered in the case of two of the three vowel types examined. The reduction of these vowels, /e/ and /a/, was both spectral and temporal. We describe some subtle parallels and differences between th...

Despite being a set of proven, well-documented, contextualized recommendations for solving frequently occurring user interface design problems, user interface design patterns are still not widely used. We believe this is due to the lack of tools to help designers find patterns and identify how they can be combined to solve user interface design problems. This paper proposes to classify and make...

We analyzed patterns of sand deposit distribution on the reef platform, and documented relationships between sand deposits and reef morphology. Sand deposit patterns, the surrounding morphology, and the environments they are located in are best understood using a combination of statisitics, GIS software, spatial analysis tools, and analyst interpretation. The work consisted of several steps inc...
