In this paper, we claim that a specialized aspect module is not required. Instead, we propose an expressive aspect-oriented composition mechanism which can be applied upon existing modules. At the design level, the CoCompose modeling framework is introduced which is based on Model Driven Development. CoCompose allows step-wise refinement from a high-level design to the lowest level design or co...

Comets have been often considered as potential sources of meteorites [e.g., 1], but there are no meteorites currently believed to have come from comets. Recent developments, including the identification of comet-asteroid transition objects, new information on the collisional history of Jupiter-Family comets, and on the composition of cometary solids, provide new insights into the topic of comet...

The Zeldovich hypothesis is revised and the meaning of quasi energy spectra is discussed. The observation of Floquet resonance for microobjects in quickly oscillating external fields might bring a new information about the time scale of hypothetical quantum jumps.

The central claim in that work was that adjective meanings should be analyzed as functions from properti...

Anxiety comprises many clinical descriptions and phenotypes. A genetic predisposition to anxiety is undoubted; however, the nature and extent of that contribution is still unclear. Methods for the genetic analysis of such complex disorders is briefly reviewed, followed by a discussion of the comorbidity of anxiety with other psychiatric disorders and their possible common genetic etiology. Exte...

Changes in laws are reflected – even foreshadowed on occasion – by the field’s scholarship. In the 1980s, there were few who recognized that adults with disabilities were an important resource in the education of students with disabilities or that issues of race and culture had consequence for identifying and delivering services to these children.

There is little understanding of how distributed writing groups manage their collaboration and what kinds of support are most useful. The paper presents three case studies of distributed collaborative writing groups in academia. The process evolves over time, constantly adapting to changing circumstances. Co-authors offer and make use of a range of information. Their subsequent opportunistic us...
