The .NET Framework allows developers to add run-time services to their classes by specifying them in metadata. This metadata-driven service selection is a very powerful and promising mechanism, closely related to ideas developed in the Aspect-Oriented Programming community. Interestingly, the .NET framework supports both services implemented by weaving and services implemented by interception. ...

We optimize the human interception model performing fast visually guided tasks. Based on the original paper that raised the novel visuomotor framework, we implement and extend the vision model of a human catching a ball achieving a faster and more accurate result. As proposed in that paper, eye movements plays a central role in coordinating movements of the head, hand and body and each intercep...

Introduction. It was previously demonstrated that abnormal neuromuscular function can disturb the development of an optimal dentofacial pattern. Objectives. The role of the present study was to investigate the effect of myofunctional appliances in the interception of malocclusion. Material and method. The role of myofunctional trainers in the interception of malocclusion was evaluated. We prese...

Fully reflective systems have the notion of a control transfer from base-level code to meta-level code in order to change the behavior of the base-level system. There exist various opinions on how the programming model of a meta architecture has to look like. A common necessity of all models and systems is the need to intercept messages and operations, such as the creation of objects. We analyz...

The Eternal system is a CORBA 2.0-compliant system that enhances the CORBA standard with replication and thus fault tolerance. The novel interception approach implemented in the Eternal system involves capturing IIOPspecific system calls made by the ORB, and subsequently mapping these calls onto a reliable multicast group communication system. The motivation for the use of this approach is that...

In performing risk assessments for plant protection products by applicants or regulators in relation to the registration of the products, an important aspect to take into account is the foliar interception and retention of the active substance of the product on the plant. An overview is given of the approaches to this item in several parts of the world. The relevant circumstances and influencin...

BACKGROUND Accurately predicting the probability of a live birth after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is important for patients, healthcare providers and policy makers. Two prediction models (Templeton and IVFpredict) have been previously developed from UK data and are widely used internationally. The more recent of these, IVFpredict, was shown to have greater predictive power in the development ...

The population relaxation of the OD stretching vibration of HOD diluted in H(2)O is studied by time-resolved infrared pump-probe spectroscopy for temperatures between 278 and 663 K in the density range 0.281 OD stretching transition at low temperatures show a delay between excited state decay and formation of the therm...
