Can design patterns be turned into reusable components using some advanced programming language mechanisms? We reviewed all patterns described in the book by Gamma et al. [Gamma 1995] and built a new classification of these patterns by level of “componentizability” (possibility to turn the pattern into a component). This article first describes our “componentization” approach and the pattern cl...

This is a useful and compact little work, giving in small compass a complete description of the use and action of all drugs and preparations of the pharmacopoeias of Great Britain and America and of some foreign countries. Many " pharmacological disappointments" have wisely been omitted, and so whole subject-matter is arranged alphabetically. The dosage is given in the English as well as in the...

In his celebrated book, The Meanings of Macho (1992), anthropologist Matthew C. Gutmann explores the changing character of masculinity in Mexico City. Buffeted by economic crisis in the late 1980s, middleclass men and women increasingly had to pool personal incomes to support families. Unable to sustain long-held patriarchal expectations, men made virtue out of necessity. “Women are becoming in...

IN recent years there has been rapid progress in the understanding of Hodgkin's disease and improvements in its treatment so that many patients can now be cured. This has not yet been reflected in the attitude of doctors who too often regard the disease with unjustified pessimism and too frequently give treatment which is merely palliative. This book is by one of the pioneers of the present day...

This sumptuous little manual fills a long-felt want. It is not written to exploit some special cult or system; neither does it attempt to deal with such conditions as scoliosis and ankylosis, where exercises should be carried out under skilled and trained supervision. On the other hand, it is essentially a book for the general practitioner, and above all, one that he can put into the hands of h...

someone embarked on the task of translating them but never finished the job. Both space and clarity would have been well served by simply giving them all in English, or at least by maintaining consistency throughout. These comparatively minor complaints do not detract from the overall appeal of the book, a rich and enjoyable compendium which will rapidly justify its place on the shelves of anyo...

This article demonstrates the practical applications of metaphors in diagnosing problems and developing new theories in organizational development. Metaphors are defined as imagery tools that provide insight to complex issues, thus advancing the study of organizational change. They are liberating in orientation and provide fresh perspectives to both new and existing phenomenon. Metaphors benefi...

In the last lecture, we saw an example of reputation analysis in repeated interaction (a sequential entry game) with one long-lived player and many short-lived players, where the short-lived players are unsure of the long-lived player’s type. In this lecture, we generalize that analysis by giving an overview of the key results on reputation in repeated games with one long-lived player and many ...

We are much indebted to Dr. Sim Wallace for giving us a book from his able contributions which have appeared from time to time in the Journal of the British Dental Association on " The Etiology of Dental Caries." The headings of the chapters are sufficient to show how carefully and exhaustively he has gone into the subject, and it is not too much to say that it is a work that ought to be in the...
