The transperineal ultrasound (TPU) value of the angle of progression (AOP) during fetal head engagement, at station 0, is a critical cut-off for current obstetrical practice, especially when intrapartum instrumental interventions are required. Still, controversial measurements were reported in previous high resolution imagistic studies. Our TPU and direct "gold-standard" magnetic resonance (MRI...

Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is one of the newest approaches for managing complexity by further modularizing code for large software systems. Software code continues to grow in size as well as complexity [1]. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is meant to improve modularity, and reduce complexity by separation of concerns in code. AOP is designed to work with programming languages...

The need for comparison between AOP and related approaches has been retained as a key issue in [MLTK97]. We have noticed strong similarities between AOP and some object-oriented approaches including some notion of viewpoint. We report them in this paper and we discuss how this brief comparison may be used for further discussion of the other key issues that were retained in [MLTK97].

Abstract Ultraviolet-activated permanganate (UV/PM) process is a novel advanced oxidation (AOP), but its application potential remains to be evaluated. This work investigates the degradation of refractory organic pollutant by UV/PM in terms efficiency, mechanism, and influencing factors. The target compound benzoic acid (BA), which micro-organic resistant PM UV treatment, can efficiently degrad...

Analytically oriented psychotherapy (AOP) has been considered the treatment of choice for borderline patients and a useful technique in the treatment of schizotypal patients. There are many exceptions, however, in addition to a number of borderline and schizotypal patients who are just barely amenable to this modality: they are at the border of treatability by AOP. Limitations relating to time,...

The goal of the paper is to present that Aspect Oriented Programming AspectJ integrated with Spring AOP provides very powerful mechanisms for modularizing enterprise security cross-cutting concerns. Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) allows weaving a security aspect into an application providing additional security functionality or introducing completely new security mechanisms.Spring’s proxy-ba...

In the 60s and 70s the software engineering offensive emerged from long-standing problems in software development, which are captured by the term software crisis. Though there has been significant progress since then, the current situation is far from satisfactory. According to the recent report of the Standish Group, still only 34% of all software projects succeed. Since the early days, two fu...

Ongoing honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses are of significant international concern because of the essential role these insects play in pollinating crops. Both chemical and non-chemical stressors have been implicated as possible contributors to colony failure; however, the potential role(s) of commonly-used neonicotinoid insecticides has emerged as particularly concerning. Neonicotinoids ...

Caching dynamic web content is an appealing approach to reduce Internet latency and server load. In aspect-oriented programming, caching is usually presented as an orthogonal aspect that could be automatically integrated to an application. A classical AOP motivating example is adding caching of static data with no underlying consistency. But what about caching dynamic data? In this paper, we ex...
