A diagram of the runtime structure shows objects and their relations and complements diagrams of the code structure. One such diagram, the Ownership Object Graph (OOG), is a global object graph that conveys architectural hierarchy based on annotations in the code. In this work, we ask the research question: do developers benefit from using OOGs, in addition to class diagrams, during their codin...

The biological activities of natural abietane acids and their derivatives have been reviewed from 1967 to 1992. Antimicrobial, antiulcer, and cardiovascular activities are the most representative for this class of diterpenoids, while others like allergenic, antiallergic, filmogenic, surfactant, antifeedant, etc. activities, which determine several uses of abietane acids, have also been reported.

this study investigated language learning styles of iranian efl learners and their class achievement. to this end, sixty female ad- vanced learners of instruction and different ages (15-30), studying at a language institute in shiraz were asked to take part in the study. a 30- item language learning styles questionnaire developed by reid (1987) was employed to elicit information for the study. ...

Class participation for students is such a common expectation of nurse educators that it is easy to overlook the need to tailor class participation activities to individual student needs. An understanding of the various temperaments of individuals, especially preferences related to extroversion and introversion, can help nurse educators to plan class participation experiences that foster skills...

This paper describes an approach of modeling workflows with UML class diagrams and OCL constraints [OCL06] in a declarative way. These are modeled in the UML tool USE [USE08] that can generate object diagrams (snapshots) out of UML class diagrams. USE checks specified OCL constraints against the generated snapshots. With the declarative workflow modeling approach presented here, activity model ...

Introduction: Recognizing what is happening in an environment has many potential applications, ranging from automatic surveillance systems to supporting users in ubiquitous environments. A key step to this end is to discover the kinds of similar activities that frequently occur in a particular domain. Equally important is the question of finding efficient characterizations for these different k...

National calls for teaching transformation build on a constructivist learning theory and propose that students learn by actively engaging in course activities and interacting with other students. While interactive pedagogies can improve learning, they also have the potential to challenge traditional norms regarding class participation and learning strategies. To better understand the potential ...

Accepting that learning is dialogic necessitates the development of teaching and learning activities that support a learning-conversation. Further, Blended Learning requires learning technologies to support the conventional teaching settings by constructing activities that enhance, rather than simply replace, the conventional teaching settings. Just-in-Time Teaching is one such strategy that ac...

This paper presents the design of a secured highinteraction honeypot. The challenge is to have a honeypot that welcomes attackers, allows userland malicious activities but prevents from system corruption. The honeypot must be scalable to authorize a large amount of malicious activities and to analyze those activities efficiently. The hardening of the honeypot is proposed for two kinds of host. ...

Our study performed upon an extended series of 28 compounds of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives that demonstrate substantial in vitro antimicrobial activities by serial plate dilution method, using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods that imply analysis of correlations and multiple linear regression (MLR); a significant collection of molecular descriptors was used e.g., Edge a...
