The analysis of formation processes (e.g., degree surface alterations, size ranges, orientation patterns, fabric features, density, spatial etc.) in archaeological sites provide relevant information about the type and intensity sedimentary disturbances. This is particularly important Palaeolithic sites, especially when stratigraphic context suggests certain study follows a multivariate approach...

BACKGROUND To analyze patterns of failure in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treated with limited-margin radiation therapy and concurrent temozolomide. We hypothesize that patients treated with margins in accordance with Adult Brain Tumor Consortium guidelines (ABTC) will demonstrate patterns of failure consistent with previous series of patients treated with 2-3 cm margins. METHO...

Extensibility and maintainability of software becomes more an issue as the complexity of the software development process rises. Design patterns in the sense of [3] aid in reducing the problem of architectural decay. However, new publications steadily increase the number of documented patterns. This makes the automated and toolsupported processing of design patterns more important as well as su...

We present a new approach to a componentware development methodology based on a system of process patterns. We argue that organizing the development process by means of a pattern system results in higher flexibility compared to traditional ways of defining development processes. This is especially important in the context of componentware. Finally, we propose a pattern catalog with a selection ...

Patterns have been employed as a mechanism for reuse in several phases of software development. Analysis patterns consist of artifacts for reuse during the requirements analysis and conceptual modeling. However, they are generally, documented in a textual manner which is not precise to be treated by a computer, thus limiting the dissemination and a wider reuse. Within the geo-processing area, S...

this project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in english as a foreign language by iranian speakers. results of translation and picture judgment task show although l2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in english, they were constrained by the m...
