Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) offers means to automatically transform some existing base code to endow it with new properties. An aspect language allows the desired transformation to be specified and an aspect weaver reads the specification of the transformation expressed in the aspect language and applies it to the base code. AOP techniques allow systematic changes – insertion of synchroni...

As someone who has worked on studies of media agenda setting since the 1972 U.S. presidential election (Weaver, 1977; Weaver, McCombs, & Spellman, 1975), I am more familiar with the theoretical debates and empirical findings of this branch of media research than with theories and research focusing on framing or priming. Nevertheless, I see these areas of communication research as interconnected...

Blood glucose plays an essential role in the body's energy metabolism; however, sources of variation baseline and stress-induced changes concentration remain poorly understood tropical passerines. This study assesses intra-annual two common free-living Afrotropical passerines, village weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) (Müller, 1776) black-crowned waxbill (Estrilda nonnula) (Hartlaub, 1883), captured ...

Introduction. Treatment of Rockwood Type 3 Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is controversial. We compared the long-term functional outcome of early repair of coracoclavicular ligament and internal fixation (Tension Band Wiring) with delayed reconstruction by modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for Type 3 dislocations. Method. Retrospective analysis of case records and telephone review to assess t...

Literate programming is becoming increasingly trendy for data analysis because it allows generating dynamic analysis reports for communicating the data analysis and eliminates the chance of untraceable human errors in analysis reports. Traditionally, literate programming includes two separate processes for compiling the code and preparing the documentation. In this article I argue that while th...

Group living is a life history strategy employed by many organisms. This strategy is often difficult to study because the exact boundaries of a group can be unclear. Weaverbirds present an ideal model for the study of group living, because their colonies occupy a space with discrete boundaries: a single tree. We examined one aspect of group living. nest placement, in three Kenyan weaverbird spe...

Redescription of Central Asian orb-weaver Araneus strandiellus Charitonov, 1951, only known from the original description of female. The male of this species, previously unknown, is described here for the first time.
