Previous studies of cortisol concentrations in hair have concluded that it is not possible to measure more than 6 months retrospectively. This study shows for the first time analyze month-by-month a retrospective period 24 months. In addition, we determined whether concentration decreases with time. The population was 48 women age range 20–51 years, all length cm or longer. participants complet...

There is a recent interest in integrating the serviceand aspect-oriented software development paradigms. However, most of the approaches proposed thus far rely on a non-service based aspect model that severely restricts the language choices either for implementing the service-oriented applications, the aspects, or both. This paper presents a unified development model for serviceand aspect-orien...

Reflection on design processes performed by designers is called design reflection. In our view, this kind of reflection aims at answering essential questions like “Is my design answering the stakeholder concerns?”, “Am I solving the essential problems or am I wasting time on irrelevant aspects?”, “Does the result feel satisfactory or are further iterations necessary?”, “Does my design obey the ...

Behavior setting theory was developed by Roger Barker to explain small-scale social systems, as well as the study of behavior in its natural environment. It is somewhat unusual in being both a big-T theory (its abstract superstructure) and a grounded theory (its research guiding part). Among its advantages are conceptual integrity and well defined terminology, readily available empirical confir...

Citation context analysis is used to demonstrate the diversity of concept symbols that a book-length publication can represent and the diffusion of influence of these concepts over time and across scholarly disciplines. A content analysis of 574 citation contexts from 497 journal articles citing an edition of Frederick P. Brooks, Jr’s The Mythical Man-Month (MMM) over the period 1975–1999 showe...

The contribution of this work is the design, implementation and evaluation of a new aspect-oriented invocation mechanism for preserving design modularity in object code. We call our mechanism Bind. We make three basic claims. First, it is feasible to realize a programming model that supports Bind to preserve design modularity in object code. Second, the new invocation mechanism further improves...
