In agile methodologies communication between programmers is very important. Some of them (e.g. XP or Crystal Clear) recommend pair programming. There are two styles of pair programming: XP-like and side-byside (the latter comes from Crystal Clear). In the paper an experiment is described that aimed at comparison of those two styles. The subjects were 25 students of Computer Science of 4 and 5 y...

introduction: patients referred to as having thalassemia major are usually those who come to medical attention in the first year of life and subsequently require regular transfusions to survive. those who present later or who seldom need transfusions are said to have thalassemia intermediahydroxyurea, an s-phase-specific and non-dna-hypomethylating chemotherapeutic agents is capable of inducing...

background: methotrexate has an important role in treatment of acute leukemia. we measured methotrexate level in csf and blood of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to determine complications and outcomes. materials and methods: one hundred and twenty patients (73 male, 47 female), with mean age at diagnosis of 6.1 years (11mo_15years) entered the study. patients were divided into two g...

PURPOSE To study the results of arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears using a side-to-side suture technique without fixation to bone. TYPE OF STUDY Case series study of the long-term results of patients who underwent purely arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a side-to-side suturing technique. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent arthro...

We experimentally evaluate program transformations for removing timing side-channel vulnerabilities wrt. security and overhead. Our study of four well-known transformations confirms that their performance overhead differs substantially. A novelty of our work is the empirical investigation of channel bandwidths, which clarifies that the transformations also differ wrt. how much security they add...

Interpersonal coordination represents a very common phenomenon in daily-life activities. Three theoretical frameworks have been proposed to account for synchronization processes in such situations: the information processing approach, the coordination dynamics perspective, and the complexity matching effect. On the basis of a theoretical analysis of these frameworks, we propose three statistica...
