In the context of the REFLECT project[1] we have developed an aspect-oriented compilation and synthesis toolchain that aims at facilitating the mapping of applications described in high-level imperative programming languages, such as C, to heterogeneous and configurable computing systems. More specifically, we have designed an aspect-oriented domain-specific language, called LARA[2], that allow...

The murine mutant weaver (gene symbol, wv) mouse, which carries a mutation in the gene encoding the G-protein inwardly rectifying potassium channel Girk2, exhibits a diverse range of defects as a result of postnatal cell death in several different brain neuron subtypes. Loss of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons in the weaver, unlike cerebellar granule neuronal loss, is via a noncaspase-mediate...

The biological processes controlling human growth are diverse, complex and poorly understood. Genetic factors are important and human height has been shown to be a highly polygenic trait to which common and rare genetic variation contributes. Weaver syndrome is a human overgrowth condition characterised by tall stature, dysmorphic facial features, learning disability and variable additional fea...

This presentation is primarily a demonstration of a working statistical machine translation system which translates Modern Standard Arabic into English.

Electron microscopy of thin-sectioned and freeze-fractured preparations of the cerebellum of the weaver mouse indicates that the dendritic spines are morphologically identical to those of their normal littermates. The weaver dendritic spines have been characterized as "unattached" since the synaptic input from the parallel fibers is absent (8-10). The entire region around the dendritic spines i...

The control of language use has in its simplest form perhaps been most intensively studied using the color-word Stroop task. The authors review chronometric and neuroimaging evidence on Stroop task performance to evaluate two prominent, implemented models of control in naming and reading: GRAIN and WEAVER++. Computer simulations are reported, which reveal that WEAVER++ offers a more satisfactor...

The weaver (wv) mutation leads to loss of mesencephalic (DA) cells in the homozygous state. Behaviorally, weaver mutants display tremor, gait instability and toppling over to the sides after a few steps. Cell suspensions were prepared from the ventral mesencephalic flex-ure of El2 normal mouse embryos by mild en-zymatic digestion (collagenase/dispase) and implanted bilaterally into the striata ...

Weaver and Bryant (1995) proposed the optimum effort hypothesis, suggesting that undergraduate students were better able to predict comprehension when text materials matched their reading level (grade 12) as opposed to being too easy or too difficult (Weaver and Bryant did not assess the actual reading level of their participants). In the study, we examined the reading level and accuracy of per...

For more than two months beginning in late December of 2005, police officers in New York State continuously monitored the location and movements of Scott Weaver’s van using a surreptitiously attached global positioning system (“GPS”) device, known as a “Qball.” The reason Weaver was targeted for police surveillance has never been disclosed. In addition, law enforcement made no attempt to justif...

The JST language introduces an object synchronization aspect for the Java language. More precisely, JST provides developers with a way to deene synchronization classes for Java classes. JST implements a state-based, statechart-like, syntax for synchronization classes. The aspect weaver of JST takes advantage of the OpenJava reeective language.
