Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) are two disciplines of software engineering, which have been generating a great deal of interest in recent years. From the CBSE point of view, the building of applications becomes a process of assembling independent and reusable software modules called components. However, the necessary dependencies description am...

This paper presents an extension of the BIP component framework to hierarchical components by considering also port sets of atomic components to be structured (ports may be in conflict or ordered, where a larger port represents an interaction set with larger interactions). A composed component consisting of a set of components connected through BIP connectors and a set of ports representing a s...

We investigate when a rational endomorphism of the Riemann sphere C extends to a mapping of the upper half-space H3 which is rational with respect to some measurable conformal structure. Such an extension has the property that it and all its iterates have uniformly bounded distortion. Such maps are called uniformly quasiregular. We show that, in the space of rational mappings of degree d, such ...

In this paper, we study the existence of global conservative solutions to a two-component Novikov system. The system is an integrable multi-component extension equation. We develop method constructing Camassa–Holm equation due Bressan and Constantin case with genuine nonlinear interactions. Our approach based on formulation additional estimates relating new conservation laws

We describe a technique for the diagnosis of loosening of the femoral component of the Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement using accurately aligned lateral radiographs in extension and flexion. If gaps are present between the component and cement on one radiograph and not on the other, the component is loose.

In this paper, we propose an approach to scene text detection that leverages both the appearance and consensus of connected components. Component appearance is modeled with an SVM based dictionary classifier and the component consensus is represented with color and spatial layout features. Responses of the dictionary classifier are integrated with the consensus features into a discriminative mo...

Bespoke development of large business systems can be couched in terms of the composition of components, which are, put simply, chunks of development work. Design, mapping a specification to an implementation, can also be expressed in terms of components: a refinement comprising an abstract component, a concrete component and a mapping between them. Similarly, system extension is the composition...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled study, measuring head repositioning error (HRE) using an electrogoniometric device. OBJECTIVE To compare HRE in neutral position, axial rotation and complex postures of patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) to that of control subjects. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The presence of kinesthetic alterations in patients with WAD is controversial. METHODS In 26...

Verbs serve as the architectural centerpiece of sentences, making verb learning pivotal for language acquisition. Verb requires both formation a verb-action mapping and abstraction relations between an object its action. Two competing positions have been proposed to explain process learning: (a) seeing highly variable range exemplars allows children detect abstract commonalities across actions—...
