Is it possible to achieve some of the benefits of formal testing within the informal programming conventions of the spreadsheet paradigm? We investigate an approach that attempts to do so via the development of a testing methodology for this paradigm. The "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology...
This paper reports on an empirical study involving end users that addresses the question of whether it is possible to provide the benefits of formal testing within the informal spreadsheet paradigm. We have developed a "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology that brings the benefits of formal...
Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create
variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal
communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach
their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper
levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans
also utilize...
The purpose of this study was to compare Far Eastern
influences on Western women's dress as represented in both
a high fashion and mass fashion magazine between 1910 and
1925. Vogue was selected as the high fashion magazine and
Ladies Home Journal as the mass fashion magazine. The
questions that...
Airborne mineral dust can influence the climate by altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere, but the magnitude of the effect is uncertain. An idealized global model is developed to study the dust-climate system. The model determines the dust longwave and shortwave direct radiative forcing, as well as the resulting...
An idealized global climate model is used to explore the response of the climate to a
wide range of dust radiative properties and dust layer heights. The top-of-the-atmosphere
(TOA) shortwave forcing becomes more negative as the broadband shortwave single
scattering albedo increases and the broadband shortwave asymmetry parameter decreases,
but...
Birds both promote and prosper from forest restoration. The ecosystem functions birds perform can increase the pace of
forest regeneration and, correspondingly, increase the available habitat for birds and other forest-dependent species. The
aim of this study was to learn how tropical forest restoration treatments interact with landscape tree cover...
