Software process model evolution in the SPADE environment
No full textSoftware processes are long-lived entities. Careful design and thorough validation of software process models are necessary to ensure the quality of the process. They do not prevent, however, process models from undergoing change. Change requests may occur in the context of reuse, i.e., statically, in order to support software process model customization. They can also occur dynamically, while software process models are being executed, in order to support timely reaction as data are gathered from the field during process enactment. In this paper, we discuss the mechanisms a process language should possess in order to support changes. We illustrate the solution adopted in the context of the SPADE environment and discuss how the proposed mechanisms can be used to model different policies for chanmnp a software nrncess model.Manuscript received November 1, 1992; revised August 1, 1993.

Laocoön
No full textMarble sculptural group that represents an episode recounted in Virgil’s Aeneid (II.199–231), in which a sea monster attacks the Trojan priest Laokoon and his two young sons in front of the walls of Troy. The date and provenance of the work (Rome, Vatican, Cortile Belvedere; h. 2.42 m; see Rome, ancient, fig. 59) is disputed. Its identification with the Laokoon by the Rhodian sculptors Hagesandros, polydoros and athenodoros, said by Pliny (Natural History XXXVI.iv.37) to have adorned the Palace of Titus at Rome, has been questioned because Pliny claimed that the latter was made from a single block of marble, while the extant group is made from several. However, stylistic resemblances between the surviving group and the sculptures in the grotto at Sperlonga actually signed by Hagesandros, Polydoros and Athenodoros (see Sperlonga, §2) have caused many scholars to accept it as the Laokoon mentioned by Pliny. They regard it as a work of the 1st century ad in the stylistic tradition of the sculptures of Hellenistic Pergamon (see Pergamon, §3), but perhaps also inspired by statues on Rhodes (see Rhodes, §3(ii)). The sculpture was discovered on 14 January 1506 in a vineyard not far from the basilica of S Maria Maggiore in Rome, and was placed in a niche in the Cortile del Belvedere in the Vatican. In 1797 it was moved to Paris, and later put on display in the Musée Central des Arts until 1815; the following year it was returned to its original setting in the Vatican. When the group was found it lacked the right arm of Laokoon and the right hands of his sons, but during the 1530s Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli replaced the arm in terracotta, although its position is not certain. In a copy of the group by the sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (c. 1520–22; Florence, Uffizi) the arm is bent, as it probably was in antiquity. A terracotta arm extending upwards, perhaps not the one by Montorsoli, remained on the sculpture from the second half of the 16th century until it was moved to Paris. For centuries the Laokoon enjoyed enormous fame, equal to that of the Apollo Belvedere (Rome, Vatican, Mus. Pio-Clementino). It was not only copied by artists from the earliest days of its discovery, but also profoundly influenced the anatomy, poses and mood of their work.general view, above: restoration by Bandinelli below: drawing by F. de Holland

Proposal of a framework for the evaluation and comparison of production schedules
No full textProduction Planning and Control (PP&C) has been increasingly becoming a critical activity, since competition in the markets is leveraging on a multitude of factors ranging from product quality, to delivery times and pre-sales and after-sales services. Among PP&C activities, scheduling decisions are the final temporal decision-making phase where plant and supply chain managers have to act for fixing any short noticed variations and maintaining satisfying overall production system performances, "assigning scarce resources to competing activities over a given time horizon to obtain the best possible system performance". in particular, lot of work has been done in the past (and is currently on-going) on Performance Measurement for manufacturing systems at a strategic level. However, at a more operative scheduling level, a comprehensive approach seems to be still missing. in order to provide an answer to this main issue, the paper illustrates the main distinctive features of the PMS-ESS, a performance measurement system for the evaluation of production scheduling systems, and its application in a test case.

Occurrence of a Rabl-like telomere clustering in the holocentric chromosome of the peach potato aphid Myzus persicae (Hemiptera; Aphididae).
No full textSeveral studies demonstrated that chromosome anchoring to nuclear structures is involved in the organization of the interphase nucleus. The Rabl configuration, a well-studied chromosome organization in the interphase nucleus, has been deeply studied in organisms with monocentric chromosomes but just slightly touched in species with holocentric chromosomes. In the present paper, by means of the isolation and chromosomal mapping of the C0t DNA fraction and chromatin immunoprecipitation with anti-LEM-2 antibodies, we evidenced the presence of few foci where telomeres and subtelomeric regions cluster in the aphid interphase nuclei, suggesting the occurrence of a Rabl-like chromosome configuration. The same experimental approaches also evidenced that most of the repetitive DNA of the 2 X chromosomes is located at the periphery of the nucleus, whereas the ribosomal genes, located at 1 telomere of each X chromosome, are present towards the inner portion of the nucleus, favoring their transcriptional activity
