Continuity and discontinuity of behavioral inhibition and exuberance: Psychophysiological and behavioral influences across the first four years of life.
- Child Development,
, 2001
"... Abstract: Four-month-old infants were screened (N = 433) for temperamental patterns thought to predict behavioral inhibition, including motor reactivity and the expression of negative affect. Those selected (N = 153) were assessed at multiple age points across the first 4 years of life for behavior ..."

in the study of the continuity of inhibition is the characterization of its form across development. In his Handbook chapter, Caspi (1998) describes five different types of continuity of personality to be considered in the study of developmental change. Four of these (differential, absolute, structural
Indicators for Social and Economic Coping Capacity - Moving Toward a Working Definition of Adaptive Capacity”, Wesleyan-CMU Working Paper.

Techniques and processes for improving the quality and performance of open-source software
- Software Process: Improvement and Practice
, 2006
"... Open-source development processes have emerged as an effective approach to reduce cycle-time and decrease design, implementation, and quality assurance costs for certain types of software, particularly systems infrastructure software, such as operating systems, compilers and language processing tool ..."

these challenges better than traditional closed-source processes do. Second, we summarize results of empirical studies that evaluate how our distributed continuous quality assurance (DCQA) techniques and processes help to resolve key challenges of developing and validating open-source software. Our results show
Problems and solutions: Maintaining an integrated system in a community of volunteers
, 2009
"... Motivation. Software maintenance is a significant part of the software life-cycle cost. Current research focuses on the maintenance of application software. Despite increased focus on systems integration, there is limited research on maintaining integrated systems. Before progressing with informing ..."

integrators. The research combines field studies with document analysis, asking: RQ1: How is knowledge of software failures developed during geographically distributed software maintenance? RQ2: How do software developers build knowledge of how to replace a businesscritical software system? RQ3: What
Static and completion analysis for planning knowledge base development and verification
- Third International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Planning Systems
, 1996
"... chien @ aig.jpl.nasa.gov A key obstacle hampering fielding of AI planning applications is the considerable expense of developing, verifying, updating, and maintaining the planning knowledge base (KB). Planning systems must be able to compare favorably in terms of software lifecycle costs to other me ..."

Dumb money: Mutual fund flows and the cross section of stock returns,
- Journal of Financial Economics,
, 2008
"... We thank Nicholas Barberis and Judith Chevalier for helpful comments. We thank Breno Schmidt for research assistance. ABSTRACT We use mutual fund flows as a measure for individual investor sentiment for different stocks, and find that high sentiment predicts low future returns. Fund flows are dumb ..."

An exploratory study of the impact of code smells on software change-proneness,”
- in Proceedings of the 16th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE), G. Antoniol
, 2009
"... Abstract Context and Problem In theory, code smells [12] are poor implementation choices, opposite to idioms [8] and, to some extent, to design patterns [13]. They are "poor" solutions to recurring implementation problems. In practice, code smells are inbetween design and implementation ..."

Supporting this analysis is the focus of this paper. Business processes are typically described with static (diagrammatic
Comparative Stability of Cloned and Non-cloned Code: An Empirical Study
