In invertebrates, as well as in vertebrates, there are innate behavior programs and corresponding innate recognition systems for behaviorally important signals (key-stimuli). Animals have evolved different ways of dealing with environmental conditions. As a generalization, "hardwired" systems may work ...
Behavioral patterns are concerned with the assignment of responsibilities between objects, or, encapsulating behavior in an object and delegating requests to it. Chain of responsibility, Command, Mediator, and Observer, address how you can decouple senders and receivers, but with different trade-offs....
Instance-specific data is stored in the typed object instance, and data or behavior that should be shared across all instances of the same conceptual type is stored in the type object. Objects referencing the same type object will function as if they were the same type. This lets us share ...
This is the most complex pattern in this book, and it’s not something to throw into your game lightly. Use it when you have a lot of behavior you need to define and your game’s implementation language isn’t a good fit because: ...
Patterns of Cross Cultural Business Behavior are about interpreting human behavior, that varies from culture to culture. But that shouldn’t be an obstacle for trade and/or doing business with each other. By getting to know each other’s culture and letting go of stereotypes, organisations are ...
The desired behavior might lead you to two different classes like the ones shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Handling Units of Measure and Quantity C# Copy // UnitOfMeasure is a strongly typed enumeration that "knows" about, // and can answer questions about a logical Unit of Measure public ...
This seemingly minor change in behavior took me days instead of the hours I assumed up front because of how many times I had duplicated this little bit of data. The lesson learned here is that any rule in your system, no matter how seemingly trivial, should be expressed once, and only ...
identify suspicious individuals. Let’s look at two representative examples. In the example shown inFig. 4, the curves of ordinary people rise at a certain rate until they pass through. In the example shown inFig. 5, meanwhile, when people stand still, the curves of their behavior patterns...
At the beginning of this analysis, all sentences that described self-management were identified and allocated into categories of different types of self-management behavior. Examples of the categories include: symptom management, navigating the health-care system, stress management, and adaptation of ...
