However, building multiple inheritance mechanism using current technology seems very difficult, simply because the number of possible alternative classifications increases exponentially with the number of concepts.
The original version of chemical abrasion (Mattinson 2005) was designed for determination of precise 206Pb 238U plateau ages of multi-grain zircon populations, free from inheritance, using multiple dissolution steps.
Python, C++, and many other languages allow multiple inheritance, while Scala uses 'traits', an interesting combination of interfaces, multiple inheritance, and abstracts.
ReXSpecies consists of a number of modules written in Perl extending the Web-Application base class using multiple inheritance.
Furthermore, single SNP analyses were performed using multiple inheritance models, namely, additive, dominant, and recessive models, similarly to an earlier study [ 15].
Conversely, a single inheritance channel may involve multiple inheritance systems, in the sense used by Jablonka and Lamb.
This is very significant because (1) they have been reported in large studies that included replication in independent samples [ 22, 23], and (2) our study is of sufficient power, we performed analyses for multiple inheritance and interaction models and we used the most powerful tests [ 15, 16].
Common use of multiple inheritance, with frequent subsumption errors (mostly error type 1).
We followed the current best practice in ontology development by not allowing multiple inheritance, providing definitions for all classes and relations, using top-level classes (Rosse and Mejino Jr. 2003; Smith et al., 2005; Soldatova and King 2005).
Multiple inheritance can be more easily spotted and understood using graphical models and, in many cases, it can be avoided by replacing one (or more) Is_a relation(s) by other types of relations, thus eliminating this problem.
