This article presents a procedure for constructing a taxonomy of COTS products in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). The taxonomy and the obtained information reach transcendental benefits to the selection of sy...

Background: Clinical examinations increasingly consist of composite tests to assess all aspects of the curriculum recommended by the General Medical Council. Setting: A final undergraduate medical school examination for...

Augmented marked graphs possess a special structure for modelling common resources as well as some desirable properties pertaining to liveness, boundedness, reversibility and conservativeness. This paper investigates the...

"Reductions of fuel consumption and gas emissions count among the main advantages of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). It is well known that the level of hybridisation has a large influence on the fuel consumption, the m...

Current quality control patterns are limited to industrial application, for most the natural chemical reference substances are expensive and unavailable. Here in, quantitative analysis of multi-components with single mar...

This article describes an automatic method applicable to the segmentation of mediastinum Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) images with tumors, by means of Alternating Sequential Filters (ASFs) of Mathematical Morpholog...

Object-oriented software development has proven effective for systems development, but the creation of reusable and changeable software architectures is still a challenging task. Design patterns capture the expertise for...

In this thesis, a novel approach to automatically install threaded inserts into additive manufactured parts is developed and validated. Such an approach is highly relevant in the context of process automation and product...

A dichloromethane extract (DME) of the traditional Chinese medicine Chuanbeipipa dropping pill (CBPP) was obtained. The main bioactive components of the DME were identified and analysed by ultra-performance liquid chroma...

The problem of efficient signal communication at low data rates involves, in general, the encoding of the source for maximum data compression at the transmitter end, and the reconstruction using the received information ...

This thesis describes the design, implementation and evaluation of FPGA Architecture of a Digital ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) by using four components: data memory, weights memory, neuron module, and control unit. A...

We derive a new self-organizing learning algorithm that maximizes the information transferred in a network of nonlinear units. The algorithm does not assume any knowledge of the input distributions, and is defined here f...

We present here a framework for the study of molecular variation within a single species. Information on DNA haplotype divergence is incorporated into an analysis of variance format, derived from a matrix of squared-dist...

(NOTE: Each chapter begins with an Introduction, and concludes with Exercises and References.) I. GETTING STARTED. 1. Aspects of Multivariate Analysis. Applications of Multivariate Techniques. The Organization of Data. D...

One of the problems which has plagued those attempting to predict the behavior of capital markets is the absence of a body of positive microeconomic theory dealing with conditions of risk. Although many useful insights c...

W. Wilson's (1967) review of the area of subjective well-being (SWB) advanced several conclusions regarding those who report high levels of A number of his conclusions have been overturned: youth and modest aspirations n...

Organizational commitment has been conceptualized and measured in various ways. The two studies reported here were conducted to test aspects of a three‐component model of commitment which integrates these various conce...
