A process management tool supporting component-based process development and hierarchical management mechanism

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

How to develop the software process models that satisfy the organization's standards and the characteristics of software projects, and improve it continuously, is difficulty for software organizations. A process management tool named JBPM (Jade Bird Process Management) proposes a good solution for this issue. JBPM supports component based process development and hierarchical management mechanism which is illuminated by CMM. In order to provide a unified framework for all processes in different projects across the organization, JBPM employs the software lifecycle process framework in ISO/IEC std. 12207 and IEEE std. 1517. and use it as a general requirement specification for those processes.

Sleep and Stroke

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Circadian variations in conjunction with sleep-related heart rhythm changes and sleep
disordered breathing (SDB) are contributing risk factors for stroke. Strong scientific
evidence now exists indicating that SDB contributes to systemic hypertension, a
prominent risk factor for stroke, and compelling circumstantial evidence is present
suggesting that SDB raises the risk for development of stroke through other circulatory
mechanisms as well. Preliminary evidence indicates that post-stroke patients have a
higher prevalence of SDB, which is likely to compromise their rehabilitation outcomes.
Since SDB is modifiable with the application of CPAP and other treatment modalities,
there is practical value in investigating patients at risk of stroke or post stroke for
presence of SDB. Successful application of CPAP or BiPAP therapy may improve the
outcome in both instances.

Analysis of attitudes of honey consumers in the municipality of Novi Grad (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Beekeeping is one of the important branches of animal husbandry, and it is also important in the municipality of Novi Grad in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BaH).Honey producers should be interested in what consumers think of honey and which factors are crucial for their commitment to purchase honey.Therefore, there has been a study of honey consumer attitudes conducted by a survey of 100 randomly selected consumers.The subject of the survey was to determine the consumers' attitudes regarding the amount of honey they consume, honey types, prices, quality, purchasing and other characteristics.Systematization of data from surveys and their statistical processing led to the result that more than a half of consumers consume honey every week, with a high average consumption of 1.33 kg per month.Women consume honey more often than men, older people more frequently than younger ones.The largest number of consumers purchase honey directly from beekeepers.The commitment of consumer's choice to buy honey is greatly influenced by the quality of honey, and it is followed by the price.These and other attitudes of consumers of honey are compared with the attitudes of consumers of similar studies in other countries and it was found that there is sometimes a greater or lesser coincidence among them, and sometimes there are significant differences.Honey producers, taking into account the views and preferences of consumers, should focus their future marketing activities for better promotion of their products and look ahead trying to establish direct contacts with consumers.
An ontology-based expert system for database design

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Although it is possible to encode a great deal of process knowledge about database design into a system, experience has shown that the contribution of a human designer extends beyond his or her knowledge of database design techniques. The next step in the evolution of automated database design tools is to incorporate knowledge and reasoning capabilities to support this higher level of participation. Doing so requires some understanding of what different terms mean. This paper presents an ontology that can be used as a surrogate for the meaning of words in a database design system to simulate the contributions that a designer would make based on his or her general knowledge. The ontology classifies a term into one or more categories such as person, abstract good or tradable document. It is comprised of a semantic network, a knowledge base containing information on the meaning of terms that have been classified, an expert system knowledge-acquisition component, and a distance measure for assessing the distance between the meanings of terms. The ontology was tested by different types of users on a variety of problems and was shown to be quite effective.
Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Polymetallic Nodules of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, NE Pacific

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The aim of this master's thesis was the mineralogical and geochemical study of polymetallic nodule samples from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The samples were analyzed using a range of analytical methods. The mineralogical composition was determined through the XRD analysis, while their geochemical composition was assessed using the XRF and ICP-MS techniques, providing information on the concentrations of major elements and trace elements, including rare earth elements. SEM analysis made the study of the nodules’ microstructures and the composition of the individual layers of the nodules possible, through high-resolution imaging. Additionally, the micro-XRF technique provided elemental maps that revealed the internal elemental distribution within the samples. The combined results of these analyses led to valuable conclusions regarding the formation process of the nodules, as well as the prevailing geochemical conditions during their development. It was concluded that the nodules are of mixed origin, having formed through a combination of hydrogenetic and diagenetic processes. Furthermore, the geochemical conditions during their formation ranged from oxic to suboxic.
Global prevalence of putative haemochromatosis mutations.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Haemochromatosis is a genetic disease associated with progressive iron overload, and is common among populations of northern European origin. HLA-H is a recently reported candidate gene for this condition. Two mutations have been identified, a substitution of cysteine for tyrosine at amino acid 282 (C282Y, nucleotide 845) and of histidine for aspartate at amino acid 63 (H63D, nucleotide 187). Over 90% of UK haemochromatosis patients are homozygous for the C282Y mutation. We have examined 5956 chromosomes (2978 people) for the presence of HLA-H C282Y and H63D by PCR followed by restriction enzyme analysis. We have found world wide allele frequencies of 1.9% for C282Y and 8.1% for H63D. The highest frequencies were 10% for C282Y in 90 Irish chromosomes and 30.4% for H63D in 56 Basque chromosomes. C282Y was most frequent in northern European populations and absent from 1042 African chromosomes, 484 Asian chromosomes, and 644 Australasian chromosomes. The distribution of the C282Y mutation coincides with that of populations in which haemochromatosis has been reported and is consistent with the theory of a north European origin for the mutation. The H63D polymorphism is more widely distributed and its connection with haemochromatosis remains unclear.
Weak Chelation-Assisted C4-Selective Alkylation of Indoles with Cyclopropanols via Sequential C–H/C–C Bond Activation

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A Rh-catalyzed weak chelation-guided C4-alkylation of indoles has been accomplished using cyclopropanols as an alkylating agent via the cascade C-H and C-C bond activation. The substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and late-stage mutation of drug molecules are the important practical features.
THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE DETERMINATION IN THYROID DISORDERS*

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Interest in the relationship between the phase angle of the electrical impedance of the human body and thyroid disturbances has been prompted by the recent work which Brazier (1), (2), (3), (4) has reported in England. During the past year the American Goiter Society granted Brazier its first award for her contribution to the study of thyroid disorders. Furthermore, at the present time an apparatus of the type described by Brazier is being offered for sale in England as a diagnostic instrument for use in thyroid disease. According to the publication of this author it is possible to follow the clinical course of thyroid disease very accurately, using this electrical measurement as the basis for the estimation of thyroid activity. Since impedance values are little affected by food, activity, menstrual cycle and so forth, it appeared that this measurement might offer decided advantages over metabolic rate determinations. The earliest attempts to measure the impedance of the human body were made with direct current. Using a direct current, the impedance offered by the body to the current has but a single component, namely, the resistance. However, when an alternating current is employed, the body conducts the current as would a circuit containing both a resistance and a capacitance. In other words it exhibits both resistance and reactance. The ratio of the values of these two components is a property of the tissues under observation. Brazier believes this property to be a function of thyroid activity. The ratio of the reactance to the resistance Brazier defines as the “Impedance Phase Angle.” Inasmuch as this ratio is not represented by an angle in conventional electrical engineering practice we shall avoid the use of this expression. Instead we shall follow the notation, already well established, in which this ratio is designated as the factor “Q.”
Glutathione S-Transferase Inhibiting Chemical Constituents of Caesalpinia bonduc

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Glutathione S-transferase inhibition assay-guided fractionations on the ethanolic extract of the bark of Caesalpinia bonduc resulted in the isolation of a new sterol, 17-hydroxy-campesta-4,6-dien-3-one (1) along with four known compounds, 13,14-seco-stigmasta-5,14-dien-3alpha-ol (2), 13,14-seco-stigmasta-9(11),14-dien-3alpha-ol (3), caesaldekarin J (4) and pipataline (5) as active constituents. Structures of compounds 1-5 were established on the basis of extensive NMR spectroscopic studies. The compounds (1-5) were isolated on the basis of their inhibitory activity against glutathione S-transferase, an enzyme that has been implicated in resistances during treatment of cancer and parasitic infections. Efforts to study structure-activity relationships of compounds 2 and 3 were also made by modifying their structures. The IC50 values of these compounds and their derivatives ranged from 57-380 microM and were compared to the inhibitory effects due to sodium taurocholate, an isoprene-derived GST inhibitor (IC50=398 microM). A plausible biosynthesis of 13,14-seco-steroids has also been proposed.
A protocol on in vitro rooting of ‘Bayrampaşa’ artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Artichoke, belongs to the family Asteraceae (Compositae), is cultivated in a very wide area in the world and regarded as a functional food due to the bioactive components. The propagation of artichoke via tissue culture offers considerable advantages. However one of the most important problem is in vitro rooting. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to develop an effective protocol on in vitro rooting of ‘Bayrampaşa’ cultivar which is one of the important local artichoke cultivar. To serve the purpose, after a successful micropropagation process, involving 3 subculture stages, well-developed plantlets were selected and rooted in different media compositions as ten different media including control group were used in present study. The differences between the media were provided by adding different growth regulators such as 10.0 mg l-1 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 6.0 mg l-1 indole butyric acid (IBA), 5.0 mg l-1 gibberellic acid (GA3), 0.5 mg l-1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and activated charcoal (0, 1.0 and 2.0 g l-1). Developments of plantlets were observed and recorded at 15 days intervals. According to the results obtained during the study, the medium containing IAA (10.0 mg l-1) and 1.0 g l-1 of activated charcoal gave the best results in terms of rooting after micropropagation.
Comments on 'Optimal gain for proportional-integral-derivative feedback' by S.A.K. Al-Assadi and L.A.M. Al-Chalabi

This comment concerns the comparison of tuning parameters for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers proposed in the above paper (ibid., vol.7, no.6, p.16-19, 1987). The commenters focus on the time-delay example and the resulting table contained in the above paper. They remark on some fundamental points regarding PID controllers that have been misunderstood in the above paper as well as in T.B. Kinney (Chem. Eng., p.67, Sept. 1983), which serves as one of its principal references.< >
The Impact of Paricalcitol on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality are significantly higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineral metabolism disorders, such as hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and vitamin D deficiency, have been deeply associated not only with bone disease, but also with vascular calcification and CV disease. In addition, the decrease in vitamin D production stimulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, resulting in vasoconstriction and salt and water retention, which further promotes arterial stiffening. Several studies have shown that supplementation with vitamin D ameliorates some of these issues and is associated with improved survival. However, vitamin D also elevates serum levels of calcium and phosphorus. Selective vitamin D receptor (VDR) activators, such as paricalcitol, provide similar efficacy but are not associated with elevated serum concentrations of calcium and phosphorus. By selectively activating VDR, paricalcitol should enhance cardiorenal protection and provide significant clinical benefit. Therefore, paricalcitol may offer a novel and interesting approach to supplement and potentially enhance the standard of care in CKD patients.
Electrical Properties and Impedance Spectroscopy of Lithium Modified Potassium Sodium Niobate Ceramics

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Lead-free potassium sodium niobate (KNN) ceramics were prepared with lithium and tantalum modification. Structural properties were investigated. Impedance spectroscopy was used as a tool to analyze electrical behavior of ceramics as a function of frequency from 100 Hz to 10 MHz at a temperature range from 573 K to 798 K. Neither Li nor Li + Ta modification caused any secondary grain boundary phase, however both of them caused a densification of the ceramic. Increasing the lithium addition was found to decrease the impedance, while the Li + Ta addition drastically increased it. Finally, a temperature induced relaxation process was observed in the samples with the relaxation frequency shifting with temperature.

Image Sensing Scheme Enabling Fully-Programmable Light Adaptation and Tone Mapping With a Single Exposure

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

his letter presents new insights into a high dynamic range (HDR) technique recently reported. We demonstrate that two intertwined photodiodes per pixel can perform tone mapping under unconstrained illumination conditions with a single exposure. Experimental results attained from a prototype chip confirm the proposed theoretical framework. It opens the door to the realization of imagers providing HDR images free of artifacts without requiring any digital post-processing at all.
Formation of Rectangular Packing and One-Dimensional Lines of C60 on 11-Phenoxyundecanethiol Self-Assembled Monolayers on Au(111)

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The behavior of C(60) molecules deposited onto 11-phenoxyundecanethiol (phenoxy) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is studied using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) and spectroscopy. We observe that after thermally annealing between 350 and 400 K in vacuum a combination of hexagonally close-packed islands, rectangularly packed islands, and isolated single lines of C(60) is observed when the C(60) is initially deposited on an unannealed phenoxy SAM. However, only rectangularly packed islands are found when they are deposited on a preannealed phenoxy SAM. We determine the rectangular packing to have a (2√3 × 4) rectangular unit cell with respect to the underlying Au(111) substrate. This type of C(60) structure has not been observed previously for multicomponent self-assemblies on a surface. We discuss the possible causes for the formation of this structure as well as the differences between starting on an unannealed SAM and an annealed one. This study demonstrates the capability of functionalized alkanethiol SAMs to control the growth and structure of C(60) islands during annealing depending on the structural changes of the SAM itself; by preannealing the SAM, the motion of the C(60) can be confined and unique structures resulting from interactions between the SAM molecules and C(60) can be produced.
