Support for C. Poulsen's proposal to validate the generic name Sao Barrande, 1846 (Class Trilobita)

Thesis Proposal: Support for Parallel Generic Programming

Brand Name: Tivicay Generic Name: dolutegravir Manufacturer: ViiV Healthcare Drug Class: Antiretroviral Agent, Integrase Inhibitor

Mechanism of Action: Dolutegravir inhibits the catalytic activity of HIV integrase, which is an HIV encoded enzyme required for viral replication. Integrase is one of the three HIV-1 enzymes required for viral replication. Integration of HIV into cellular DNA is a multi-step process. First, the assembly of integrase in a stable complex with the viral DNA occurs. Second, the terminal dinucleotid...

Brand Name: Bydureon Generic Name: Exenatide extended-release (ER) Manufacturer: Amylin Pharmaceuticals Drug Class

Mechanism of Action: 1,2,3,4, : Incretins, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion and exhibit other antihyperglycemic actions following their release into the circulation from the gut. Exenatide extended-release is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta-cell, suppresses inappropriately eleva...

Support for the Evolution of C++ Generic Functions

The choice of requirements for an argument of a generic type or algorithm is a central design issue in generic programming. In the context of C++, a specification of requirements for a template argument or a set of template arguments is called a concept. In this paper, we present a novel tool, TACE, designed to help programmers understand the requirements that their code de facto imposes on arg...

An Empirical Study to Validate Metrics for Class Diagrams

One of the principal objectives of software engineering is to improve the quality of software products. Quality assurance must be guaranteed from the early stages of the software development life cycle, focusing on high-level design artifacts like class diagrams. Indeed, class diagrams constitute the backbone of objectoriented information systems (OOIS) so, their quality has a great impact on t...
