Many software developers use the Fusion method with some modifications and adaptations to meet their specific needs. We at Navision Software a/s began to use the Fusion method about a year ago. We supplemented the method by working with use cases and incremental development. We also defined a relationship between Fusion and the project management process and made several other minor changes in ...

This paper describes a new, highly sensitive, rapid method for the determination of low levels of endogenous melatonin, the pineal and retinal hormone, in fish plasma samples. The combination of solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection significantly improves the separation and increases the sensitivity of the assay. The proposed method may be...

A study has been performed to measure the resistance of Pall Ultipor BB50 filters when exposed to humidified air for 48 h during artificial ventilation by an Engstrom Erica ventilator fitted with a Bennett Cascade Mk2 humidifier. A marked increase in resistance was demonstrated. A hypothesis is presented as to the aetiology of these findings together with details of minor modifications to the s...

We provide a new approach to the analysis of the optimal joint inventory and transshipment control with uncertain capacities by employing the concept of L-convexity. In this approach, we use variable transformation techniques and apply two recent results to establish the L-concavity of the profit-to-go functions, which significantly simplifies the analysis in the existing literature. Some varia...

each year many large scale national projects face execution problems. in this regard, riskmanagement can play a significant role in identifying and taking proper measures. in this research,using project management body of knowledge (pmbok), a risk management procedure has beendesigned and implemented in transmission and high distribution power lines of khorasan regionalelectric company. first, ...

background: laboratory bred sand flies are essential for the study of different biological phenomena including the transmis­sion dynamics of leishmania . the aim of the study was to determine the suitable situation for colonization and main­tenance of iranian strain of phlebotomus papatasi at laboratory conditions from an endemic focus of cutaneous leishmani­asis due to leishmania major . metho...

Human concentrative nucleoside transporters 1, 2, and 3 (hCNT1, hCNT2, and hCNT3) exhibit different functional characteristics, and a better understanding of their permeant selectivities is critical for development of nucleoside analog drugs with optimal pharmacokinetic properties. In this study, the sensitivity of a high-throughput yeast expression system used previously for hCNT1 and hCNT3 wa...

Kusuoka's measure on fractals is a Gibbs of very special kind, since its potential discontinuous while the standard theory measures requires continuous (in simplest version, Holder) potentials. In this paper we shall see that for many it possible to build class matrix-valued completely within scope theory; there are naturally some minor modifications, but they only due fact dealing with functio...

Cancer is the most lethal ailment throughout world in present era. The development of new anticancer remedies with minor unhealthful effects and an alternate mechanism crucial. Benzimidazole a distinguished heterocyclic compound now recognized as privileged scaffold for drug discovery. This chapter deals capability benzimidazolium salts their metal complexes. derivatives have been prepared by i...
