This position paper discusses the need for and the organization ofa traceability benchmark. We establish the basic principles of organization of such a benchmark. We then observe the nature oftraceability tasks in three areas of Software Engineering: independent verification and validation, software maintenance, and reverseengineering. Based on this, we derive the desiderata for a traceability ...

the goal of the present research was to study the content organization of the textbooks taught in level one hawza illmiya curriculum and its ideal characteristics on the basis of the thematic integration approach. we first reviewed the relevant theoretical ideas and conducted a primary interview with some of professors teaching in seminaries, upon which we composed a list of characteristics of ...

Proteins display a hierarchy of structural features at primary, secondary, tertiary, and higher-order levels, an organization that guides our current understanding of their biological properties and evolutionary origins. Here, we reveal a structural organization distinct from this traditional hierarchy by statistical analysis of correlated evolution between amino acids. Applied to the S1A serin...

Inhibition usually decreases input-output excitability of neurons. If, however, inhibition is coupled to excitation in a push-pull fashion, where inhibition decreases as excitation increases, neuron excitability can be increased. Although the presence of push-pull organization has been demonstrated in single cells, its functional impact on neural processing depends on its effect on the system l...

Transnational corporations (TNCs) are playing a major role in global R&D, not only through activities in their home countries but also increasingly abroad. However, the process of R&D offshoring is not yet discussed thoroughly. Based on in-depth case study on Agilent China Communications Operation, this paper presents a stage model for theorizing the R&D offshoring process. This stage model out...
