As you may know, the Rational Unified Process®, or RUP®, is a widely used software process framework that can be tailored to your process needs and can accommodate other techniques. Scrum is a collection of interesting project management patterns used to wrap agile software projects. This article introduces some important characteristics of Scrum and presents techniques on how you can add Scrum...

Figure 1: Images show multiple filling defects in the pulmonary arteries (A–H, arrowheads), consecutive enlargement of the right ventricle with flattening of the interventricular septum (D and F, asterisk) and marked dilatation of the left atrium with leftward bowing of the interatrial septum (F and H, curved arrow). Images also show a spherical thrombus in the right atrium (F–H, large arrow) a...

One aspect of the relativistic space-time curvature due to the presence of mass is the breakdown of Euclidean (fiat-space) geometry. For example, the diameter of a spherical mass is greater than the result obtained by dividing the circumference by π. The objective of this article is to determine the amount of discrepancy between ”relativistic” and” non-relativistic” diameters for objects such a...

This paper presents an experiment investigating attention allocation in four tasks requiring varied degrees of lexical processing of 1-4 simultaneously displayed words. Response times and eye movements were only modestly affected by the number of words in an asterisk-detection task but increased markedly with the number of words in letter-detection, rhyme-judgment, and semantic-judgment tasks, ...

The purpose of this publication is to provide examples weeds commonly found under certain environmental conditions. While can be an indicator a condition, some weed species thrive in many different environments and are indicated the following tables with asterisk. For example, spotted spurge (Euphorbia maculata) indicative dry site, but it will grow spread very well sites that over-irrigated al...
