The study was carried out to assess the reproductive abilities of White Plymouth Rock (WPR) and Barred Plymouth Rock (BPR) parent stock (layer breeders) reared under similar housing (deep litter), management and agro-climatic conditions. A total of 1,763,322 and 1,732,966 fertilized eggs were produced by WPR and BPR, respectively, during the observed period which lasted four years (2002-2005). ...

Web applications have become very complex and crucial, especially when combined with areas such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and BPR (Business Process Reengineering), the scientific community has focused attention to Web applications design, development, analysis, and testing, by studying and proposing methodologies and tools. This paper proposes an approach to automatic multi-dime...

The increasing speed of technological progress has resulted in complex and dynamic business environments. As organisations need to adapt to new trading conditions and respond to competitive pressures, various change management approaches such as business process reengineering (BPR) are being adopted. This management concept relates to the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of an entire...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the blood pressure (BP) responses to cardiovascular stress test after a combined exercise circuit session at moderate intensity. METHOD Twenty individuals (10 male/10 fem; 33.4± 6.9 years; 70.2± 15.8 kg; 170.4± 11.5 cm; 22.3± 6.8% body fat) were randomized in a different days to control session with no exercise or exercise session consisting of 3 laps of the following...

Business Process Reengineering has gained a considerable attention in the world of change management during the past years. While more and more organizations embark on the BPR trend it can be concluded, that the theoretical bedrock for BPR falls rather short of the concepts ambition of being a solution for a multiplicity of problems that many companies suffer from. This thesis is intended to pr...

Many different methods and techniques can be used for modelling business processes within business process renovation (BPR) projects. There are several techniques and tools that attempt to effectively represent all modelling perspectives and fulfil all goals and objectives but as such generate complex models that are hard to understand and reduce their ease of use. One of widely used techniques...

[1] Two time series of deep ocean bottom pressure records (BPRs) in between the Crozet Islands and Kerguelen are compared with GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) equivalent water heights. An analysis of the correlation is performed for four time series: 1) monthly averages of the equivalent water height at the Crozet Islands, 2) the same near the Kerguelen Islands, 3) the mean of t...

In order to gain insight in tools and languages for business process modelling (BPM) and business process redesign (BPR), we present a framework for the evaluation of such languages and tools. The framework evaluates the quality of tools and languages for supporting all stages in a BPR project. It consists of four dimensions: functionality, ease of use, support of redesign trajectories, and gen...
