1 INTRODUCTION Method engineering (e.g. Brinkkemper et al., 1998; Ralyté and Rolland, 2001) focuses on how to create a method (here a software development method) that is highly suitable and " personalized " for a particular project or organization. Successful method engineering needs, as input, a repository of process elements (Chroust, 2000) that describes individual elements of the methodolo...

A 46-year-old woman with moderate lens subluxation and Marfan ́s syndrome underwent a phacoemulsification on the right eye with a sutureless Henderson Capsular Tension Ring (HCTR) implantation. The surgical procedure and the postoperative follow up period were uneventful, with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0 (LogMAR). Seven months after surgery the patient presented an inferomedial di...

Many methods are available for determining the sensitivity of M. tuberculosis to various chemotherapeutic agents. These may be divided broadly into three groups. In the first group the streptomycin is incorporated into solid media, such as that of Herrold (1931) or of Lowenstein (1930) and Jensen (1932) (Pyle, 1947; Johnson, 1950; Youmans, Ibrahim, Sweany, and Sweany, 1950; Tinne and Henderson,...

A direct potentiometric titration method was applied to commercial and soil humic acids in order to determine their carboxyl and phenol group concentrations and apparent and intrinsic pK. In that context, acid-base properties of humic acids are interpreted by selective blocking of carboxylic and phenolic groups by esterification and acetylation. Differences in underivatized and derivatized HA’s...

In order to examine the effects of personality and early life experiences on perceived social support, a total of 97 young Japanese women were investigated. Current interpersonal relationships were measured by an interview modified from Henderson et al.'s Interview Schedule for Social Interaction (ISSI). Personality was measured by Cloninger et al.'s Temperament and Character Inventory. Early l...

Indigenous fermented foods Gundruk (fermented mustard leaves), Sinki radish taproot), and Maseura lentils) are mostly sun dried, thus often deteriorate during the uncontrolled drying process. Herein, cabinet was done at 50, 55, 60°C after fermentation, moisture loss systematically recorded. The data were converted to ratio fitted five semi-theoretical mathematical models: Modified Henderson Pab...

The May spinning top generator was adapted to a modified Henderson tube for producing large aerosol particles (>4 mum) to obtain almost exclusive upper respiratory tract deposition of infectious aerosols in exposed mice. The system was installed in a biological safety cabinet to permit experimentation with pathogens. A novel mechanism utilizing parts from a machinists micrometer and the mechani...

It is common to see chapters on acid-base physiology state that the goal of acid-base regulatory mechanisms is to maintain the pH of arterial plasma and not arterial Pco(2) (Pa(CO(2))) or plasma HCO(3). A hypothetical situation in which the Pa(CO(2)) of arterial plasma is 80 mmHg and the plasma HCO(3) concentration is 48 mM is presented and analyzed to get over this misconception. As per the mo...
