Design patterns specify generic relations among abstract design elements. We hypothesize that design patterns are productive units of analogical transfer in design. We describe a normative theory of analogy-based design called model-based analogy (or MBA) that transfers design patterns from source cases to target problems. In particular, for the domain of physical devices, we identify a class o...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014208368 DESCRIPTION Enlargement and ectasia of the basilar artery as a consequence of fusiform aneurysm is described as megadolicho basilar artery (MBA) anomaly. MBA can cause ischaemic events of the posterior circulation or compression of the adjacent nerves; or, rarely, su...

This paper develops a framework for studying individuals’ ideas about what constitutes just compensation for chief executive officers (CEOs) and reports estimates of just CEO pay and the principles guiding ideas of justice among students pursuing a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) degree in Sweden and the United States. The framework, based on justice theory and making use of Rossi’s f...

In the present study, N-(α-methylbenzyl-)-1-aminobenzotriazole (MBA) and ketoconazole (KET) were identified as the inhibitors with selectivity towards dog CYP2B11 and CYP3A12, respectively. Their selectivity was evaluated using phenacetin O-deethylation (CYP1A), diazepam (DZ) N1-demethylation (CYP2B11), diclofenac 4'-hydrxylation (CYP2C21), bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation (CYP2D11) and DZ C3-hydroxy...

Abstract Heavy metal ions pose a threat to both ecological balance and human health owing the non-biodegradable poisonous characteristics. A simple, convenient rapid ion monitoring plays significant role for eliminating pollution. In this work, we prepared 4-mercaptobenzoic acids (4-MBA)-functionalized silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) as colorimetric probes construct Chromium III (C...
