Many of the concepts that need to be taught in software engineering courses are hard to get across because it is difficult to give the student practical experience of the intuitions and techniques involved. The student must come to understand multiple design and implementation formalisms whose relationship is often hidden by modern commercial software. Education theory would suggest that studen...

phytohemagglutinin (pha) is a lectin, obtained from the red kidney bean that binds to the membranes of t-cells and stimulates metabolic activity, cell division, etc. the object of this research was the comparison between self made pha (indigenous) and imported commercial one, following conventional and high resolution cell synchronization technique (hrcs) .from each blood sample of healthy indi...

Opisthorchiasis and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are major public health problems in Thailand and countries in the lower Mekong Subregion. Elimination of opisthorchiasis will be an important step toward the prevention, control and reduction of CCA. In order to achieve this goal, a sensitive and robust diagnostic method is required to identify people with current Opisthorchis viverrini sensu lato in...

Numerous determinations of the amino acid composition of various commercial preparations of the protamine, salmine, have been made (l-6). From several of these determinations (1, 2,4, 6) minimal molecular weights ranging from 7000 to 10,000 have been calculated on the assumption that the preparations were homogeneous. Analyses of two commercial samples (Krishell’ and Sharp and Dohme*) in this l...

BACKGROUND Previous studies of public perceptions of obesity interventions have been quantitative and based on general population surveys. This study aims to explore the opinions and attitudes of obese individuals towards population and individual interventions for obesity in Australia. METHODS Qualitative methods using in-depth semi-structured telephone interviews with a community sample of ...

background: although enteral feeding solutions are used to reduce the morbidity and mortality in many malnourished and hospitalized patients, microbial contamination of these products may lead to severe infections, especially in immune suppressed ones. the aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of commercial enteral feedings in two hospital settings in shiraz. methods: tw...

A major technological concern of our work is to improve the cost effectiveness, reusability, and interoperability of advanced educational software. To make these technologies viable, we must be able to add component functionality incrementally, and enable systems to interoperate with commercial software and internet resources. We have designing and implemented an architecture that places shared...

Large-scale screening of small organic compounds has become a standard and essential practice in the early discovery of chemical entities with potential therapeutic use. To effectively support high-throughput screening campaigns, compound collections have to be in suitable formats, which requires a process known as compound reformatting. Here we report our approach to reformat the newly-establi...

This paper evaluates the ability of a variety of commercial and non-commercial software products to detect serial run-time errors in C and C++ programs, to issue meaningful messages, and to give the line in the source code where the error occurred. The commercial products, Insure++ and Purify, evaluated did the best of all the software products we evaluated. Error messages were usually better a...

In this paper we demonstrate how genetic programming can be used to interpret time dependent facial expressions in terms of emotional stimuli of different types and intensities. In our analysis we have used video records of facial expressions made during the Mars-500 experiment in which six participants have been isolated for 520 days to simulate flight to Mars. The FaceReader, commercial softw...
