BACKGROUND DNA fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) based on IS6110 has been shown to be a powerful epidemiologic tool. Restriction enzyme analysis (REA) is a fingerprinting technique, which is used for differentiation and investigation of genetic diversity among mycobacterial species. AIMS To investigating the genetic heterogeneity in MTB isolates in Ahvaz, Iran. SETTINGS AND...

Few studies from CSCW or HCI address ERP systems or other software used to integrate and monitor production processes. However, as ERP systems are software to be used to support and monitor highly co-operative efforts of producing and selling goods, and as the management and control of these processes is also a co-operative activity, results from this area might give indications for improvement...

Proof beyond reasonable doubt of the mens rea or state of mind associated with a particular crime is a requirement for the successful prosecution of all criminal defendants under our system of justice. In the legal jargon, it is part of the prosecution’s prima facie case. Concomitantly, criminal defendants may successfully challenge the case against them on the ground (among others) that the pr...

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the accounting REA model can be incorporated into the Information Engineering set of methodologies in the Accounting or Financial Information Systems classroom. We contrast the traditional Information Engineering approach with one that includes REA modeling. We argue that the REA model is an interaction model, and that its use enables accounting stud...

Concepts such as intention, motive, or forethought have generated a great deal of doubt, dispute, and confusion in legal decision making. Here we argue for an empirically based strategy of defining and using such mens rea concepts. Instead of the standard approach of settling these concepts by theoretical argument and the debaters' own intuitions, we rely on social psychological research to det...

We consider immiscible and incompressible two-phase flow in porous media under steady-state conditions using a dynamic pore network model. focus on the fluctuations Representative Elementary Area (REA), with aim to demonstrate that statistical distributions of volumetric rate saturation within REA become independent size entire model when is large enough. This independence necessary condition f...

Systems Analysis and Design is a core component of most information systems curricula, and generally includes coverage of process modeling with data flow diagrams. In order to relate process modeling to something with which all students are familiar, the content of a traditional Systems Analysis and Design course can be supplemented with an ontological framework. This manuscript proposes that a...

REA (resource-event-agent) is an ontology based on the value oriented perspective of resources, utilized in business process modeling. The value chain model is a network of business processes that are bound by the inflows and outflows of resources, the result of which provides an overview of the business processes of a particular enterprise and validates the consistency of the whole model. The ...

Objective: To study the incidence, clinical profile & HLA association of subsets of spondyloarthritis patients in eastern India. Results: Ankylosing spondylitis(AS) constitutes maximum number of cases followed by undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy(USpA) and others. 59% of AS cases presented with both axial & peripheral arthritis whereas 41% have only axial presentation. Reactive arthritis (Re...
