In diesem Beitrag wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Code-Qualität und UMLModellen in einem Software-Entwicklungsprozess in der Informatik-Ausbildung vorgestellt. Es wird untersucht, welche der im Code sichtbar werdenden Mängel bereits im Modell erkannt werden können. Werkzeuge zur statischen Code-Analyse und Refactoring-Techniken unterstützen die Studierenden beim Entdecken und Beseitigen der Qual...

It is shown that in the units of augmentation one of an integral group ring ZG of a finite group G, a noncyclic subgroup of order p, for some odd prime p, exists only if such a subgroup exists in G. The corresponding statement for p = 2 holds by the Brauer–Suzuki theorem, as recently observed by W. Kimmerle.

Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...

One-loop off-shell contributions to the three-gluon vertex are calculated, in arbitrary covariant gauge and in arbitrary space-time dimension, including quark-loop contributions (with massless quarks). It is shown how one can get the results for all on-shell limits of interest directly from the general off-shell expression. The corresponding general expressions for the one-loop ghost-gluon vert...

In Thailand, water-storage jars, barrels, drums, pails, and tanks constitute vast developmental sites for Aedes aegypti in urban, semiurban, and rural areas. Earthen water jars, cement jars, and concrete tanks constitute the greatest proportion of artificial containers where Ae. aegypti breed. This species is a major vector of the causal agents of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, and vector...

Neuromedin U (NMU) is a brain-gut peptide involved in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and adrenocortical cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated the effects of NMU8 (three subcutaneous injections of 6.0 nmol/100 g, 24, 16 and 8 h before autopsy) on the adrenal glands of rats treated for 2 or 4 days with a low (2 microg/100 g body weight/24 h) or a high (8 mi...

We report a detection of galaxy-QSO cross-correlation wGQ in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (EDR) over 0.2−30 arc-minute scales. We cross-correlate galaxy samples of different mean depths r = 19 − 22 (zG = 0.15 − 0.35) with the main QSO population (i′Q < 19.1) at zQ ≃ 1.6. We find significant positive correlation in all cases except for the faintest QSOs, as expected if ...

This study aimed to elucidate the role of the AT(2) receptor (AT(2)R), which is expressed and upregulated in the adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) under conditions of increased aldosterone production. We developed a novel transgenic rat (TGR; TGRCXmAT(2)R) that overexpresses the AT(2)R in the adrenal gland, heart, kidney, brain, skeletal muscle, testes, lung, spleen, aorta, and vein. As a consequen...

CONTEXT Aldosterone levels increase during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Prior studies examining relationships between aldosterone and female sex hormones did not control for sodium balance, a major determinant of aldosterone production. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were 1) to compare aldosterone levels between menstrual phases among cycling women in high- and low-sodium...
