Data analytics is an essential element for success in modern enterprises. Nonetheless, to effectively design and implement analytics systems is a non-trivial task. This paper proposes a modeling framework (a set of metamodels and a set of design catalogues) for requirements analysis of data analytics systems. It consists of three complementary modeling views: business view, analytics design vie...

the possibility of using water insoluble fraction from biomass pyrolysis oil as additive in synthesis of wood-plastic novolac has been proved by using differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) and fourier transformed infra red (ft-ir) spectroscopy. synthesis of novolac with different concentrations (10, 20 and 30 wt %) of water insoluble fraction were performed. it was found that mechanical prope...

This study compared the effectiveness of an Internet-based method with a standard method for preparing adolescent patients scheduled for out-patient tonsillectomy procedures. A two-group experimental design compared adolescents' state anxiety, knowledge acquisition, postoperative pain intensity, and satisfaction with the method of preoperative preparation. Parents' state anxiety and satisfactio...

A review is made of the most important decisions in the design of asynchronous systems to support the preparation of business decision meetings. These decisions are illustrated with the choices made for the development of SISCO, a system of this type. The presentation considers issues in the discussion model, the group memory, the communication and visualization mechanisms, and the development ...

the seedbed preparation and cereal residue present due to limit of maize (zea mays l.) growing period are a major challenge in double cropping after winter cereals in iran as: shahrekord. in this research, effects of various seedbed preparation methods and crop residuea managements on vegetative growth and yield of forage maize (ksc 704) were studied in a barley-maize double cropping during 200...

objective: a clinically feasible convergence angle in full-coverage crown preparations, meeting the requirements for proper retention and resistance forms, has always been a matter of interest for laboratory and clinical researches. this study aims to evaluate the angle in teeth prepared by both under- and post-graduate students at tehran university of medical sciences, faculty of dentistry, de...

INTRODUCTION The demand for intravitreal therapy has increased dramatically with the introduction of vascular endo-thelial growth factor inhibitors. Improved utilisation of existing resources is crucial to meeting the increased future demand. We investigated time spent preparing intravitreal injection treatment using either prefilled syringes or vials in routine clinical practice. METHODS We ...

In order to improve the quality of software systems and to set up a more effective process for their development, many attempts have been made in the field of software engineering. Reuse of existing knowledge is seen as a promising way to solve the outstanding problems in this field. In previous work we have integrated the design pattern concept with the formal design language SDL, resulting in...
