The present study focuses on the assessment of urban heat island (UHI) and energy fluxes over Indian metropolitan cities. For this purpose, a high-resolution numerical Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model coupled single-layer canopy (WRF-UCM) has been implemented Delhi, Kolkata Hyderabad to evaluate performance these models in capturing impact areas simulating UHI different land use cover (...

BACKGROUND Teenagers and university students are an especially vulnerable population towards unhealthy alcohol consumption. AIM To assess the actual consumption of alcohol among medical students at the Universidad Católica del Maule, Chile (UCM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross sectional study of students who entered medical school between years 2004 and 2010.We applied CAGE questionnaire alon...

We are developing a system that analyze medical reports and extract a SNOMED-CT based concept representation. The more interesting characteristic of our system is not only that it can detect the concepts. It also takes into account if they appear in an affirmative, negative or speculative context. The system also separates the concept representation according to the structure of the document. O...

The User Requirements Notation (URN) combines the Goaloriented Requirement Language (GRL) with the Use Case Map (UCM) scenario notation. Although tools exist in isolation for both views, they are currently not meant to work together, hence preventing one to exploit URN to its fullest extent. This paper presents jUCMNav, a new Eclipse-based tool that supports both UCM and GRL in an integrated wa...

`The aim of this analysis is to investigate the existence of the dual solutions for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a porous shrinking wall. We have employed the Lie group analysis for the simplification of the nonlinear differential system and computed the absolute invariants explicitly. An efficient numerical technique namely the shooting method h...

This study tested the hypotheses that all major joints along the longitudinal axis of the body are equally active during quiet standing and that their motions are coordinated to stabilize the spatial positions of the center of mass (CM) and head. Analyses of the effect of joint configuration variance on the stability of the CM and head positions were performed using the uncontrolled manifold (U...

Requirement Specification is gaining increasingly attention as a critical phase of software systems development. As requirement descriptions evolve, they quickly become error-prone and difficult to understand. Thus, the development of techniques and tools to support requirement specification development, understanding, testing, maintenance and reuse becomes an important issue. This paper extend...
