Abstract. Establishing whether uptake of rainwater-recharged soil water (RRS) can increase plant transpiration in response to rainfall pulses requires an investigation evaluate adaptability, especially water-limited regions where rainwater is the only replenishable source. In this study, sources from RRS and three layers, predawn leaf potential (Ψpd), midday (Ψm), gradient (Ψpd−Ψm), were analyz...

The Unified Process is a widely used process framework for software development. The framework is covering many of the roles, activities and artifacts needed in a software development project. However, a tailoring of the framework is necessary to fit specific needs. This tailoring may be accomplished in various ways. In this paper we describe a concrete attempt to tailor the Rational Unified Pr...

Business modeling is a primary task in the information systems development lifecycle. Although both MEASUR (Methods for Eliciting, Analyzing and Specifying User’s Requirement) and RUP (Rational Unified Process) provide their own Business Modeling Method (BMM), each has obvious merits and demerits. To keep the merits and avoid the demerits at the same time, in this paper, a MEASUR and RUP combin...

In this paper, we present the results of a project conducted to analyze the coverage of the roles within the Bombardier Engineering System (BES) Software Engineering (SWE) process definition and subsequently improve the role definitions. This is the common software engineering process definition of Bombardier’s Transportation division. Role definitions were analyzed using three internationally ...

The importance of Software Architecture design has been acknowledged as a very important factor for a high-quality software development. Different efforts in both industry and academia have produced multiple system development methodologies (SDMs) that include SA design activities. In addition, standardization bodies have defined different recommendations regarding Software Architecture design....

Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen by dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cell (DSPEC) is a promising approach to solar fuels production. In this study, series of pyridine derivatives as surface additives were modified on molecular chromophore oxidation catalyst co-loaded TiO2 photoanode, TiO2|RuP, 1 (RuP = Ru(4,4?-(PO3H2)2-2,2?-bipyridine)(2,2?-bipyridine)2, Ru(bda)(L)2, (bda 2,2?-bipyri...
