This paper describes a new system for software engineering: the DP&T System. The DP&T System is driven by defect prevention and automated traceability. It consists of six parts: the DP&T Model, the DP&T Methodology, the DP&T Support Graphics, the DP&T Support Technologies, the DP&T Support Tools, and the DP&T Support Platforms. The DP&T System is developed to help software engineers deal effici...

ABSTRACT- This study was designed to investigate the effects of adding different levels of date presscakes (DP), with and without enzyme supplementation (ES), on the ileal digestibility and growth performance of broiler. A completely randomized design containing 2 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments (with and without enzyme supplementation and 5 levels of DP) was used. The enzyme complex co...

We investigated the associations between cardiovascular function and both body mass index and physical fitness in Korean men. The subjects were 2,013 men, aged 20 to 83 years, who visited a health promotion center for a comprehensive medical and fitness test during 2006-2009. The WHO's Asia-Pacific Standard Report definition of BMI was used in this study. Fitness assessment of cardiorespiratory...

product (DP), distortion-product “audiogram” (DP-gram), distortion-product OAE (DPOAE), fine structure, fast Fourier transform (FFT), input/output (I/O), inverse FFT (IFFT), magnitude and phase, medial olivocochlear (MOC), otoacoustic emissions (OAE), outer hair cell (OHC), polar plot, reflection, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), spontaneous OAE (SOAE), stimulus-frequency OAE (SFOAE), transient-evo...

The differentiation process from CD4-CD8- double-negative (DN) thymocytes to CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) stage is accompanied by vigorous proliferation. The resulting DP cells contain a sizable proportion of large cycling cells, but most DP cells are small resting cells. To explore the molecular mechanisms which regulate cell proliferation of DP thymocytes prior to further development, we use...

We characterized the 2F1-F2 distortion product reflected in the human frequency-following response (FFR). In the first experiment, we evaluated the input-output growth functions of the distortion product at 2F1-F2 (FFR-DP) for three primary pairs. In the second experiment, we tested the effect of primary tone level variation on the FFR-DP. The results for all three stimulus pairs showed that wh...

We present an analysis of the ψψ production from double parton (DP) sacttering and single parton (SP) scattering in the large pT region via color-octet gluon fragmentation. We find that at the Tevatron the DP ψψ production is at the edge of the detectability at present, and at the LHC the DP cross section will dominate over the SP cross section in the lower pT (min) region (i.e., pT (min) < 7Ge...

BACKGROUND Although exercise training is known to promote post-exercise hypotension, there is currently no consistent argument about the effects of manipulating its various components (intensity, duration, rest periods, types of exercise, training methods) on the magnitude and duration of hypotensive response. OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of continuous and interval exercises on hypotensive...

background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the use of the digital pen (DP) system to collect data in a clinical trial. To assess the accuracy of the system in this setting. DESIGN Qualitative study based on semistructured interviews and a focus group. Quantitative study comparing the DP system and a double manual data-entry system in accuracy of acquiring data by variable type (tick boxes, dates, numbers, let...
