The computer science community has always faced the challenge of what is “good enough” software. remains unsolved and will remain that way under prevailing mindset a quantitative formula. This message offers more pragmatic approach.

Yarns produced by Japanese Open-end BD-200 spinning machines give these major advantages: (1) They are somewhat stronger than yarns spun by Czecho BD-200's. (2) They are almost as strong as yarns spun by ring spinning machines. This strength is obtainable without raising the cost of raw cotton if the right fore-spinning processes and spinning conditions are used. (3) They have maximum strength ...

The history of the development of sound on film offers us lessons for the development of sound and music for interactive artforms. Now that technological developments have enabled almost unrestricted importation of audio into interactive platforms, the time has come for us to ask: is the content of the audio good enough?

What is the capacity to care and why does it matter? How is it acquired? What are its origins in the early development of self and morality? Are women better at caring than men and, if so, is this likely to change with contemporary changes in parenting and gender relations? What would constitute a good enough family, as opposed to good enough mothering? How does the capacity to care inform the ...

Criteria are used to help decide whether the risk associated with a project or activity is low enough to proceed. The key question then, is when is low enough good enough? This paper describes the flexible framework in use in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries for deciding on the tolerability of risk. The levels of individual risk that are generally accepted world-wide as intolerable are...

In this paper, two issues about wire width are investigated. The first one is that “Is the minimum wire width under the minimum wire pitch for a process technology good enough from the perspective of timing performance?” The second is that “Is delay sensitive to wire width variation around the optimal width?” We find that the answer to the first issue is “yes”, whereas the answer to the second ...

Reducing redundant medical lab tests has been discussed in the literature as a cost saving benefit of Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption; however the literature does not provide a great deal of information on the mechanics of achieving this goal. Laboratory ordering using an EHR occurs within a complex socio-technical context that can be difficult to understand. A case study was performed ...

During the past decade there have been remarkable achievements in the immunopathogenesis of the inflammatory myopathies that laid the grounds for more eVective therapeutic interventions. This editorial summarises where we stand today in our understanding of these disorders and their treatment, identifies key biological issues that need further study, and considers possibilities of applying new ...
