highly radioactive byproducts. Commercially, uranium is used in an enriched form (higher percentage of the fissile isotope U) and a depleted form (low percentage of U). Enriched uranium is used in nuclear reactors, while depleted uranium is used for military applications in munitions and armor. Uranium has low gastrointestinal absorption; absorbed uranium takes the form of uranyl ion for circul...

BACKGROUND Zoonotic diseases account for over 60% of all communicable diseases causing illness in humans and 75% of recently emerging infectious diseases. As limited resources are available for the control and prevention of zoonotic diseases, it is necessary to prioritize diseases in order to direct resources into those with the greatest needs. The selection of criteria for prioritization has t...

introduction the necessity of providing required information to plan for trauma is one of the most important for the assessment classification process. in fact, due to the arising information from needs and preferences, the importance is doubled for expert and specialist programmers. in this process, the objectives of the program in trauma are identified with essential actions for development a...

Requirements prioritization is recognized as an important activity in product development. In this paper, we describe the current state of requirements prioritization practices in two case companies and present the practical challenges involved. Our study showed that requirements prioritization is an ambiguous concept and current practices in the companies are informal. Requirements prioritizat...

Regression Testing is performed after modification of the program or software; it classified the existing test cases into re-used test cases and affected test cases after modification of the code. Test case prioritization is an approach of arranging the existing test cases in manner that most affected test cases (that generated maximum number of faults) test first after the other one. There are...

When developing packaged software which is sold “off-the-shelf” on a worldwide market place, it is essential to collect needs and opportunities from different market segments and use this information in the prioritization of requirements for the next software release. This paper presents an industrial case study where a distributed prioritization process is proposed, observed and evaluated. The...

Excessive wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are a major problem in the Canadian healthcare system. To determine how requests for MRI studies are managed, the authors performed a survey of public MRI facilities in Canada. Ninety-six per cent had some method to triage MRI requests. However, only 42% had documented guidelines for prioritization, and none employed quality assu...

The main objective of regression testing is to test the modified software during maintenance phase of Software Development Life Cycle. An easiest strategy to regression testing is to retest all test cases in a test suite, but due to limitation of resources and time constraint, it is not efficient to implement. Test case prioritization technique increases the effectiveness of regression testing ...

Deciding which business processes to improve first is a challenge most corporate decision-makers face. The literature offers many approaches, techniques, and tools that support such process prioritization decisions. Despite the broad knowledge about measuring the performance of individual processes and determining related need for improvement, the interconnectedness of processes has not been co...
