We describe a conceptual framework for understanding software architecture as software models. Within this setting we focus on a particular perspective by describing a software system execution as consisting of interacting components. We characterize the component and interaction concepts and we devise means for making them explicit. Finally we consider architectural evolution in the realm of c...

This paper introduces a large collection of reusable software components that AT&T is making available in an OpenSource form. This software has been widely used around the world and includes well-known components such as KornShell, Nmake, Graphviz, S o, Vmalloc and Cdt.

Most of the core components of the archaeal chromosomal DNA replication apparatus share significant protein sequence similarity with eukaryotic replication factors, making the Archaea an excellent model system for understanding the biology of chromosome replication in eukaryotes. The present review summarizes current knowledge of how the core components of the archaeal chromosome replication ap...

The formulation of cosmetic products is always more complicated than studying the individual components in aqueous solution. This is because there are numerous interactions between the components, which make the formulation truly more than the sum of the parts. This article will look at interactions between anionic and cationic surfactants and offer insights into how to use these interactions a...

Because they are determined by sampling, the forest inventory estimates have error. It is customary to quantify this error in probabilistic terms, but because some of its sources are ignored, the error is generally underestimated. The paper analyzes the structure of the error by identifying its components (together with its sources) and by making some inferences about the size of these components.

BACKGROUND Competency profiles for occupational clusters within Canada's substance abuse workforce (SAW) define the need for skill and knowledge in evidence-based practice (EBP) across all its members. Members of the Senior Management occupational cluster hold ultimate responsibility for decisions made within addiction services agencies and therefore must possess the highest level of proficienc...

One policy making issue that needs to be addressed more effectively through an intergovernmental and participatory approach is entrepreneurship policy. Entrepreneurship is an area where interdependencies are very high, and the establishment of collaborative relationships such as networks is vital. Therefore, a network approach in the entrepreneurial policy-making process, which leads to the inv...

Objectives: The present study aimed to provide an estimation of the current financial burden of renal transplantation therapy for insurance organisations.Methods: An Excel-based model was developed to determine the treatment costs of current clinical practice in renal transplantation therapy (RTT). Inputs were derived from Ministry of Health and insurance organizations` database, hospital and p...
