• It has been reported that MER-29, 1[(4-diethylaminoethoxy) phenylj-l-(p-tolyl)2-(p-chlorophenyl) ethauol, significantly lowers both serum and tissue cholesterol in rats and humans." Further investigation has demonstrated that drug-inhibited cholesterol synthesis in the body was due primarily to a block in a late stage of cholesterol synthesis. The present study was undertaken to study the eff...

This paper describes the idea for a research project, focusing on information mash-ups to support awareness in ubiquitous learning environments. The characteristics of the research field are identified as well as different types of awareness for the ubiquitous learner in action and on the move. The paper outlines the related problems and challenges. Furthermore it formulates the associated rese...

The explosion in popularity of SOA has led to the development of applications in ‘mash-up’ format with little regard to client’s non-functional requirements. These ‘mash-ups’ or web application hybrids are certainly a potential driving factor in the increased use of SOA based applications. This position paper outlines the need for the inclusion of a client’s non-functional requirements in the d...

Integrating tools implemented as plug-ins is a complex and time-consuming activity that requires good programming skills and a deep understanding of the underlying plug-in architecture for successful completion. Even when tools are implemented as plug-ins for a same integrated development environment (IDE), users frequently prefer to manually perform the same inefficient operations every time t...

The Web offers a huge amount of valuable information, but it is very hard and time consuming to retrieve thousands of web pages related to a concept, filter the relevant ones, analyse this information and integrate it in a knowledge repository. This paper describes one component of a knowledge management platform (h-TechSight project) that performs these tasks, the multi-agent search module (MA...

Implementation of wireless wideband transmitters using ∆Σ DACs requires very high speed modulators. Digital MASH ∆Σ modulators are good candidates for speed enhancement using interleaving because they require only adders and can be cascaded. This paper presents an analysis of the integrator critical path of two-channel interleaved ∆Σ modulators. The bottlenecks for a high-speed operation are id...

Increasing interest in multiple strain Bacillus probiotics and parietal yeast fractions as feed ingredients for egg laying hen diets has also led to food safety questions. This study was undertaken evaluate the ability of these products reduce Salmonella Enteritidis colonization. Sixty Hy-Line hens aged 56 weeks were placed individual cages fed a mash diet containing one following treatments, c...

We present an online system to manage a home library, that consist of multiple collections, such as books and CDs, using Service Oriented Architecture. Many collections can contain hundreds and thousands of books and CDs. Managing a personal collection of such magnitude could be difficult if one were to rely on using databases or spread sheets. Entering detailed information about each item is a...
