consumers’ willingness to pay for nonmarket commodities such as wildlife, quality of the environment and forest services (including timber production, water conservation, soil conservation, oxygen supply, carbon sequestration, recreation services and wildlife preservation) is a measure of value of these resources. in recent years the contingent valuation has been used to determine this and othe...

This study investigates the effect of four types of oral corrective feedback, namely, explicit elicitation, implicit elicitation, explicit recast and implicit recast on the most commonly mispronounced phonological features among Iranian EFL learners through immediate uptake and retention. Five classes were randomly categorized into four experimental groups and one control group, each with 18 in...

Purpose – Requirements Engineering (RE) process constitutes the earliest phase of the information system development life-cycle. Requirements elicitation is considered as one of the most critical activities of this phase. Moreover, requirements elicitation is still a challenge, especially in the distributed environment of so-called inter-company cooperative information system. The purpose of th...

Dose–response profiles for both induction and elicitation phases were evaluated with seven chemical allergens using the guinea pig maximization test. Considering the risk assessment of contact sensitization in its practical sense, the profile of elicitation would be more critical than that of induction, and it should be evaluated in a maximally induced human population or experimental animals. ...

The purpose of this research is to discuss about the requirement elicitation techniques and issues. Some issues are discussed in the paper that is in the requirement elicitation process and solving these issues is important for the implementation of requirements. The paper also provides an overview of the importance requirements elicitation to study the nature of the process. Requirement Elicit...

Requirements elicitation is the first activity in the requirements engineering process. It includes learning, surfacing and discovering the requirements of the stakeholders of the developed system. The elicitation process involves actors of different roles, backgrounds and domain knowledge. Therefore, it is a communication-intensive process. Overcoming communication barriers between analysts an...

Elicitation is the study of statistics or properties which are computable via empirical risk minimization.While several recent papers have approached the general question of which properties are elicitable, wesuggest that this is the wrong question—all properties are elicitable by first eliciting the entire distributionor data set, and thus the important question is how elicitable. ...

There are many problems associated with requirements engineering, including problems in defining the system scope, problems in fostering understanding among the different communities affected by the development of a given system, and problems in dealing with the volatile nature of requirements. These problems may lead to poor requirements and the cancellation of system development, or else the ...
