There is a lack of work focusing on i* models pre-traceability. Most of traceability work on i* models is centered on forward or backward traceability, i.e., tracing i* models to design models or design models to i* models. It seems that the stakeholders' needs and the organizational process are first-class citizens, but the requirements engineering process is not. We present in this paper our ...

Ocenie poddano wielkości oraz lokalizacje katów kappa (κ) i alfa (α) w oczach ze stwierdzona nadwzrocznością, kwalifikowanych do wszczepienia soczewek klasy premium. Badaniem objęto 67 pacjentów, 101 oczu zakresie wady nadwzroczności od +0,5 Dsph +10,62 Dsph. Zarówno przypadku kątów α, jak κ najczęstsza lokalizacja to kwadranty skroniowe dolne, a następnej kolejności górne. Stwierdzono statysty...

PURPOSE The corneal change induced by refractive procedures influence both the postoperative refractive status and the ocular spherical aberration (SA). We evaluated changes in corneal SA after three types of surface ablation: phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK), myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and myopic wavefront-guided laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS Twenty-six ey...

During the last deglaciation Earth’s climate experienced strong and abrupt variations, resulting in major changes global temperature, sea level, ocean circulation. Although proxy records have significantly improved our understanding of during this period, questions remain regarding connection between circulation evolution geotracer distributions, including those deep waters Pacific. Here we use...

The growth of Internet commerce has stimulated the use of collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms as recommender systems. A CF algorithm recommends items of interest to the target user by leveraging the votes given by other similar users. In a standard CF framework, it is assumed that the credibility of every voting user is exactly the same with respect to the target user. This assumption is no...

Purpose To investigate the reliability of ocular aberration measurement in myopic children under scotopic conditions and to validate the mathematical Zernike pupil scaling-down technique. Methods Ocular aberrations of 45 myopic children were examined under scotopic conditions via iTrace aberrometer. The intra- and intersession repeatability was evaluated for both the measured values with the ...

Over recent years there has been considerable investment in the use of technology to identify sources of text-based plagiarism in universities. However, students of the visual arts are also required to complete numerous pieces of visual submissions for assessment, and yet very little similar work has been undertaken in the area of non-text based plagiarism detection. The Spot the Difference! pr...

PURPOSE To investigate the interaction between corneal, internal, and total wavefront aberrations (WAs) and their influential factors during orthokeratology (OK) treatment in Chinese adolescents. METHODS Thirty teenagers (n = 30 eyes) were enrolled in the study; spherical equivalent refraction (SE), corneal curvature radius (CCR), central corneal thickness (CCT), WAs, and the difference in li...

The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is the largest source of atmospheric heating and moisture on Earth, energizing global energy budgets controlling ocean-atmosphere circulation. However, mechanisms driving orbital-scale changes in hydroclimate proxy records precipitation isotopic composition remain poorly known. Here, we use isotope-enabled Transient Climate Evolution (iTRACE) experiment to inve...
