Object technology is a growing approach for the development of quality software. It provides a sophisticated environment to support good software engineering practice. Use of object technology should not be restricted to languages but should encompass full lifecycle support by use of an object-oriented (OO) development methodology or process. Integrated process-focused OO approaches to software...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of corn residue harvest method on animal performance and diet digestibility. Experiment 1 was designed as a 2 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement of treatments using 60 individually fed crossbred steers (initial BW = 283; SD = 32 kg; n = 12). Factors were corn residue harvest method (highstem and conventional) and supplemental RUP at 2 concentrat...

RUP is a comprehensive software development process framework that has gained a lot of interest by the industry. One major challenge of taking RUP into use is to tailor it to specific needs and then to introduce it into a development organization. This study presents a review and a systematic assembly of existing studies on the tailoring and introduction of RUP. From a systematic search for stu...

Metabolizable protein (MP) supply and amino acid balance in the intestine were manipulated through selection of highly digestible rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) sources and protected methionine (Met) supplementation. Four ruminallycannulated, multiparous Holstein cows averaging 193±13 days in milk were used in a 4×4 Latin square design to assess N utilization and milk production responses to ...

Effects of supplemental RDP and RUP on nutrient digestion, N metabolism, urea kinetics, and muscle protein degradation were evaluated in Nellore heifers () consuming low-quality signal grass hay (5% CP and 80% NDF, DM basis). Five ruminally and abomasally cannulated Nellore heifers (248 ± 9 kg) were used in a 5 × 5 Latin square. Treatments were the control (no supplement) and RDP supplementatio...

Photocatalytic systems for the reduction of aqueous protons are strongly pH-dependent, but the origin of this dependency is still not fully understood. We have studied the effect of different degrees of acidity on the electron transfer dynamics and catalysis taking place in a homogeneous photocatalytic system composed of a phosphonated ruthenium tris(bipyridine) dye (RuP) and a nickel bis(dipho...

Professionelle Softwareentwicklung ist heute ohne den Einsatz eines Vorgehensmodells nicht mehr vorstellbar. Die Firma Rational Software hat mit dem Rational Unified Process (RUP) [KRU98] ein Prozessmodell entwickelt, das zahlreiche Entwicklungstätigkeiten, Ergebnisse und Abhängigkeiten der Softwareentwicklung im Detail beschreibt. Der RUP wird von Rational Software als Produkt vertrieben und w...

In the last decades the complexity of software development projects had a significant increase. This complexity emerges from the higher degree of sophistication in the contexts they aim to serve and from the evolution of the functionalities implemented by the applications However, many software corporations have a reduced dimension (micro, small or medium) which imposes a considerable constrain...
