This paper puts forward the view that the life-cycle model of system development has been allowed to make the transition from a useful intellectual tool for discussing specific aspects of the process to a definitive statement of what the process actually “is”. We argue that this hinders the discussion of Requirements Engineering in fundamental ways, and that challenges to the supremacy of this ...

of their peaceful island, which both threatened their ageing industrial supremacy and recalled to them the restive barbarians at the peripheries of their far-flung empire. Pick shows convincingly how British doctors and writers alike used a language which enabled them to deny simultaneously the existence of degeneration in their land (and therefore its cure by political means) yet identify and ...

The inclusion of pharmacists in the healthcare system of a developing country like Pakistan has always been a subject of debate among the healthcare professionals (HCPs), especially physicians, who have long ruled the healthcare system alone and who have had a long-held position of supremacy. The common argument against the inclusion of pharmacists is the dynamics of the healthcare system, and ...

\Nonlinear Schrr odinger Equations, Wavelength Divison Multiplexing and Four Wave Mixing" In the limit of large frequency spacing the multisoliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrr odinger equation (NLS), which models the evolution of nonlinear waves in optical bers, are investigated. In Fourier space the individual pulses are found to always be widely separated, and hence can be easily, measure...

Climate change will shortly be assuming centre stage when Copenhagen hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference in early December 2009. In Copenhagen, delegates will discuss the international response to climate change (i.e. the ongoing increase in the Earth's average surface temperature) and the meeting is widely viewed as the most important of its kind ever held (http://en.cop15.dk/)....

Critique and Praxis can be read as a remarkable intellectual history of critical theory in the broadest sense, which demonstrates highly sophisticated, original understanding its concepts methods, historical, social political contexts, well unquestioned assumptions limitations. Harcourt’s scholarship depth thought are impressive. But & is much more than that. It genuine intervention within, maj...
