Although the subjective workload assessment technique (SWAT) has been widely used, it has two main problems: it is not very sensitive for low mental workloads and it requires a time-consuming card sorting pretask procedure. In this study are presented five variations of SWAT in an effort to overcome the limitations. Four of the variants used the continuous SWAT subscales while one used the disc...

Sedimentation is a leading global problem that affects the environment and dams by reducing live storage capacity of reservoirs life expectance dams. Hence, prioritizing watersheds according to risk soil loss crucial for extending useful reservoirs. The objectives this study were assess sediment flow in Genale Dawa-3 reservoir, identify subbasins are prone erosion, evaluate impact different man...

Severe burn injury produces a plethora of metabolic abnormalities which contribute to the prolonged morbidity of burn survivors. The authors have recently demonstrated trans-differentiation of white adipose tissue (WAT) after burn trauma, toward a more thermogenic phenotype. However, the impact of burn injury on subcutaneous WAT (sWAT) morphology in humans is unknown. Here, the authors studied ...

Obese women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have more inflammation in their subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) than age-and-BMI similar obese women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). We aimed to investigate whether WAT fatty acids and/or oxylipins are associated with the enhanced inflammatory state in WAT of the T2DM women. Fatty acid profiles were measured in both subcutaneous and...

Abstract Assessing the impact of land-use/land-cover (LULC) change and nutrient loads on water systems is a key issue, where different uses raise water-quality concerns. This study aimed to enumerate extent LULC from 1986 2018, its measurable impacts losses major pollution areas based SWAT in Bilate catchment, southern Ethiopia. The sequential uncertainty fitting version two (SUFI-2) algorithm ...

Dieser Beitrag stellt das ” Security Workflow Analysis Toolkit“ (SWAT) vor, eine Plattform für die formal fundierte Analyse von Geschäftsprozessen. Ausgehend von als Muster formalisierten Sicherheitsanforderungen dient SWAT als Basis für die Analyse von Prozessmodellen und Prozesslogs. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt anhand von Beispielen, welche Arten von Analysen mit SWAT möglich sind und wie S...
