Large software products are very difficult to understand. One way to cope with this problem is to provide tools generating different software’s views. Unfortunately, there are so many different entity types and relationships in a large software product that building a specific tool for each view is not cost effective. This paper presents GSEE, a Generic Software Exploration Environment. GSEE is...

Response styles constitute a formidable challenge for cross-cultural research. In this article, three different response styles are discussed (acquiescence, extremity scoring, and social desirability). Acquiescence responding (ARS) is then integrated into a larger classical test theoretical framework, which allows for an examination of the various roles that ARS may play in cross-cultural resea...

this study sougth to the effect of occ pulp fractionation on produced paper strength properties improvement. using a pressure screen, occ pulp was devided to tow distinct fractions of accept ratio (short fibers) and reject ratio (long fibers) in accordance with optimum condition of fractionation based on the previous studies. in the next stage, long fiber stream was refined and recombined with ...

A new improvement based on outlet fractionation and feedback has been developed for simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography. In this contribution, this fractionation and feedback SMB (FF-SMB) concept is extended to the general scenario which integrates a simultaneous fractionation of both outlet streams. A model-based optimization approach, previously adopted to investigate single fractionati...

Background: The exposure of cell lines to low-dose irradiation leads to changes at molecular level, which may induce adaptive response. We examined radio-adaptive doses effect on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) and human fetal fibroblasts (MRC5) cell line followed by hyper and hypo fractionation regimes, with main purpose to decrease cell viability in HT29, and at the same time...

Granite-hosted magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits are major sources of Cu, Mo, Sn, Li, and W, originating via mineralizing fluids exsolved from volatile-saturated magmas. We show how trace elements in zircon sampled the granite-hosted Zaaiplaats tin deposit, Bushveld Complex, preserve a record both enrichment incompatible metals during magma fractionation those arising mineralization proces...

BACKGROUND Although altered protocols that challenge conventional radiation fractionation have been tested in prospective clinical trials, we still have limited understanding of how to select the most appropriate fractionation schedule for individual patients. Currently, the prescription of definitive radiotherapy is based on the primary site and stage, without regard to patient-specific tumor ...

The order Heterocorallia is an enigmatic, anatomically distinct group of calcifying Palaeozoic corals with unclear affinities to other, either extinct or modern cnidarian lineages. Here, we present results microstructure and stable isotope studies on exceptionally well-preserved skeletons two species the heterocoral Oligophylloides from Famennian (Upper Devonian) Anti-Atlas, Morocco Holy Cross ...

The Sedemte Prestola pluton is an intermediate to acid plutonic body of Variscan age (308.7 ± 9.1 Ma). Despite its small size, several petrographic varieties are present: syenites, quartzsyentes and granites. It composed potassium feldspar, quartz, sodic-calcic amphibole; biotite, when present, often rimmed by amphibole or strongly altered; zircon, titanite, apatite ilmenite the accessory phase...
