Case studies contain valuable information about development records. They are, however, usually presented as textual documents. Here we begin an initial design for viewing case study data. A prototype for viewing case study data is created using information visualization techniques for the purpose of testing against existing techniques. The evaluations show that the new design is just as usable...

Iron biomarkers were developed to define the size of iron stores and the adequacy of the iron supply required to meet functional needs. Approximately 80% of the iron delivered to tissues through the circulating plasma pool will be incorporated into hemoglobin. Consequently, with the exception of serum ferritin, iron biomarkers are measures of iron sufficiency for erythrocyte production. They ha...

1 Discriminant analysis based on continuous and discrete variables: application to systematic zoology 11

EUNITE, the European Network on Intelligent Technologies for Smart Adaptive Systems started January 1, 2001. Its targets were to join forces within the area of Intelligent Technologies for better understanding of the potential of hybrid systems and to provide guidelines for exploiting their practical implementations and particularly, to foster synergies that contribute towards building Smart Ad...

The specification of a simple telephone system is used to illustrate two general features of specifications in Z: • how the use of schemas can drastically reduce the amount of rewriting required when developing specifications; and • how the direct use of mathematics makes it possible to describe desired properties of an implementation without constraining the implementor’s choice of algorithm. ...

The aim on this lecture is to present a pragmatic diagnostic guide to tumorous lesions in the spleen, whether reactive or neoplastic and not to provide an update or a compendium of the disorders that commonly involve the splenic white and red pulp. The lecture is based on four case studies that are employed to illustrate a practical approach to solving the issue of newly discovered splenic mass...
