Distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSP) is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, but often difficult to diagnose reliably. We evaluated the cross-sectional association between three point-of-care devices, Vibratron II, NC-stat(®), and Neurometer(®), and two clinical protocols, MNSI and monofilament, in identifying those with DSP, and/or amputation/ulcer/neuropathic pain (AUP), the two ou...

Starting from the Rational Unified Process RUP and the ARIS life cycle model the ARIS Unified Information System Development Process AUP is designed. Similar as the RUP is developed from the classic waterfall model as an iterative and incremental process to build software, the AUP is developed from the ARIS life cycle model as an iterative and incremental process to build business information s...

Although unintentionality is one of the key elements common to most traditional definitions of automaticity (e.g., Posner and Snyder, 1975; Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977; Hasher and Zacks, 1979; Jacoby et al., 1993; Tzelgov, 1997; Moors and De Houwer, 2006), more recent approaches pointed out that many automatic processes are affected and even elicited by intended processes (e.g., Bargh, 1994; H...

To provide rapid and accurate detection of DNA markers in a straightforward, inexpensive, and multiplex format, an alternative surface-enhanced Raman scattering based probe was designed and fabricated to covalently attach both DNA probing sequence and nonfluorescent Raman tags to the surface of gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuP-RTag). The intensity of Raman signal of the probes could be controlled th...

Development of sensitive detectors of Aβ aggregates and effective inhibitors of Aβ aggregation are of diagnostic importance and therapeutic implications for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment. Herein, a novel strategy has been presented by self-assembly of peptide conjugated Au nanorods (AuP) as multifunctional Aβ fibrillization detectors and inhibitors. Our design combines the unique high NIR ...

Many software companies and software development approaches were introduced during the past forty years to produce valuable software within time and with minimal costs. To meet this kind of requirements SCRUM methodology were introduced. SCRUM is one of Agile methodology. This paper presents a review about all the agile methodologies and recommends SCRUM is best among those methodologies. Keywo...

Agricultura Urbana e Periurbana (AUP) consubstanciam-se pela cooperação por consequência em manifestações de cooperativismo. A realidade da AUP nas cidades brasileiras é marcada limitações, entretanto, tem no cooperativismo uma potencial alternativa para atenuar estes entraves, bem como avançar melhores perspectivas. Objetivou-se nesta pesquisa demonstrar o pode auxiliar enfrentamento problemas...
