As an joint effort between UNU-IIST and University of Macau, we are developing a tool for automatic prototype generation and analysis (AutoPA). In this paper, we present the initial version AutoPA1.0 that implements the transformations from UML system requirement models to executable prototypes. An UML system requirement consists of a use-case model and a conceptual class model. Each use case i...

Most models developed for poultry are linear to the point where genetic potential is reached. Models reliant on the premise that growth rate determines requirements based on some fixed rate of nutrient utilization do not adequately represent the biological phenomena involved. Therefore, a dichotomy between the accepted theories of nutrient utilization in animals and the assumptions of mathemati...

mining and metallurgical projects are among those that require the most sizeable invest-ments undertaken in iran. one target of the current development plan and the ministry of mines and industries has been to attract foreign investment in mining projects. a survey of world-class mining companies was conducted to determine their expectations and in order to recommend a frame work for iran aimed...

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Tecoiote Framework is used in conjunction with other libraries by several physical simulations. This paper briefly describes the design and use of Tecolote’s component architecture. A component is a C t t class that meets several require ments imposed by the framework to increase its reusability, configurability, and ease of replacement. We discuss both the moti...

This chapter focuses on medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which is vital to achieve metabolic control in patients suffering from this disease. The nutritional goals for people with T1DM are reviewed, which aim at maintaining near-normal blood glucose levels by coordinating insulin therapy, diet, and physical activity patterns. A nutrition prescription is given,...

Nurses were found to be using computers mainly for carrying out administrative tasks, such as updating records, rather than as information tools to support evidence based practice, or patient information needs. Nurses discussed the systems they used, the equipment provided, and their skills, or more often their lack of skills. The need for support was a frequent comment, most nurses feeling tha...

To optimize the technological process of manufacturing copper wire coated with solder POIN-52 grade, optimal modes for tinning temperature, linear velocity, diameter diamond die and flux were identified. It was found that best is achieved when cleaning surface a by method electrochemical degreasing. The results tests showed that, in terms mechanical electrical parameters meets require-ments ele...
