In market-driven software evolution, the objectives of a requirements engineering process include the envisioning and fostering of new requirements on existing packaged software products in a way that ensures competitiveness in the market place. This paper describes an industrial, market-driven requirements engineering process which incorporates continuous requirements elicitation and prioritisati

Steady-state and transient-state kinetic experiments have been performed to test the proposal that there is a direct (channelled) transfer of NADH from one dehydrogenase to another if the two enzymes exhibit distinct chiral coenzyme specificity (A-side vs. B-side). The results lend no support to this proposal, but are fully consistent with a free-diffusion mechanism of NADH transfer irrespective o

In this work it is shown that domains of ordered dipoles are formed in large droplets made from dipolar particles provided that the dipole-dipole interaction between nearest neighbors is larger than the thermal energy. The size of the domains grows almost linearly with the size of the droplets for droplets containing 1000-30 000 particles. The largest domains occupy around 25-35% of the droplet vo

Ab initio calculations including relativistic and correlation corrections were performed to obtain energy spectra and lifetimes for all states of first five configurations of Cl X.

In the ammoxidation of toluene over a V2O5 catalyst, the variation of initial rates with partial pressures of oxygen, toluene and ammonia was determined for formation of carbon oxides. Dependencies obtained were analyzed and expressed in terms of rate equations. It was found that CO and CO2 are initial products formed at different sites, none of which are involved in selective reactions. The mecha

Let π:M→B be a horizontally conformal submersion. We give necessary curvature conditions on the manifolds M and B, which lead to non-existence results for certain horizontally conformal maps, and harmonic morphisms. We then classify all such maps between open subsets of Euclidean spaces, which additionally have totally geodesic fibres and are horizontally homothetic. They are orthogonal projection

PURPOSE: To describe the introduction and performance of proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the daily routine of a modern standard MR unit. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Over an 8-month period, 52 patients with brain lesions were studied with 1H-MRS, using SE and STEAM sequences for chemical-shift imaging and single-volume spectroscopy. The quality of the spectra was graded from 1 (best) to 3, and the mai

OBJECTIVES: To investigate a broad range of occupational, hobby, and lifestyle exposures, suggested as risk factors for Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). METHODS: A case-control study, comprising 255 Ph+CML patients from southern Sweden and matched controls, was conducted. Individual data on work tasks, hobbies, and lifestyle exposures were obtained by telepho

The distribution of polarization in the overcast sky has been practically unknown. Earlier the polarization of light from heavily overcast skies (when the Sun's disc was invisible) has been measured only sporadically in some celestial points by point-source polarimetry. What kind of patterns of the degree p and angle a of linear polarization of light could develop after transmission through a thic

Vehicle design is characterized by a high number of compromises. The special role of human factors in the process is to ensure that the compromises do not occur at the expense of the driver and passengers. Within the automotive industry there is a need for the development of inexpensive and efficient ergonomic tools, facilitating a fast and cost effective car development process as well as discuss

Background: Serology is often used for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It is important to identify specific antigens that can distinguish between the presence or absence of antibodies against M. pneumoniae. The two proteins, P116 and P1, are found to be immunogenic. By using these in ELISA it is possible to identify an immune response against M. pneumoniae in serum samples. Results: A reco

In this paper we propose that the foraging behavior of benthic fish can be used to assess the current state of shallow lake ecosystems. Shallow lakes may display shifts between clear and turbid states, where sediment resuspension by benthivores foraging on benthic invertebrates contributes to maintaining the turbid state. We suggest that the giving-up density (GUD) of benthic fish foraging in expe

Adaptation of a xylose-utilizing genetically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates by cultivation during 353 h using medium with increasing concentrations of inhibitors, including phenolic compounds, furaldehydes and aliphatic acids, led to improved performance with respect to ethanol production. The remaining xylose concentration in the medium at the end

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien presenterar en relationell ansats till förhandlingar, dvs en förhandlingsanalys i vilken relationerna mellan aktörerna står i centrum. Det innebär att istället för att se till enskilda förhandlares strategier etc, läggs tonvikten vid att förstå interaktionen mellan förhandlarna. Således har studier som söker slå fast nationella särdrag eller kulturellt betingadeThis study proposes the relational approach to negotiations to further our understanding of the negotiation relationship. At the center is negotiators' outlook on the other and themselves in East-West cooperation projects. This approach to negotiations is pluralist. Consequently, a number of theories have been utilized. First, using feminist theorizing in philosophy and International Relations, th
