To achieve their business objectives, software developing companies employ different technical and managerial strategies concerning architecture and reuse. These strategies include component-based development, software platforms, product lines and highly configurable code bases. Frameworks for describing these strategies have recently emerged, presenting them in orders of increasing maturity, with
BACKGROUND: Improved surgical techniques and oncological treatment render many advanced pelvic tumors amenable to curative resection. We evaluated morbidity, survival, and quality of life (QoL) after extended pelvic procedures. METHODS: From January 2003 to November 2008, 85 patients underwent multivisceral pelvic resection; 87% had colorectal or anal malignancies. Preoperatively, endoscopy and im
In this paper, we investigate channel estimation and signal detection for UWB communications. We first investigate channel estimation for UWB systems and then develop a minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) Rake receiver with joint timing and MMSE equalization. The key property of the estimator is that it uses sampling at UWB symbol rate (200Msamples/s), while estimating all relevant channel parameters
This paper presents examples of different aspects of design in a disability context with the aim of revealing some of its fundamentals. It particularly emphasizes situated aspects of research: the need for being there, with the users in their daily lives – where the action is.
Proteomic experiments can be difficult to handle because of the large amount of data in different formats that is generated. Samples need to be managed and generated, data needs to be integrated with samples and annotation information. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) can be used to overcome some of the data handling problems. In this chapter, we discuss the role of a LIMS in the
The aim of the project MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) was to produce information that can be cited in the preparation of national and EU decisions concerning speed management and speed control equipment standards. For this purpose, the project looked for answers to three key questions: 1)What are acceptable ranges of speeds? 2)What are the key factors influencing drivers’ ch
