Prioritized use cases as a vehicle for software inspections

The authors combine principles from software inspection, use cases, and operational profile testing to create the usage-based reading technique, in which the user reads a design document guided by prioritized use cases. UBR takes the user's viewpoint on software and the faults it might contain. Evaluation showed that the method is more effective and efficient in finding faults that are critical to

Defense mechanisms: Theoretical, Research, and Clinical Perspectives

Contains 27 chapters on defense mechanisms with authors from 10 countries, 6 of them from Lund. The coverage is comprehensive including theories of psychological defense, methods to describe defense empirically, studies of defense in various clinical groups, etc. The book can be used, in its entirety or in parts, as a text for students in clinical psychology.

Dynamical random graphs with memory

We study the large-time dynamics of a Markov process whose states are finite but unbounded graphs. The number of vertices is described by a supercritical branching process, and the edges follow a certain mean-field dynamics determined by the rates of appending and deleting: the older an edge is, the lesser is the probability that it is still in the graph. The lifetime of any edge is distributed ex

Topical glucocorticosteroids in rhinitis: mode of action

The introduction of nasal glucocorticosteroids, more than 30 years ago, represents the most important therapeutic progress in rhinitis management since the introduction of the first generation of antihistamines. Our knowledge of the mode of action of glucocorticosteroids in the nose has improved as the airway mucous membrane of the nose is easily accessible for investigation. However, the exact me

Vertical, monovocalic and other impossible vowel systems: a review of the articulation of the Kabardian vowels.

The North West Caucasian language Kabardian has a minimal vowel system, the analysis of which has engendered significant controversy. Phonetically, Kabardian is interesting for the extensive assimilation of its few vowel phonemes to the surrounding consonants. Two published descriptions of these assimilations by J. C. Catford ("The Kabardian Language," Maitre Phonetique, 3rd series, 1942, 77, 15-1

Modelling the vegetation of China using the process-based equilibrium terrestrial biosphere model BIOME3

1 We model the potential vegetation and annual net primary production (NPP) of China on a 10' grid under the present climate using the processed-based equilibrium terrestrial biosphere model BIOME3. The simulated distribution of the vegetation was in general in good agreement with the potential natural vegetation based on a numerical comparison between the two maps using the DeltaV statistic (Delt

An automated fluorescent single strand conformation polymorphism technique for high throughput mutation screening

OBJECTIVE: To develop a high throughput mutational detection method by multiple fluorescence-labeled polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. METHODS: A total of 27 known mutations including 22 substitutions, 3 insertions (1, 2 and 7 bp) and 2 deletions (1 and 2 bp) in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4 alpha, glucokinase and HNF-1 alpha genes were tested. During nested PCR, amplified fragment

Population and the Development Crisis in the South

This volume is the result of a conference on population and development held in Båstad, 17 - 18 April 1991. with the participation of social scientists, health specialists and development administrators from the Scandinavian countries. The contributions to the conference cover a wide range of issues. Starting with a critical assessment of conventional thinking on demographic prospects, the volume

Effects of high intensity focused ultrasound on the intervertebral disc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ultraljud brukar oftast förknippas med diagnostiska metoder såsom fosterdiagnostik men kan även användas för terapeutisk behandling. Terapeutiskt ultraljud bygger på att ljudet absorberas i vävnaden och därigenom ger upphov till en ökad temperatur. Temperaturökningen är beroende av ultraljudets intensitet samt ultraljudsabsorptionen i den aktuella vävnaden. Genom att foThe purpose of this study was to study and try to optimise high intensity focused ultrasound treatment of the intervertebral disc. We demonstrated that it was possible to heat intervertebral discs with HIFU delivered by 50 or 5 mm diameter ultrasound transducers. Finite element studies indicated that it would be possible to heat the disc to a temperature of 65ºC or above through an extradiscal m

Xafs Study of Co(Ii) at the Zno-Aqueous and Zns-Aqueous Interfaces

Co(II) adsorption at ZnO- and ZnS-aqueous interfaces was studied with the XAFS technique. The results show the presence of both 4- and 6-coordinated oxygen-ligated Co(II) on ZnO, corresponding to Co-O distances of 1.95 and 2.1 Angstrom, respectively. At ZnS two Co-O distances are also indicated and a Co-S correlation at 2.36 Angstrom is revealed. Higher shell analysis indicates a fraction of biden
