Software engineering: Theory and practice

A book that describes and applies Software Engineering methods according to the state of the art of the subject matter; it is integrated with a proper exemplification and evolves as each topic is introduced. The material is designed for und...

Software engineering for security

Integrating Security Considerations smoothly into early life-cycle activities: uniform application of cost-benefit analyses to both functional, and security requrements; unified modeling approaches to integrate the engineering of both funct...

Agent-based software engineering

The technology of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems is expected to alter radically the way in which complex, distributed, open systems are conceptualised and implemented. The paper considers the problem of building a multi-agent sy...

Models in software engineering ? an introduction

THE PROPERNESS OF ADOBE FLASH BASIS INTERACTIVE MEDIA FOR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM LEARNING MATERIAL

This study aimed to determine the feasibility of adobe flash-based interactive media on the material of respiratory system. This research was a descriptive qualitative. The data were validated by using questionnaire. The validation was done...

An Intelligent Fuzzy System for Diabetes Disease Detection using Harris Hawks Optimization

This paper proposed a fuzzy expert system for diagnosing diabetes. In the proposed method, at first, the fuzzy rules are generated based on the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD) and then the fuzzy membership functions are tuned using th...

Enhanced Deep Learning Model for Classification of Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Images

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of the back part of the eye. The condition has a great effect on the specificity of diagnosis, the monitoring of many physiological and pathol...

Electronic Nose System for Safety Monitoring at Refineries

In this paper an Electronic Nose (ENose) is presented which is designed for both at identifying the gas type and if it is pure or not, and at estimating the concentrations of the components of that mixture of LPG gases (Methane, Hexane, or ...

Cyberattacks on Miniature Brain Implants to Disrupt Spontaneous Neural Signaling

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) arose as systems that merge computing systems with the human brain to facilitate recording, stimulation, and inhibition of neural activity. Over the years, the development of BCI technologies has shifted towa...

BP Neural Network–Based Kalman Filtering Method Under Multiple Cyberattacks

This paper proposes a Kalman-gain-driven neural Kalman filtering (KF) defense framework, termed KFDBP, for secure state estimation in cyber–physical systems (CPSs) under denial-of-service (DoS), spoofing, and replay attacks. Unlike end-to-e...

Integrative Approach to Teaching of the Circuit Design of Analog Electron Devices in the NI ELVIS Platform

Modern graduates need to work with electronic devices. On laboratory work, students conduct experiments to solve practical problems of researching real problems that arise in the design and operation of electronic devices. However, the shor...

Heat Stress in Livestock: Impacts and Ameliorative Strategies—a Review

               Heat stress is one of the most important climatic conditions which adversely affects agricultural and livestock production worldwide. High ambient temperature with direct and indirect solar radiation, wind speed and relative ...

Post-Fire Abundance Trajectories of Bird Species and Functional Groups Within an Atlantic–Mediterranean Ecotone

The Atlantic–Mediterranean ecotone of northwestern Iberia is one of the most fire-prone regions in Europe, yet post-fire avian dynamics there remain poorly documented. To characterise short- to mid-term post-fire avian trajectories in this ...

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line MHHi040-A from a female Fabry disease patient carrying c.644A>G missense mutation

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked, monogenic lysosomal storage disorder, caused by mutations in the GLA gene. GLA encodes the lysosomal hydrolase alpha-galactosidase A and enzyme deficiency leads to accumulation of its substrate globotriaos...

A Comparative Analysis of the Chloroplast Genomes of Four Polygonum Medicinal Plants

Polygonum is a generalized genus of the Polygonaceae family that includes various herbaceous plants. In order to provide aid in understanding the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationship in Polygonum at the chloroplast (cp) genome-scale l...

Functional annotation of the human retinal pigment epithelium transcriptome

Abstract Background To determine level, variability and functional annotation of gene expression of the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the key tissue involved in retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and retinitis ...
