Engineering design research : anno 2000

This paper presents a three-level taxonomical framework to systematize the research aspects and approaches of engineering design. As contextual categories of engineering design research the authors identify: (i) human assets, (ii) design knowledge, (iii) design philosophy, (iv) design theory, (v) design methodology, (vi) design technology, (vii) realm of artifacts, (viii) realm of processes, an...

Human prorenin.

Human prorenin is the enzymatically inactive biosynthetic precursor of renin. Recent interest has focused on the posttranslational sorting and processing of prorenin to renin since markedly increased levels of circulating prorenin have been associated with both physiological and pathological changes. These observations raise the question of whether prorenin processing may be a regulatory event ...

Anno Stolper: The Credibility of Certifiers

It is often argued that certifiers have an incentive to offer inflated certificates, although they deny it. In this paper, we study a model in which a certifier is paid by sellers, and may offer them inflated certificates, but incurs costs if doing so. We find that the certifier may face a commitment problem: The certifier offers inflated certificates if the costs of offering the first inflated...

The GDB Human Genome Database Anno 1997

The value of the Genome Database (GDB) for the human genome research community has been greatly increased since the release of version 6. 0 last year. Thanks to the introduction of significant technical improvements, GDB has seen dramatic growth in the type and volume of information stored in the database. This article summarizes the types of data that are now available in the Genome Database, ...
