What Should You Know Before Developing a Service Identification Approach

In this paper, we answer a set of research questions that are required to develop service identification approach based on the analysis of objectoriented software. Such research questions are: (1) what is a service, (2) how are services different from software components, (3) what are types of services, (4) what are existing service identification approaches that consider service types into acc...

What every pediatrician should know about liver transplantation

Liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for children with end-stage liver disease.  Improvement in outcomes (allograft and patient survival) has led to widespread use of pediatric LT worldwide. This success is due to improvement in patient selection, transplant surgery, anesthesia/postoperative care and immunosuppression management. This review will focus on different aspects of LT whi...

What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic

Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually every op...

What Clinicians Should Know

Case presentation: A 36-year-old nonsmoking, normotensive South Asian man presented to the emergency department of a community hospital with retrosternal chest pain of 60 minutes’ duration. His 12-lead ECG demonstrated 10 mm of STsegment elevation in leads V2 through V6, and he received fibrinolytic therapy within 90 minutes of symptom onset. His pain resolved, but his ST segments only partiall...
