Time, effort and money involved in maintaining software has always been considered greater than its development time. Also, its vagueness in prediction at early stage of development makes the process more complex. Researchers and developers are working on devising various techniques/algorithms for better prediction. Present paper conducts a detailed survey on these techniques and identified sev...

Software Development is a dynamic activity. Requirements of the stakeholders keep on changing throughout the lifecycle of a project development. These Volatile requirements are considered as a major risk factor during system development in the software industry. Requirement Volatility is found to be having a significant impact on schedule & cost overrun in software projects. This paper discusse...

The present study makes an investigation into expression of genes related to cardiac development in chicken, quail and chicken-quail hybrids during the early stage of embryogenesis. Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expressions of Nkx2-5, GATA4 and TBX5 in the heart of chicken, quail and chicken-quail hybrids embryos during the 3rd to 7th days of incubation. Results showed that NKX2-5 mRNA ...

theoretical review of ‘mining pit lakes’ indicates that like natural lakes such lakes display a huge diversity. they are typically in a non-equilibrium state with respect to their surroundings. hence, at the decommissioning phase of mining operation a detailed technical study are required on different aspects of such created water bodies considering its morphometry, geology, hydrology, water qu...

Given the increasing importance of globally distributed software development (GDSD) over the last decade, it is surprising that empirical research in this area is still in the very early stage. The few existing studies report that due to various gaps or distances between different sites, traditional coordination and control mechanisms usually become less effective in dispersed projects. They fu...

This paper presents a new method of engaging older participants in the process of application and IT solutions development for older adults for emerging IT and tech startups. A new method called SPIRAL (Support for Participant Involvement in Rapid and Agile software development Labs) is proposed which adds both sustainability and flexibility to the development process with older adults. This me...

Current aspect-oriented languages express aspects in many different ways. This diversity contributes to several problems when trying to model aspects in an early stage of the software lifecycle. This paper discusses a software modelling approach, called CoCompose, which supports aspect-oriented mechanisms without committing to one specific mechanism. A model made with CoCompose can be translate...

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is commonly used during different phenological stages of fruit growth and development in almond trees to reduce the amount of irrigation water applied without or with only very small reductions in yield. Therefore, to study the effects of deficit and cutoff irrigation during different phenological stages of fruit growth and development in almond cv. “Mamaei” p...
