The quantification of the bed grain size distribution (GSD) river surfaces is primarily conducted through manual approaches in field. These methods are time consuming and not able to accurately represent spatial diversity rivers. Recently, several software programs procedures have been developed using semi-automatic automatic estimate GSD from digital imagery. purpose this study compare softwar...

BACKGROUND Gallstone disease (GSD) is a common chronic disease in the Western hemisphere, yet environmental and genetic factors may be responsible for the variations in the prevalence of GSD among populations. AIM To analyze the relationship of the ApoE and FABP2 polymorphisms with diet, physical activity and emotional health in patients with GSD from West Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHODS A tot...

In addition, we have taken advantage of GSD to implement under Mnova the quantitative referencing strategy known as PULCON [5]. It is well known that when dealing with biological samples containing lipids and proteins, one can not use an internal standard to perform absolute quantification of metabolites. This is due to the fact that all possible reference compounds (such as TSP or DSS) interac...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Renal failure is a major complication in glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I). We studied the natural course of renal function in GSD I patients. We studied differences between patients in optimal and nonoptimal metabolic control and possible renoprotective effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Thirty-ni...

Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), a key enzyme in glucose homeostasis, causes glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD-Ia), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, nephromegaly, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, and lactic acidemia. G6Pase is an endoplasmic reticulum-associated transmembrane protein expressed primarily in the liver ...

In a global software development project, distributed teams need to have a consistent view of the system even in the face of frequently changing requirements. Thus how precisely requirements and changes therein are communicated to remote developers becomes a critical issue. In this position paper, we hypothesize that a test-driven methodology may help keep development across multiple sites cons...

Software development has become a globally sourced commodity. Software development processes such as requirements elicitation, development of components and maintenance tasks are often distributed across sites and countries. This research paper focuses on the distribution of the testing process, which is not a straightforward task. The research presented here has examined the management of virt...

OBJECTIVE To study the relation between muscle force, bone mass, and metabolic control in patients with glycogen storage disease type (GSD 1). STUDY DESIGN Distal radius bone mass and density were evaluated in 19 patients with GSD 1 (15 GSD 1a, 4 GSD 1b) by means of peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Grip force was quantified with a dynamometer. RESULTS Height, weight, bone mass, ...

Despite the current trend towards global software development, many software enterprises lack effective media for communication and collaboration. Moreover, social media are gaining attraction especially in private settings but are largely neglected in the context of distributed software development. Therefore, the goal of this design-oriented research endeavor is to develop a methodology and a...

In this paper, the author discusses key elements that expedite the globalization, and how the globalization impacts the information systems development. In addition, this paper presents the motivations of global software development and issues associated global software development. Finally, some possible solutions for issues are provided.
