Software engineering is a new engineering discipline. Our understanding of what constitutes good software engineering skills is limited and must improve. Using the Personal Software Process (PSP), as a context for conducting empirical research in software engineering, is one way of improving our understanding. This paper examines the defect removal situation for a group of students within the c...

A method for probabilistic forecast of agricultural yield depending on meteorological variability, i.e. forecast of agrometeorological resources, is discussed. Forecast is based on the category of meteorologically possible yield (MPY)–the maximum possible yield for a given variety in the existing meteorological conditions. The forecasting process is realized by a potato production process model...

In many industrial applications, the quality of a process or product can be characterized by a function or profile. Autocorrelation between profiles is becoming increasingly common due to, for example, on-line data collection with high-frequency sampling. Therefore, the basic assumption of independent profiles for process capability analysis is not valid. This paper aims at evaluating the proce...

BACKGROUND The use of plasma-derived immunoglobulin G (IgG) is increasing, and the number of diseases, including immunodeficiencies, neurological diseases and autoimmune conditions, treated with intravenous IgG (IVIG) is expanding. Consequently, there is a great need for high-yield production processes for plasma-derived IgG. The aim of this work was to develop a high-yield process leading to a...

Peanut is grown mostly in rainfed areas where drought is a recurring problem. Peanut genotypes with high transpiration efficiency (TE) use less water and produced yield better under drought conditions. Specific leaf area and SPAD chlorophyll meter reading are used as surrogate traits for TE. N2 fixation (NF) is also used as a surrogate trait for yield under drought. The objective of this study ...

The results of bonding and stress testing of Cu/Sn-Cu bonded dice and Cu-Cu thermocompression bonded dice at 10μm and 15μm pitch in large area arrays are shown. The interconnect bonding process pressure and temperature required for the formation of low resistance (<100 mΩ), high yielding (99.99% individual bond yield), and reliable interconnects is described. In the case of Cu/Sn-Cu, use of a m...

in order to study the phenological and morphological characteristics, comparison of yield and yield components, correlation between traits and determination of the parameters affecting seed yield, a field experiment was carried out at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2007. ten lentil genotypes were compared by a randomized complete block design with three replications. the analysis...

In order to evaluate canopy and organs temperature depression (TD) under heat stress conditions and the effects of plant morphology on organs temperature depression and their association with grain yield, two field experiments were conducted using six wheat cultivars (Behrang, Chamran, Kauz, Koohdasht, Karim and Montana) planted on three dates (early, optimum, late) in 2014-2015 and 2015 -2016 ...

A facile and highly efficient protocol was applied successfully to synthesize 4H-pyrimido[2,1,b]benzimiazoles and 4H-pyrimido[2,1,b]benzothiazoles through one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reactions of 2-aminobenzimidazole or 2-aminobenzothiazole with dimedone and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of guanidinium chloride under solvent-free conditions. The reactions us...
