Data Modeling (DM) is an important area in the Information System (IS) learning. In particular, in the IS analysis phase business analysts need to provide a comprehensive notation to avoid misunderstanding between software engineers and customer. Teaching DM is a challenging task, mainly because it lays great emphasis on theory. It remains often abstract, not consensual and complex to implement...

The objectives of this research were to study the varieties and relationships of yield and quality traits under two harvesting management procedures concerning forage dry matter (DM yield) and 5 quality traits such as Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD%), Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC%), Crude Protein (CP%), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF%) and total ash in tall wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum). In th...

Direct or indirect methods can be used to determine the DE and ME of feed ingredients for pigs. In situations when only the indirect approach is suitable, the regression method presents a robust indirect approach. Three experiments were conducted to compare the direct and regression methods for determining the DE and ME values of barley, sorghum, and wheat for pigs. In each experiment, 24 barro...

In order to estimate the nutrient value of three dominant range species; Festucaovina, Trifolium montanum and Alopecurus textilis via proximate analyses and gas productiontechnique, samples were collected in three stages during grazing period from 26th May to 1thSeptember in six areas of Sabalan Mountain in North West of Iran. Results showed thatTrifolium montanum as a legume had higher values ...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) due to suppressive effect on cellular immunity can impact on progression of tuberculosis (TB). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of DM on the epidemiological, clinical and para clinical aspects of pulmonary TB. PATIENTS AND METHODS The information of 148 admitted pulmonary TB patients in infectious ward of Razi hospital in Ahvaz...

BACKGROUND Early screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is essential for improved prognosis and effective delay of clinical complications. However, testing for high glycemia often requires invasive and painful blood testing, limiting its large-scale applicability. We have combined new, unpublished data with published data comparing salivary glucose levels in type 2 DM patients and controls ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) with the prevalence and severity of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (DC) and determine the impact of age and gender on this relationship. METHODS West Haven criteria was used to prospectively evaluate 352 consecutive patients with DC for the presence of HE. Det...

The chemical composition, degradability coefficients (in situ) and ruminal-intestinal disappearance(mobile bag procedure) of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) were evaluated for olive cake (OC)silages treated (DM basis) with additives as follows: (1) untreated OC, (2) OC + 0.5% urea, (3) OC + 0.4%formic acid, (4) OC + 8% molasses, (5) OC + 0.5% urea + 8% molasses, (6) OC + 0.5% urea + 0.4%...

OBJECTIVES Neurodynamic exercises aim to improve neural mechanosensitivity in order to promote pain-free movement and function. People with diabetes mellitus (DM) may be candidates for neurodynamic exercises to address common DM-related impairments such as reduced lower extremity range of motion (ROM) and altered neural mechanosensitivity. However, no studies have examined the safety and immedi...
