Models are gaining importance in software development, for instance in the MDD field, as well as in other disciplines such as biology and physics. Hence, tool support is needed to manage these models and metadata about the models. Model repositories support this trend by managing these model artifacts. While setting up model and metadata repositories, architects have to make several fundamental...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the direct cost of reusable and disposable aprons in a public teaching hospital. METHOD Cross-sectional study of quantitative approach, focusing on the direct cost of reusable and disposable aprons at a teaching hospital in northern Paraná. The study population consisted of secondary data collected in reports of the cost of services, laundry, materials and supplies divisi...

conclusions surgical wound infections are less common by using reusable retrieval bag during laparoscopic appendectomy procedure. also, using reusable retrieval bag has less cost. patients and methods one hundred twenty laparoscopic appendectomies performed over one year, were included in this retrospective study. the patients were divided into 2 group; group a was the one in which la was done ...

Reuse is an important mechanism to increase productivity and to reduce time and costs during software development. Although source code is the most commonly reusable asset, other types of assets can also be reused, such as requirements, business processes, analysis and design models, etc. In this context, it is important that the knowledge about reusable assets and its management are available ...

Sequence, granularity and taxonomy of learning objects are three open problems that will be faced in developing learning system. Concerning these problems and other ideas about educational technological standards and instructional design, the article mainly discusses the reusable strategies of learning objects. Firstly, based on discussing learning objects’ characteristics, the article designs ...

An alternative approach to developing reusable components from scratch is to recover them from existing systems. Although numerous techniques have been proposed to recover reusable components from existing systems, most have focused on implementation code, rather than software architecture. In this paper, we apply architectural slicing to extract reusable architectures from existing architectur...

This paper presents time proven methods and strategies for creating, managing, and accessing a library of reusable software components and also software engineering strategies for designing and building reusable components with proper planning and execution, these methodologies will bring significant cost saving. In addition, cost-benefit guidelines are developed to help an organization decide ...

two  simple  protocols  for  the  synthesis  of  1,  2,  4,  5-  tetrasubstitutedimidazoles  using  nano-spa  as  a  reusable,  eco-  friendly,  inexpensive,  and  efficient  catalyst  are  reported.  short   reaction  times,  high  yields,  scale-up  and  easy  workup  are  the   advantages of these protocols.

Programming languages often hide their implementation at a level of abstraction that is inaccessible to programmers. Decisions and tradeoffs made by the language designer at this level (single vs. multiple inheritance, mixins vs. Traits, dynamic dispatch vs. static case analysis, etc.) cannot be repaired easily by the programmer when they prove inconvenient or inadequate. The artificial distinc...
