Software reusability has become much interesting because of increased quality and reduce cost. A good process of software reuse leads to enhance the reliability, productivity, quality and the reduction of time and cost. Current reuse techniques focuses on the reuse of software artifact which grounded on anticipated functionality whereas, the non-functional (quality) aspect are also important. S...

Increasing pressures on physicians demand effective time management and jeopardise professional satisfaction. Effective time management potentially increases productivity, promotes advancement, limits burnout and improves both professional and personal satisfaction. However, strategies for improving time management are lacking in the current medical literature. Adapting time management techniqu...

OBJECTIVE Growing evidence demonstrates a relationship between excess health risk and preventable productivity loss. There is a need to quantify how much lost productivity is avoidable through employer-sponsored health management interventions. This study introduced the Normal Impairment Factor (NIF) to recognize the amount of productivity loss that cannot be mitigated through health management...

Investigation of factors affecting total and partial productivity with applying these factors for reforming producers' economical/ technical management may provide a proper base for enhancing productivity and profitability as well, and then leading a more sustainable situation for Pistachio orchards in the future. In this paper with respect to scattering type of statistical population, a multi ...

Management factors to optimize the productivity of the weaned pig include communicating the proper message to barn staff, sanitation and barn preparation practices, healthy pigs of maximum weight and age entering the barn, and feeding management practices. Clearly, these factors are interrelated and important to optimize nursery productivity.

Brazil has the largest commercial beef cattle herd in the world (over 190 million head in 2006) [1], with cultivated pastures occupying about 150 million hectares of its territory [2]. On a biome basis, the most extensive pasture occupation is found in the Cerrado (~ 546,251 km, amounting to about 26.8% of the total biome area and 36.8% of the total pasture area in Brazil), the Brazilian savann...

The unresolved problems of improving software engineering management require a broader systemic approach of investigating related issues like software development productivity. The paper links software engineering management to research on software cost estimation and on factors affecting software development productivity. It examines ways for the systemic incorporation of all issues influencin...

In this study, we aimed to improve rice farmers’ productivity and profitability in rainfed lowlands through appropriate crop nutrient management by closing the yield gap during dry season of Indonesia. The Integrated Crop Management package, involving recommended practices (RP) from Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research Development (IAARD), were compared current at ten farmer-participator...

This paper presents the results of a study conducted at the University of Maryland in which we assessed the impact of reuse on quality and productivity in OO systems. Reuse is assumed to be a very effective strategy for software industry to build high-quality software. However, there is currently very little empirical information about what we can expect from reuse in terms of productivity and ...
