There has been a request to publish more research results on business impacts of agile adoption in software team. This is an empirical study done in one Fortune 500 company where agility was adopted while the team was working on in order to deliver a product consisting of responsive web design. The adoption resulted in Pragmatic Agile approach, where the agility and Hero team approach was found...

The analysis of the electronic-structure changes along IRC paths for double-proton-transfer reactions in the formamide dimer (R1), formamide-thioformamide system (R2), and the thioformamide dimer (R3) was performed based on the extended-transition-state natural orbitals for chemical valence (ETS-NOCV) partitioning of the reaction force, considering the intra-fragments strain and the inter-fragm...

Fluctuation Theorem(FT) has been studied as far from equilibrium theorem, which relates the symmetry of entropy production. To investigate the application of this theorem, especially to biological physics, we consider the FT for tilted rachet system. Under, natural assumption, FT for steady state is derived.

Innovative IT-basierte Services im Hochschulsektor sind aufgrund der bereits ausgeprägten heterogenen und historisch gewachsenen IT-Landschaft mit zahlreichen individuellen IT-Lösungen kritisch zu betrachten. Eine Konsolidierung der heterogenen IT-basierten Services wird durch die Einführung von leistungsfähigen Campus-Management-Systemen sowie den Einsatz von eLearning-Systemen in der Lehre an...

[1] We present direct observations of nonmigrating diurnal tides in the 90–270 km range inferred from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) wind imaging interferometer (WINDII). A prominent zonal wavenumber 4 appears in daytime zonal winds, extending to 180 km. We interpret this signature as an eastward‐propagating diurnal wavenumber 3 (DE3) viewed from the satellite perspective. This ...

2014 The deuterium quadrupole splitting, 03BDQ, of C6D6 dissolved in a number of discotic liquid crystals has been measured over the temperature range of the mesophase stability. Three different types of mesophases were used : (i) Dho, which is a columnar hexatic phase with ordered molecular stacking; (ii) Drd, which is a rectangular biaxial columnar phase with disordered molecular stacking ; (...

In a recent issue of Brain, we reported on the generation and characterization of a mouse model of the rare disease L-DOPA-responsive dystonia (DRD). Here, we discuss the utility of these mice for understanding broader disease processes and treatment strategies. Using specific experimental designs that either work "forward" from genetic etiology or "backward" from the symptomatic presentation, ...

We have conducted a spectral line survey of IRC +10216 using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to an average sensitivity of < or approximately 95 mK. A deconvolution algorithm has been used to derive the continuous single-sideband spectrum from 330.2 to 358.1 GHz. A total of 56 spectral lines were detected of which 54 have been identified with 8 molecules and a total of 18 isotopomers. T...

The paucity of literature in pediatric neurotransmitter diseases indicates a gap in our understanding of neurochemistry and the clinical phenomenology. However, the dramatic clinical responses to dopaminergic therapy in dopa-responsive dystonias opened avenues for rationalizing this therapeutic approach in other pediatric neurotransmitter disorders. This chapter aims to link up dopaminergic the...
