are distributed in different ways and face particular challenges. Some researchers focus on problems of global distribution and related lessons learned,4,5 whereas others emphasize distribution as an advantage in software development that speeds the development process—for example, in OSS projects.6 However diverse the project and whatever the perceived benefits or drawbacks, understanding the ...

An improvement on the voice detection algorithm using global soft decision (GSD) is made in this paper. In GSD method, the speech and noise are modelled by the presumed probability density function, e.g. Gaussian pdf. We propose that the estimation and modelling of the signal is done in the domain of filterbank output which widely used in most speech processing applications. Since the output of...

Background: A study has been conducted to assess two useful radiation protection indices, the annual per-capita effective dose equivalent (AED) and the genetically significant dose (GSD), from conventional diagnostic radiography in 10 counties with more than 1,886,000 inhabitants in Khorasan province in Iran. Materials and Methods: The health centre authorities of Khorasan province were asked t...

Introduction: Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD 1) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting in severe impairment of glucose production and large accumulation of liver fatty acids (steatosis). The phenotype of GSD I results from a defect in the glucose-6 phosphatase complex (G6pc). Despite of a strict diet, patients with GSD 1 develop, with age, multiple hepatocellular adenoma (...

Fracton topological order (FTO) is a new classification of correlated phases in three spatial dimensions with ground-state degeneracy (GSD) scaling up system size and fractional excitations which are immobile or have restricted mobility. With the origin GSD, FTO immune to local perturbations, whereas strong enough global external perturbation expected break order. The critical point transition ...

Agile software development (ASD) has emerged as a practice-led initiative which offers great promise in improving software productivity. However some confusion exists as to its relationship with Lean Software Development (LSD). Some treat LSD as more or less synonymous with ASD whereas others view LSD as a different concept. The definition and positioning of LSD relative to ASD is important as ...

This study measures hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt activity, glycolytic rate, and glucose transport in PMN and lymphocytes of patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type lb as compared with controls and with GSD Ia patients. HMP shunt activity and glycolysis were significantly lower in intact PMN cells of GSD Tb patients as compared with GSD Ia patients and with controls. These activiti...
