Planning is very important to run a project so that to develop expert systems or knowledge based systems, that activity has certain particularities that turn it into a complex one. It has to be considered human effort (person/time) cost and time in order to plan. For this there are metrics, that enable to obtain information and to generate knowledge of the evolution and the scope of the project...

Five Balkan paprika varieties at physiological maturity were investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy in order to discriminate the differences which stemmed from their genetic variability since plants grown under same experimental conditions. The spectra obtained using 532 nm wavelength. In an effort find best classification power, several pre-processing methods applied: 1) baseline correcti...

Cumulative pregnancy rate has been significantly increased since frozen-thawed embryo transfer was applied in ART cycles. This method has become an essential part of IVF/ICSI treatment. Luteal phase support has been proven to be associated with higher rate of live birth rate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and progestrone have been successfully used for luteal phase support in ovarian stim...

BACKGROUND There is a growing interest in teledermatology in today's clinical practice, but the maturity of the evaluation research of this technology is still unclear. OBJECTIVES This systematic review describes the maturity of teledermatology evaluation research over time and explores what kind of teledermatology outcome measures have been evaluated. METHODS Systematic review of literatur...

High adult mortality rate is expected to select for early maturation. However, physiological constraints or size-related reproductive benefits might select for delayed maturation, especially in small-bodied species. Additionally, the mating system and the relative intensity of mate competition can modify the timing of maturation. Here, we investigate the influence of mortality rate and mating s...
