Arterial velocity pulse index (AVI) and arterial pressure-volume index (API), new indicators of arterial stiffness, are risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Regular aerobic exercise decreases arterial stiffness. In fact, pulse wave velocity (PWV), index of arterial stiffness, is lower in endurance-trained than in untrained young adults. However, the effect of regular aero...

The Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides a low-level debugging application programmers interface (API), which can be used to implement traditional source code debuggers but can also be useful to implement other dynamic program introspection tools. This paper describes our experience in using this API for the implementation of a high-level debugger. The API is difficult to use f...

Corresponding Author: Marini Abu Bakar Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract: seMeja is an ongoing research to develop a desktop system for university environment. To support the development of this system, an Application Programming Interface (API) is needed to provide access to online university services such as course notes, course schedules and...

Achromobacter protease I (API) is a lysine-specific serine protease which hydrolyzes specifically the lysyl peptide bond. A gene coding for API was cloned from Achromobacter lyticus M497-1. Nucleotide sequence of the cloned DNA fragment revealed that the gene coded for a single polypeptide chain of 653 amino acids. The N-terminal 205 amino acids, including signal peptide and the threonine/serin...

Incorrect handling of errors incurred after API invocations (in short, API errors) can lead to security and robustness problems, two primary threats to software reliability. Correct handling of API errors can be specified as formal specifications, verifiable by static checkers, to ensure dependable computing. But API error specifications are often unavailable or imprecise, and cannot be inferre...

With the rapid adoption of REpresentational State Transfer (REST), more software organizations expose their applications as RESTful web APIs and client code developers integrate RESTful APIs into their applications. When web APIs evolve, the client code developers have to update their applications to incorporate the API changes accordingly. However client code developers often encounter challen...

Nowadays, software is widely applied to increase accuracy, efficiency, and convenience in various areas in our life. So, it is essential to use software in our recent computing environments. Despite of the valuable applications of software, malicious behaviors caused by vulnerability of software threaten our secure computing environments. So, it is important to identify and detect malicious beh...

Developers often face difficulties while using APIs. API usage patterns can aid them in using APIs efficiently, which are extracted from source code stored in software repositories. Previous approaches have mined repositories to extract API usage patterns by simply applying data mining techniques to the collection of method invocations of API objects. In these approaches, respective functional ...

Several components of honeybee venom are known to cause allergenic responses in humans and other vertebrates. One such component, the minor allergen Api m 6, has been known to show amino acid variation but the genetic mechanism for this variation is unknown. Here we show that Api m 6 is derived from a single locus, and that substantial protein-level variation has a simple genome-level cause, wi...

The Doppler-derived ankle pressure index (API) is a useful indicator of the necessity for peripheral vascular reconstruction of the lower extremities. But the API at rest dose not reflect the functional capacity of leg circulation, especially in the early stage of disease. Therefore, an asymptomatic but hemodynamically significant lesion in one leg is sometimes missed by pressure measurement at...
