Being a software architect is hard. Besides the obvious difficulties with technical issues, architects often face difficult team situations, or struggle with their managers for influence, and their architecture work may become ignored. Let's face it: Having to deal with a software architect is hard, too. Sometimes their architecture work is insufficient, or there are good reasons to ignore it. ...

Various automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) analyzers for the detection of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) are now commercially available in clinical laboratories and are replacing conventional enzyme immunoassays. We investigated the performance of four anti-HCV CLIAs (the Architect Anti-HCV assay on the Architect i2000 system, the Vitros Anti-HCV assay on the Vitros ECiQ Immu...

the aim of this study is to investigate human resource competencies in iranian petroleum company. this study is a descriptive-analytical approach. in this research, we examined human resource competencies in six main categories including; credible activist, culture & change steward, talent manager/organizational designer, strategy architect, operational executor, business ally, as well as 21 su...

A fully automated chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (Architect HBsAg QT) was used for the detection and quantitation of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The assay is capable of processing up to 800 HBsAg tests per hour. The concentration of HBsAg is determined by utilizing a previously generated Architect HBsAg calibration curve. Architect HBsAg QT sensitivity was found to be aroun...

Glossary Baseline (Model Baseline): In Enterprise Architect, a Baseline refers to a snapshot of a Package at a particular point in time. The snapshot is stored in the Model Repository as compressed XMI and forms the basis of Enterprise Architect's Compare and Merge functionality. Check-in: The process of submitting your changes to the Version Control Repository. In Enterprise Architect, you exe...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the analytical performance of the Abbott ARCHITECT Cyclosporine (CsA) immunoassay in 7 clinical laboratories in comparison to liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), Abbott TDx, Cobas Integra 800, and the Dade Dimension Xpand immunoassay. The ARCHITECT assay uses a whole blood specimen, a pretreatment step with organic reagents to p...

Software architecture documentation helps people in understanding the software architecture of a system. In practice, software architectures are often documented after the fact, i.e. they are maintained or created after most of the design decisions have been made and implemented. To keep the architecture documentation up-to-date an architect needs to recover and describe these decisions. This p...

Three automated immunoassay kits for anti-Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) IgM-Architect, (Abbott Laboratories, USA), Elecsys (Roche Diagnostics, Germany), and ADVIA Centaur (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., USA)-were compared. We included 178 consecutive samples, for which an anti-HAV IgM test was requested at Seoul National University Hospital from September 2009 to January 2010. Reviewing of medi...
