Plant protein foods contribute approximately 65% of the per capita supply of protein on a worldwide basis and approximately 32% in the North American region. These sources of protein are discussed in relation to their amino acid content, human amino acid requirements, and dietary protein quality. Mixtures of plant proteins can serve as a complete and well-balanced source of amino acids for meet...

In early 2013, the Commissioners at the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued requirements for the NRC staff to pursue an exploratory effort on an initiative to enhance safety by applying probabilistic risk assessment to determine the risk significance of current and emerging reactor issues in an integrated manner and on a plant-specific basis. Recognizing that each operating nuclear po...

This paper outlines the adaptation of IFLA's Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) for development of a metadata scheme to represent palm leaf manuscripts (PLMs) and facilitate their retrieval in digital collections. The FRBR model uses a structured, four-level hierarchy to represent an intellectual work with multiple titles, editions or formats. Because FRBR focuses on repre...

Xylella fastidiosa causes bacterial leaf scorch in landscape trees, including mulberry. We determined the draft genome of the mulberry strain Mul-MD in order to gain a better understanding of the molecular basis of strain divergence, host specificity, nutrient requirements, and pathogenicity, as well as to develop genome-based specific detection methods.

Im vielen Umfeldern wird in zunehmendem Maße gefordert, für Produkte nicht nur bei Projektabschluss, sondern über deren gesamte Lebensdauer hinweg ihre Kompatibilität mit den Anforderungen zu gewährleisten. Requirements Engineering (RE) ist in solchen Umfeldern als ein integraler Bestandteil des Product Lifecycle Managements (PLM) zu realisieren. Der Beitrag stellt einige Konzepte des PLM vor u...
