BACKGROUND Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established treatment option for chronic pain. Prior to permanent implantation, temporary trials are performed to evaluate the SCS treatment. Currently there are multiple manufacturers with varying fundamental differences in delivery and resultant paresthesias. However, trials are typically limited to one manufacturer for the patient to evaluate. ...

in this research, old magazine (omg) recycled fiber and glass fiber (gf) were mixed at different levels of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (based on weight) with two levels of 50% and 60% polypropylene (pp) and then the produced composites evaluated compared to those from net polypropylene. on the basis of obtained results from normalization equations in different treatments done, two treatments has been...

A tonoplast enriched fraction was obtained from Zea mays L. coleoptiles by isopycnic centrifugation of microsomal membranes in a sucrose step gradient. At the 18/26% interface chloride-stimulated and nitrate-inhibited proton pumping activity coincided with a Mg(2+)-ATP dependent accumulation of 3-O-methyl-d-glucose (OMG) as determined by a membrane filtration technique using (14)C-labeled subst...

A solid business model (describing the business strategy, a business vocabulary, business rules as well as business processes) plays an essential role when building an IT-architecture for agile enterprises. Recently the Object Management Group (OMG) has developed a set of specifications that standardize such business models. This presentation briefly introduces the OMG specifications Business M...

An increasing number of applications are now being developed in a distributed setting. The main focus of this paper is on OMG/CORBA, a widely recognised middleware standard for heterogeneous and distributed application integration. We discuss CORBA's object model and its representation in the OMG interface de nition language (IDL). Programming language bindings to IDL are discussed; static and ...

An increasing number of systems have a distributed software architecture. The main focus of this paper is on OMG/CORBA, a widely recognized middleware standard for heterogeneous and distributed system construction. We discuss CORBA’s object model and its representation in the OMG interface definition language (IDL). We show how distributed system components written in different programming lang...

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) 1 is a visual, object-oriented, and multipurpose modeling language. While primarily designed for modeling software systems, it can also be used for business process modeling. Since the early 70s, a large variety of languages for data and software modeling like entity-relationship diagrams [2], message sequence charts [5, 10], state-charts [9], etc. have been ...

Noninvasive assessment of intestinal permeability in vivo is based on the measurement of urinary excretion of orally administered sugar probes. It is expressed as a ratio, usually lactulose/rhamnose or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG)/rhamnose. In both endotoxemic and control rats that were receiving fluid, we observed an increase in the recovery of lactulose and 3-OMG but not rhamnose in both grou...

The OMG fact-oriented approach to assurance allows full traceability between the system facts and the assurance claims, so that the system facts can be gathered by automated tools and used as evidence to justify assurance claims. OMG Software Assurance Ecosystem defines a stack of standards to enable interoperability for tools, services and machine-readable content for assurance of existing sof...
