background: logistic discriminant method was applied to differentiate malignant from benign in a group of patients with proved breast lesions on the basis of ultrasonic parameters. materials and methods: our database include 273 patients' ultrasonographic pictures consisting of 14 quantitative variables. the measured variables were ultrasound propagation velocity, acoustic impedence and at...

Validation is one of the software engineering disciplines that help build quality into software. The major objective of software validation process is to determine that the software performs its intended functions correctly and provide information about its quality and reliability. This paper identifies general measures for the specific goals and its specific practices of Validation Process Are...

gully erosion constitutes a major problem in natural resources management and soil conservation, which causes severe land degradation in arid and semi-arid areas. therefore, determination of gully prone area and identification of gully conditioning factors can help to managers and decision makers to reduce the hazard of gully erosion. the aim of this study is to predictthe gully erosion suscept...

Safety validation of changes to an individual organization’s local ATM system has become common practice in Europe. However, the SESAR program is planning changes in air traffic operations in Europe that go much further than changes to a local ATM system. This paper identifies the issues on which safety validation approaches need extensions, in order to move from safety validation of changes to...

J.E. Braun, Ph. D., P.E. Purdue University This paper describes the development and validation of an improved mechanistic model for predicting the thermal performance of an area constrained ice storage system. Experimental data was obtained from a fully instrumented thermal storage test cell located within the Herrick Laboratories, Purdue University. Results for both charging and discharging cy...

The establishment of geographic object based image analysis (GEOBIA) as a group of methodologies for analysing and classifying remotely sensed data as objects suggests accuracy assessment should incorporate some form of geometric validation of the classified objects against the real world objects they are meant to represent. Site-specific accuracy assessment methods, such as those associated wi...

The requirement validation is vital for every successful software development. In this process, the requirements from the users are checks and analyzed with its consistency, completeness and correctness. The validation of requirements is a very vast research area in software engineering. In this presented article, some quality research approaches are cited for the software engineering researche...

BACKGROUND Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) systems are frequently used as part of a stormwater harvesting treatment trains (e.g. biofilters (bio-retentions and rain-gardens) and wetlands). However, validation frameworks for such systems do not exist, limiting their adoption for end-uses such as drinking water. The first stage in the validation framework is pre-validation, which prepares inf...

Three simple, precise and accurate spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the estimation of emtricitabine in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. Emtricitabine exhibits maximum absorbance at 282.0 nm in method A. The amplitude shows at 269.0-298.0 nm in method B and method C is based on calculation of area under curve (AUC) in the wavelength region of 272.0-292.0 nm. The drug obeys...
