The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a saleable product from Rational/IBM.The RUP unifes the entire software development team and seeks to optimizethe productivity of each and every team member by putting the...

Four ruminally and duodenally cannulated Suffolk wether lambs (34.5 +/- 2.0 kg initial BW) were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square-designed experiment to examine the effects of ruminal protein degradability and supplementation frequency on site and extent of digestion in lambs consuming a low-quality forage diet. Wethers were fed a basal diet of mature crested wheatgrass hay (4.2% CP) for ad libitum ...

Adequate predictions of rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) supplies are necessary to optimize performance while minimizing losses of excess nitrogen (N). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the original Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS) protein fractionation scheme and to develop and evaluate alternatives designed to improve its adequacy ...

This position paper summarises some critical arguments on the Rational Unified Process (RUP). In particular, claims advertising the RUP e.g. to be iterative and architecture-centric are discussed and its core concepts like phase, iteration, workflow and milestone are investigated. It is argued that their definitions and relationships to each other lack clear structure and are too complex and ov...

Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is a new paradigm aiming to solve problems that are not adequately addressed by the Object-Oriented paradigm. Therefore, it seems appropriate to adapt software processes showing when and how crosscutting concerns should be considered. The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is one of the most widely used software development processes focusing on object-or...

We consider upward planar drawings of directed graphs in the plane (UP), and on standing (SUP) and rolling cylinders (RUP). In the plane and on the standing cylinder the edge curves are monotonically increasing in y-direction. On the rolling cylinder they wind unidirectionally around the cylinder. There is a strict hierarchy of classes of upward planar graphs: UP ⊂ SUP ⊂ RUP. In this paper, we ...

The studied hypothesis is that the herbicide glyphosate (GLY) can affect oxidative balance in hydrophobic intracellular medium non-target Chlorella vulgaris cells. Analytical GLY and RoundUp (RUP) supplementation, affected growth profile. A significant 42% decrease cellular biomass stationary (St) phase was observed cultures supplemented with either 5 µM of or RUP, as compared to control cultur...

Starting from the Rational Unified Process RUP and the ARIS life cycle model the ARIS Unified Information System Development Process AUP is designed. Similar as the RUP is developed from the classic waterfall model as an iterative and incremental process to build software, the AUP is developed from the ARIS life cycle model as an iterative and incremental process to build business information s...
