In a typical software development project, a requirements document summarizes the results of the requirements analysis and becomes the basis for subsequent software development. In many cases, the quality of the requirements documents dictates the success of the software development. The need for determining the quality of requirements documents is particularly acute when the target application...

Research and practice are focusing on development, validation and harmonization of technologies and methodologies to ensure complete traceability process throughout the food chain. The main goals are: scale-up, implementation and validation of methods in whole food chains, assurance of authenticity, validity of labelling and application of HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) to t...

A -dimensional -square matrix is defined and certain properties of such matrices are investigated. Two particular graph constructions involving -dimensional -square matrices are given and the graphs so constructed are called matrix graphs. Properties of matrix graphs are determined and an application of matrix graphs to completely independent critical clique is provided. Some attention is g...

We improve the best known bounds on the average degree of online k-list-critical graphs for k > 6. Specifically, for k > 7 we show that every non-complete online k-list-critical graph has average degree at least k−1+ (k−3) 2(2k−3) k4−2k3−11k2+28k−14 and every non-complete online 6-list-critical graph has average degree at least 5 + 93 766 . The same bounds hold for offline k-list-critical graphs.

this paper aims to assess the application of support vector machine (svm) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. to this end, 10000 four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

adopting the critical discourse analysis framework, in general, andfairclough’s (1989) critical text analysis, in particular, the current study aims atexamining 3 aspects of meaning, namely social relations, subject positions, andcontents in the conversation as well as vocabulary and grammar parts of passages 1(an american textbook) and first certificate (a british textbook) to find out whether...

this study aims at investigating the linguistic representation of male and female social actors in the four corners 4 textbook, drawing on cda. more specifically, van leeuwen’s (1996) framework, which highlights the connection of linguistic and social practices, is used as the analytical framework to examine gendered social actors in this english language teaching (elt) textbook. to this end, c...

Historically, both clinicians and cognitive scientists have used visual object naming measures to study naming, and lesion-type studies have implicated the left posterior, temporo-parietal region as a critical component of naming circuitry. However, recent results from behavioral and cortical stimulation studies using auditory description naming as well as visual object naming in left temporal ...
