Nowadays the decision whether to work with Software Product Lines (SPL) or not becomes a binding requirement for the strategic planning of companies. Learning how to choose the ideal tools to test a SPL is beneficial for companies in this planning process. Even though the ascending number of available software engineering testing tools, SPL testing lacks specific tools capable of supporting the...

A Software Product Line (SPL) that aims to develop context aware applications leaves challenges inherent to the SPL-based development approach and the type of application being developed (contextaware). These challenges leave open issues, like those related to how the context influences should be described. In the literature, there are studies that support the development of traditional SPL by ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Structured Product Labeling (SPL) is a document markup standard approved by Health Level Seven (HL7) and adopted by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a mechanism for exchanging drug product information. The SPL drug labels contain rich information about FDA approved clinical drugs. However, the lack of linkage to standard drug ontologies hinders their ...

SPL scoping is the activity for bounding Software Product Lines (SPL), gathering heterogeneous knowledge from diverse sources. For achieving an agreement among different stakeholders, a commonalty scope must be understood and committed to. However, this stakeholders with individual interests complex task. This paper reports experience of small Colombian software company, applying evaluating col...

Hunter, Emily, "Transcriptional Regulation of Notch target E(spl)mγ by Tramtrack69 and Putzig in Drosophila melanogaster" (2012). Abstract The Notch pathway plays an important role during development by regulating whether a cell takes on a neuronal or non-neuronal cell fate in the peripheral nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster. When Notch signaling is present in a cell, the cell is preven...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite involved in cancer development through stimulation of cell survival, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Irreversible degradation of S1P is catalyzed by S1P lyase (SPL). The human SGPL1 gene that encodes SPL maps to a region often mutated in cancers. To investigate the effect of SPL deficiency on cell survival and tran...

Background: Software product lines and Agile methods have been an effective solution for dealing with the growing complexity of software and handling competitive needs of software organizations. They also share common goals, such as improving productivity, reducing time-to-market, decreasing development costs and increasing customer satisfaction. There has been growing interest in whether the i...

The increasing complexity and cost of softwareintensive systems has led developers to seek ways of reusing software components across development projects. One approach to increasing software reusability is to develop a Software Product-line (SPL), which is a software architecture that can be reconfigured and reused across projects. Rather than developing software from scratch for a new project...

The most accepted method of secondary prophylaxis in rheumatic fever (RF) has been an injection of 1,200,000 units of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) every 4 weeks, but recurrences have been reported in some patients despite such a prophylaxis program. The WHO recommended BPG injections every 3 weeks in high risk patients and situations due to some published data in favor of inadequacy of on...
