Requirements Engineering (RE) contains many different practices to elicit, communicate and document customer requirements. Developers need to understand these requirements properly in order to achieve project success by fulfilling them [1]. A prerequisite for developers’ understanding of relevant requirements and their meaning is successful requirements communication [2]. Therefore, the selecte...

Requirements engineering (RE) is concerned with the elicitation of requirements from users (stakeholders), analysis of these requirements and the generation of a coherent specification for downstream software engineering processes. Present-day RE projects typically involve large, diverse and distributed groups of stakeholders, who specify their requirements mostly using informal notation. In th...

Comparative studies lasting between 59 - 63 days were carried out using the N-balance method to investigate effect of groundnut cake supplementation on N-metabolism and digestible crude protein (DCP)requirements three breeds steers maintained all-roughage rations hay fresh dry Cynodon rulenfuensis var robustus The results indicated that N intake (/day) Increased ed appreciably with supplementat...

Software requirements elicitation is a difficult process with many existing problems, and no single elicitation method solves all these problems. We introduce a new way of looking at the requirements elicitation process. Our model shows the requirements elicitation problem as a process of merging the users’ wants and the users’ needs into the same entity. In the context of our model, existing p...

?We used an allometric approach to compare the minimum nitrogen requirements (MNR) and the total endogenous nitrogen loss (TENL) of nectarand fruit-eating birds with those of omnivorous birds. These two parameters were 4x higher in omnivores than in nectarivores and frugivores. In nectarivorous frugivorous birds, MNR was 152.8 mg N kg-076 day-1; in omnivorous birds, it was 575.4 mg N kg-076 day...

When choosing an insulin formulation, factors like duration of action, potency, species-source, convenience and price should be considered. Another important factor that had not received much consideration is day-to-day variability in insulin action. While onset of action, duration of action and overall time-action profile are important when attempting to mimic physiological needs, minimizing d...

Calcium requirements of North American adolescents were set at 1300 mg/day based on data from white girls. Calcium requirements for Asian-American adolescents have not been studied. Using metabolic balance protocols and a range in calcium intakes, skeletal calcium retention was determined in Chinese-American adolescents. A sample of 29 adolescents, 15 boys aged 12 to 15 years and 14 girls aged ...
