Simulation and the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) are both fundamentally process focused with common objectives. Both are tools used to advance process capabilities and performance. Can organizations apply simulation to their business practices to help them achieve higher levels of CMMI maturity? Which specific Process Areas would simulation add the most value? Simulation projects ...

The approximate number system (ANS) is thought to be a building block for the elaboration of formal mathematics. However, little is known about how this core system develops and if it can be influenced by external factors at a young age (before the child enters formal numeracy education). The purpose of this study was to examine numerical magnitude representations of 5-6 year old children at 2 ...

This annual report on graduate software engineering education describes recent SEI educational activities, including the 1988 SEI Curriculum Design Workshop. A model curriculum for a professional Master of Software Engineering degree is presented, including detailed descriptions of six core courses. Fifteen university graduate programs in software engineering are surveyed.

In an article that appeared in a prior volume of this journal, 1 an overview was presented of the formation, structure and scope of purpose of the SUNY Eye Institute (SEI), a collaborative research and educational consortium that initially comprised of members of the ophthalmology departments from the four health science Participants included SEI-affiliated faculty, graduate students, postdocto...

UNLABELLED We aimed to determine whether the ACE A11860G genotype is associated with small for gestational age babies (SGA) and to determine whether the association is affected by environmental factors and fetal sex. Overall, 3234 healthy nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies, their partners and babies were prospectively recruited in Adelaide, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. Data an...

Ophthalmic research has developed into a multidisciplinary enterprise that requires the collaboration of basic and clinical scientists to understand and treat diseases that affect virtually every step in vision: from the entrance of light into the eye, through transduction in the retina, to higher processing in the visual cortex. It is a challenge to create and support a critical mass of divers...

Burch und Kohn haben in [4] bzw. [7] folgendes bewiesen: R sei ein kommutativer noetherscher Ring und n eine natiirliche Zahl, die homologische Dimension eines torsionslosen R-Moduls ist; dann existiert ein von hiichstens drei Elementen erzeugtes Ideal in R, dessen homologische Dimension gleich n ist. Buchsbaum und Eisenbud [3, p. 135, Conjecture, vgl. such Theorem 7.21 vermuten sogar, ‘jede” e...
