This paper presents an environment to support high-level database programming in the multi-paradigm declarative programming language Curry. We define an application programming interface (API) that abstracts from the concrete database access methods. The API supports transactions and exploits Curry’s type system to ensure a strict separation between queries and updates. In order to ensure datab...

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used for estimation of powder blend homogeneity and manufacturing control of a medicinal product powder mixture containing active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Aiming at initiating a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) activity, the first step was a stationary mode at-line evaluation. In this, the content of pharmaceutical active compound in the powder mi...

In contrast to the increasing popularity of REpresentational State Transfer (REST), systematic testing of RESTful Application Programming Interfaces (API) has not attracted much attention so far. This paper describes different aspects of automated testing of RESTful APIs. Later, we focus on functional and security tests, for which we apply a technique called model-based software development. Ba...

This contribution discusses the data transmission aspects of API semantics for native ATM services. Speci cally, this contribution: 1. clari es the semantics of the send and receive primitives presented in the baseline document 94-0150R5. 2. presents an alternative model for data transmission that is appropriate for emerging applications with high bandwidth and low latency requirements. This al...

Web services and cloud computing have revolutionized the way software is developed, deployed, and consumed. As a consequence, there has been a proliferation of web services, which developers make accessible to users via web application programming interfaces (web APIs) and cloud-based deployment technologies. Because this model significantly simplifies and expedites deployment of web APIs, it a...

Abstract In this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of API X65 pipeline steel. The results of the developed model was compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of Zener-Hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial functio...

A new small-scale continuous linear motion pharmaceutical filtration prototype was designed, fabricated, and tested. The goal of this unit is to filter an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) from a mixture of API molecules, ethyl acetate, and possible contaminants. This unit is important in the development of a small-scale continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing process by Novartis, which wo...

Behavioral malware analysis is a powerful technique used against zero-day and obfuscated malware. Additionally referred to as dynamic analysis, this approach employs various methods achieve enhanced detection. One such method involves using machine learning deep algorithms learn from the behavior of However, task weight initialization in neural networks remains an active area research. In paper...
