Software quality is a complex concept containing a large number of quality criteria. These quality criteria are usually interactive where preference outcome of one criterion over another criterion is always influenced by the remaining criteria. However, to avoid complexity researchers always tend to construct independent criteria which causing some bias effect in evaluation. This paper presents...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the phenomenon of phenotypic resistance to antimycobacterial antibiotics and to determine whether this was associated with cell age or the presence of lipid bodies. METHODS The accumulation of lipid-body-positive [lipid-rich (LR)] cells was followed using cell staining and flow cytometry. LR cells of Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium marinum, Mycobacterium ...

In spite of its significance for everyday and philosophical discourse, the explanatory connective ‘because’ has not received much treatment in the philosophy of logic. The present paper develops a logic for ‘because’ based on systematic connections between ‘because’ and the truthfunctional connectives.

The purpose of the present study is to propose a scheme to estimate whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) in the whole-body resonance and GHz frequency regions. The motivation is that WBA-SARs in the child models in these frequency regions have been reported to approach to the basic restrictions in the international guidelines/standards. In the resonance frequency region, we pr...
