The European ECSS-E-40 series of standards for the aerospace industry includes configuration as one of 16 types of non functional requirements (NFR) for embedded and real-time software. Configuration requirements are typically described at the system level as non functional requirements, and a number of concepts and terms are provided in the ECSS series to describe various types of candidate co...

Abstract In the design of autonomous systems, it is important to consider preferences interested parties improve user experience. These are often associated with contexts in which each system likely operate. The operational behavior a must also meet various non-functional requirements (NFRs), can present different levels conflict depending on context. This work aims model correlations between i...

PURPOSE Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is characterized by severe affective and physical symptoms, such as increased pain, during the late-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The mechanisms underlying hyperalgesia in women with PMDD have yet to be identified, and supraspinal pain modulation has yet to be examined in this population. The present study assessed endogenous pain inhibitory...

The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to other lipoproteins and is a key regulated component of reverse cholesterol transport. Dietary hypercholesterolemia results in increased hepatic CETP gene transcription and higher plasma CETP levels. To investigate the mechanisms by which the liver senses hypercholesterolemia, mice contai...

Purpose This study aims to measure the relationship between corporate governance and non-financial reporting (NFR) in higher education institutions (HEIs). Board effectiveness, student engagement, audit quality, Vice-Chancellor (VC) pay VC gender are targeted for analysis. Design/methodology/approach is based on content The authors used EU NFR Directive (2014/95/EU) NFR. includes environmental,...

Purpose This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework informed by literature review. deepen and broaden the understanding of relationship between corporate governance mechanisms non-financial reporting (NFR) through qualitative research approaches. Design/methodology/approach A review NFR existing frameworks leads development encourage future accounting on for NFR. Findings Few studies cons...

The nonfunctional requirements (NFR) are often captured only generically at a fairly high level, and they do not include the levels of detail necessary at this stage for the system engineers to allocate them as specific functionalities to be handled either by the software or the hardware, or a specific combination of the two. The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) series of s...
