In the software industry today, we have many techniques to help us model the system before we start the implementation. As we describe later in this chapter, software quality attributes gives the architects the possibility ...

Denne oppgaven har to mål, finne utfordringer og fordeler med å bruke Participatory Design (PD) i et prosjekt for å finne systemkrav, og finne ut i hvilken grad PD kan informere systemvalg. For å finne ut av dette ble det ...

This article is based on a study of site formation processes of dwellings, site contexts, and terms relating to dwelling types and attributes. Archaeological evidence discovered during the Ormen Lange project and dated to ...

The discovery of genetic loci associated with complex diseases has outpaced the elucidation of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) ...

Macrobioerosion is a common process in marine ecosystems. Many types of rock-boring organisms break down hard substrates, particularly carbonate rocks and calcareous structures such as dead corals and shells. In paleontology, ...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 has highlighted urgency for a more efficient and comprehensive paradigm for antiviral development. ...

Discovery of efficient anti-cancer drug combinations is a major challenge, since experimental testing of all possible combinations is clearly impossible. Recent efforts to computationally predict drug combination responses ...
