Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDefect Types and Software Inspection Techniques: A Systematic Mapping StudyEdson OliveiraJr, Ricardo Theis GeraldiSoftware inspection has been used to guarantee and control the quality of products by detecting defects, which can be spread out throughout the entire software life cycle. Therefore, the main premise is to identify and reduce the number of defect types in software artifacts during inspections. This work focuses on providing an up to dated overview of existing defects in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 13 Oct 2017 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the author namesThe Effect of Adding Zeolite in the Feed of Chickens Cobb 500Angel Roberto Sánchez Quinche, Faviola Margarita Pindo Nagua, Oliverio Napoleón Vargas González et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of zeolite on the feeding of Cobb 500 chickens in the productive parameters. The work was carried out in an integral farm of Ecuador, adopting the standards of biosafety and animal welfare for the breeding of poultry; no vaccines or drugs were administered. 200 chickens (1-day old) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 8,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesVariability Resolution and Product Configuration with SMarty: An Experimental Study on UML Class DiagramsAnderson S. Marcolino, Edson OliveiraJr, Itana M.S. Gimenes, Ellen F. BarbosaVariability management is one of the most important activities during software product line development and evolution. Current literature presents several approaches for variability management, especially based on UML, such as, PLUS and SMarty. A systematic process with guidelines support SMarty. Existing literature for these kind of approaches provides slight experimental evidence of their effectiveness at product configuration. Thus, this is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 8 Jul 2017 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStatistical Pattern Recognition for Thresholding between Human Skin and Background in Color ImagesRafael Divino Ferreira Feitosa, Vinícius Araújo Santos, Leandro Luís Galdino de Oliveira et al.Many research works based on the tone of human skin have been developed to locate and track the human body for the purpose of recognition in color images. With respect to other techniques, some advantages of face detection based on skin color are the smaller processing time, invariant angles of rotation and the performance in semi-occluded faces. In this study … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2017 · 7,927 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTransfer Function-Noise Modeling of the Dynamic Relationship between Botswana's Monthly Maximum Temperature and EvaporationOliver Moses, Edward Lungu, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaIn Botswana, the rate of evaporation over open water surfaces is high because the country is characterised by hot and semi arid climatic conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between Botswana's monthly maximum temperature and evaporation and between monthly maximum wind speed and evaporation, for the stations Gaborone, Francistown and Maun and to fit transfer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNitrifying, Denitrifying and Heterotrophic Biomass Present in Moving Bed-ReactorAndreliza Carolina Del Grossi Oliveira, Camila Zoe Correa, Kátia Valéria Marques Cardoso Prates, Deize Dias LopesThis study was carried out to evaluate the main bacterial communities related to the removal of nitrogen in a moving bed-reactor treating landfill leachate, relating the physico-chemical parameters with the existence of these organisms in the mixed liquor (non-attached microorganisms) and Support Material (SM). The system was operated in two phases: Phase I (without effluent recirculation) and II (with recirculation, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMercury Contamination within Protected Areas in the Brazilian Northern Amazon-Amapá StateRossana Venturieri, Marcelo Oliveira-da-Costa, Cecile Gama, Christoph Bernhard JasterMercury contamination is a long-standing environmental and social problem, notably in the Amazon. The widespread use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining has driven contamination of the environment and the people, threatening biodiversity, human health and livelihoods of traditional populations. Along the border area between Brazil and French Guiana, illegal gold mining is considered a critical threat to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2017 · 9,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAbstract Interpretation of Java Bytecode for Immutability AnalysisOliver HaaseEven though immutability is a desirable property, especially in a multi-threaded environment, implementing immutable Java classes is surprisingly hard because of a lack of language support. We present a static analysis tool using abstract bytecode interpretation that checks Java classes for compliance with a set of rules that together constitute state-based immutability. Being realized as a Find Bugs plug in, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 23 Aug 2016 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStatistical Modelling of Botswana’s Monthly Maximum Wind Speed using a Four-Parameter Kappa DistributionOliver Moses, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaWind speed modelling has been key to many environmental and engineering applications, particularly in environmentally friendly wind power generation to meet energy demands. Efficient assessment of wind speed at different recurrence intervals requires the choice of a suitable statistical distribution and an unbiased method of parameter estimation. This study suggests the use of a four parameter Kappa distribution, with its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2016 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
