Conceptual Model-Based Reasoning for Knowledge-Based Software Project Management

This paper presents a conceptual model for software project management and the power derived from using a conceptual model-based reasoning approach in building intelligent decision-support systems. The Software Project Manager (SPM) has been prototyped in Inference Corporation\u27s Automated Reasoning Tool (ART) on Symbolics artificial intelligence (Al) workstations. This prototype conceptual model is an outgrowth of research con- ducted under the Knowledge-Based Software Project Management project at Lockheed Software Technology Center in Austin, Texas. In this paper, we present an overview of the management model underlying SPM and define the essential concepts and relationships needed to model the project management domain. We then describe the knowledge representation strategy used to implement this conceptual model. Finally, we illustrate the power of using conceptual model-based reasoning in building intelligent decision-support systems for the project management domain

Inhibition of \u3cem\u3eRhizobium etli\u3c/em\u3e Polysaccharide Mutants by \u3cem\u3ePhaseolus vulgaris\u3c/em\u3e Root Compounds

Crude bean root extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris were tested for inhibition of the growth of several polysaccharide mutants of Rhizobium etli biovar phaseoli CE3. Mutants deficient only in exopolysaccharide and some mutants deficient only in the O-antigen of the lipopolysaccharide were no more sensitive than the wild-type strain to the extracts, whereas mutants defective in both lipopolysaccharide and exopolysaccharide were much more sensitive. The inhibitory activity was found at much higher levels in roots and nodules than in stems or leaves. Inoculation with either wild-type or polysaccharide-deficient R. etli did not appear to affect the level of activity. Sequential extractions of the crude root material with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water partitioned inhibitory activity into each solvent except methanol. The major inhibitors in the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts were purified by C18 high-performance liquid chromatography. These compounds all migrated very similarly in both liquid and thin-layer chromatography but were distinguished by their mass spectra. Absorbance spectra and fluorescence properties suggested that they were coumestans, one of which had the mass spectrum and nuclear magnetic resonances of coumestrol. These results are discussed with regard to the hypothesis that one role of rhizobial polysaccharides is to protect against plant toxins encountered during nodule development

Human rights impacts of own operations: Insights for due diligence

The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (2011) clarify the state duty and corporate responsibility for preventing and addressing human rights risks related to business activities. Human rights impacts of own operations: insights for due diligence aims to support Finnish companies in taking appropriate steps to carry out due diligence to prevent, mitigate, or remedy adverse human rights impacts of their own operations, as outlined in the UN Guiding Principles, especially in countries where protection of human rights may be insufficient or the enforcement of existing legislation wea

Be a Digital Survivor: Digitize, Share and Preserve

Are you feeling marooned on your own island? You are not alone. Is your tribe facing challenges, such as time, funding, preservation and storage? Looking to achieve the reward of providing access to and preserving your digital collections? Join these Minnesota digital survivors as they share their quest to digitize, preserve, and showcase their digital objects by using the open source Islandora digital asset management system, customized and supported by PALS. Together these tribes, along with the Islandora community, have formed alliances where they learn from, share with and collaborate to enrich their digital collections. Each tribe will share their journey, experiences, and advice on building digital repositories. Become a Digital Survivor and learn how you too can take the first steps toward building a bridge off your island

Using intervention mapping to develop and adapt a secondary stroke prevention program in Veterans Health Administration medical centers

Secondary stroke prevention is championed by the stroke guidelines; however, it is rarely systematically delivered. We sought to develop a locally tailored, evidence-based secondary stroke prevention program. The purpose of this paper was to apply intervention mapping (IM) to develop our locally tailored stroke prevention program and implementation plan. We completed a needs assessment and the five Steps of IM. The needs assessment included semi-structured interviews of 45 providers; 26 in Indianapolis and 19 in Houston. We queried frontline clinical providers of stroke care using structured interviews on the following topics: current provider practices in secondary stroke risk factor management; barriers and needs to support risk factor management; and suggestions on how to enhance secondary stroke risk factor management throughout the continuum of care. We then describe how we incorporated each of the five Steps of IM to develop locally tailored programs at two sites that will be evaluated through surveys for patient outcomes, and medical records chart abstraction for processes of care

Object lessons

This thesis is written to accompany and support my ideas behind the final thesis show, Object Lessons, and my remaining work to date. The collection of paintings, sculptures, and drawings together with the way they are displayed are strongly connected by ideas of intersections with music and with systems. Systems of language, musical notation, numeric notation all have a place in my work as catalysts for flights of imagination. To give physical form to abstract ideas is an important aspect of my work. I have worked within a restricted color palette, one based on earth pigments, avoiding the bright cadmium colors of a contemporary palette. Yellow Ochre, Raw Siena, Mars Black, Titanium White and Naples Red are the staples in my paint-box. Most of my ideas of color derive from looking at ancient ruins in Pompeii and the Domus Aurea in Rome. I love ancient history, and the three UNCG trips to Florence, Rome and Venice have brought my attention to the remains of pigment in ancient ruins, more specifically in Pompeii and the Domus Aurea in Rome. Ancient ruins are tied to my content by way of the remnants of the found objects I use. None of the objects are intact. They have been distorted in various ways. They are completely removed from their functional use. I am interested in the history of painting and in the origins of things and ideas. Although it is not at all necessary to prepare rabbit skin glue in a double boiler to prepare a canvas for a contemporary work, I feel connected to the past, to past painters for whom this ritual was part and parcel of their artistic life. I think of my work to date as situated within the post-minimalists of the 1970’s, with an ancient color palette and contemporary ideas of objects made and found. Robert Ryman, Agnus Martin and the artist, philosopher and social critic, Issa Samb are artists to whom I have been indebted. Ryman and Martin helped me to pay attention to the making of my work, be it in the process and/or through careful attention to materials. Samb has taught me to see and think about objects differently. He has helped me to understand objects as having a life, a history, and how they are capable of being in relationship to other objects and people in the world. I add to the post-minimalist conversation my use of music as a catalyst for ideas and by using materials from the contemporary world
