Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ... -
Assimilation of agile practices in use
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-01-18)Agile method use in information systems development (ISD) has grown dramatically in recent years. The emergence of these alternative approaches was very much industry-led at the outset, and while agile method research is ... -
Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-23)Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast cancer risk remains unknown. ... -
