Despite substantial amount of research in software process improvement SPI and a wide variety of SPI approaches and software process maturity models, many of the SPI initiatives still fail. This is mainly because the improvement projects are found to

Summary The change in soil carbon (C) stock over a 19–31-year period (mean 25 years) has been measured at 179 sites on a 20-km grid across Scotland. Sampling was by horizon from a profile pit. Although soil bulk density determinations were absent a

Systems Engineering Processes are usually written to be applied to the development of a complex system, starting from a blank sheet of paper. The mindset is that the processes have to be followed with 100% compliance to even stand a chance of develop

One of the few things certain about development of complex systems is the requirements for the system will remain uncertain late into the development program. Even though we recognize this, why do many programs assume that requirements will not chang

Summary 1 Many habitats of high conservation value are managed by grazing but could be damaged by poor grazing management. Approaches and methods to set appropriate grazing regimes must be developed that can be applied with confidence under different

Summary 1 Rangelands, produced by grazing herbivores, are important for a variety of agricultural, hunting, recreation and conservation objectives world-wide. Typically, there is little quantitative evidence regarding the magnitude of the grazing imp

We introduce an adapted form of the Markov random field (MRF) for Bayesian spatial smoothing with small-area data. This new scheme allows the amount of smoothing to vary in different parts of a map by employing area-specific smoothing parameters, rel
