We use a common development process called SDLC model to insure that your new application performs as expected. This process provides a total life cycle (cradle to grave) solution for the development of any application. Each of our clients has different requirements for an application, but they all benefit from our development methodology.
Requirement Gathering begins with documentation of all the features, requirements and processes needed in the application. This provides a means of determining any issues that can delay or effect the development of the application. Each issue found can be investigated before any actual coding beings. Eliminating this step normally increases both the cost and the development time.
Process Evaluation takes the identified requirements and combines them into a cohesive whole. The initial high level documents are reviewed and pieced together. Here we receive the first glimpse of the application in its complete form. Flow, interfaces and dependencies are fine tuned and ironed out before our developers begin the actual coding of the application.
Application Development transforms the high level design into actual code. The developers create the application using the tools and resources recommended during the process evaluation. Our QA team is often involved in the process to help reduce the final testing time.
Documentation and QA is our final step in creation of an application. In addition to a full scale test of the application in its entirety, the QA team creates a comprehensive technical reference to make future changes or upgrades simpler. User documentation and training is also made available at this point when required by the client.
Deployment and Implementation is a critical piece of this puzzle when it is needed. This process involves the preparation, installation, setup and testing of the application in the environment it will be used in. This can be the most critical piece for our clients, and one that we perform quickly and accurately.
All programming work is performed on one of our development servers. This allows us greater control of the development environment while still providing our clients access to the application during the testing and review process.


After a rough weekend in which they only managed to secure one point from two games, the Ottawa Senators know their playoff outlook appears grim.
Ottawa came into this weekend essentially needing all four points, but saw those hopes dashed after blowing a 4-1 lead over Montreal with less than four minutes remaining on Saturday — eventually losing in OT — then losing against Colorado on Sunday despite outshooting the Avs 39-22.
As such, the Sens are now in serious danger of missing the postseason for just the third time in the last 17 seasons — and missing would be a major disappointment. Losing long-serving captain Daniel Alfredsson to free agency in the summer was a potential foreshadow for struggle, and the team looked shaky out of the gate by going just 10-11-4 over its first 25 games of the season.
That said, Ottawa did rally to go into the Olympic break in reasonably good shape — 26-22-11 — and ID'd itself as a buyer at the trade deadline, sending a pair of picks to Edmonton in exchange for Ales Hemsky.
Looking ahead, it'll be interesting to see what kind of reaction owner Eugene Melnyk will receive should the Sens miss the playoffs. He's been highly-criticized throughout the year for both how the Alfredsson situation played out, and the club's internal salary cap — Ottawa is operating at around $56 million, and part of the Hemsky deal was contingent upon Edmonton picking up some of his salary.
That review might be a bit premature, though, because it's not like the Sens are throwing in the towel on this season just yet.
"We've got to win games," Spezza said. "We've got 15 games left. We're not going to throw in the towel right now. We've still got to play the games. We're frustrated with this weekend, especially because we knew it was an important weekend.

Q: Solving $\sqrt{x+5} = x - 1$ I'm currently learning about radicals and simplifying them, and I came across this problem on the internet and tried to solve it:
$$\sqrt{x+5} = x - 1$$
So I used this logic:
$$
\begin{align}
\sqrt{x+5} &= x - 1 \\
x + 5 &= (x-1)^2 \\
x + 5 &= (x-1)(x-1) \\
x + 5 &= x^2 - 2x + 1 \\
0 &= x^2 - 3x - 4 \\
0 &= (x-4)(x+1) \\
\end{align}
$$
Therefore, $x = -1$ and $x = 4$ satisfy the equation $0 = (x-4)(x+1)$.
But then I tried to plug them in the original problem $\sqrt{x+5}=x-1$:
$$
\begin{align}
\sqrt{4 + 5} &= 4 - 1 \\
\sqrt{9} &= 3 \\
3 &= 3
\end{align}
$$
So using 4 works as expected, but when using $-1$:
$$
\begin{align}
\sqrt{-1 + 5} &= -1 - 1 \\
\sqrt{4} &= -2 \\
2 &\ne -2
\end{align}
$$
At what stage am I going wrong?
And according the WolframAlpha, the solution is $x = 4$.

A: The problem is that when you square both sides of an equation you may introduce new roots. The new equation has all the solutions of the original one, but may have some that are not.
From $A^{2}-B^{2}=\left( A-B\right) (A+B)$ you can say that $A-B=0\Rightarrow A^{2}-B^{2}=0$ and $A+B=0\Rightarrow A^{2}-B^{2}=0$. But while $A=B$ is a solution of $A-B=0$, $A=-B$ is not, unless $A=B=0$. In the question $A=\sqrt{x+5}$, $B=x-1$.
As I wrote in this answer, in general the equation $A^n=B^n$ has all the solutions of the equation $A=B$ but may have additional ones. This is a consequence of the algebraic identity
$$A^n-B^n=(A-B)(A^{n-1}+A^{n-2}B+\cdots +AB^{n-2}+B^{n-1}).$$

A: Work backwards. Starting with $x=-1$ and $x=4$, when you work backwards through your steps and rewrite everything to get to the very beginning, you end by taking a square-root. When you take that square-root, you have two possible solutions: $+\sqrt{x+5}$ and $-\sqrt{x+5}\quad$. $x=-1$ solves one, $x=4$ solves the other.

A: Plugging $x= -1$ into each step of your work, you get :
$$\begin{align}2 = -2 \\ 4 = 4 \\ 4 = 4 \\ 4 = 4 \\ 0 = 0 \\ 0 = 0 \end{align}$$
Thus without any thinking, you know that the error is in the first step, because $2^2 = 4 = 4 = (-2)^2$, but $2 \neq -2$

A: At no stage...
Here is what happens, you squared the equation
$$\sqrt{x+5} =x-1 \,.$$
But then, if the two sides of the equation have the same absolute value, but opposite signs they are not equal in this equation but they become equal at the next step.
This means that the equation $x+5=(x-1)^2$ possibly has more solutions. So the answers you got at the end are no necessarily the solution, they are just the possible solutions.
You have to check which one works.
+1 for showing your work :)

A: The problem is:
$$x+5 = (x - 1)^2$$
doesn't imply
$$\sqrt{x + 5} = x - 1$$
but
$$\sqrt{x + 5} = \vert x - 1\vert$$

A: $\sqrt{x+5} = x - 1$
Because, you need to put condition $x\geq 1$
So, If you tried to plug $x = -1 < 1$, which not satified.

A: *

*Function on the left hand side is strictly increasing (i.e always increasing).

*Function on the right hand side is strictly increasing (i.e always increasing) too.

*We draw a graph to find out where too look for the roots. You can use this or any other tool to draw two graphs for left and right hand side functions. We'll see that there is one interception at $x=4$ and there will be no other interceptions because functions striclty increase.

Unity Technologies has teamed up with PiXYZ to create a plug-in that allows IFC BIM files to be imported into Unity's real-time 3D engine. The bridge allows users to harness the power of BIM metadata, and optimise and create real-time renderings of CAD models using numerous Unity features.
Unity has published a blog post that shows the workflow from Autodesk Revit (also seen in the video below), but IFC data can be imported from any program that supports the neutral BIM format, such as Tekla Structures, ArchiCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D.
This isn't the only way to bring IFC data into Unity. Last year Tridify launched a cloud service that uses IFC files to create optimised models, complete with BIM data, for real time viz, VR and AR applications.
Unity is also working with Autodesk on new technology that will allows users to import Revit data directly into Unity. You can read more about the collaboration between Autodesk and Unity in this AEC Magazine article.
Unity is not the only firm looking to solve the workflow challenges of bringing design data into a 'game engine' environment. Last year Epic Games announced support for Revit to streamline the transfer of BIM data into Unreal Engine. However, with Revit known for being notoriously hard to develop for, Unity will look to use its Autodesk partnership to its advantage as both 'game engine' developers look to increase penetration in the AEC sector.

Study Finds Evidence that the Presence of Emphysema on a CT Scan Increases Lung Cancer Risk
by Kara Elam
In Emphysema, News.
Dr. Claudia I. Henschke, MD, PhD, the Director of the Lung Screening Program and clinical professor of radiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, and her team of collaborating investigators, recently published an important study that could have significant impacts on future screening recommendations for Lung Cancer. The study entitled "CT screening for lung cancer: Importance of emphysema for never smokers and smokers" was published in the February online edition of Lung Cancer.
Background Terminology:
Emphysema: A type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that gradually damages the air sacs (alveoli) in patients' lungs, making it progressively harder to take deep breaths and engage in physical activity.
CT scans: Computerized tomography scans combine X-ray views taken from many different angles and computer processing to create diagnostic images of patients' bones and soft tissue.
Odds Ratio: A measure of association between an exposure and an outcome.
In this study, researchers sought to determine the prevalence of lung cancer in high and low-risk individuals according to their smoking history, age, and CT findings of emphysema.
About the Study:
They enrolled 62,124 participants aged 40-90 who did not exhibit symptoms for lung cancer, between 2000 and 2013. Participants were classified into the following groups based on answers to a baseline questionnaire about their smoking history:
Those who smoked 100 or more cigarettes in their lifetime were classified as smokers (49,756 participants)
Those who had more than one cigarette in the month before enrollment in the study or had quit smoking within a year of enrollment were classified as current smokers (23,415 participants)
Participants who had smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime were deemed "never smokers" (12,368 participants)
Current and former smokers were further divided into three smaller groups based on smoking history:
Those with a pack-year total less than 30 were considered "light smokers."
Those with a pack-year total between 30 and 59 were considered "moderate smokers."
Those with a pack-year total of 60 or more were considered "heavy smokers."
Participants' baseline low-dose CT scans were analyzed to determine the prevalence of lung cancer as well as the odds ratio for emphysema, conditionally on age, female gender, and ethnicity.
Results of the Study:
The findings showed that the Identification of emphysema in low-dose CT scans does increase the risk of lung cancer by the following measures:
The prevalence of lung cancer was 1.4% for current smokers, 1.1% for former smokers, and 0.4% for never smokers.
Emphysema was identified in 28.5% (6,684), 20.6% (5,422), and 1.6% (194) of current, former, and never smokers.
The prevalence of lung cancer among current smokers was 1.1% for those without emphysema vs. 2.3% for those with emphysema (odds ratio [OR] 1.8) and the corresponding difference for former smokers was 0.9% vs. 1.8% (OR: 1.7), and for never smokers, it was 0.4% vs. 2.6% (OR: 6.3).
Prevalence of lung cancer was similar among smokers and never smokers below age 50.
In the discussion of their findings, Dr. Henschke and her collaborators wrote, "Our study demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of lung cancer among those who also had CT evidence of emphysema, thereby demonstrating the importance of identifying emphysema when interpreting a CT scan of the chest. While this increased risk of lung cancer had been previously reported for smokers, in several studies, this is the first such report for never smokers. When emphysema is identified individuals that never smoked had the same prevalence of lung cancer as a smoker. Further, the adjusted odds ratio of emphysema was significantly increased when there was moderate to high secondhand tobacco smoke exposure."
