Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based assays are becoming more reliable, simpler, and faster alternatives to traditional Southern blot hybridization (SBH) analysis for the detection of clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangements. However, a variety of technical approaches have been reported with markedly different results.

Thus, this orbifold is defined by a finitely generated group U of orientation-preserving isometries of hyperbolic three-space IH 3.

Model-based design of user interfaces has followed a long tradition of establishing models and maintaining mappings between them. This paper introduces a formal definition of potential mappings between models with its corresponding syntax so as to create a uniform and integrated framework for adding, removing, and modifying mappings throughout the development life cycle. For the first time, the mappings can be established from any source model to any target model, one or many, in the same formalism. Those models include task, domain, presentation, dialog, and context of use, which is itself decomposed into user, platform, and environment. IdealXML consists of a Java application allowing the designer to edit any model at any time, and any element of any model, but also to establish a set of mappings, either manually or automatically based on a mapping model.

There are different kinds of users, and that is a fact we cannot ignore. Human society is full of diversity and that must be reflected in human-computer interaction design. Thus, we need to engage users in a new kind of interaction concept where user interfaces are tailored-made, and where user interfaces are intelligent and adaptive. A new generation of specification techniques is necessary to face these challenges successfully. Model-based design has proved to be a powerful tool to achieve these goals. A first step towards adaptive user interface generation is introduced by means of the concept of connector applied to model-based design of user interfaces.

However, computer and display technologies are changing. Sizes range from large surrounding displays to small mobile devices. Besides, 3D graphics is no longer limited to graphics workstations, as most PCs are shipped with specialized hardware, and 3D standards are being developed for mobile devices. User interface engineering should not be left out of this progress. With that concern in mind, the IDEAS methodology is presented, a novel environment which allows the development of both 2D and 3D user interfaces. A case of study is used to show the details of the proposed development process.
