A Model Driven Approach for State Management in Mobile Applications
With the paradigm shift from desktop to mobile applications and the growing demand for mobile devices has awakened the interest of the IT industry on how to tackle the development of mobile applications. Managing application state is hard in building modern mobile applications. As application complexity increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the track of changing state and mapping those changes back to user interface. State management is challenging due to its low-level implementation complexity. To overcome above mentioned issue, there is a strong need to introduce model driven approach for state management in mobile applications. This paper proposes a Unified Modeling Language profile for Mobile Application State Management (UMASM) to simplify mobile application state management requirements. Particularly, UMASM is capable of representing mobile state management requirements at higher abstraction level. This provides the strong basis to automatically generate low level implementations in target platform like Redux from high level UMASM models. The applicability of UMASM is validated through e-banking application case study.
Model-Driven Development of Cross-Platform Mobile Applications with Web Ratio and IFML
Model-driven development can concur to address the widespread need of companies for quick development of mobile applications, combined with the chronic shortage of IT personnel with the appropriate skills. In this context, we propose a comprehensive tool suite called Web Ratio Mobile Platform for model-driven development of mobile applications. The tool supports developers in the specification of the domain model and of the interaction model for mobile applications. The specification is built according to an extended version of the OMG standard language called IFML (Interaction Flow Modeling Language), empowered with primitives tailored to mobile systems, that enable specification of mobile-specific behaviors. The tool features model-checking and full code generation that produces ready-to-publish cross-platform mobile applications exploiting the Apache Cordova framework.
Metabolism of individual fatty acids by sheep depot adipose tissue in vivo and in vitro.
1. 
1. Sheep adipose tissue and plasma have high stearate and low unsaturated fatty acid content compared to rat, dog and man. 
 
2. 
2. In control animals in vivo uptake as well as release of various fatty acids by adipose tissue could be demonstrated. In vitro net release occurred. Fasting resulted in a decrease in tissue stearate and increased release of fatty acids. Adrenaline and noradrenaline had minimal lipolytic effect in vivo and in vitro. 
 
3. 
3. Variations in the turnover rate of individual fatty acids were observed.
