Knowledge is the ground of the software industry. In order to acquire, create, and incorporate knowledge, the organizations embrace the Knowledge Management (KM). Thus, the goal of this paper is to identify methodological instruments used by researchers to investigate the knowledge management within the software industry. We analyze the status of the research presenting an overview of the methods used by the authors, the objectives established by them, and some relevant aspects to drive future work in KM area.

The rainfall regime in the Northeast region of Brazil has an irregularity associated with some physical and atmospheric factors that provides a feature specific to it.

Recent evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes mellitus is a fast growing disease in world wide. The multiple complications are associated with T2DM.Serum secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a biomarker for T2DM. 503 patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were investigated. Majorityof the patientsbelong to the low socio-economic groups between 40-70 years. These 503 participants, 407 females and 96 were normal females. ECG (Electrocardiogram) parameters were also in the study.

The study involves the use of Natural Rubber Degrading Actinobacteria isolated from rubber plantation soil for the degradation of the artificial rubber. Plate assay method by mineral salt medium was followed for the screening of bacteria for knowing its capacity to mineralize the rubber. Degradation of the rubber was confirmed by Schiffs and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) studies. The cultures were able to utilize the artificial rubber which was confirmed by Schiffs test and FTIR studies. Actinobacteria have the capacity to mineralize artificial rubber.
