Abstract Objective Accurate preoperative stone size assessment is crucial for predicting outcomes after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), yet a gap persists between the accurate but impractical gold standard (3D softw...

Software Effort Estimation (SEE) is used in accurately predicting the effort in terms of (person–hours or person–months). Although there are many models, Software Effort Estimation (SEE) is one of the most difficult ...

The validity of research findings critically depends on the selection of software samples. However, Mining Software Repositories studies often rely on outdated datasets and lack systematic, transparent procedures for rep...

Behavioral diagrams in Unified Modeling Language reflect the interaction between system components and give a comprehensive description and visualization of the system during the design phase. One of the most important b...

The proliferation of mobile technology has prompted the use of tablet devices in the cockpit and during ground operations in general aviation. Due to the increase in affordable and reliable hardware (i.e. iPads etc.), th...

Abstract Effort estimation remains a persistent challenge in agile software development, particularly at the user story level where iterative delivery is emphasized. Inaccurate estimations can result in misallocated reso...

"There is a general belief that the quality of Twitter data streams is generally low and unpredictable, making, in some way, unreliable to take decisions based on such data. The work presented here addresses this problem...

The article focuses on the digital transformation of Employee Experience Management (EXM) in the context of global business process digitalization. The research aims to systematize and scientifically substantiate modern ...

This study investigates the effect of discharge voltage on fracture distribution and fragmentation extent in multi-hole pulsed discharge rock fragmentation. Comparative experiments were conducted on red sandstone specime...

Abstract The signal digitization process of the open television system is still in progress, therefore, the study of the digital signal propagation has great importance so that broadcasters can develop and improve the tr...

Colorimetric assays offer a low-cost, accessible means of diagnostic testing but often suffer from subjective interpretation and variability caused by inconsistent imaging conditions. To address these challenges, we pres...

Platform engineering has become the dominant approach to managing developer infrastructure at scale, with industry surveys indicating that 94% of organizations have adopted or plan to adopt dedicated platform teams. Desp...

In every day, there is a great growth of the Internet and smart devices connected to the network. On the other hand, there is an increasing in number of malwares that attacks networks, devices, systems and apps. One of t...

Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand ha...

UML models quality is clearly a crucial issue that must be evaluated at the initial stages of object-oriented software development, in order to get software products with better quality. This fact is corroborated by the ...

SUMMARY: Picante is a software package that provides a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and trait diversity of ecological communities. The package calculates phylogenetic diversity metrics, perfo...

SUMMARY: Limitations of genome sequencing techniques have led to dozens of assembly algorithms, none of which is perfect. A number of methods for comparing assemblers have been developed, but none is yet a recognized ben...

In this work we present a discrete event model to design and implement a real time system simulator. This kind of software is useful to verify and evaluate algorithms and models, and to compute performance metrics. The d...
