Claims, Fixing Their Values

Probiotics and their potential health claims.

Many studies have attempted to identify specific positive health effects of probiotics. One of the challenges in generalizing health effects of probiotics is that different strains exert disparate effects on human health. As a result, the efficacy of one strain or species cannot necessarily be inferred from another. The objective of this review is to examine the current scientific literature th...

Developers Fixing Their Own Bugs ? Tracing Bug - Fixing and Bug - Seeding Committers

The process of fixing software bugs plays a key role in the maintenance activities of a software project. Ideally, code ownership and responsibility should be enforced among developers working on the same artifacts, so that those introducing buggy code could also contribute to its fix. However, especially in FLOSS projects, this mechanism is not clearly understood: in particular, it is not know...

Weak log-majorization inequalities of singular values between normal matrices and their absolute values

‎This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$‎. ‎Some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎In addi...
