Object Oriented (OO) metrics play a key role in determining the efficiency of the code being developed under OO approaches. Cohesion and coupling are the widely used measures applied for the determination of important factors including reusability, maintainability and readability. There exists many Cohesion and Coupling based OO metrics making it difficult to choose the appropriate one. Moreove...

Cohesion is one of the widely used measures applied for the determination of important factors including reusability, maintainability and readability.

A multilabeled tree (or MUL-tree) is a rooted tree in which every leaf is labelled by an element from some set, but in which more than one leaf may be labelled by the same element of that set. In phylogenetics, such trees are used in biogeographical studies, to study the evolution of gene families, and also within approaches to construct phylogenetic networks. A multilabelled tree in which no l...

design, simulation and optimal selection of cosine-linear frequency modulation waveform (cnlfm) based on correlated ambiguity function (af) method for the purpose of synthetic aperture radar (sar) is done in this article. the selected optimum cnlfm waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a sar image formation algorithm (ifa) and their quality effects performance ...

Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...

A three stage production system is considered in this paper. There are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. Suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. Each product is assembled with a set of several parts. At first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...

Nonylphenol (NP) has been widely used for more than 50 years in the synthesis of NP ethoxylates, which are important nonionic surfactants. NP is considered an endocrine disruptor based on in vitro and in vivo animal studies. However, the toxic effects of NP in humans are unknown. Information regarding the metabolic fate of 4-t-nonylphenol (4-tNP), a mixture of commercial NP branched isomers, in...

Often landscape metrics are not thoroughly evaluated with respect to remote sensing data characteristics, such as their behavior in relation to variation in spatial and temporal resolution, number of land cover classes or dominant land cover categories. In such circumstances, it may be difficult to ascertain whether a change in a metric is due to landscape pattern change or due to the inherent ...

Probabilistic distance functions, including several variants of value difference metrics, minimum risk metric and ShortFukunaga metrics, are used with prototype-based rules (P-rules) to provide a very concise and comprehensible classification model. Application of probabilistic metrics to nominal or discrete features is straightforward. Heterogeneous metrics that handle continuous attributes wi...
