Testability is an important software quality factor that is ineffective if it is not available at an early stage in the development life-cycle. It becomes more essential in the case of object oriented design. Flexibility is an important key factor to testability analysis and measurement for delivering high class testable and maintainable software. Flexibility is a criterion of crucial significa...

The old idea of segmented macroeconomics of the financial sector competing with the real economy is replaced by a new model, which manifests strong interaction, integration and co-evolution by circular causation relations between the monetary sector and the real economy with the bridging function of finance and financial instruments. The Money, Finance, Spending and Real Economy (MFSRE) model e...

classical control methods such as pontryagin maximum principle and bang-bang principle and other methods are not usually useful for solving opti-mal control systems (ocs) specially optimal control of nonlinear systems (ocns). in this paper, we introduce a new approach for solving ocns by using some combination of atomic measures. we define a criterion for controllability of lumped nonlinear con...

We propose a new formulation for pruning convolutional kernels in neural networks to enable efficient inference. We interleave greedy criteria-based pruning with finetuning by backpropagation—a computationally efficient procedure that maintains good generalization in the pruned network. We propose a new criterion based on Taylor expansion that approximates the change in the cost function induce...

The main objective of immunology is to establish why and when an immune response occurs, that is, to determine a criterion of immunogenicity. According to the consensus view, the proper criterion of immunogenicity lies in the discrimination between self and nonself. Here we challenge this consensus by suggesting a simpler and more comprehensive criterion, the criterion of continuity. Moreover, ...
