The current project is a preliminary attempt at assessing the potential of a three-dimensional virtual reality Stroop task (VRST) for investigation of supervisory attentional processing. The VRST was compared with paper-and-pencil and computer automated (two-dimensional) versions of the Stroop. Psychophysiological measures were also used to assess varying levels of user arousal. The three versi...

Context: Code ownership metrics were recently defined in order to distinguish major and minor contributors of a software module, and to assess whether the ownership of such a module is strong or shared between developers. Objective: The relationship between these metrics and software quality was initially validated on proprietary software projects. Our objective in this paper is to evaluate suc...

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler metrics. We find some conditions under which the class of generalized Douglas-Weyl (&alpha, &beta)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduce to the class of Berwald metrics.

urban landscape structural analysis; focused on the remnant patch mosaic network as the component with closest interdependency with air and water related processes was undertaken to find and propose environmental planning suggestions.assessments demonstrate that remnant patch mosaic network structure of tehran is still restorable. with appropriate corrective measures based on the natural lay ou...

development of remote sensing (rs) and gis techniques and that of landscape metrics in the late 1980s have caused to introduce a new dimension in the landscape ecology arena (the relationship between spatial patterns and ecological processes). however, scale dependence of some of landscape metrics and rs systems of different spatial resolution has resulted in particular attention into selection...

Twitter uses machine learning to crop images, where crops are centered around the part predicted be most salient. In fall 2020, users raised concerns that automated image cropping system on favored light-skinned over dark-skinned individuals, as well woman's bodies instead of their heads. order address these concerns, we conduct an extensive analysis using formalized group fairness metrics. We ...

The need to select a component among a set of possible candidates that offer similar functionality opens the need to count with objective methods that help developers in this difficult task. One necessary step is to define a set of metrics that offer useful and simple results for the component selection process. In this position paper we present a collection of software component metrics focuse...

Video quality assessment has a great importance in several image processing applications. Recently, various objective video quality metrics have been proposed in order to predict the human visual perception and to achieve high correlation with the human perception of the image quality. In this paper, a novel objective quality metric is proposed for tracking moving objects in video sequences. Th...
