Budgeting, bidding and planning of software project effort, time and cost are essential elements of any software development process. Massive size and complexity of now a day produced software systems cause a substantial risk for the development process. Inadequate and inefficient information about the size and complexity results in an ambiguous estimates that cause many losses. Project manager...

In mining frequent itemsets, one of most important algorithm is FP-growth. FP-growth proposes an algorithm to compress information needed for mining frequent itemsets in FP-tree and recursively constructs FP-trees to find all frequent itemsets. In this paper, we propose the EFP-growth (enhanced FPgrowth) algorithm to achieve the quality of FP-growth. Our proposed method implemented the EFPGrowt...

Normal Syrian hamster females contain a serum protein not found by simple gel diffusion assay in normal adult males. This sex-limited protein was called female protein (FP). Low levels of FP were found in sera from normal weanling male hamsters. Adult male hamsters castrated or treated with diethylstilbestrol also developed serum FP, which could be suppressed by administration of testosterone. ...

We show that if an NP-complete set or a coNP-complete set is polynomial-time disjunc-tive truth-table reducible to a sparse set then FP NP jj = FP NP log]. With a similar argument we show also that if SAT is O(log n)-approximable then FP NP jj = FP NP log]. Since FP NP jj = FP NP log] implies that SAT is O(logn)-approximable BFT97], it follows from our result that the two hypotheses are equival...

BACKGROUND Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth. Sub-Saharan Africa, with one of the lowest contraceptive prevalence and highest fertility rates globally, contributes half of the global maternal deaths. Improving the quality of FP services, including enhancing pre-service FP teaching, has the potential to improve contraceptive prevalence. I...

To mine out relevant facts at the time of need from web has been a tenuous task. Research on diverse fields are fine tuning methodologies toward these goals that extracts the best of information relevant to the users search query. In the proposed methodology discussed in this paper find ways to ease the search complexity tackling the severe issues hindering the performance of traditional approa...

The FP (Fbxo7/PI31) domains found in the F-box protein Fbxo7 and the proteasome inhibitor PI31 mediate the homodimerization and heterodimerization of Fbxo7 and PI31. Fbxo7 is the substrate-recognition subunit of the SCF(Fbxo7) (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase that catalyzes the ubiquitination of hepatoma up-regulated protein (HURP) and inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP). Fbxo7 al...

Prostaglandin F(2 alpha) (PGF(2 alpha)) receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors consisting of two alternative mRNA splice variants, named FP(A) and FP(B). As compared with the FP(A) isoform, the FP(B) isoform lacks the last 46 amino acids of the carboxyl terminus and, therefore, represents a truncated version of the FP(A). We recently found (Pierce, K. L., Fujino, H., Srinivasan, D., and Rega...

The objectives of this survey were to identify women's level of KAP toward FP; identify possible barriers to using FP; determine pregnancy spacing pattern; and ascertain the level of FP promotion by health workers. This was a 2-weeks cross-sectional survey at all maternity units in Butembo of post-partum women. 572 women were interviewed. FP knowledge was high (76%), perception good (80%). Majo...

Copepod faecal pellets (FP) are considered important contributors to vertical carbon flux, but investigations comparing FP production with FP export using sediment traps conclude that vertical export is not their only fate. FP are degraded to a large extent in the upper 60 m, and even among large, fast-sinking FP, only a fraction reaches sediment traps deeper than 200 m. Retention mechanisms fo...
