Projects from U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Department of Energy technology development activities provide historical data on project completion timelines versus readiness levels that were assessed during the life cycle a program. A statistical analysis was performed to develop method forecast future based technical maturity assessments. The goodness-of-fit model used for f...

Impairments in cell migration processes may cause various diseases, among which cancer cell metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and the disability of immune cells to infiltrate into tumors are prominent ones. Mathematical modeling has been widely used to analyze the cell migration process. Cell migration is a complicated process and requires statistical methods such as random walk for proper analys...

The success of object-oriented software modelling depends to a large extent on the ability to create adequate abstractions. While abstraction itself must remain an intellectual process, a modelling language can support or hinder this process by offering different kinds or dimensions of abstraction. For instance, adhering to the object-oriented paradigm UML incorporates classification and genera...
