Use cases are widely used in early software development phases such requirements analysis. In this paper, we investigate how use case similarity could impact the classes that implement them. We studied if the similarity of use cases could have impact on the lines of code shared between them and on metrics of classes that implement them, such as, coupling, cohesion and method complexity of class...

A disorder-dependent Gaussian variational approach is applied to the problem of a d dimensional polymer chain in a random medium (or potential). Two classes of variational solutions are obtained. For d < 2, these two classes may be interpreted as domain and domain wall. The critical exponent ν describing the polymer width is ν = 1 (4−d) (domain solution) or ν = 3 (d+4) (domain wall solution). T...

in the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the debye-hückel theory (dht) considering time dependence explicitly. from the electro-quasistatic approach (eqs) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes.this...
