The feedback from architectural decisions to the elaboration of requirements is an established concept in the software engineering community. However, pinpointing the nature of this feedback in a precise way is a largely open problem. Often, the feedback is generically characterized as additional qualities that might be affected by an architect’s choice. This paper provides a practical perspect...

Abstract The aim of this two-part paper is to investigate the stability properties a special class solutions coagulation-fragmentation equation. We assume that coagulation kernel close diagonal kernel, and fragmentation diagonal. In companion we constructed two-parameter family stationary concentrated in Dirac masses, carefully studied asymptotic decay tails these solutions, showing behaviour s...

The low-energy electronic excitations in cobalt are studied by a theoretical method that includes many-body effects and a realistic description of the band structure. Angle-resolved photoemission spectra measured on a thick film of hexagonal close-packed Co on Cu(111) agree well with calculated spectral functions. Because of many-body effects no sharp quasiparticle peaks exist for binding energ...

In this paper a classification-based method for the automatic detection of glottal closure instants (GCIs) from the speech signal is proposed. Peaks in the speech waveforms are taken as candidates for GCI placements. A classification framework is used to train a classification model and to classify whether or not a peak corresponds to the GCI. We show that the detection accuracy in terms of F1 ...

Background and Aim: The process of identifying Covid 19 cases over time (the trend) can provide valuable information about the coverage of diagnostic and screening programs over time. This study aimed to investigate the outpatient trend of Covid-19 in selected comprehensive health service centers of Tehran University of Meical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: This was a descripti...

Fast and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with chemometric methods was utilized to assist in the quality assessment of Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma). By comparative analysis of chromatographic profiles, twelve common peaks were selected for multivariate analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-D...

Motivation: Due to the large number of peaks in mass spectra of low-molecular-weight (LMW) enriched sera, a systematic method is needed to select a parsimonious set of peaks to facilitate biomarker identification. We present computational methods for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectral data preprocessing and peak selection. In particular, we propose a...
