Software project development process is requiring accurate software cost and schedule estimation for achieve goal or success. A lot it referred to as the ―Intricate brainteaser‖ because of its conscience attribute which is impact by complexity and uncertainty, Generally estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforward—once you...

Simulated security assessments (a collective term used here for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and related nomenclature) may need standardisation, but not in the commonly assumed manner of practical assessment methodologies. Instead, this study highlights market failures within the providing industry at the beginning and ending of engagements, which has left clients receiving am...

While news media biases and propaganda are a persistent problem for interpreting the true state of world affairs, increasing reliance on the internet as a primary news source has enabled the formation of hyper-partisan echo chambers and an industry where outlets benefit from purveying “fake news”. The presence of intentionally adversarial news sources challenges linguistic modeling of news arti...

During the last few years there has been considerable interest in software process assessment and improvement methods based on the Software Engineering Institute's(SEIs) pioneering work in this area. The emergence of a number of variations of the SEI's method suggests the need to standardise on an internationally approved method of software process assessment and improvement based on good manag...

Primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung represent a clinical spectrum of tumors ranging from the relatively benign and slow-growing typical carcinoid to the highly aggressive small-cell lung carcinoma. The rarity of carcinoids has made the role of radiation therapy in their management controversial. This review considers the results of published studies to generate treatment recommendation...

The occurrences of mycotoxins as food contaminants in different localities particularly in developing countries and the inevitable exposure of populations and children to these toxins with probable adverse outcomes need be scientifically and systematically assessed. Health risk assessment developed in the 1980s is separate from risk management, both with risk communication form the risk analysi...

PURPOSE To assess detection of stroke and prediction of extent of infarction with multimodal computed tomographic (CT) evaluation (unenhanced CT, perfusion CT, and CT angiography) in patients suspected of having acute stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four consecutive patients with a mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 10.45 and suspected of having ischemic stroke of th...

Many automatic assessment systems support immediate feedback as well as allow resubmissions to improve the learning outcome based on the feedback. Several strategies exist to implement the resubmission policy. The goal, however, is to improve the learning, and thus the strategies should also aim to prevent the learner from using the resubmission feature irresponsibly. One of the key questions h...

BACKGROUND In the UK the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards to support learning and assessment in practice state that mentors are responsible and accountable for the assessment of pre-registration nursing students in practice. This study was undertaken to explore mentors' experience of assessing nursing students in practice post implementation of the NMC standards. METHOD Five focu...
