This paper presented two maintainability prediction models that are developed and compared for object-oriented software systems based on the recently introduced learning algorithm called Sensitivity Based Linear Learning Method (SBLLM) and extreme learning machines (ELM). As the number of object-oriented software systems increases, it becomes more important for organizations to maintain those s...

background: selection of an appropriate leadership style coordinated with external motivation can improve job performance, job promotion and job satisfaction and consequently lead to achieving both individual and organizational goals. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction of staff working in health care networks in kerman university o...

Cognitive linguistics gives the most inclusive, consistent description of how language is organized, used and learned to date. Cognitive linguistics contains a great number of concepts that are useful to second language learners.  If-clauses in English, on the other hand, remain intriguing for foreign language learners to struggle with, due to their intrinsic intricacies. EFL grammar books are ...

the purpose of this study is to explain and explore dimensions and features of answer oriented and question oriented approaches and to examine the consequences of these two approaches for children's imaginative and creative behavior. for this purpose the descriptive - analytical method was used. in this regard, the relationships between the questioning, imagination and creativity were discussed...

Different classification methods have been used for classification of satellite data by researchers. Addition to current classification, pixel-based methods, developments in segmentation and object oriented techniques offer the suitable analyses to classify satellite data. To compare the pixel-based with object-oriented classification approaches to extract forest types, a case study in a small ...

In this survey paper, we compare native double precision solvers with emulatedand mixedprecision solvers of linear systems of equations as they typically arise in finite element discretisations. The emulation utilises two single float numbers to achieve higher precision, while the mixed precision iterative refinement computes residuals and updates the solution vector in double precision but sol...

A glycolytic model, which is an autocatalytic biochemical system, is solved numerically using two numerical methods based on finite-difference schemes. Method 1, the well known Euler method, is an explicit method, whereas method 2 is implicit. Although the implicit method, method 2, is first-order accurate in time it converges to the fixed point(s) for large time step, ‘. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All...
