the standardized precipitation index (spi) has become a popular measure of drought across the globe. in this study, standardized precipitation index (spi) was used in annual period of time to survey on drought. also, in order to zonation frequency of drought, geographic information system (gis) software and kriging method used for extracting dry areas. the zoning maps show most severe drought i...

introduction: one of the software packages designed for libraries and documenting centres is unesco cds/isis mini-micro software package. most libraries in iran have a copy of it. this research was aimed to investigate the degree of its application in central libraries of medical sciences universities in 2004. methods and materials: it is a descriptive study in which a questionnaire was used to...

Metrics are usually defined on a micro level like methods, classes and packages. These are failed to provide an adequate picture of the entire system effectively. By combine different metrics with varying output values and ranges to get insight in the evolution of the macro level system. We listed various metrics like Product, Project & Process and also various aggregation techniques in Traditi...

We present a physical model that explains the dependence of UV cross section ClOOCl on temperature in actinic wavelength region measured before by J.J. Lin, A.F. Chen and Y.T. Lee [Chemistry — An Asian Journal, 6, 1664–1678 (2011)]. It was unclear why there are frequency regions which decreases with increasing others it increases. This interesting behaviour is now shown to be due non-rigidity m...

How can we measure research software? Is it possible to compare it, given the myriad different research domains, practices and pieces of software? Do we even need to do this, and what benefits might it bring? This position paper sets out the reasons for why different stakeholders, from users to developers to funders, might wish to undertake this difficult task, and describes a proposed framewor...

Cohesion was rst introduced as a software attribute that could be used to predict properties of implementations that would be created from a given design. Unfortunately, cohesion, as originally de ned, could not be objectively assessed, while more recently developed objective cohesion measures depend on code-level information. We show that association-based and slice-based approaches can be use...
