Introduction: Universities are the centers of interactions and communications and a basic of scientific products and publications in the country. Scientific production and publications are surveyed and evaluated for various reasons. Evaluation criteria with regard to the location, type and circumstances are different and are occasionally changed and new. In this study, we survey the new metrics...

Defect predictors are helpful tools for project managers and developers. Accurate predictors may help reducing test times and guide developers for implementing higher quality codes. We propose a statistical defect predictor model with two major differences from the existing ones. Our model will use static code measures as input, since they can easily be collected with automated tools and preven...

Since usage of digital video is wide spread nowadays, quality considerations have become essential, and industry demand for video quality measurement is rising. This proposal provides a method of perceptual quality assessment in H.264 standard encoder using objective modeling. For this purpose, quality impairments are calculated and a model is developed to compute the perceptual video quality m...

Electroenchephalography (EEG) recordings collected with developmental populations present particular challenges from a data processing perspective. These EEGs have a high degree of artifact contamination and often short recording lengths. As both sample sizes and EEG channel densities increase, traditional processing approaches like manual data rejection are becoming unsustainable. Moreover, su...

This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and MAKER-P to annotate protein-coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled genomes, update/combine legacy annotations in light of new evidence, add quality metrics to annotations from other pipelines, and map existing annotations to a new assembly. MAKER and MAKER-P can rapidly annotate genomes of any size, and...

The mapping of draft standards work in the area of product quality measurement to industry practice has lead to a discussion on the importance of the previous knowledge of the design and support environment is necessary for correct interpretation of static source code metrics. We have found no intersection between the proposed internal metrics of the ISO9126 draft standard and the one extracted...

The enumeration of shortest paths in cubic grid is presented here. The cubic grid considers three neighborhods— 6-neighborhood (face connectivity), 18-neighborhood (edge connectivity), and 26-neighborhood (vertex connectivity). The formulation for distance metrics are given here. L1, D18, and L∞ are the three metrics for 6-neighborhood, 18-neighborhood, and 26-neighborhood. The problem is to fi...

Numerous studies suggest that gamma-band synchronization is central to visual processing, yet most of them have used artificial stimuli. A new study using electrocorticography (ECoG) in humans reported finding no gamma for many natural images and for visual noise. However, we highlight that sensitive metrics can reveal clear gamma not only for natural images, but for noise stimuli and even duri...

Computers play a vital role in industry and government. Since the hardware of modern systems relies heavily on the supporting software, which can critically affect lives. Many applications (e.g., life support systems, mission-critical systems, nuclear power plants etc) require correct and reliable software. The increased importance of software also places more requirements on it. Thus, it is ne...

Software measures are of paramount importance to evaluate both processes and products. However, collecting such data requires a large effort and this activity produces benefits only in the long term. For these reasons, companies have to use automated tools able to collect data without affecting both the productivity and the process. This approach is useful to reduce the effort related to the me...
