Several metrics have been proposed for recognition of relationships between elements of two Ontologies. Many of these methods select a number of such metrics and combine them to extract existing mappings. In this article, we present a method for selection of more effective metrics – based on data mining techniques. Furthermore, by having a set of metrics, we suggest a data-mining-like means for...

background: little is known about how to introduce complex technologies like arthroscopy into low-income countries. thus, we compared low- versus high-resource intensive methods of teaching basic arthroscopic skills in a randomized controlled trial in haiti. methods: forty-eight haitian orthopaedic surgeons and residents attending an orthopaedic conference in haiti were block randomized to rece...

Besides energy constraint, wireless sensor networks should also be able to provide bounded communication delay when they are used to support real-time applications. In this paper, a new routing metric is proposed. It takes into account both energy and delay constraints. It can be used in AODV. By mathematical analysis and simulations, we have shown the efficiency of this new routing metric.

Successfully introducing a reuse program into an organization requires many things, such as proven processes, an organization for reuse, and management support. However, management needs to understand the value of reuse before they will allocate resources. Key to showing this value is a business case based on consistent, realistic, and easy to understand metrics. I have found that combining rea...

Metrics are key components of any engineering discipline, software engineering is no exception. Software metrics is often used to refer to broad range of measurements for computer software. Since the 1950s (???) when software engineering were greatly researched on, software metrics were developed continuously and became an important research area in the field of software engineering. The need f...

Even though diverse digital watermarking algorithm was developed to protect copyright, existing methods vary in performances according to image characteristics. While there are simple methods suitable for black and white images like medical images, there is an algorithm which shows the performance in complicated images like general nature images. Because of these reasons, evaluation metrics to ...

in this paper, we study a special class of generalized douglas-weyl metrics whose douglas curvature is constant along any finslerian geodesic. we prove that for every landsberg metric in this class of finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if h = 0. then we show that every finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a riemannian if and only if ? = 0.
