In the management area, he proposed shifting from programme budgeting to results-based budgeting (RBB). This was a significant shift in budgeting...

There are numerous forecast models of software development costs, however, various problems become apparent in context to practical application. Standardized methods, such as COCOMO II have to be calibrated at an individual operational level on the basis of the underlying database. This paper presents a new activity based approach that is based on business specific cost data that can be easily ...

The absence of a universally accepted mathematical model for assessment of the effectiveness of drugs in the process of wound healing is one of the problems the health professionals have been faced. In this study, an “empirical” mathematical model is presented to evaluate its reliability from an experimental viewpoint and from a comparative aspect with previous models used to study wound healin...

Mathematical modeling can help the medical community to more fully understand and explore physiological pathological processes within human body provide accurate reliable predictions diagnoses. Neural network models, machine learning statistical among others, have become important tools. The paper details applications of mathematical in field: by building differential equations simulate patient...

magnetic levitation (maglev) is amongst the most advanced technologies that are available to the transportation industries. it has already been noticed by decision makers in many countries around the globe. contrary to such high levels of interest, there are no practical algorithms available to the engineers and/or managers to assist them in analyzing economics of the maglev systems. therefore,...
