Software metrics are used to check and evaluate various aspects of the complexity of a software product. Coupling and Cohesion are considered to be the most important attributes. The increasing need for software quality measurements has led to extensive research into software metrics and the development of software metric tools. Many Software Metrics have been proposed for object oriented parad...

Often software systems are developed by organizations consisting of many teams of individuals working together. Brooks states in the Mythical Man Month book that product quality is strongly affected by organization structure. Unfortunately there has been little empirical evidence to date to substantiate this assertion. In this paper we present a metric scheme to quantify organizational complexi...

Software metrics play an important role in determining the quality of software. There are various attributes of quality that need to be understood for developing better quality software. These factors include coupling, cohesion, complexity, maintainability, testability etc. Hence metrics are required to calculate the values for all these quality attributes. This study focuses on developing metr...

Bioinformatics refers computational biology that merges with other fields of sciences like applied mathematics, statistics, chemistry for solving biological problems. The research areas in this field include sequence analysis, protein-protein interaction, gene expression analysis which leads it path in drug discovery, disease identification, and evolutionary relationships. At present the bioinf...

We present a novel way of using object oriented design metrics as to support for the incremental development of object oriented programs. Based on a quality model (factor-criteria-metrics model), so-called multi-metrics relate a number of simple structural measurements to design principles and rules. Single components of an object oriented program like classes or subsystems are analyzed to dete...

We propose and evaluate a family of metrics, named the eXtended Cumulated Gain (XCG) metrics, for the evaluation of content-oriented XML retrieval approaches. Our aim is to provide an evaluation framework that allows to consider the dependency that exists among XML document components and, in particular, incorporate mechanisms to reward the retrieval of so-called nearmisses and to address issue...

Introduction: In the current study, we compared h5-index provided by Google Scholar (GS), impact factor (IF) provided by web of sciences (WOS), and SCImago journal rank indicator (SJR) provided by SCOPUS for quality assessment of nuclear medicine journals. Methods: 2013 h5-index, 2012 IF, and 2011 SJR of nuclear medicine journals were extracted from their publishers namely GS, WOS, and SCOPUS....

Network operators increasingly focus their attention on fulfilling the expectations of quality of experience (QoE) for the delivery of video services to their users. Therefore, it is important to analyze the correlation between objective and subjective QoE metrics such as PSNR (Peak Signal Noise Ratio), SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Metric), VQM (Video Quality Metric), and MOS (Mean Opinion...

In this paper we perform some non-trivial tests for the recently obtained open membrane/Dbrane metrics and ‘generalized’ noncommutativity parameters using Dp/NS5/M5-branes which have been deformed by light-like fields. The results obtained give further evidence that these open membrane/D-brane metrics and ‘generalized’ noncommutativity parameters are correct. Further, we use the open brane data...
