This paper describes a new approach to measuring the complexity of software systems with considering their readability. Readability Metrics were proposed by Chung and Yung [8] in 1990. Readability Metrics have been outstanding among the existing software complexity metrics for taking nonphysical software attributes, like readability, into considerations. The applications of Readability Metrics ...

the enormous growth of the world wide web in recent years has made it necessary to perform resource discovery efficiently. for a crawler it is not an simple task to download the domain specific web pages. this unfocused approach often shows undesired results. therefore, several new ideas have been proposed, among them a key technique is focused crawling which is able to crawl particular topical...

The efficiency of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is dependent on the level of event detection reliability it achieves, and the associated consumed amount of energy. In this work, the potential performance improvement gained by using a routing metric that reflects the quality of links in terms of detection reliability is investigated. As a first main contribution, we derive the expression of su...

This paper deals with the quality of e-learning at AL-Balqa Applied University – Jordan. It discusses the already developed measures on the basis of statistical analysis for data gathered from e-learning elements which evaluates the quality of e-learning applications and systems. The main contribution of the paper is the proposal for the quality metrics with the features concerning elearning pl...

In 2012, Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS) had 13 different physician compensation models among its operating units, with most based on productivity metrics. MCHS aimed to transition all physicians to a single compensation model that would facilitate its integration with Mayo Clinic and promote physician engagement with emerging value-based payment models. The new model, which was implemented th...

Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...

In this article we examine a class of wormhole and flux tube like solutions to 5D vacuum Einstein equations. These solutions possess generic local anisotropy, and their local isotropic limit is shown to be conformally equivalent to the spherically symmetric 5D solutions of Ref. [1]. The local anisotropy of these solutions is modeled using the technique of anholonomic frames with respect to whic...
