Abstract Technical debt is a metaphor indicating sub-optimal solutions implemented for short-term benefits by sacrificing the long-term maintainability and evolvability of software. A special type technical explicitly admitted software engineers (e.g. using TODO comment); this called Self-Admitted Debt or SATD. Most work on automatically identifying SATD focuses source code comments. In additio...

This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...

OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize the differences seen after low or high pressure coronary artery stent deployment as assessed by intravascular ultrasound. BACKGROUND Until 1992, the success of stent deployment was assessed by angiographic criteria only, but in 1993 the procedure was expanded to include postprocedural single-use intravascular ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound criteria for suc...

INTRODUCTION Although parachute landing injuries are thought to be due in part to a lack of exposure of trainees to realistic descent velocities during parachute landing fall (PLF) training, no research has systematically investigated whether PLF technique is affected by different vertical descent conditions, with standardized and realistic conditions of horizontal drift. This study was designe...
