In this paper, we present a process for bringing the organizational training department of a software development organization closer to the development projects. We envision an organizational training department that can proactively help the development projects in reducing their defect rate. To achieve this goal we take advantage of the available data at CMMI maturity level 3 organizations. W...

Abstract We present a systematic small-correlation expansion to solve the inverse Ising problem and find a set of couplings and fields corresponding to a given set of correlations and magnetizations. Couplings are calculated up to the third order in the correlations for generic magnetizations and to the seventh order in the case of zero magnetizations; in addition, we show how to sum some usefu...

introduction: in today’s world, organizations are attempting to achieve advantages and competitive results. understanding mutual interactions between organizations and using modern management techniques as well as modern management tools might have an influential effect on obtaining optimal organizational results. nowadays, one of the competitive advantages is applying the excellence models. th...

introduction: quality in higher education requires assessment and judgment of goals and strategies, executive policies, operational processes, products and outcomes. the context, input, process, and product (cipp) model is a comprehensive perspective to determine, obtain and prepare. it always tries to provide information in order to make the best decisions related to context, input, process an...

the objective of this study is to measure the city of tehran’s environmental quality in 2006 (the last census year). primarily, with a comparative analysis of a variety of urban sustainability indicator models, a collection of 54 indicators have been chosen and categorized as indicators of increase or decrease in urban environmental quality in the form of a simple mathematical model. based o...

conclusions although the efficacy of nursing doctoral program is good, however, it needs revision to enhance the outcomes of the program in order to meet public needs and to increase learners’ satisfaction. materials and methods this cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 nursing students who were conveniently selected from seven nursing schools. a questionnaire designed based on the patrick...

In [8] the large deviations limit limN→∞(Na) −1 log EZa N for the moments of the partition function ZN in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model [5] was computed for all real a ≥ 0. For a ≥ 1 this result extends the classical physicist’s replica method that corresponds to integer a. We give a new proof for a ≥ 1 in the case of the pure p-spin SK model that provides a strong exponential control of th...

We investigate the large deviation behavior of the overlap probability density in the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model using the coupled replica scheme, and compare with the results of a large scale numerical simulation. In the spin glass phase we show that generically, for any model with continuous RSB, 1/N log PN (q) ≈ −A ((|q| − qEA), and compute the first correction to the expansion of A in po...

Using exact diagonalization techniques, we study the dynamical response of the anisotropic disordered Heisenberg model for systems of S=1/2 spins with infinite range random exchange interactions at temperature T=0. The model can be considered as a generalization, to the quantum case, of the well-known Sherrington-Kirkpatrick classical spin glass model. We also compute and study the behavior of ...
