Recently many cases of missing children between ages 14 and 17 years have been reported. Parents always worry about the possibility kidnapping their children. This work proposes an Android-based solution to aid parents track in real-time. Nowadays, most mobile phones are equipped with internet service capabilities allowing them connect world. The system's architecture is built on two main compo...

OBJECTIVE To determine the most cost-effective screening programme for cervical cancer. DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis from a societal perspective. SETTING The Netherlands. POPULATION Dutch women who have not been invited for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. METHODS We calibrated the microsimulation screening analysis (MISCAN) model to Dutch epidemiological data. We used this...

Existing algorithmic models fail to produce accurate software development effort estimates. To address this problem, a case-based reasoning model, called Estor, was developed based on the verbal protocols of a human expert solving a set of estimation problems. Estor was then presented with 15 software effort estimation tasks. The estimates of Estor were compared to those of the expert as well a...

background considerable development of mri technology in diagnostic imaging, high cost of mri technology and controversial issues concerning official charges (tariffs) have been the main motivations to define and implement this study. objectives the present study aimed to calculate the unit-cost of mri services using activity-based costing (abc) as a modern cost accounting system and to fairly ...

Advances in software process technology have rendered some existing methods of size assessment and effort estimation inapplicable. The use of automation in the software process, however, provides an opportunity for the development of more appropriate software sizebased effort estimation models. A specification-based size assessment method has therefore been developed and tested in relation to p...

Application Service Maintenance(ASM) projects mainly use Activity-Based software estimation methodology compared to Function Point or Lines of Code Estimation methodologies[1]. This is due to the nature of execution of ASM Projects differ with nature of execution of development projects. Activity based estimation methodology breaks estimation at each sub activities level of Software Development...
