this study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a twenty20 match. based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. the developed measure is called ‘prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams dur...

Predicting the performance of software architectures during early design stages is an active field of research in software engineering. It is expected that accurate predictions minimize the risk of performance problems in software systems by a great extent. This would improve quality and save development time and costs of subsequent code fixings. Although a lot of different methods have been pr...

Abstract Fastenings are crucial for the upgrade of existing structures, by either enhancing structural components or modernising and expanding structures systems. Whilst concrete is prevailing in building stock, new types composites increasingly used to improve sustainability overall performance built assets. The addition short dispersed fibres a material technology with several applications. T...

In this work, several machine learning techniques are presented for nanofiltration modeling. According to the results, specific errors are defined. The rejection due to Nanofiltration increases with pressure but decreases with increasing the concentration of chloride ion. Methods of machine learning represent the rejection of nanofiltration as a function of concentration, pH, pressure and also ...

Query performance prediction aims to determine in advance whether a user’s search request will return a useful answer set. The success of such prediction attempts are currently evaluated by calculating the correlation between the predicted performance and standard information retrieval metrics of system performance such as average precision. However, recent work suggests that there is little re...

The use of computational grids to provide an integrated computer platform, composed of differentiated and distributed systems, presents fundamental resource and workload management questions. Key services such as resource discovery, monitoring and scheduling are inherently more complicated in a grid environment where the resource pool is large, dynamic and architecturally diverse. The authors a...

Nonlinear time series analysis techniques have been proposed to detect changes in the electroencephalography dynamics prior to epileptic seizures. Their applicability in practice to predict seizure onsets is hampered by the present lack of generally accepted standards to assess their performance. We propose an analytic approach to judge the prediction performance of multivariate seizure predict...

One of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. Therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. Software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. Various kinds of effort estimation patter...
