The principal problem that affects software development projects is low quality requirements specifications. Low quality requirements specifications make it difficult to develop high quality software. We propose using the Estimated Function Point Counting (EFPC) method of software size estimation as a surrogate process for Requirements Engineering (RE) process, especially for the organizations ...

We now consider the problem of determining the number of points on an elliptic curve E over a finite field Fq. The most näıve approach one could take would be to evaluate the curve equation y2 = x3 + Ax + B for E at every pair (x, y) ∈ Fq , count the number of solutions, and add 1 for the point at infinity. This takes O(q2M(log q)) time. Note that the input to this problem is the pair of coeffi...

We give an algorithm for counting points on arbitrary ordinary elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic 2, extending the O(log q) method given by Takakazu Satoh, giving the asymptotically fastest point counting algorithm known to date.

for assessment and comparison of measuring density methods of festuca ovina, bromus tomentellus and prangos ferulacea, three plants communities are selected. in all of plant community, reference area was defined and samples 7000 (70*100) square meter was selected. whole the area, sampling was accumplished as systematic-random. in each area, 5 transect 100 meter are established. then in areas 70...

recent studies on wavelet transform and fractal modeling applied on mammograms for the detection of cancerous tissues indicate that microcalcifications and masses can be utilized for the study of the morphology and diagnosis of cancerous cases. it is shown that the use of fractal modeling, as applied to a given image, can clearly discern cancerous zones from noncancerous areas. in this paper, f...
