Although a number of approaches have been taken to quality prediction for software, none have achieved widespread applicability. Our aim here is to produce a single model to combine the diverse forms of, often causal, evidence available in software development in a more natural and efficient way than done previously. We use graphical probability models (also known as Bayesian Belief Networks) a...

the aim of this research is to analyse of empirical relationship of fiscal policy and iranian trade account in the years 1338-1385(1959-2006). in and econometrics model the methods of engle and granger (1987), johansen (1988), ardl, pessaran and shin(1998), philips and hansen(1990), have been used to find out the effects of variables such as government expenditures(the component of public deman...

We present an integrated photoacoustic and ultrasonic three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric imaging system based on a two-dimensional (2-D) matrix array ultrasound probe. A wavelength-tunable dye laser pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser serves as the light source and a modified commercial ultrasound imaging system (iU22, Philips Healthcare) with a 2-D array transducer (X7-2, Philips Healthcare) d...

A single development task such as solving a bug or implementing a new feature often involves changing a number of entities, also known together as a change set. Change sets can be approximated from the version control system. They are then used by the architects and developers to take important decisions. So change sets need to be approximated carefully. It is common to assume that two entities...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of plaque removal by 2 different toothbrushes in a laboratory model and in a clinical study. METHOD The 2 brushes used were the Philips/Jordan HP 735 and the Braun Oral-B Ultra Plaque Remover (D9). Both were compared in a laboratory study (using a robot system) and a short-term clinical study. For the laboratory study, p...

Methods 30 patients (21 male, 9 female; median age 69.5 years) with diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis (wild-type n=13, hereditary n=17) were evaluated by cardiac MRI (CMR; Achieva Intera Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands), and Technetium-DPD scintigraphy. EDV, ESV, EF and myocardial mass were analyzed on a standard workstation (Philips Viewforum). Longitudinal function was assessed by m...

Demand variability increases as one moves up a supply chain. The demand for finished products is less variable than for subassemblies, which is less variable than for individual components. This phenomenon is known as the bullwhip or Forrester effect. It increases inventory unnecessarily and makes managing the capacity of equipment and personnel difficult. In 1999, Philips Semiconductors confir...
