Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) hat in den letzten Jahren auch in Deutschland zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Firmen und Organisationen, die sich mit der Entwickung von Software-Systemen beschäftigen, wollen mit CMMI den Reifegrad ihres Softwareentwicklungsprozesses messen und bewerten können. Die Entwicklung des CMMI begann in den 1980er Jahren mit dem Vorläufer CMM (Cabability M...

Background: Meniere’s disease (MD) is a chronic illness defined as an idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a balance disorder and can be the sequel of diverse inner ear impairments. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of BPPV in MD patients. Materials and Methods: All patients with definite or prob...

This study utilizes process control techniques to identify action limits for TomoTherapy couch positioning quality assurance tests. A test was introduced to monitor accuracy of the applied couch offset detection in the TomoTherapy Hi-Art treatment system using the TQA "Step-Wedge Helical" module and MVCT detector. Individual X-charts, process capability (cp), probability (P), and acceptability ...

In this paper, we propose a novel technique for the automatic design of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by evolving to the optimal network configuration(s) within an architecture space. It is entirely based on a multi-dimensional Particle Swarm Optimization (MD PSO) technique, which re-forms the native structure of swarm particles in such a way that they can make inter-dimensional passes with...

Abstract Metalenses have potential to replace various bulky conventional optical elements with ultrathin nanostructure arrays. In particular, active metalenses reconfigurable focusing capability attracted considerable interest from the academic and industrial communities. However, their tuning range is currently restricted by limited material properties fabrication difficulties. Here, a hybrid ...

Insertion and deletion (insdel for short) errors are synchronization in communication systems caused by the loss of positional information message. Reed-Solomon codes have gained a lot interest due to its encoding simplicity, well structuredness list-decoding capability classical setting. This also translates insdel metric setting, as Guruswami-Sudan decoding algorithm can be utilized provide c...
