This document presents software product metrics we usually use to build software defect prediction models. 1 Software product metrics This document presents software product metrics we usually use to build software defect prediction models, especially those built by Madeyski and Jureczko [6, 5, 4]. • The metrics suite suggested by Chidamber and Kemerer [2]: Weighted Methods per Class (WMC). The...

The economic feasibility of a facility producing monosaccharides, hydrogen and transportation fuels via fast pyrolysis and upgrading pathway was evaluated by modeling a 2000 dry metric ton biomass/day facility using Aspen Plus®. Equipment sizing and cost were based on Aspen Economic Evaluation® software. The results indicate that monosaccharide production capacity could reach 338 metric tons/da...

It is shown that the first order (Palatini) variational principle for a generic nonlinear metric-affine Lagrangian depending on the (symmetrized) Ricci square invariant leads to an almost-product Einstein structure or to an almost-complex anti-Hermitian Einstein structure on a manifold. It is proved that a real anti-Hermitian metric on a complex manifold satisfies the Kähler condition on the sa...

Attackers continually innovate and craft attacks that penetrate existing defenses. New security product purchasing decisions are key in order to keep organizations as secure as possible. Current information available to inform these decisions is often limited to individual security product detection/blocking rates for some test set of attacks. Actual security performance, however, depends on ho...

The Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP) is one of the most widely studied discrete location problems, whose applications arise in a variety of settings. We tackle the UFLP using probabilistic inference in a graphical model an approach that has received little attention in the past. We show that the fixed points of max-product linear programming (MPLP), a convexified version of the ma...

The increasing emphasis on quality software has prompted the need for better software quality management using data driven and statistical methods. Various measures of development and released software quality have been created to make the process measurable, repeatable, and continuously improving. Defect Removal Efficiency (DRE) is one of the commonly used metrics for measuring the efficiency ...

IT industry should inculcate effective defect management on a continual basis to deploy nearly a zerodefect product to their customers. Inspection is one of the most imperative and effective strategies of defect management. Nevertheless, existing defect management strategies in leading software industries are successful to deliver a maximum of 96% defect-free product. An empirical study of vari...

A Riemannian almost product structure on a manifold induces on a submanifold of codimension 1 a structure generalizing the paracontact structures and containing a Riemannain metric and an one form . We show that the pair consisting of this Riemannian metric and one form defines a strongly convex Randers metric on submanifold. We establish some properties of this Randers metric and we provide so...
