Software metrics provide means to quantify several attributes of software systems. The effective measurement is dependent on appropriate metric thresholds as they allow characterizing the quality of software systems. Indeed, ...

We analyzed different contrast metrics to scale the stimulus strength for suprathreshold reaction times (RTs) when it is modulated along an achromatic channel (L þ M) and both chromatic channels L/M and S/(L þ M) considering ...

With software-intensive systems growing in size and complexity, better support is required for measuring and controlling the software quality. Software metrics are the practical means for assessing different quality ...

Meaningful thresholds are needed for promoting software metrics as an effective instrument to measure the internal quality of systems. To address this challenge, we propose in this thesis the concept of relative thresholds ...

Mean systolic blood pressure above the control threshold in people with treated uncontrolled hypertension: a pooled, cross-sectional analysis of 55 national health surveys

Software metrics can be an effective measurement tool to assess the quality of software. In the literature, there are a lot of software metrics applicable to systems implemented in different paradigms like Objects Oriented ...

Blood smear image analysis is essential to correlate the amount of leukocytes in these images with malignancies such as the leukemias. Techniques of digital image processing can be used to aid pathologists in this analysis, ...

Feature annotations (e.g., code fragments guarded by ifdef C-preprocessor directives) are widely used to control code extensions related to features. Feature annotations have long been said to be undesirable. When maintaining ...
