One of the major difficulties in controlling software development project cost overruns and schedule delays has been developing practical and accurate software cost models. Software development could be modeled as an economic production process and we therefore propose a theoretical approach to software cost modeling. Specifically, we present the Minimum Software Cost Model (MSCM), derived from economic production theory and systems optimization. The MSCM model is compared with other widely used software cost models, such as COCOMO and SLIM, on the basis of goodness of fit and quality of estimation using software project data sets available in the literature. Judged by both criteria, the MSCM model is comparable to, if not better than, the SLIM, and significantly better than the rest of the models. In addition, the MSCM model provides some insights about the behavior of software development processes and environment, which could be used to formulate guidelines for better software project management polic es and practices.

In the last years, Virtual Reality (VR) has been established itself as a highly promising media technology for reconstruction and presentation of cultural heritage sites to a wide audience. Virtual Reality enables not only an exploration of a single artefact but of many virtual objects spatially and temporally arranged into a single scene. The users enter an artificially created space and get a feeling of being a part of it. They can perceive and interact with the objects in the virtual environment in natural way. In this paper we propose a conceptual model of the VR module for the “Virtual Plaza for Immersive Representation of Bulgarian Cultural Heritage Sites”. It contains an analysis of the possible input data and the developed workflows to help experts from the cultural heritage domain to implement various scenarios for presentation of single artefacts and complete scene par of cultural heritage site using the benefits of Virtual Reality as visualization medium.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of S - -ideals in both commutative and noncommutative rings. For a commutative ring R and a multiplicatively closed subset S , we show that many properties of -ideals apply to S - -ideals and examine their characteristics in various ring constructions, such as homomorphic image rings, quotient rings, cartesian product rings, polynomial rings, power series rings, idealization rings, and amalgamation rings. In noncommutative rings, where S is an m -system, we define right S - -ideals. We demonstrate the equivalence of S - -ideals and right S - -ideals in commutative rings with identity and provide examples to illustrate the connections between right S -prime ideals and -ideals.

This paper details the use of a circuit-based EM modelling technique combined with a harmonic balance simulator used to model the radiation from the microstrip bodies comprising an active antenna circuit. The modelling approach adopted for the planar bodies in the circuit will be shown to allow the use of concurrent algorithms in order to reduce overall computational time.

Japanese encephalitis (JE), a public health problem for the entire world, is caused by a virus called Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) which is spread by mosquitoes. According to WHO’s report, nearly 68000 clinical cases of JE are reported globally each year and approximately 13600 to 20400 are deaths. Here, a mathematical model of JE is formulated considering different control measures such as vaccination, treatment, insecticide and efforts to reduce environmental discharges. An explicit expression of basic reproduction number is formulated and the stability of disease-free and endemic equilibrium of the system is analyzed. In this paper, we have formulated an optimal control problem and analyzed different strategies considering the minimum cost for applying such strategies. We have investigated the results of fixed control for endemic equilibrium both numerically and graphically. We have solved the optimal problem numerically when control parameters are time-dependent by applying Runge-Kutta 4th order forward and backward method and presented graphically. In our present work, we discussed the best cost-effective control strategy to prevent Japanese encephalitis when we consider environmental discharges have a positive impact on the breeding of mosquitoes and the growth of the pig population.

This study discusses the relationship between perceived stress and emotional eating based on shiftwork in city bus drivers. It was conducted with 1403 male city bus drivers working in Istanbul. Questions about the drivers’ physical activity and dietary habits, the Healthy Diet Index (HDI), Emotional Appetite Questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale-10 data were collected and evaluated in two groups: shift and non-shift employees. It was found that the shift workers (SWs) have lower perceived stress, physical activity, HDI and positive emotional appetite averages. In addition, for SWs, a positive correlation was found between negative emotional appetite scores and physical activity and HDI scores. In conclusion, the drivers working in shifts were found to be slightly overweight and had lower physical activity levels, had lower HDI scores, and their nutritional status was more negatively impacted than their counterparts.
