Experimental Evaluation of the Cleanroom Software Development Method
(1992-03-01)The field of software engineering is evolving as various new techniques, languages, paradigms, process models, methodologies, metrics etc., are constantly being developed, used and improved. In the past, several empirical ... -
Experiments on Incremental Clustering
(1991-08-01)Clustering of very large document databases is essential to reduce the spacehime complexity of information retrieval. The periodic updating of clusters is required due to the dynamic nature of databases. An algorithm for ... -
Experiments on the Efficiency of Cluster Searches
(1991-03-01)The efficiency of various cluster based retrieval (CBR) strategies is analyzed. The possibility of combining CBR and inverted index search (11s) is investigated. A method for combining the two approaches is proposed and ... -
Experiments on Tunable Indexing
(1988-04-01)The effectiveness and efficiency of an Information Retrieval (IR) system depends on the quality of its indexing system. Indexing con be used in inverted file systemsor in cluster-based retrieval. In this article, new concept ... -
An Expert System Shell Performing the Generic Task of Hierarchical Classification
(1993-01-01)Any expert system shell that performs with the generic task of hierarchical classificiation must deal explicitly with the issues of knowledge representations, control strategies, inductive learning, and ways of handling ... -
An exploration of gender gap using advanced data science tools: actuarial research community
This paper explores the role of gender gap in the actuarial research community with advanced data science tools. The web scraping tools were employed to create a database of publications that encompasses six major actuarial ... -
Extending Composite Loss Models Using a General Framework of Advanced Computational Tools
Composite models have a long history in actuarial science because they provide a flexible method of curve-fitting for heavy-tailed insurance losses. The ongoing research in this area continuously suggests methodological ... -
Factors affecting willingness of social work students to accept jobs in aging
The aging of the United States population is creating an increased need for social workers and other helping professionals with training in gerontology. Recent estimates indicate that less than three percent of MSW students ... -
Final data and measures for JSP 2020 - extroversion congruence
Organizational research commonly proposes that leader and/or follower extraversion will be positively related to leader-member exchange (LMX). The assumption is that being social translates into high-quality relationships. ... -

Fouling-Release Performance of Silicone Oil-Modified SiloxanePolyurethane Coatings
The effect of incorporation of silicone oils into a siloxanepolyurethane fouling-release coatings system was explored. Incorporation of phenylmethyl silicone oil has been shown to improve the fouling-release performance ... -
Four Positions of Leadership in Planning, Implementing, and Sustaining Faculty Learning Community Programs
This chapter describes four new leadership areas in the development of faculty learning community programs and provides perspectives and resources that these leaders can use to engage their work. -
Freezing impairment of male reproductive behaviors of the freeze-tolerant wood frog, Rana sylvatica.
The wood frog (Rana sylvatica), a temperate-zone anuran that overwinters within the frost zone, is adapted to tolerate the freezing and thawing of its tissues. Because the effects of freezing on complex neurobehavioral ... -
Full-Cycle Assessment of Critical Thinking in an Ethics and Science Course
Enhancing critical thinking skills for undergraduate students is important across the curriculum and between disciplines. We report on a method of improving critical thinking skills, which was studied through an Ethics and ... -
Functions of personal experience and of expression of regret
Although learning and preparing for future behavior are well-established functions of regret, social functions have been largely ignored. We suggest a new model of the functions of regret, the Privately Experienced versus ... -
Gamification in SE Courses
The sources and styles of student motivation have changed as the use of computing technology has become more ubiquitous. Instructors observations often lead to the conclusion that students’ attention span has shorten. ...
