Human factors in agile software development by Lin, Jun

“…To address these three questions, we have conducted a series of experiments, simulations and data analysis, and contributed a series of solutions and insights in this research, including 1) a Goal Net based method to enhance goal and requirement management for ASD process, 2) a novel Simple Multi-Agent Real-Time (SMART) approach to enhance intelligent task allocation for ASD process, 3) a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method to enhance emotion and morale management for ASD process, 4) a large-scale in-depth empirical analysis of human factors in the agile development process through the continuous observation of student ASD teams, and 5) the identification of an ASD process as a human-computation system that uses humans to perform tasks that computers are not good at and computers to assist human decision making.…”

Quantitative analysis of coronary artery from computed tomography angiography images by Cui, Hengfei

“…When correlating with myocardial perfusion assessment or coronary blood flow, lumen area evaluation is expected to be preferable to diameter quantification [5, 6, 7, 8]. It is intuitive that diameter assessment is difficult when considering irregular arterial lumen shapes at lesion sites [9]. …”

Optimized GPU algorithms for sparse data problems by Pham, Nguyen Quang Anh

“…Our SpGEMM algorithm efficiently enumerates all the work done during a computation to achieve perfect load balancing, and also uses a randomized algorithm to nearly optimally partition the matrix into pieces small enough to be operated on using the fast but limited amount of shared memory. It is up to 2.5× faster than the state of the art GPU SpGEMM algorithm on the most difficult, unstructured matrices. …”

Studies of insulin transport across intestinal epithelium using nano-encapsulation for oral delivery by Zhang, Yiming

“…With only 1 layer of insulin loaded on the surface of liposomes, the transport of insulin across Caco-2 cells was enhanced by 2.6 fold from 5.7ng/ml to 15ng/ml. An enhancement factor of more than 8x was observed with just 2 layers of insulin coating. …”

Association of current Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum, and Schistosoma mekongi infection status and intensity with periportal fibrosis: a systematic review and meta-ana... by Ewuzie, A, Wilburn, L, Thakrar, DB, Cheng, H, Reitzug, F, Roberts, N, Malouf, R, Chami, GF

“…In sub-Saharan Africa, before the widespread introduction of mass drug administration in 2003 there was a significant association between current infection status and periportal fibrosis (OR 5·38, 95% CI 2·03–14·25) but this association was no longer present after 2003 (1·19, 0·82–1·74). …”
