Review and empirical analysis of machine learning-based software effort estimation by Rahman, Mizanur, Sarwar, Hasan, Abdul Kader, Md, Goncalves, Teresa C.F., Ting, Tin Tin

“…The evaluation was carried out on seven benchmark datasets: Albrecht, Desharnais, China, Kemerer, Mayazaki94, Maxwell, and COCOMO, which are publicly available and extensively used in SEE research. By carefully reviewing study quality, analyzing results across the literature, and rigorously evaluating experimental outcomes, clear conclusions were drawn about the most promising techniques for achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in estimating software effort. …”

Uncertainty & robustness for single-cell studies by Shiffman, Miriam

“…To distill relevant signal from biological phenomena, then, analyses must combine information in a careful and coherent way across cells. In light of these complexities, it is prudent that single-cell analyses incorporate notions of uncertainty and robustness to guide their interpretation and inform future decision making. …”

Influence of water content and anisotropy on the strength and deformability of low porosity meta-sedimentary rocks under triaxial compression by Li, Diyuan, Wong, Louis Ngai Yuen, Liu, Gang, Zhang, Xiao-Ping

“…Before conducting the triaxial tests, the physical properties of meta-siltstone and meta-sandstone specimens have been carefully examined. The water contents of both tested rocks are very low, for instance, 0.17% for meta-siltstone and 0.10% for meta-sandstone. …”

Three physiological responses in fathers and non-fathers’ to vocalizations of typically developing infants and infants with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Esposito, Gianluca, Valenzi, Stefano, Islam, Tanvir, Bornstein, Marc H.

“…Fathers were calmer and acted more promptly than non-fathers while listening to typical cries, perhaps because the fathers had more experience in caring for crying infants. These findings point to similarities and differences in fathers’ and non-fathers’ physiological responsiveness to cries of children with ASD and might guide specific intervention programs for parents of children at risk of ASD.…”
