Comparative analysis between FPA and COCOMO techniques for software cost estimation
… cost. In this thesis, Function Point Analysis (FPA) and Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) have been used to estimate software project cost of two case studies. They are Web-Based Dog’s Diseases Diagnosis System (WBDDDS) and Sugar Bun Online Bakery System (SBOBSE). By using FPA, it was shown that …

Gated multi-cycle integration (GMCI) for focal plane array (FPA) applications
… well of 106 electrons, the sensitivity of the FPA operated at PSI mode could be improved by 3 orders. In addition, the transmission windows of PSI peak at odd harmonics of the modulation frequency, and therefore, the detector's IN and other low frequency noise can be attenuated. A switched …

A Naturalistic Inquiry Into the Lived Experience of Nurse Practitioners Who Have Full Practice Authority
Full Practice Authority (FPA) is one of three types of practice authority that a nurse practitioner (NP) can obtain through state licensure, depending on the state where the NP plans to practice. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) explains that FPA entails “…the authorization of …

Characterization of spectral response of a quantum dots-in-a-well infrared focal plane array
… (DWELL) infrared focal plane array (FPA) was undertaken and reported here. The hypothesis of the study is that the FPA will exhibit bias-tunable spectral response. Broadband and two-color performance measures of the DWELL FPA are discussed and presented. The DWELL structure is a …

Impact of full practice authority for nurse practitioners in Michigan : a policy analysis
… shows that NPs with full practice authority (FPA) can increase access to safe, high-quality, cost-effective care and improve patient outcomes (AANP, 2021). FPA is the legal permission for NPs to practice to the full extent of their education, training, and certification without physician …

Presumptive identification of smooth Brucella strain antibodies in canines
… abortus Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA). Test interpretation results yielded a 0% (0/95) smooth Brucella strain seropositivity rate, with 2% (2/95) of dogs yielding inconclusive rough Brucella strain serology results (0-2% rough strain seropositivity rate). Additionally, a …

Investigation of thermal electric cooler-less microbolometer infrared imaging
… Cooler (TEC) to stabilize the Focal Plane Array (FPA). An FPA is an array of microbolometers which are small vanadium oxide elements whose resistances are very sensitive to IR radiation. The ability to run an imaging module without the TEC results in significant reduction in FPA package size, …

Performance properties optimization of triaxial ceramic-palm oil fuel ash by employing Taguchi design and flower pollination algorithm
… Taguchi design and Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA). The recycled POFA was evaluated through the POFA layer formation method where selected POFA layers were employed as filler raw material. This research also provided the chronology of Taguchi design and FPA regarding the production of triaxial …

An Exploration of parametric software cost estimating models for Jackson Systems Development
… for JSD projects. One of these methods JSD-FPA, is a top-down estimating method, based on the existing MKII function point method. The other method, JSD-COCOMO, is a sizing technique which sizes a project, in terms of lines of code, from the process structure diagrams and thus provides an …

Hybrid optimisation electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness:mechanical and physical performance of plaster mortar containing palm oil fuel ash using taguchi grey and taguchi-flower pollination algorithm methods
… Taguchi-grey and Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) methods. The feasibility of the optimization was evaluated by repeating the experiments. Initially, the POFA was refined and segregated into 4 different layers. Layer 1 POFA performed highest SE with 25.76 dB at 1 GHz where the SE was decreased …
