TL;DR: It is concluded that when regression analysis was used to design the model, the Sugeno fuzzy inference system with linear output outperformed the other models.
Abstract: Software effort estimation plays a critical role in project management. Erroneous results may lead to overestimating or underestimating effort, which can have catastrophic consequences on project resources. Machine-learning techniques are increasingly popular in the field. Fuzzy logic models, in particular, are widely used to deal with imprecise and inaccurate data. The main goal of this research was to design and compare three different fuzzy logic models for predicting software estimation effort: Mamdani, Sugeno with constant output and Sugeno with linear output. To assist in the design of the fuzzy logic models, we conducted regression analysis, an approach we call regression fuzzy logic. State-of-the-art and unbiased performance evaluation criteria such as standardized accuracy, effect size and mean balanced relative error were used to evaluate the models, as well as statistical tests. Models were trained and tested using industrial projects from the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset. Results showed that data heteroscedasticity affected model performance. Fuzzy logic models were found to be very sensitive to outliers. We concluded that when regression analysis was used to design the model, the Sugeno fuzzy inference system with linear output outperformed the other models.

TL;DR: In this article, the plausibility of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model in predicting internet banking behavior as a newly adopted technology in third world countries was examined.
Abstract: The present research examines the plausibility of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model in predicting internet banking behaviour as a newly adopted technology in third world countries. Data is collected from three Arab countries: Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Confirmatory factor analysis is used to test the hypothesized structural model. Findings are congruent with model testing under conditions of volitional usage behaviour. In this regard, the role of facilitating conditions variable is insignificant as a determinant of usage behaviour. Social norms variable also proved to be weak determinant of behavioural intentions. Findings demonstrate effort expectancy as the key determinant of internet banking usage behaviour in the examined markets, while users’ experience moderates the impact of effort expectancy on behavioural intention. Results should enhance our understanding of internet banking usage in developing countries and support e-services promoting in this region.

TL;DR: The results demonstrates that the proposed SFMCDA method can help systematically analyze fuzzy inputs from contaminant transport modeling, cost implications and stakeholders' preferences, and provide useful ranking information covering a variety of decision-relevant remediation options for decision makers.

TL;DR: In this article, high-efficiency excitonic emission with deep-UV light at room temperature for a (001)-oriented diamond light-emitting diode with an intrinsic diamond layer as an active region was realized.
Abstract: We have realized high-efficiency excitonic emission with deep-UV light at room temperature for a (001)-oriented diamond light-emitting diode with an intrinsic diamond layer as an active region. The boron-doped p-type, non-doped intrinsic, and phosphorus-doped n-type ( p–i–n) junction diode structure was formed by applying an optimized homoepitaxial growth technique based on microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. High-performance p–i–n junction characteristics were confirmed from current–voltage and capacitance–voltage properties. A strong UV light emission at around 240 nm due to free exciton recombination was observed at a forward current of over 6 mA, while the broad visible light emission from deep levels was significantly suppressed compared to that of reported electroluminescence in diamond p–n junctions.
