Quality Assurance Practices in Open-Source Versus Closed-Source Software Development: A Comparative Analysis
Abstract: Quality assurance (QA) is a decisive factor in determining whether software, whether openly developed or commercially closed, meets the reliability, maintainability, and usability expectations of its users. Open-source software (OSS) and closed-source software (CSS) pursue quality through structurally different mechanisms: OSS relies on distributed peer review, community-driven testing, and transparent issue tracking, while CSS depends on centralized quality departments, contractual accountability, and controlled release cycles. This article presents a comparative …

Analysis of the Security of Open-source Software
Abstract: Open-source software replaces today in companies, authorities and private environment, more and more commercial closed source software and has become by widespread use an attractive target for hackers. This development has led to a debate about security of open-source software compared to closed Source software. However, it is difficult to model the different influences of the two strategies on software security. The published models either do not consider the difference …

Open Source Technology
Abstract: Free and open source software has had a major impact on the computer industry since the late 1990s and has changed the way software is perceived, developed and deployed in many areas. Free and open source technology or software is typically developed in a collaborative fashion and the majority of contributors are volunteers. Even though this collaborative form of development has produced a significant body of software, the development process …

Caching Proposal Based on Least Recently Used Algorithm and AVL Tree
Abstract: In proxy caching, the cache server gets the request for an object from a consumer. A cache is most likely saved in memory or on disk. A memory cache is in the main greater hastily to study from than a disk cache. The Least Recently Used (LRU) cache replacement calculation is a straightforward and by and large utilized plan. Proxy caching is a unique procedure to lower network traffic and …

Potential Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farm Development Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Abstract: The energy consumption of most developing countries like Ethiopia highly depends on biomass and imported fuels. These sources of energy have imposed severe impacts on the environment.Recently, Ethiopia has begun to harness electricity from renewable energies mainly from hydro- dams to meet its energy need. However, the existing energy production of the hydro-dams declines during dry season due to shortage of river waters. So, it is important to look for …

Influence of Horizontal Crossflow on the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: A Numerical Approach
Abstract: Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) is a typical occurrence in natural events, engineering, and industrial applications. When the lighter fluid (bottom medium) is forcing the heavier fluid (top medium) on top of the lighter fluid because of a gravitational field, then that phenomenon is called Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI). Despite extensive records of investigating this common phenomenon i.e., RTI with several unique boundary conditions, apparently, there are no prior investigations for the RTI …

Energy-Efficient Parallel Computing for Edge Devices: Techniques, Challenges, and Emerging Research Directions
Abstract: Edge computing brings computation closer to data sources, which supports low-latency applications but places substantial demands on energy-constrained and heterogeneous devices. Parallel execution across multicore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators can improve responsiveness, but it also complicates scheduling, power management, and resource allocation. This review examines six closely related technique families: energy-aware task scheduling, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), task offloading and resource allocation, artificial-intelligence-based optimization, hardware acceleration, …

Effect of Anodization Process Parameters on Morphology of Porous Anodic Aluminum Oxide and Carbon Nanotubes Grown by CVD
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Synthesis of well-ordered carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be achieved by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a carbon source onto a porous anodic aluminum oxide (PAAO) template. The structure of the PAAO template or film is a close-packed array of hexagonal cells, each containing a cylindrical central pore that is perpendicular to the surface of the underlying aluminum substrate. The diameter, depth and …

Modulation of Receptor Proteins: A Recent Paradigm in Drug Discovery and Target
Abstract: The main aim in drug discovery is to design different ligands those work on specific drug targets. However, various effective drugs work through the modulation of many proteins than single target. Advancement in system biology are establishing a phenotypic strength and a network structure, which suggests that, the excellent selective compounds may be performed less than desired clinical efficacy in comparison to multi-target drugs. In this new appreciation of the …
