Enhancing User Experience in Free and Open-Source Software: An Integrated Maturity Model Framework by Elif Zamir, Abdul Rehman, Sara Zamir, Fuad A. M. Al-Yarimi, Assad Abbas

“…Several pre-existing models have significantly contributed to the existing body of knowledge, yet they often overlook FOSS-specific attributes that establish a direct correlation with the efficiency of the UX in FOSS. To address this gap, the study proposes a FOSS UX enhancement model (FUEM) designed to align with current FOSS practices and guidelines, aiming to improve user experience in free and open-source software. …”

The emotional compound of information and its volume estimation by M. Yu. Sverdlov

“…The obtained results are the following: a relative share of the pragmatic component promptly decreases at the background of rapid growth of digital information amount; the emotional component of information messages and flows is the most significant while measuring their amount and quality; it is offered to estimate the degree of the information resource emotional efficiency by means of an aggregative dimensionless indicator; saturation of information messages and flows with an emotional component should determine further tendencies of upgrading the information space, including library resources.…”

Achieving tip-based down-milling forming of nanograting structures with variable heights through precise control of nano revolving trajectories by Bo Xue, Huilin Yan, Zhengchang Liu, Yongda Yan, Yanquan Geng

“…By analyzing the forming mechanisms of nanogratings under various trajectories with finite element simulation, the desired undeformed grating area is successfully achieved, which is mainly extruded by the tip flank face to form the right facet of the grating, resulting in a small deformation degree and a high deformation efficiency. Three distinct types of revolving trajectories are filtered out according to five quantitative evaluation indicators for machining performance, namely material plastic deformation, grating profile consistency, grating height consistency, machining forces, and area transforming height, and then are compared in processing nanogratings with different heights. …”

A Novel Exploration Stage Approach to Improve Crayfish Optimization Algorithm: Solution to Real-World Engineering Design Problems by Harun Gezici

“…In order to compensate these shortcomings, this study proposes an Improved Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (ICOA) that designs the competition stage with three modifications: (1) adaptive step length mechanism inversely proportional to the number of iterations, which enables exploration in early iterations and exploitation in later stages, (2) vector mapping that increases stochastic behavior and improves efficiency in high-dimensional spaces, (3) removing the X_shade parameter in order to abstain from early convergence. …”
