Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Accuracy of Effort Estimation through Fuzzy Set Representation of SizeCh. Satyananda Reddy, KVSVN RajuProblem statement: The precision and reliability of the effort estimation is very important for the competitiveness of software companies. The uncertainty at the input level of the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) yields uncertainty at the output, which leads to gross estimation error in the effort estimation. Fuzzy logic-based cost estimation models are more appropriate when vague and imprecise information was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtility of Certain Π Acceptors for Spectrophotometric Determination of Sildenafil CitrateNora H. Al-ShaalanSildenafil citrate was determined through charge transfer complexes (CTC) formation with three electron acceptor reagents. The methods involve the reaction of Sildenafil citrate as n-donor with either Chloranil (tetrachloro 1,4-benzoquinone), tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) or 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as n-acceptors, to give a stable and highly colored radical anion. The colored products were quantified spectrophotometrically.
