Assessing Mature Technology

CFD-Mature Technology?

Over the past 30 years, numerical methods and simulation tools for fluid dynamic problems have advanced as a new discipline, namely, computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Although a wide spectrum of flow regimes are encountered in many areas of science and engineering, simulation of compressible flow has been the major driver for developing computational algorithms and tools. This is probably due...

Combined PET/MR: a technology becomes mature.

The combination of PET and MR imaging forms a powerful new imaging modality, PET/MR. The major advantages of concurrent PET/MR acquisitions range from patient comfort and increased throughput to multiparametric imaging and are evaluated and reviewed in this paper specifically with respect to their applications in research and diagnostics. Alongside the use of PET/MR in the field of preclinical ...

Is genomic selection now a mature technology?

Information Technology for Assessing Student Learning

There are a number of reasons for this growing interest by research and industry in applying IT to the assessment of student learning. First, there is the increase in the number of students attending institutions of higher education. Most universities offer a portion of their required freshman classes in lectures of hundred or more students. Bjedov (cited in Valenti, Cucchiarelli, & Panti, 2001...

A Dss for Assessing Technology Environments

Assessing the external environment is an important component of organizations' survival and success. Unfortunately, a huge amount of information must be collected and processed in order to obtain a thorough and comprehensive representation of the environment. A decision support system can be very useful in helping decision makers to organize and analyze this information efficiently and effectiv...
