Quantitative risk level estimation of business process reengineering efforts
With risk defined as the possibility of deviation in the results from the expected goals, business process reengineering (BPR) initiatives clearly involve risk taking. However, due to the high expected returns of such efforts, the acceptable risk levels of BPR will tend to be greater than those of less ambitious projects. This research reports the development of a tool to quantitatively estimat...
متن کاملNational nutrition surveys in Asian countries: surveillance and monitoring efforts to improve global health.
Asian regions have been suffering from growing double burden of nutritional health problems, such as undernutrition and chronic diseases. National nutrition survey plays an essential role in helping to improve both national and global health and reduce health disparities. The aim of this review was to compile and present the information on current national nutrition surveys conducted in Asian c...
متن کاملGlobal estimation of precipitation using opaque microwave bands
This thesis describes the use of opaque microwave bands for global estimation of precipitation rate. An algorithm was developed for estimating instantaneous precipitation rate for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) on the NOAA-15, NOAA-16, and NOAA-17 satellites, and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit and Humidity Sounder for Brazil (AMSU/HSB) aboard the NASA Aqua satellite. The algo...
متن کاملRelating global precipitation to atmospheric fronts
[1] Atmospheric fronts are important for the day-to-day variability of weather in the midlatitudes, particularly during winter when extratropical storm-tracks are at their maximum intensity. Fronts are often associated with heavy rain, and strongly affect the local space-time distribution of rainfall. A recently developed objective front identification method that distinguishes between cold, wa...
