Rapid validity testing at the front end of innovation

The “ Fuzzy Front End ” of Innovation

The fast transformation of technologies into new products or processes is one of the core challenges for any technology-based enterprise. Within the innovation process, we believe, the early phases (“fuzzy front end”) to have the highest impact on the whole process and the result (Input-Output Process), since it will influence the design and total costs of the innovation extremely. However the ...

Fastbus at the Front End

It is this author's view that we are in an era of great change in electronic equipment for high energy physics. Microprocessors and their cousins, the smart controllers, being incorporated in many designs. We are also now seeing devices such as FPLA's, PAL'S, etc. becoming larger, faster, and more useful in replacing large amounts of "discrete" logic. On our doorstep are gate-arrays of all type...

Management Control in the Front End of Innovation

End-to-End Simulation: The Front End

For the intense beams in heavy ion fusion accelerators, details of the beam distribution as it emerges from the source region can determine the beam behavior well downstream. This occurs because collective space-charge modes excited as the beam is born remain undamped for many focusing periods. Traditional studies of the source region in particle beam systems have emphasized the behavior of ave...

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...
