Toward Advancing Nano-Object Count Metrology: A Best Practice Framework
BACKGROUND A movement among international agencies and policy makers to classify industrial materials by their number content of sub-100-nm particles could have broad implications for the development of sustainable nanotechnologies. OBJECTIVES Here we highlight current particle size metrology challenges faced by the chemical industry due to these emerging number percent content thresholds, pr...
متن کاملA sequence of targets toward a common best practice frontier in DEA
Original data envelopment analysis models treat decision-making units as independent entities. This feature of data envelopment analysis results in significant diversity in input and output weights, which is irrelevant and problematic from the managerial point of view. In this regard, several methodologies have been developed to measure the efficiency scores based on common weights. Specificall...
متن کاملToward an Integrative Framework for Evaluation Practice
Evaluation has been beset with serious divisions, including the paradigm wars and the seeming segmentation of evaluation practice into distinct evaluation theories and approaches. In this paper, we describe key aspects of an integrative framework that may help evaluators move beyond such divisions. We offer a new scheme for categorizing evaluation methods within four inquiry modes, which are “f...
متن کاملToward a Unified Probabilistic Framework for Object Recognition and Segmentation
This paper presents a novel and effective Bayesian belief network that integrates object segmentation and recognition. The network consists of three latent variables that represent the local features, the recognition hypothesis, and the segmentation hypothesis. The probabilities are the result of approximate inference based on stochastic simulations with Gibbs sampling, and can be calculated fo...
متن کاملAdvancing Theory by Assessing Boundary Conditions With Metaregression: A Critical Review and Best-Practice Recommendations
Understanding boundary conditions, or situations when relations between variables change depending on values of other variables, is critical for theory advancement and for providing guidance for practice. Metaregression is ideally suited to investigate boundary conditions because it provides information on the presence and strength of such conditions. In spite of its potential, results of our r...
