An Assessment of Group Support Systems Research: Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on the results of 200 Group Suppor Systems (GSS) experiments that have been published between 1971 and June of 1998. 1582 hypotheses resulting from pairings of independent and dependent variables were categorized and analyzed. The results show that the modal outcome for GSS systems compared to face-to-face (FtF) methods is "no difference," while the overall percentage of positive effects for hypotheses that compare GSS to FtF is a disappointing 16.6%. These results vary by task type, the number of experimental groups per cell, and the type of dependent variable measured. The purpose of this paper is to aid the GSS researcher by presenting detailed results of what has been studied and found in previous experiments, along with a discussion of what needs to be studied.

Using life cycle assessment for municipal solid waste management in Tehran Municipality Region 20
Background: Due to the lack of a proper waste management system, Tehran Municipality Region 20 is facing economic and environmental problems such as the high costs of a disposal system and source pollution. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method for collecting and evaluating the inputs, outputs, and potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle. The current stud...

متن کاملDevelopment of decision support tool for municipal solid waste management system in Iran based on life cycle assessment approach
Background and Objective: Various aspects including the environmental burdens, social and economic consequences of the waste management(WM) scenarios must be considered to come up with a comprehensive WM plan. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach is a systematic method to quantify the environmental burdens of each WM scenario. Materials and Methods: This study used an LCA approach to develop a...
متن کاملAssessment the Performance of Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network Systems for Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (A Case Study: Namak Lake Watershed)
Flood discharge estimation with different return periods is one of important factors for water structures design and installation. On the other hand, a lot of rivers existing in Iran watersheds have no complete and accurate hydrometric data. In these cases, one of the suitable solutions to estimate peak discharges with different return periods is the regional flood analysis. In this research, 5...
متن کاملMicroleakage assessment of one- and two-step self-etch adhesive systems with the low shrinkage composites
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Different studies evaluating one-step self-etch (SE) adhesive systems show contradictory findings, so the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of one-step SE adhesive systems and CLEARFIL SE BOND (that serves as the “gold-standard” SE adhesive) with low shrinkage composites. METHODS: In this in vitro study, Class V cavities with the occlusal margin in enamel and...
