An object oriented measurement approach using CAD models for the initialization of an automatic measurement process and for the verification of the measurement results is presented. CAD models are used in an a priori and a posteriori mode. The human operator assigns responsibility for the image understanding part (high level grouping), and the computer for the actual measurement and the data ha...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of voluntary disclosure about corporate social responsibility (csr) on firm’s financial performance. first, a state of the art about corporate social responsibility and social reporting is presented. after that, the problems of measurement of csr are indicated and the hypotheses are proposed. in the empirical analysis, regression models are...

Abstract Financial performance evaluation is intimately linked to risk measurement methodologies. There exists a well-developed literature on axiomatic and operational characterization of measures performance. Hinged the duality between coherent reward associated with investment strategies, we investigate representation acceptability indices using expectile-based that recently attracted lot att...

introduction:.color is the first quality attribute of food evaluated by consumers, and is therefore an important quality component of food which influences consumer’s choice and preferences (maguire, 1994). color measurement of food products has been used as an indirect measure of other quality attributes such as flavor and contents of pigments because it is simpler, faster and correlates well ...

This study aimed to investigate and compare nonlinear growth models (NLMs) with the predicted performance of broilers using an artificial neural network (ANN). Six hundred forty broiler chicks were sexed and randomly reared in 32 separate pens as a factorial experiment with 4 treatments and 4 replicates including 20 birds per pen in a 42-day period. Treatments consisted of 2 metabolic energy le...
