The rise of digital repositories has framed a significant advance in access to academic and scientific knowledge, increasing its impact due greater reach lower cost. However, these platforms are new topic that initially did not have standards or models carry out their implementation operation, which is why there were inconsistencies between on issues such as interoperability, preservation, amon...

This paper presents a new tool, named SDL Performance Evaluation Tool (SPEET) 2 , for the performance analysis of formally speciied systems under real{time conditions. SPEET facilitates the simulation and emulation of several formal speciications at the same time. The systems to be simulated, resp. to be emulated, can be triggered by traac load generators and can be interconnected with transmis...

Our understanding of biological systems is highly dependent on the study of the mechanisms that regulate genetic expression. In this paper we present a tool to evaluate scientific papers that potentially describe Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene regulations, following the identification of transcription factors in abstracts using text mining techniques. GREAT evaluates the probability of a given g...

Quantitative comparisons of dose distributions are an integral component of a medical physicist’s responsibility of assuring high quality radiation therapy dose delivery. While overlays and other displays of multiple dose distributions are useful for such evaluations, quantitative evaluations require a mathematical comparison. The dose-difference is the most straightforward method for comparing...

The recent development of parallel and distributed computing software has introduced a variety of software tools that support several programming paradigms and languages. This variety of tools makes the selection of the best tool to run a given class of applications on a parallel or distributed system a non-trivial task that requires some investigation. We expect tool evaluation to receive more...

While there is currently a broad selection of Web accessibility evaluation tools, most of them are designed around post-development quality control principles rather than on-going quality assurance measures. It seems that many of the Web accessibility evaluation tools encourage separated evaluation processes rather than to integrate evaluation tasks into the natural Web development process. It ...

background and purpose: the spices model has been proposed to be used both as a framework for quality improvement in medical education and as a guide for evaluation of curricula. the six strategies of spices are representatives of innovative approaches to medical education, and each one has been considered as a continuum. the present study models a theory-based questionnaire, based on spices, t...
