A fair and objective evaluation of faculty research productivity is essential for development department success. At the University Texas at San Antonio, we recently implemented a new system to quantify performance annual evaluations (Han, Wan, Wang 2020). It provides framework quantitative using expectations flexible weight among key measures. Annual expenditures, proposals grants, scholarly w...

Carcass evaluation has a relatively long history in the animal and meat science scientific literature and one of the first studies to cover the composition of farm animals was reported by Lawes and Gilbert (1860) almost 130 years ago. These workers completed a large number of chemical analyses and found a relationship between fat and maturity (age and weight); a finding that has been repeated b...

While scalability is important to today's software applications, few organizations understand how to quantitatively evaluate their software's scalability. This paper describes the Quantitative Scalability Evaluation Method, QSEM. QSEM uses straightforward measurements to quantify the scalability of a software application. The results provide an understanding of the application's scalability tha...

Style transfer methods produce a transferred image which is a rendering of a content image in the manner of a style image. There is a rich literature of variant methods. However, evaluation procedures are qualitative, mostly involving user studies. We describe a novel quantitative evaluation procedure. One plots effectiveness (a measure of the extent to which the style was transferred) against ...

The haemotachograph is a non-invasive ultrasonic Doppler-shift instrument designed to measure the velocity of blood in the arch of the aorta by a technique referred to as transcutaneous aortovelography. Its accuracy has been assessed at cardiac catheterization in 20 patients. When transcutaneous aortovelographic values were compared with stroke volume determined by standard invasive techniques,...

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...
