OBJECTIVE We compared teaching performance of medical school faculty using anonymous evaluations and open evaluations (in which the evaluator was not anonymous) and examined barriers to open evaluation. METHODS Residents and medical students evaluated faculty using an open evaluation instrument in which their identity was indicated in the evaluation. Following this, they completed anonymous e...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the influence of posterior gummy smile on the perception of smile esthetics by orthodontists, general-dentists and laypersons. STUDY DESIGN A frontal photograph of a smile with normal gum exposure was chosen and manipulated digitally using Adobe Photoshop C3 to generate three further images with posterior gum exposure of 4, 6 and 8mm. These four images were ...

Usability studies are commonly used in industry and applied in research as a yardstick for other usability evaluation methods. Though usability studies have been studied extensively, one potential threat to their reliability has been left virtually untouched: the evaluator effect. In this study, four evaluators individually analyzed four videotaped usability test sessions. Only 20% of the 93 de...

The purpose of this article is to introduce the so-called Reliability based Customer Satisfaction Evaluation Method that is founded upon the evaluator functions using the approach of logistic-type evaluation. The scorecard based customer satisfaction measurement methods, which are widely used at Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider companies, were studied to draw conclusions on the...

Separation of concerns is difficult to achieve in the implementation of a programming language interpreter. We argue that evaluator concerns (i.e., those implementing the operational semantics of the language) are, in particular, difficult to separate from the runtime concerns (e.g., memory and stack management) that support them. This precludes the former from being reused and limits variabili...

Malware encyclopedias nowplay a vital role indisseminating information about security threats. Coupled with categorization and generalization capabilities, such encyclopedias might help better defend against both isolated and clustered specimens.In this paper, we presentMalware Evaluator, a classification framework that treats malware categorization as a supervised learning task, builds learnin...

Partial evaluation is a program specialisation technique that has been shown to have great potential in logic programming, particularly for the specialisation of meta-interpreters by the so-called “Futamura Projections”. Meta-interpreters and other meta-programs are programs which use another program as data. In this thesis we describe a partial evaluator for meta-programs in the logic programm...

Integritas dalam lembaga publik merupakan hal penting yang perlu diperhatikan untuk mencapai reformasi birokrasi. Indonesia telah menetapkan kebijakan pembangunan zona integritas (ZI) di instansi pemerintah meningkatkan penyelenggaraan pelayanan prima, bebas korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme. Studi ini bertujuan mengevaluasi implementasi ZI Instansi Pemerintah Pusat Indonesia. Evaluasi tersebut di...

The distribution denial of service (DDoS) attack, fault data injection attack (FDIA) and random is reduced. monitoring security smart grid systems are improved using reconfigurable Kalman filter. Methods: A sinusoidal voltage signal with Gaussian noise applied to the Reconfigurable Euclidean detector (RED) evaluator. MATLAB function randn() has been used produce sequence channel mean value zero...

The original reinforcement learning scheme comprises two networks, one performs a controller and the other stands for an evaluator. Based on temporal difference predictive techniques, the evaluative network predicts an external reinforcement signal and estimates a more informative internal signal to adapt a set of parameters of the controller. This paper introduces a modified reinforcement lear...
