High-quality internal audit is expected to lead to high-quality financial reporting. High-quality financial reporting expresses itself in earning quality. Earning quality has been playing a key role in capital market for a long time. Finance users pay special attention to earning quality because they make their decision based on it. On the other hand, the market economy will experience awful, i...

background; foods have been many changes from production to tables and continuous control is necessary to maintain food safety and supply foods with good quality. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of some foods with high consumption in zanjan city during the 5 years from 2009 to 2013. methods; in a case-control descriptive study with an annually control program during 5 years fr...

The author has led the campaign mounted by Acoustic Renaissance for Audio of which he is Chairman. The ARA has made consistent arguments for higher standards of audio recording quality on the next major format (which should be DVD Audio). This article is an adaptation of material that the author has presented during this campaign. It summarises some of the important issues we face in deciding h...

The development of effective educational software requires a systematic process executed by a skilled development team. This article describes the core skills required of the development team members for the six phases of successful educational software development. During analysis, the foundation of product development is laid including defining the audience and program goals, determining hard...

In this paper, we introduce a novel real-time splat rendering pipeline that relies on components of state-of-the-art splat and mesh rendering methods to enable high-quality shader effects such as reflection and refraction for splats. Our pipeline consists of one single rendering pass and aggressively utilizes the most practical components of both techniques. The entire pipeline is compactly imp...

Hatching lines are often used in line illustrations to convey tone and texture of a surface. In this report an approach for rendering hatched line drawings for polygonal meshes is presented.The proposed method allows the generation of hatching lines for interactive on-screen display as well as for vector-based printer output.We use local curvature information to compute streamlines on the surfa...

We explore three problems related to quality assessment in computer graphics: the design of efficient user studies; the scene-referred metrics for comparing high-dynamic-range images; and the comparison of metric performance for the database of computer graphics distortions. This paper summarizes the most important observations from investigating these problems and gives a high level perspectiv...

The goal of programming support systems is to make it possible for application developers to produce software faster, without any degradation in software quality. However, it is essential that this goal must not be achieved at the cost of performance: programs written in a high-level language and intended to solve large problems on highly parallel machines must not be egregiously less efficient...

Semantic aspects of programming have been studied in academia for many years as a means to achieve higher software quality. It is not clear to which extent these have been accepted in programming industry. Therefore, we made a case study of an industrial project using a checklist of quality criteria speci cally produced for this study. The results from the case study show that high level docume...

We examine fast algorithms to allocate processors to compute jobs in mesh-connected clusters. We find that a 1D curve-based strategy can give allocations of comparable quality to a fully 3D algorithm MC1x1 using a snake curve that goes along the mesh’s short dimensions first. We also propose several buddy-system strategies, the best of which actually finds better allocations than MC1x1 if the j...
