i n troduction: performance measurement is receiving increasing verification all over the world. nowadays in a lot of organizations, irrespective of their type or size, performance evaluation is the main concern and a key issue for top administrators. the purpose of this study is to organize suitable key performance indicators (kpis) for hospitals’ performance evaluation based on the balanced s...

PURPOSE Improper lifting techniques may increase injury risks and decrease performance. The aim of this study was to compare and contrast biomechanical parameters between sumo and conventional style deadlifts and between high- and low-skilled lifters who participated in the powerlifting event during the 1999 Special Olympics World Games. METHODS Two synchronized video cameras collected 60 Hz ...

In this paper, a market-oriented knowledge management methodology (KP methodology) is developed. The methodology is based on the idea that various knowledge management activities need to be linked to the market performance through product and process. As the speed of technological development gets faster and the accumulated knowledge becomes ever larger, the need for knowledge management would ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A debated subject in stroke rehabilitation relates to the best type of training approach for motor recovery. First, we analyzed the effects of repetitive movement practice in 2 feedback conditions (knowledge of results [KR]; knowledge of performance, [KP]) on reacquisition of reaching. Second, we evaluated the impact of cognitive impairment on motor relearning ability. ...

Kernel P systems (or kP systems) bring together relevant features from several P systems flavours into a unified kernel model which allows solving complex problems using a straightforward code programming approach. kPWorkbench is a software suite enabling specification, parsing and simulation of kP systems models defined in the kernel P– Lingua (or kP-Lingua) programming language. It has been s...

Cloud computing has come into our daily lives. The cloud server can provide powerful computing and storage capability as services. Since the decryption algorithm for attribute-based encryption needs a lot of computations, so with the help of cloud servers many attribute-based encryption schemes are designed for practical applications in cloud computing. To the best of our knowledge there does n...

Private set intersection (PSI) is a fundamental cryptographic primitive, allowing two parties to calculate the of their data sets without exposing additional private information. In cloud-based IoT system, IoT-enabled devices would like outsource in encrypted form cloud. this scenario, how delegate computation over outsourced cloud and achieve fine-grained access control for PSI divulging any i...

Older adults show reduced motor performance and changes in motor skill development. To better understand these changes, we studied differences in sequence knowledge representations between young and older adults using a transfer task. Transfer, or the ability to apply motor skills flexibly, is highly relevant in day-to-day motor activity and facilitates generalization of learning to new context...

The northern microrefugia that existed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are a key factor in the demographic history of species. Pinus koraiensis has a unique distribution in northeast Asia. The Changbai Mountains and the Korean peninsula (CM/KP) are usually considered to be the LGM refugia for P. koraiensis. However, the Xiaoxingan Range (XR), at the northern part of this species' distribu...
