The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the evaluation of the quality of voluntary disclosure, given that the factors used in internal research due to having an external source and focusing on the number of disclosures may not be an appropriate criterion for measuring the quality of information disclosure, so, it is necessary to provide new influencing factors on the e...

Cereal Chern. 75(1):100-104 Correlations among grain sorghum quality factors (proximate composition, physical properties, and water absorption properties) were evaluated. Samples of 46 commercial hybrids (24 and 22 from crop years 1993 and 1994) were analyzed for starch, protein, crude free fat, test weight, absolute density, 1,000 kernel weight, percent kernel abraded, water absorption index, ...

The gradual uptake of online learning as a delivery medium for higher education necessitates a shift in the metrics used to determine quality and success. While the attributes that have typically been used as benchmarks for quality in learning remain the same, that factors that impact on these factors have changed and it is these factors that form the focus of this paper . The aim of this paper...

A flexible analysis—synthesis system with signal dependent features is described and used to realize some desired voice characteristics insynthesized speech. The intelligibility of synthetic speech appears to depend on the ability to reproduce dynamic sounds such as stops, whereas the quality of voice is mainly determined by the true reproduction of voiced segments. We describe our work in conv...

The design of an eficient indexing system that enhances user access to just-in-time information in crisis management systems offers new and challenging research problems. In investigating the type of information required by crisis managers to manage natural and man-made disasters, it became clear that the HCI factors affecting quality of information made available to the crisis manager affected...

We have recently studied an article published in your journal entitled "Factors influencing medical services" carefully and with interest (1). Qualitative researches have different approaches, including "Phenomenology", "Grounded Theory" "," Ethnography "," Historical " and " Action Research "(2-4). Approval and acceptance of the basic principles of qualitative studies is the first step in cond...

OBJECTIVES As chronic conditions affect the evaluation, treatment, and possible clinical outcomes of patients, accurate reporting of chronic diseases into the patient record is expected. In some countries, the reported magnitude of comorbidity inaccuracy and incompleteness is compelling. Beyond incentives provided in payment systems, the role and significance of other factors that contribute to...

Controlling nutrient losses from animal manures when they are landapplied is a critical factor in nutrient management, promoting environmental health and maintaining the sustainability of animal agriculture. Phosphorus is of particular concern due to its implication in eutrophication of surface waters and declines in water quality. We conducted a laboratory experiment to test the effect of seve...

Use of e-learning programs has been expanding, owing in part to the high demand for education, particularly in developing countries. The success, however, of these programs shows varied results. Very little research addresses the issue of e-learning service quality in higher education environment. Therefore, it has become vital to assess the quality of e-learning offerings, as it is critical to...
