introduction: the scientific, technological and economic development of a society is closely related to its public health. therefore; improvement of health service quality along with increasing the number of health facilities is one of the main concerns of health care authorities in developed countries. this study was designed to compare accreditation models of health care organizations in euro...

introduction: graduate (phd) students in medical sciences, who will form future faculties and investigators in iran’s universities of medical sciences, are not trained on scientific writing during their training. the present study describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of principles of writing biomedical research paper course. methods: the course, prepared based on an extensive se...

In this paper, a model and an evaluation method are proposed expanding technology assessment model (TAM) to enable a comprehensive evaluation and selection of socio technical systems relevant in today’s Internet environment. The proposed evaluation model called WOSP is practical and easy to integrate in decision support system tools for comparing IT software involving socio-technical factors.

The present study raises the concept of network technical anonymity, and designs its corresponding evaluation indicators and model, in order to provide the basis and methods for the evaluation of how anonymous a behavioral agent is on the net. Network technical anonymity is defined as the difficulty in tracking the real identity of a network agent. Five indicators have been designed as follows:...

In studying through simulation, choosing an appropriate tool/language would be a difficult task because many of them are available. On the other hand, few research works focus on evaluation of simulation tools/languages and their comparison. This paper makes a couple of evaluations and ranks more than fifty simulation tools that are currently available. The first evaluation and ranking is in th...

Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) is used to model a Centralized PV Source, Battery Bank, and Distribution Network for 25 DC Houses. Design and modeling of each component in the proposed system are described. For the performance evaluation, emphasis is on voltage stability and system reliability under different operating conditions. Results from the simulation demonstrate the feasibility of the pro...

Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) are a means to categorize the relative technical maturity of components, sub-systems, or systems. Technological or technical maturity is a measure of performance, reliability, durability, and operating experience, and more technologically mature components (better performing, more reliable, more durable, greater operating experience) are rated higher than expe...
