Regarding to rapidly changing and highly competitive business environment it will become increasingly important for organizations to measure their performances appropriately. With respect to special characteristics of pharmaceutical industry and lack of reported performance measurement, this study tries to design an integrated performance measurement model for pharmaceutical companies. For gene...

Background and Objectives: Angiography remains as the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of this study was to assess the quality of angiography services in Shahid Madani Hospital, Tabriz, Iran.   Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2013 in Shahid Madani Hospital. A sample of 203 CVD patients who had received angiography services was surveye...

Priority queues are container data structures essential to many high performance computing applications. In this paper, we introduce multiresolution priority queues , a data structure that achieves greater performance than the standard heap based implementation by trading off a controllable amount of resolution in the space of priorities. The new data structure can reduce the worst case perform...

The purpose of this study is to derive the need improve test and evaluation(T&E) performance system weapon systems which advanced science technology applied, evaluate priorities, present development plans. T&E Al-based through a literature research case analysis on changes in environment for system, 11 detailed evaluation items were derived from terms structure, technology. should be pe...

Objective HIV care delivery in resource-limited settings (RLS) may serve as a paradigm for chronic disease care, but comprehensive measurement frameworks are lacking. Our objective was to adapt the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) framework for use in RLS, and evaluate the performance of HIV treatment programs within this framework. Design and setting Cross-sectional survey administered w...

BACKGROUND SCreening for Occult REnal Disease (SCORED) is a novel screening guideline recently developed to identify individuals with a high likelihood of having prevalent chronic kidney disease (CKD). This simple scoring system, developed from general US representative samples and independently validated, was shown to outperform current clinical practice guidelines. Recently, CKD screening in ...

This paper presents findings on changes in bus running times, on-time performance, and excess passenger wait times following implementation of transit signal priority in select bus corridors in the Portland metropolitan region. Analysis of the effectiveness of transit signal priority is often undertaken using simulation techniques or empirical studies that are either limited in scope and/or dat...
