background: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and monitoring are the basic functional component of management. in present article, we aim to define the project monitoring and evaluation in health research system (hrs) considering its success and challenges based on our national experience. methods: in this study based on the information of annual medical science universities evaluation du...

Research Description: A traditional Database Management System (DBMS) is divided on several components. One of the most important components is the Query Optimizer (QO). From a given query, the QO is in charge of selecting an optimal plan, based on a set of performance metrics, for the execution of a given query. A query plan is a representation of operators that are needed for the execution of...

The paper deals with an Italian research Project on direct photogrammetry, active in the period 2003-2004. Among its most interesting features are: usage of a rich test site, having 160 artificial GCPs and 60 natural ones; performing of four dedicated flights, each containing different blocks at different scales. The goals and the phases of the Project are described, together with the test site...

One of the goals of undergraduate education should be the acquisition of a scientific attitude, determined by affective dimensions, and whose traits or characteristics should include: curiosity, objectivity, open-mindedness, flexibility, critical thinking, intellectual honesty, investigative energy, creative daring and social participation. In short, the ‘‘university essence’’: creating and tra...

Key Policy Points: • Strategic interaction between market players affects the performance of grain markets and the risk of food crises. Strategic dilemmas can arise if traders don’t trust government announcements on future maize purchases or if the government does not trust stock estimates provided by the private sector. • Government “pre-commitment” (announcing in advance how and when it will ...

Every technical system is subject to faults. In safety critical applications such as aircrafts or chemical factories, special measures need to be taken to address the possibility of faults. This is what fault tolerant control is about: analyse the effect of faults, and prevent them from causing trouble (see [1] for a more detailed overview). This project proposel a novel idea for fault tolerant...

The Ptolemy project studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interaction between components. The software system Ptolemy II has been in public release for about nine months now, and includes a ...

The residency research project can be a challenging endeavor for pharmacy residents since they typically have limited experience in this area. Furthermore, as the number of accredited residency programs has increased, so has the demand for preceptors with research experience. This review is intended to assist the resident and preceptor by providing steps and guidance with conducting a successfu...

Indirect ground-based have discovered greater than 100 exo-solar planets to date. These detections are inferred from Doppler shifts in the source spectrum due to radial velocity variations of the central star believed caused by the planetary mass in motion. Planets found by this technique are biased towards large mass Jupiter-like planets. Earthlike, or terrestrial, planets are unlikely to be f...
