When considering education, quality of educational service and stakeholder satisfaction can be taken as more important. Most of the performance models are fails to address the evaluation of organizational performance. This study examines the performance of entire management faculties in Sri Lankan Universities and the perception level of management employees about the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). ...

Benzylselenocyanate (BSC), a novel organoselenium compound, has been found to inhibit azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats during initiation. To investigate its mechanism of action, we examined the effects of BSC feeding on the following parameters: (a) metabolism of [14C]AOM to 14CO2 in vivo; (b) metabolic activation of AOM to MAM and of MAM to formic acid and methanol by ra...

a r t i c l e i n f o The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the boosting approach can be used to define a data-driven board Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with applications to S&P 500 companies. Using Adaboost, we can generate alternating decision trees (ADTs) that explain the relationship between corporate governance variables, and firm performance. We also propose an algorithm to build ...

Benzylselenocyanate (BSC), a novel organoselenium compound, has been found to inhibit azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats during initiation. To investigate its mechanism of action, we examined the effects of BSC feeding on the following parameters: (a) metabolism of [I4C]AOM to I4CO2 in vivo; (b) metabolic activation of AOM to MAM and of MAM to formic acid and methanol by ra...

INTRODUCTION Survival and best supportive care (BSC) costs for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), after stopping therapy, are poorly characterized yet an important aspect of patient care. This study examined survival and costs associated with BSC after one or two lines of therapy (LOTs) for mRCC. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis used claims data from commercially ins...

A Balanced Scorecard (BSC) presents the quantitative goals selected from multiple perspectives for implementing the organizational strategy and vision. However, in most current BSC frameworks, including those developed for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field, each perspective is handled separately. None of these perspectives is integrated automatically into a consolidated v...

The question of how to define a species continues to divide biologists. Meanwhile, the application of different species concepts has led to disparate taxonomic treatments that confound conservationists and other biologists. The most widely followed guidelines to species designation in avian and other vertebrate taxonomy are Ernst Mayr’s Biological Species Concept (BSC) and Joel Cracraft’s versi...

Previous work estimated the ultrasonic backscatter coefficient (BSC) from low-concentration (volume density <3%) Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO, 6.7-μm cell radius) cell pellets. This study extends the work to higher cell concentrations (volume densities: 9.6% to 63%). At low concentration, BSC magnitude is proportional to the cell concentration and BSC frequency dependency is independent of cell c...

The balanced scorecard (BSC) initially developed by Kaplan and Norton, is a performance management system that enables businesses to drive strategies based on measurement and follow-up. In recent years, the BSC has been applied to information technology (IT). The IT BSC is becoming a popular tool with its concepts widely dispersed by international consultant groups such as GartnerGroup, Renaiss...
