Introduction: Quality assurance is essential for obtaining the best achievable tumor control, avoiding unnecessary side effects, accuracy and safety during performing High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy (BT). Quality assurance is extremely important because HDR BT procedures are performed quickly, with high doses given in a short time period, with little opportunity for correcti...

If clinical quality assurance and cost-effectiveness of diagnostic testing are to be measured, some sort of measurement of the clinical value of a test result is needed. The predictive value of a test result is not a real measure of its clinical value, and, particularly, when used in the later stages of a diagnostic workup, it can be misleading. Using the same data that go into a calculation of...

Quality is an important factor in software industry. Software quality depends upon the customer satisfaction which can be achieved through applying standards. In this era achieving quality software is very important because of the high customer demands. Developed countries are excelling in software industry and improving day by day. Meanwhile developing countries like Pakistan are struggling wi...

a new algorithm for classification of dmus to efficient and inefficient units in data envelopment analysis is presented. this algorithm uses the non-archimedean charnes-cooper-rhodes[1] (ccr) model. also, it applies an assurance value for the non-archimedean                          using only simple computations on inputs and outputs of dmus (see [18]). the convergence and efficiency of the ne...

Mega universities (i.e. those with over 100,000 students) are among the most important providers of distance education worldwide and are increasingly using ICT-based learning. Until recently they placed more emphasis on widening access than assuring quality, but now they recognise quality assurance as a key issue that needs to be addressed not only within individual universities but also jointl...

Egalitarianism and justice are amongst the core attributes of a democratic regime and should be also secured in an e-democratic setting. As such, the rise of computer related offenses pose a threat to the fundamental aspects of e-democracy and e-governance. Digital forensics are a key component for protecting and enabling the underlying (e-)democratic values and therefore forensic readiness sho...
