Background: One of the most important weaknesses of the peer review process is that different reviewers ’ ratings of the same grant proposal typically differ. Studies on the inter-rater reliability of peer reviews mostly report only average values across all submitted proposals. But inter-rater

and specifically excluded teasing back. A second RA coded 20% of cases, producing good inter-rater reliability for Child's Usual Response -Words (r = .83) and Tells (r = .75). All videotaped child role-plays were later coded independently by two RA's trained in using a matrix of behavioral descriptors

the validity of the included primary studies in a way that was free from bias, ensured that primary studies were quantitatively synthesized in an appropriate manner, and discussed inconsistent findings (23). The inter-rater reliability of ratings of review quality was assessed using a random sample

public speaking. The rating scale used in this study was adapted from the 14-point EFL public speaking rating scale used by The 11-point public speaking rating scale was previously piloted with 15 pre-recorded speeches to assess inter-rater reliability. Reliability refers to the consistency

of scalability and maintainability. Hence, different approaches are based on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. In particular, fast-paced NVEs stress these systems and most likely cause high overlay maintenance overhead. This Master’s Thesis presents a novel approach to spatial Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) in P2P

serious performance and scalability challenges. In this paper, we present a methodology for performance evaluation of MOM platforms using the SPECjms2007 standard benchmark. SPECjms2007 is based on a novel application in the supply chain management domain designed to stress MOM infrastructures in a manner

To address this problem, one task of this dis-sertation is to identify the basic components of sensornet messaging and to study the re-lated algorithmic
