Constructing a Customer's Satisfactory Evaluator System Using GA-Based Fuzzy Artificial Neural Networks

by M. Reza Mashinchi, Ali Selamat
"... Abstract: In this paper, an important principle of economical survival in the business area has been studied. It has been considered by increasing the success rate in selling the products in order to overcome on other competitors. This can be achieved thereafter of taking suitable strategic decision ..."

. This approach considers fuzzy artificial neural networks based on the genetic algorithm to construct a customer's satisfactory evaluator system in order to approximate the quality of the service. The proposed system is able to predict the quality values of the possible strategies according to customer

Model evaluation guidelines for systematic quantification of accuracy in watershed simulations

by D. N. Moriasi, J. G. Arnold, M. W. Van Liew, R. L. Bingner, R. D. Harmel, T. L. Veith , 2007
"... Watershed models are powerful tools for simulating the effect of watershed processes and management on soil and water resources. However, no comprehensive guidance is available to facilitate model evaluation in terms of the accuracy of simulated data compared to measured flow and constituent values ..."

Chapter 1 The Impossibility of a Satisfactory Population Ethics

by Gustaf Arrhenius
"... Population axiology concerns how to evaluate populations in regard to their goodness, that is, how to order populations by the relations “is better than ” and “is as good as”. This field has been riddled with paradoxes and impossibility results which seem to show that our considered beliefs are inco ..."

PROMISE: Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming Using CollectCast

by Mohamed Hefeeda, Ahsan Habib, Boyan Botev, Dongyan Xu, Bharat Bhargava , 2003
"... We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of PROMISE, a novel peer-to-peer media streaming system encompassing the key functions of peer lookup, peer-based aggregated streaming, and dynamic adaptations to network and peer conditions. Particularly, PROMISE is based on a new application l ..."

or degradation with low overhead; (3) dynamically switching active senders and standby senders, so that the collective network performance out of the active senders remains satisfactory. Based on both real-world measurement and simulation, we evaluate the performance of PROMISE, and discuss lessons learned from

Patient’s Perceptions Regarding Orthodontic Needs and Satisfactory Level with the Procedure

by Saibel Farishta
"... How to cite the article: Farishta S. Patient’s perceptions regarding orthodontic needs and satisfactory level with the procedure. J Int Oral Health 2015;7(9):79-82. Background: In order to keep the patients satisfied with Orthodontic treatment and to address the growing concern among new orthodontic ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
orthodontic patients, this study was undertaken to evaluate patient’s perceptions of their orthodontic treatment needs and the satisfactory level with the procedure. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 362 patients who had received orthodontic treatment. Questionnaires

Capacity to Consent to Voluntary Hospitalization: Searching for a Satisfactory Zinermon

by Norman G. Poythress, Michele Cascardi, Lee Ritterb
"... Half a decade ago, the Zinermon court announced the need for clinicians to evaluate the competence of people with mental illness to consent to voluntary hospital admission, but the court did not specify the test of capacity that mental health professionals should use. As has occurred in other areas ..."

Extended "2D-RIB " for Impression-Based Satisfactory Retrieval and its Evaluation

by T. Takayama, S. Kikuchi, Y. Hashimoto, T. Ikeda, Y. Murata
"... Abstract—Recently, lots of researchers are attracted to retrieving multimedia database by using some impression words and their values. Ikezoe’s research is one of the representatives and uses eight pairs of opposite impression words. We had modified its retrieval interface and proposed ‘2D-RIB ’ in ..."

Both of these two measures ‘melody goodness’ and ’general acceptance ’ can contribute to the improvement. Moreover, it is effective if we introduce the customization menu which enables a retrieval person

Model-based evaluation: From dependability to security

by David M. Nicol, William H. Sanders, Kishor S. Trivedi - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON DEPENDABLE AND SECURE COMPUTING , 2004
"... The development of techniques for quantitative, model-based evaluation of computer system dependability has a long and rich history. A wide array of model-based evaluation techniques are now available, ranging from combinatorial methods, which are useful for quick, rough-cut analyses, to state-based ..."

of these approaches is fully satisfactory, and we argue that there is much to be gained through the development of a sound model-based methodology for quantifying the security one can expect from a particular design. In this work, we survey existing model-based techniques for evaluating system dependability
