Full textAbstract:
The objective of this research program is to further evaluate the performance and constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) column-steel beam-slab systems (RCS) for use in low- to mid-rise space frame buildings located in regions of high wind loads and/or moderate seismicity. To better understand these systems, two full scale RCS cruciform specimens were tested under bidirectional quasi-static reversed cyclic loading. The experimental portion of this research program included the construction and testing of two full-scale cruciform specimens with identical overall dimensions but with different joint detailing. The two joint details evaluated were joint cover plates and face bearing plates with localized transverse ties. The construction process was recorded in detail and related to actual field construction practices. The specimens were tested experimentally in quasi-static reversed cyclic loading in both orthogonal loading directions while a constant axial force was applied to the column, to simulate the wind loads in a subassembly of a prototype building. To compliment the experimental work, nonlinear analyses were performed to evaluate the specimen strength and hysteretic degradation parameters for RCS systems. In addition, current recommendations in the literature on the design of RCS joints were used to estimate specimen joint strength and were compared with the experimental findings.

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to give the investors a better understanding on how to interpret the costs of funds with performance fee with high-water mark and give some guidelines when comparing funds with different fee structures, i.e. mutual funds and hedge funds. Mathematical approaches – Two mathematical approaches are used in the study. The first approach is to describe the high-water mark contract as a partial differential equation, which has the characteristics of Black-Scholes equation. The second approach is to numerically simulate the evolution of a fund’s value. During the development of the fund’s value the cost of the fees are calculated and discounted. Findings – It is found that the expected cost of the performance fee with high-water mark, vary a lot. An example is when the volatility increases the expected cost of performance fee drastically raises while the management fee is unchanged. Another interesting finding is that the order of when the fees’ are charged affects the expected cost of the performance fee. Conclusion – The guidelines for the investor is to invest in a fund with a performance fee in low volatile markets and a fund with just the management fee in high volatile markets. Another impact is the time step which the high-water mark level is controlled. The investor wants these controls as infrequently as possible. If the controls are done at a daily basis the expected cost of the performance fee is higher than in a monthly control. It is also concluded that the Normanbelopp of a fund with a performance fee should not be trusted. Key-words:

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid development of the Internet, new theories and technologies are blooming and boosting the associated applications. One group of important applications is the multiparty multimedia communications. Satellites, which have played an important role in telephony communication and TV broadcasting services, could also play an important role to provide multiparty multimedia communications with their global coverage and on-board processing ability over IP networks. IP multiparty multimedia conferencing is one of these communication applications. With the support of satellites, one can provide an IP conferencing service globally to anywhere, even the place does not have the access to terrestrial networks. This thesis introduces the VoIP technologies that underpin IP conferencing services. It describes protocols, architectures, network entities, and network performance. In addition, this thesis presents how a multicast routing architecture was designed for an IP conferencing system with consideration to the new features introduced by an integrated GEO satellite network. An associated conferencing model will be presented as well to accompany this routing architecture. All of the technologies used in the design were implemented in a demonstrator. To test and evaluate the system, efforts have been put into the IP traffic measurement technologies and a measurement regime was developed to evaluate the system with consideration to multicast routing and the system architecture. New relative QoS requirements of multiparty communications are identified in this thesis. A set of parameters to present these new requirements are proposed as derivations of the IPPM (IP Performance Metrics) end-to-end parameters. A new adaptive QoS optimisation algorithm is proposed that is based on the measurement of these new parameters to satisfy the relative QoS requirements of the multiparty multimedia communications. Simulations were carried out to verify this algorithm and the results prove that it can optimize the relative QoS for multiparty multimedia communications.

Kjelso, Morten. "A quantitative evaluation of data compression in the memory hierarchy." Thesis, Loughborough University, 1997. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/10596.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the use of lossless data compression in the memory hierarchy of contemporary computer systems. Data compression may realise performance benefits by increasing the capacity of a level in the memory hierarchy and by improving the bandwidth between two levels in the memory hierarchy. Lossless data compression is already widely used in parts ofthe memory hierarchy. However, most of these applications are characterised by targeting inexpensive and relatively low performance devices such as magnetic disk and tape devices. The consequences of this are that the benefits of data compression are not realised to their full potential. This research aims to understand how the benefits of data compression can be realised for levels of the memory hierarchy which have a greater impact on system performance and system cost. This thesis presents a review of data compression in the memory hierarchy and argues that main memory compression has the greatest potential to improve system performance. The review also identifies three key issues relating to the use of data compression in the memory hierarchy. Quantitative investigations are presented to address these issues for main memory data compression. The first investigation is into memory data, and shows that memory data from a range of Unix applications typically compresses to half its original size. The second investigation develops three memory compression architectures, taking into account the results of the previous investigation. Furthermore, the management of compressed data is addressed and management methods are developed which achieve storage efficiencies in excess of 90% and typically complete allocation and de allocation operations with only a few memory accesses. The experimental work then culminates in a performance investigation. This shows that when memory resources are strecthed, hardware based memory compression can improve system performance by up to an order of magnitude. Furthermore, software based memory compression can improve system performance by up to a factor of 2. Finally, the performance models and quantitative results contained in this thesis enable us to identify under what conditions memory compression offers performance benefits. This may help designers incorporate memory compression into future computer systems.

It was numerically shown that the behavior of each of the examined CRN approaches is highly dependent on basic system parameters. Furthermore, we studied the problem of rate-optimal receive BF and user selection, considering the uplink of a multi-user, unprioritized CRN. As the assumption of a channel state information (CSI) setting, whereby the involved channels would be merely instantaneously (resp. statistically) known is, to a great extent, optimistic (resp. pessimistic), we considered a mixed (combined) CSI scenario. Then, the problem of rate-optimal transmit BF for a MISO underlay CRN, assuming the existence of mixed CSI, was thereafter formulated. Concentrating on downlink communication, the goal of the system’s design was the maximization of the secondary system’s achievable ergodic capacity, subject to an average rate constraint imposed on primary communication. Continuing the investigation of the latter precoding problem with mixed, distributed channel knowledge, we developed a coordination scheme, according to which, the transmitters coordinate on the basis of statistical (covariance) information of the global channel. The proposed precoding strategy was shown to outperform conventional approaches taken from the literature. Finally, within a prioritized CRN framework, we proposed a pilot assignment algorithm

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates problems of performance modelling in sport. Mathematical models are used to evaluate the performance of individuals, teams, and the competition rules under which they compete. The thesis comprises a collection of papers on applications of modelling to Australian rules football, soccer and cricket. Using variations of the model wij = ui + hi - uj + eij where wij is the home team winning margin when home team i plays away team j, ui is a team rating, hi is an individual ground effect and eij is random error, the evaluation of team home ground advantage effect (HA) is studied in detail. Data from the Australian Football League and English Association Football for 1980 to 1995 are investigated. The necessity of individual team HAs is demonstrated. The usual methods of calculating HA for competitions is shown to be inappropriate for individual teams. The existence of a spurious HA when home and away performances are compared is discussed. For a balanced competition, fitting the above model by least squares is equivalent to a simple calculator method using only data from the final ladder. A method of calculating HA by pairing matches is demonstrated. Tables of HA and paired HA in terms of points/game for each year are given. The resultant HAs for both Australian rules football and soccer are analysed. Clearly there is an isolation effect, where teams that are isolated geographically have large HAs. For English soccer, the paired HA is shown to be linearly related to the distance between club grounds. As an application of these methods, the development and implementation of a computer tipping program used to forecast Australian rules football by rating teams is described. The need for ground effects for each team and ground, and the use of heuristic methods to optimise the program is discussed. The accuracy of the prediction model and its implementation by publication in the media is discussed. International comparisons show prediction methods are limited by the data. Methods for evaluating the fairness of the League draw and the finals systems are given. The thesis also investigates the use of dynamic programming to optimise tactics in football and cricket. The thesis develops tables giving the optimal run rate and the expected score or probability of winning at any stage of a one-day cricket innings. They show a common strategy in one-day cricket to be non-optimal, and a heuristic is developed that is near optimal under a range of parameter variations. A range of dynamic programming models are presented, allowing for batsmen of different abilities and various objective functions. Their application to performance modelling are shown by developing a radically different performance measure for one day cricket, and applying it to a one-day series.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of urban design quality variables on real estate value through comparative performance analysis of the residential, office and retail sectors. Based on the highly intangible nature of design and the controversy surrounding the approach to measuring quality, real estate value is considered the best means to capture the implicit prices of different aspects of quality. In order to quantify these aspects the research uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to introduce a set of measurable elements of good urban design. The framework for this approach is based on the principles of utility theory and employs the hedonic pricing method to measure quality aspects. This constitutes a unique attempt to explicitly identify and model the aspects of quality design and measure their added value to real estate. The intra-sectoral focus informed a holistic approach to quality design which consisted of the formulation of three different hedonic models, one for each 'measurable' sector in core urban locations. Ordinary Least Squares Regression was used to estimate the equations for a unique dataset of property transactions in Belfast City Centre. The fmal database was characterised by a sectoral categorisation and comprised 424 apartments sold between 2000 and 2008, 279 commercial offices rented during the period 1995-2009 and 301 retail units rented between 1994 and 2009. The main fmdings suggest that aspects of quality design such as context/identity, connectivity/permeability of the urban fabric, vitality and liveability of the surroundings and appropriate quality of construction material add real estate value. Other outcomes of interest were attributed to the peculiarity of the study area, sectoral characteristics and property cycles. This implies that in addition to the widely accepted place-specificity, urban design is highly dependent on the factors that drive the real estate markets.

Sinde, Hamis Mohamed. "Decentralisation and financial peformance : a comparative analysis of local governments' financial sustainability in Tanzania." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2016. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/16562/.
Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on analysing the financial sustainability of local government authorities (LGAs) in Tanzania with reference to decentralisation. In this context, the financial sustainability of LGAs is considered as an important aspect for decentralisation to succeed, especially in enhancing horizontal equity and public services in general. Specifically, the study attempts to: (i) assess and explain variations in financial sustainability across LGAs (ii) explore consequences of financial difficulties whenever they arise in the course of budget execution, and ways used to mitigate the difficulties. The study uses a quantitative approach, whereby financial indicators are used to analyse LGAs’ financial performance reports to achieve the first objective, and qualitative analysis of interview data from three case studies to achieve the second objective. The empirical findings suggest decentralisation in Tanzania influences financial sustainability of LGAs in different ways. First, councils with a large proportion of poor people not only have low financial sustainability, low expenditure per person and low own source revenue per person but also receive a lower average grant per person. This poses the danger of exaggerating the horizontal gap in service access. Secondly, council size and population size contribute negatively while the flow of government grants and poor financial management practices contribute positively to variations in financial sustainability. Thirdly, the findings suggest decentralisation may not discourage complacency in LGAs’ revenue mobilisation and financial management practices. On the other hand, observation from the case studies suggests financial difficulties are prevalent in LGAs. They adversely affect LGAs’ operations, especially in executing development projects in priority sectors: health, education, water and agriculture. To mitigate the difficulties, LGAs involve people in service provision, cuts or postponing activities as immediate options, and seeking alternative revenues sources for the long term. The study offers three main contributions. First, it bridges two interrelated but distinct research themes: financial sustainability and fiscal decentralisation studies. This broadens the scope of analysing both themes. Secondly, it offers insights into why decentralisation may or may not achieve its potential. This is in response to the observation from some studies, which report the outcome of decentralisation in developing countries to be limited. Lastly, it offers feedback on the way decentralisation is executed in a country that has long-standing initiatives on enhancing horizontal equity and improving provision of public services in general.

Full textAbstract:
An LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to be used as a stability indicating assay for the study of a 3 mg/mL lansoprazole oral suspension. The method utilizes a UPLC (ultra-performance liquid chromatography) column and unique mass spectrometric detection (ion-trap time-of-flight (IT-TOF)) to achieve a sensitive (LOD 2 ng/mL), accurate, and reproducible quantification of lansoprazole. This method reports an intraday and interday coefficient of variation of 2.98 ± 2.17% ( for each concentration for each day) and 3.07 ± 0.89% ( for each concentration), respectively. Calibration curves (5–25 μg/mL) were found to be linear with an value ranging from 0.9972 to 0.9991 on 4 different days. Accuracy of the assay, expressed as % error, ranged from 0.30 to 5.22%. This method is useful for monitoring the stability of lansoprazole in oral suspension.

A study was carried out to evaluate the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall (SCCW) as an anti-mycotoxin additive in broiler chicks? diets slaughtered at 22 day age on performance, carcass characteristics and organ weights. It was used a randomized complete block design with four treatments in a factorial 2 (with aflatoxin, without aflatoxin) x 2 (with adsorbent, without adsorbent). For the performance parameters evaluated, there was a significant difference only on feed intake, when the SCCW was added to the rations. There was no interaction between aflatoxin and SCCW factors in the diet on the performance variables studied. The addition of SCCW to the chicks? diets stimulated the feed intake during 1-21 days of age. However, that did not reflect a significant increase in weight gain, or a change in feed conversion. There was a significant interaction between factors aflatoxin and SCCW on the weight post-fasting, cold carcass weight and thigh+upper weight. For the absolute hot carcass weights, breast, back and wings and carcass yields and relative weights of the cuts it was not observed a significant interaction between factors. The growth performance of broilers in the period 1-21 days old was not influenced by the levels of aflatoxin and SCCW factors used in experimental diets. Nevertheless for body weight after fasting, the cold carcass weight and absolute weight of the thigh + drumstick, the SCCW acted as an anti-mycotoxin additive by minimizing the aflatoxin toxicity.

Full textAbstract:
This research further investigates the motivation to lead (MTL) construct and its antecedents. While existing research has investigated culture, personality, and direct experience as an antecedent to MTL, the indirect experience of observing an effective leader has not been studied. It was hypothesized that having an effective supervisor would be related to followers' leadership self efficacy and MTL. It was also hypothesized that this relationship would be moderated by the quality of the relationship between leader and follower. Little evidence was found supporting these hypotheses. In addition, the existing research into MTL has failed to establish the link between MTL and leader performance. Using leadership 360 ratings as a proxy for leader performance, no support was found linking MTL with leader performance. Academic and applied implications are discussed.

O funcionário espera, com isso, melhorar a sua eficiência e produtividade por meio da variedade de possibilidades e entregar resultados com melhor qualidade de informação. Como os recursos pessoais de informática não fazem parte do portfólio de TI da organização, hipotetiza-se que isso possa afetar negativamente a Governança de TI. O objetivo dessa tese é analisar o uso de recursos pessoais de informática no desempenho individual e na governança de TI a partir das abordagens do intraempreendedorismo e da TI Fashion. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa com técnicas qualitativas e quantitativas. Identificaram-se os recursos pessoais de informática usados pelos funcionários e os principais elementos relacionados aos constructos selecionados. Desenvolveu-se um instrumento prévio de medição (survey), que foi testado em uma amostra para ajustes. A pesquisa final constou com uma amostra validada de 253 respondentes. Para analisar os dados da pesquisa, foi utilizada a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais, validando o modelo e testando as hipóteses de pesquisa. Constatou-se que o intraempreendedorismo e a TI Fashion influenciam significativa e positivamente a consumerização de TI e essa, por sua vez, influencia o fator desempenho pessoal. Diferente do proposto como hipótese inicial, a consumerização de TI afeta significativa e positivamente a Governança de TI. Conclui-se que o uso de recursos pessoais de informática para o trabalho é influenciado por ações intraempreendedoras nas organizações, assim como a sedução por inovações tecnológicas disponibilizadas pela indústria de tecnologia da informação, e afetam positivamente o desempenho pessoal. Observa-se que as organizações são flexíveis no uso de recursos pessoais de TI e adaptam-se à introdução, por parte dos funcionários, de inovações tecnológicas pessoais para o trabalho, adequando as políticas de Governança de TI.The information technology industry has provided equipment and computer programs increasingly affordable to the end user, allowing employees, in search of better personal performance, apply their own resources, such as tablets and e-mail personal accounts, to professional activity, impacting how IT governance works. The search for practicability and opportunities in an environment that fosters change, some of intrapreneurial activities characteristics, acts in decision making and contributes to the process of consumerization of IT. With the availability of new technologies and the current belief in a new fashion trend, a conducive scenario is created to these innovations be used in organizations, taking advantage of the facilities of virtualization, of knowledge and adaptability of the user with the technology. The employee waits thereby improve their efficiency and productivity through the variety of possibilities, delivering results with better information quality. As the personal computer resources are not part of the organization's IT portfolio, we hypothesize that IT consumerization can negatively affect IT Governance. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the use of personal information technology resources on performance and IT governance, from the approaches of intrapreneurship and IT Fashion. To achieve this goal we conducted a survey with qualitative and quantitative techniques. It was identified the personal information technology resources used by employees and key elements related to the selected constructs. It was developed an prior measurement instrument (survey) that was tested in a sample for adjustments. The final survey consisted with a validated sample of 253 respondents. To analyze the survey data, and to validate and test the research hypothesis, it was used structural equation modeling techniques. It was found that intrapreneurship and IT Fashion significantly and positively influences the consumerization of IT and this, in turn, influences the personal performance factor. Unlike the initial hypothesis proposed, the consumerization of IT affects significantly and positively the IT Governance. We conclude that the use of personal computing for work is influenced by intrapreneurial actions and by the technological innovations seduction provided by the information technology industry and positively affect personal performance and IT Governance It is observed that organizations are flexible in use of personal IT and they adapt to the introduction, by employees, of personal technological innovations for work, adjusting policies to IT Governance.

Para as empresas se manterem no mercado, faz-se necessário conhecer profundamente seus processos internos, objetivando constantemente a melhoria e o aperfeiçoamento da estrutura atual. As organizações devem focar seus esforços em sistemas de informações que atendam às suas necessidades. Neste contexto se enquadra a Contabilidade Gerencial, que possui o objetivo de contribuir para a melhoria da informação para a tomada de decisão a partir do processo de mensuração e alocação dos custos aos processos e produtos, disponibilizando informações econômicas para avaliação do desempenho. Estas exigências da gestão moderna exigem metodologias que gerem as informações necessárias para auxiliar o objetivo da Contabilidade Gerencial. Entretanto diversos autores (ALBRIGHT; LAM, 2006, RAGHUNATHAN; MCKINNEY, 2002, AL-OMIRI; DRURY, 2007) afirmam que os Sistemas Gerenciais de Custeio (SGCs) atuais ainda se mostram ineficientes e incompletos para a realidade e dinamismo atual das organizações. Desta forma, mostra-se fundamental uma apreciação sobre os temas citados, identificando-se os fatores que influenciam na adoção e na estruturação das metodologias de custeio utilizadas para apoiar os processos da Contabilidade Gerencial, além de sistematizar um modelo estruturado para operacionalizar os processos de definição e modelagem dos Sistemas de Informações. Para atender estas necessidades, esta tese está estruturada em três artigos principais e dois artigos de apoio, realizados a partir de uma análise da literatura (Artigo 1), um estudo de campo (Artigo 2) e dois estudos de caso (Artigo 3). A partir da elaboração destes estudos, pode-se perceber a necessidade de um modelo conceitual que atenda aos objetivos da Contabilidade Gerencial, sendo apresentados os fatores identificados na literatura e estruturada uma sistemática para definição e modelagem dos métodos de apoio. Com estes resultados, percebeu-se que uma compreensão mais adequada da estratégia da empresa e dos objetivos dos métodos facilita consideravelmente a operacionalização do Sistema de Informações Econômico-Financeiras, possibilitando a utilização das informações geradas para auxiliar nos processos de planejamento e tomada de decisão.To remain in the market, companies must know in detail their internal processes, aiming to constant improve and refine the current structure. Organizations should focus their efforts on information systems that meet their needs. In this context fits Managerial Accounting, which has the objective of improving information for decision making from the process of measurement and allocation of costs to products and processes, providing economic information to evaluate the performance. These demanding require methodologies that generate the information necessary to assist the global goal of Managerial Accounting. However, several authors (ALBRIGHT; LAM, 2006, RAGHUNATHAN; MCKINNEY, 2002, AL-OMIRI; DRURY, 2007) claim that the Management Costing Systems (MCS) still shown to be inefficient and incomplete to reality and current dynamism of organizations. Thus, an analysis of this issues appears to be critical, in order to identifying the factors that influence the adoption and structuring of costing methodologies, used to support the processes of Management Accounting, and systematize a structured model to operationalize the processes of definition and modeling of this Information Systems. To meet these needs, this study is structured in three main articles and two supporting articles, made from a literature review (Article 1), a field study (Article 2) and two case studies (Article 3). With the development of these articles, the need of a conceptual model that meets the objectives of Management Accounting can be verified. The factors that influence the implementation and structuring of costing methods, identified in the literature, were presented, as well as a system for defining and modeling those methods was structured. With these results, it can be seen that a more adequate understanding of the company's strategy and objectives of the methods implemented, facilitates the operation of the Information Systems, allowing the use of the information generated to assist in planning and decision making.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates ways to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from the cement industry. Cement is one of the largest sources of man-made greenhouse gases, contributing ~5% of the global total. 40% of emissions from cement come from the fuel used in the process, while the electricity used contributes a further 5%. The focus of the research is to find operational changes that can reduce emissions without the need for large capital investment. Three cement plants in the UK were investigated using four different mathematical models based on real data from the plants. A new metric for assessing the environmental impact of the fuel mix of a plant was proposed, and evidence indicates that it may be a better predictor of environmental performance than the metrics currently used in industry. The research found that consistently improving this fuel metric to best-observed levels, as well as reducing the excess air ratio to industry-standard levels had the potential to reduce fuel consumption by up to 7%, and fuel derived CO2 emissions by up to 12%. Increasing use of biomass to best-observed levels had the potential to reduce the net fuel derived CO2 emissions by up to 20%. Comparing the proposed improvements to the historic range of plant performance showed that this level of performance is within the normal operating range of the plants. A reduction of 2-4% in electricity costs and electricity derived emissions was also possible from operational changes. These savings would reduce operating costs as well as emissions, and require little to no capital investment, meaning they could be implemented directly. If successfully implemented in the near future the total savings by 2050 would be on a similar scale to those expected from much more expensive technology changes, such as upgrading to new cement plants, or installing carbon capture and storage technology.

Dans le contexte économique et compétitif actuel, ce qui permet aux entreprises de se distinguer c'est leur réactivité à fournir des produits de plus en plus complexes sen répondant à des besoins toujours plus diversifiés. Pour faire face à cette exigence de réactivité et malgré ces contraintes, les approches d'ingénierie intégrée sont apparues pour une meilleure gestion du cycle de vie des produits. Dans ce contexte la prise en compte des variabilités et leurs interdépendances a été démontrée comme étant indispensable à l'amélioration des performances (coût, risque, qualité, …). Ce travail de thèse est consacré à l'élaboration d'un plan d'inspection optimal pour : la maîtrise de ces variabilités et leurs effets sur le comportement du produit, l'usage et les fonctionnalités de celui-ci. Pour cela un cadre méthodologique pour la co-conception des activités de contrôles de conformités et celles de suivi de fabrication a été formalisé. Ce cadre permet une prise de décision opérationnelle grâce à l'utilisation des outils opérationnels et assure la satisfaction des objectifs stratégiques (réduction des coûts, amélioration de la qualité, augmentation de la productivité, …). Suite à une synthèse approfondie de la littérature relative à la planification la qualité et de l'amélioration (conjointe) de la performance, les outils AMDEC, KC flowdown, et Activity Based Costing (ABC) ont été retenus. Cependant ces outils présentent certains manques à combler et ont fait donc l'objet de certaines modifications (adaptations) pour convenir au mieux aux besoins du cadre méthodologique proposé. L'intégration d'AMDEC et de KC flowdown a abouti à un nouvel outil nommé ACDE (Analyse de la Causalité, des Défaillances, et leurs Effets). Ainsi l'adaptation d'ABC à l'estimation de coût de la qualité par « Quality-Driven ABC » a été proposée. L'application de ces derniers a été proposée dans le cadre de la planification d'inspection « au juste nécessaire »In the current economic and competitive environment, what distinguish the companies is their reactivity to provide increasingly complex products with increasingly diverse needs. To achieve this reactivity despite constraints, integrated engineering approachs have been emerged to better manage and organize the product life cycle. In this context, it is essential to take into account the characteristics' variations and their interdependencies to improve the performance (cost, risk, quality ...). This thesis was devoted to the generation of an optimal inspection plan including process variations monitoring and product variations control. A methodological framework for the co-conception of product control and process monitoring activities has been formalized and validated. This framework allows operational decision-making by the intervention of operational tools and ensures the satisfaction of strategic objectives (cost reduction, improved quality, increased productivity ...). FMEA, KC flowdown, and Activity Based Costing (ABC) were selected following a comprehensive literature review on quality planning and performance improvement. However, these tools present some lack to fill up and therefore are subjected to certain adaptations in order to best fit the needs of the proposed methodological framework. Integration of FMEA and KC flowdown resulted in a new tool called ACDE. As well the adaptation of ABC to estimate the cost of quality by "Quality-Driven ABC" was proposed. The application of these latter has been proposed to limit the inspection planning to “bare essentials activities

Full textAbstract:
Un pan représentatif de la scène performative contemporain, en France, comme en Angleterre, se distingue par un intérêt commun pour la question du corps quotidien. Faisant fi des principes de représentation, de logique narrative ou de personnage, les praticiens d’aujourd’hui investissent des corporéités ordinaires et faillibles produisant des état de présence diffractés ainsi qu’un régime de spectateur fondé sur la reconnaissance d’une commune incompétence. Au moyen de temporalités scéniques suspendues, d’un ralentissement du mouvement et d’une inflexion des logiques de représentation et de perception, ils modélisent des outils de résistance à l’encontre des dynamiques accélérées d’une production intensifiée imposées par les institutions et l’économie culturelles. Renonçant à la séduction du spectaculaire et au fétiche de la technique, ils décident de produire moins. Inventant de nouvelles modalités d’un travail solidaire (collaborations éphémères, rencontres nouées selon une logique de projet, micro-communautés), ils dessinent, sur le plateau, un espace d’entente qui puisse reposer sur une égalité de condition entre performers et spectateurs. Loin de s’inscrire dans un geste de rupture ou de souscrire à un quelconque idéal utopiste, les artistes de la scène performative contemporaine actualisent une praxis critique de la scène qui tâche de créer, dans le temps de l’événement théâtral, une nouvelle façon d’être ensembleThe contemporary performance scene, in both France and England, can be distinguished by a common interest in the ‘everyday body.’ Discarding principles of representation, narrative logic, and characterisation, many of today’s practitioners choose instead to reflect a deliberately fallible and ordinary sense of their own corporality. This results in a notion of presence in which the presented body can somehow disappear and where a certain complicity with the audience is founded on a sense of common incompetence. The use of real time (as opposed to theatrical time) the restriction of movement, and a questioning and dismantling of the traditional ideas of theatrical presentation and reception, all form ways of resisting the accelerated and intensified production cycle imposed by the cultural economy in which the work is produced. Refusing to be seduced by notions of grand spectacle or perfect technique, these performers produce less within their performance and therefore embrace an “anti-productive” creative pattern. At the same time, inventing new ways of working together (ephemeral collaborations, meetings happening upon a project-based logic, micro-communities), they create, in the theatre, a democratic space based on an equality of status between performers and spectators. Without seeking revolution or utopia, they enable a critical investigation of the theatrical space that can, for the duration of an event, create new ways for all those present to experience being together within that space

Previous issue date: 2004-02-17Practice of association is the way for the small producers, that, isolated and with small production, they do not get to participate or to influence markets more and more competitive. Thus, it becomes necessary to evaluate organization`s forms that can be presented as socio-economic inclusion ways. The dissertation has for objective to impacts` evaluate of the practice of association in the economic, technological and social conditions of the milk producers. The impact evaluation was made from a set of performance indicators that allowed to evaluate the current result of the associations. The research method adopted was the case study, with multicases. The evaluation form used allowed to identify factors of success of the associations, like this as few restrictions for the development of these associative organizations. The associations are examples of success for the improvement in the life of producers, however it is a success with restrictions, therefore that this is restricted to some of the pointers and, particularly, are economic indicators. However, the social contribution of the associations for the producers is complementary and basic to the economic profits, being that these contribute excessively for the formation of the social capital. All the associations are how efficient how much to the objective to take care of its associates. One of cases, that association was disactivated, this also one revealed efficient while it was in functioning. Thus, the evaluation measure how much to the efficiency of the associations, considering that the efficiency is bigger to the measure that if they verify the indicated situations. It is distinguished in the results of that the associations that demonstrated the best ones resulted had been formed by independent and not governmental initiatives. In these conditions, these associations had contributed of more significant form for the formation of the social capital. In conclusion the work it brings two important contributions. The first is theoretician, with the presentation of a methodology for evaluation of associations of milk producers. Second it is practical, with the results of the research. The formation of the associations fortifies the producers ahead of the difficulties found in all the productive chain, since the producers if present as the link weakkest of the chain. However, this force still is restricted to the milk production, with great distance of the final and more important link of all the chain, the consumer. The practice of association is a good form of adequacy of the producing ahead to the requirements imposed for the market, but still it has very for if making. Exactly that all the good initiatives of each one of the associations were developed by all the associations, the current situation of the milk market, without politics consumption incentives, would not be enough for a significant improvement in the current picture of the milk sector.
O associativismo é o caminho para os pequenos produtores, que, isolados e com pequena produção, não conseguem participar ou influenciar mercados cada vez mais competitivos. Assim, torna-se necessário avaliar formas organizacionais que possam se apresentar como meios de inclusão sócio-econômicos. A dissertação tem por objetivo avaliar impactos do associativismo nas condições econômicas, tecnológicas e sociais dos produtores de leite. A avaliação de impacto foi feita a partir de um conjunto de indicadores de desempenho que permitiu avaliar o resultado atual das associações. O método de pesquisa adotado foi o estudo de caso, sendo utilizados multicasos. A forma de avaliação utilizada permitiu identificar fatores de sucesso das associações, assim como diversas restrições para o desenvolvimento destas organizações associativas. As associações são exemplos de sucesso para a melhoria na vida dos produtores, porém, é um sucesso com restrições, já que este está restrito a alguns dos indicadores e, particularmente, são indicadores econômicos. Entretanto, a contribuição social das associações para os produtores é complementar e fundamental aos ganhos econômicos, sendo que estas contribuem sobremaneira para a formação do capital social. Todas as associações são eficazes quanto ao objetivo de atender seus associados. Em um dos casos, onde a associação foi desativada, esta também mostrou-se eficaz enquanto esteve em funcionamento. Assim, a avaliação mediu quanto à eficiência das associações, considerando que a eficiência é maior à medida que se verificam as situações indicadas. Destaca-se nos resultados o fato de que as associações que demonstraram os melhores resultados foram formadas por iniciativas autônomas e não governamentais. Nestas condições, estas associações contribuíram de forma mais significativa para a formação do capital social. Como conclusão o trabalho traz duas importantes contribuições. A primeira é teórica, com a apresentação de uma metodologia para avaliação de associações de produtores de leite. A segunda é empírica, com os resultados da pesquisa. A formação das associações fortalece os produtores diante das dificuldades encontradas em toda a cadeia produtiva, visto que os produtores se apresentam como o elo mais fraco da cadeia. Porém, este fortalecimento ainda está restrito à produção leiteira, com grande distância do elo final e mais importante de toda a cadeia, o consumidor. O associativismo é uma boa forma de adequação do produtor diante das exigências impostas pelo mercado, mas ainda há muito por se fazer. Mesmo que todas as boas iniciativas de cada uma das associações fossem desenvolvidas por todas as associações, a situação atual do mercado de leite, sem políticas de incentivo ao consumo, não seriam suficientes para uma melhoria significativa no quadro atual do setor leiteiro.

Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'impact de la mobilité sur les performances des réseaux ad hoc mobiles (MANETs en anglais). Elle comporte deux parties. La première partie de la thèse dresse un état de l'art du protocole TCP dans MANETs. La principale conclusion est que la mobilité dégrade les performances de TCP, à cause de problèmes de routage et de partitions du réseau qu'elle occasionne. Partant de ce constat, nous proposons et analysons dans la deuxième partie de la thèse des schémas de transmission qui s'appuient sur la mobilité. Plus précisément, chaque noeud peut servir de relais en l'absence de route directe entre la source et la destination. Nous nous sommes tout d'abord intéressés aux performances des noeuds relais (débit et taille moyenne des files) en utilisant le formalisme des files d'attente.Un des résultats principaux est que le débit des noeuds relais est minimisé quand les noeuds bougent selon des modèles de mouvements aléatoires qui ont une distribution stationnaire uniforme de position. Pour optimiser les performances du protocole de relais à deux sauts, particulièrement le délai de transmission, nous avons ensuite étudié le cas où un paquet peut avoir plusieurs copies dans le réseau, sous l'hypothèse où ces copies ont des durées de vie limitées. Les performances (délai, énergie consommée) ont été obtenu en utilisant le formalisme des chaînes de Markov absorbantes, ainsi que des modèles fluides. Nous avons appliqué nos résultats pour optimiser la consommation d'énergie en présence de contraintes sur les délais.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis chant-dissertation is the sharing of my reflection on the theme of the sacred dimension of poetic voice, done through dialogue and intersection of two research fields. The first field is the work of Cecilia Valentim in her approach A Arte do Ser Cantante and the second one is the creation process the play Recusa, by Cia Balagan , where I frame the research on the vocal poetic work developed, both fields are mainly located in São Paulo. To thicken the discussion on the theme voice and sacred, I bring the concepts discussed by Grotowski, a great theater thinker, about the presence of the actor, Art as Vehicle and vibration chants, as well as other references related to voice, rituality, singing, creation. In order to accomplish this research I use semi-structured interviews and field journals. For the first field I followed a number of courses given by Cecília Valentim. As for the second field, the analysis was done through the play´s appreciation and the reading of several materials from the process (film, images, articles written about the process, etc). From contact with the two fields of research some elements emerged which guided me through the reflection on the subject of voice and the sacred. The identification and formulation of such elements are my place of arrival in the investigation. I build through the research a thought about voice as humanity force, as discovery and expansion of oneself and of the world.
Este canto-dissertação é o compartilhamento de minha reflexão sobre o tema da dimensão sagrada da voz poética, feita através da análise e diálogo com dois campos de pesquisa, localizados em São Paulo. O primeiro deles é o trabalho de Cecília Valentim na sua abordagem A Arte do Ser Cantante, e o segundo campo é o processo de criação do espetáculo Recusa, da Cia Teatro Balagan, sob o recorte do trabalho poético vocal desenvolvido. Para adensar a discussão sobre a voz e o sagrado trago conceitos elaborados por Grotowski sobre a presença do ator, a Arte como Veículo e os cantos vibratórios, bem como outras referências relacionadas à voz, ritualidade, canto, criação. Em ambos os contextos realizo entrevistas semiestruturadas e registro em diário de campo. No caso do primeiro campo, ainda acompanho cursos livres e formação ministrada por Cecília Valentim. Para a análise do processo de Recusa parto da fruição do espetáculo e leitura de materiais (vídeo, imagens, artigos sobre o processo de criação, etc). A partir do contato com os dois campos emergem alguns elementos que me conduziram no pensamento sobre o tema da voz e do sagrado. A identificação e a formulação de tais elementos são meu lugar de chegada na investigação. Construo a partir da pesquisa uma reflexão sobre a voz como força de humanidade, como descoberta e alargamento de si e do mundo.

L'intérêt pour l'analyse passive de traces a considérablement augmenté, nous offrant de nouvelles approches pour analyser et améliorer les performances réseaux. L'hétérogénéité d'Internet est en constante évolution : nouvelles technologies d'accès, des clients avec mobiles et toujours de plus en plus de services et d'applications. D'autre part, l'intérêt pour la mesure de performance des réseaux d'entreprises ne cesse de se développer. Ces sujets sont d'une importance cruciale pour les fournisseurs de services Internet, gestionnaires de réseaux et des entreprises, puisqu'ils ont déjà reçu une attention considérable de la part de la communauté de recherche. Malgré ces efforts, un certain nombre de questions reste ouvert. Dans cette thèse on traite le trafic TCP, qui représente la majorité des flux Internet. Lors de cette analyse, nous nous concentrons sur les connexions complètes, du point de vue TCP. Le présent travail se compose de trois parties traitant différent aspects sur les approches actuelles d'analyse de performances de TCP, l'étude des performances et la détection d'anomalies de niveau applicatif. Dans la première partie, nous présentons les travaux les plus importants, les traces réseaux sur lesquelles nous nous sommes basé ainsi que les problèmes rencontrés lors de l'étude des performances de TCP au niveau applicatif. Nous présentons un premier aperçu de l'impact de l'application sur les transferts TCP. Nous démontrons que si les pertes peuvent avoir un impact négatif sur les petits transferts TCP, l'application affecte de manière significative le temps de transfert de la majorité des flux. Dans cette partie, nous démontrons que certaines mesures peuvent être biaisées par des technologies spécifiques mises en oeuvre dans les réseaux Cellulaires. Dans la seconde partie, nous comparons sur des traces passives, les performances de clients Internet, d'un même operateur sur les trafics : Cellulaires, FTTH et ADSL. Nous montrons que l'étude des paramètres classiques d'analyse de performance ne permet pas d'expliquer totalement les performances perçues par les clients. Ensuite, nous validons une approche plus fine, permettant de décomposer chaque connexion TCP, bien formée, en intervalles de temps. Notre approche de décomposition de connexion TCP permet d'extraire automatiquement l'impact du comportement de l'application, l'accès, le serveur et le client. Nous regroupons, avec des algorithmes adéquats, les transferts avec des performances similaires sur les différents types d'accès. Puis, nous proposons une caractérisation de certains aspects de l'analyse de trafic dans un reseau d'entreprise. Dans la dernière partie, nous nous concentrons sur la problématique de profilage d'anomalies sur les connexions TCP, définis comme correct mais avec des performances anormales. Notre méthode permet d'identifier la cause des problèmes de performance, qui peuvent être soit des pertes ou bien des temps perdus lors de la préparation des données ou du transfert. Nous appliquons cette approche pour le cas de plusieurs traces de trafic Internet et entreprise. Nous démontrons l'existence d'une adaptation spécifique pour la récupération sur les pertes sur le réseau Cellulaire qui semble plus efficace que sur les réseaux filaires.

Full textAbstract:
Ces travaux de recherche portent sur la synthèse systématique et l’optimisation de correcteurs numériques à structure polynomiale RST par approches métaheuristiques. Les problèmes classiques de placement de pôles et de calibrage des fonctions de sensibilité de la boucle fermée RST sont formulés sous forme de problèmes d’optimisation multi-objectif sous contraintes pour lequel des algorithmes métaheuristiques de type NSGA-II, MODE, MOPSO et epsilon-MOPSO sont proposés et adaptés. Deux formulations du problème de synthèse RST ont été proposées. La première approche, formulée dans le domaine temporel, consiste à minimiser des indices de performance, de type ISE et MO, issus de la théorie de la commande optimale et liés essentiellement à la réponse indicielle du système corrigé. Ces critères sont optimisés sous des contraintes non analytiques définis par des gabarits temporels sur la dynamique de la boucle fermée. Dans la deuxième approche de synthèse RST, une formulation dans le domaine fréquentiel est retenue. La stratégie proposée consiste à définir et calculer une fonction de sensibilité de sortie désirée en satisfaisant des contraintes de robustesse de H∞. L’utilisation de parties fixes dans la fonction de sensibilité de sortie désirée assurera un placement partiel des pôles de la boucle fermée RST. L’inverse d’une telle fonction de sensibilité désirée définira le filtre de pondération H∞ associé. Un intérêt particulier est porté à l’approche d’optimisation par essaim particulière PSO pour la résolution des problèmes multi-objectif de commande reformulés. Un algorithme MOPSO à grille adaptative est proposé et puis perfectionné à base des concepts de l’epsilon-dominance. L’algorithme epsilon-MOPSO obtenu a montré, par comparaison avec les algorithmes MOPSO, NSGA-II et MODE, des performances supérieures en termes de diversité des solutions de Pareto et de rapidité en temps de convergence. Des métriques de type distance générationnelle, taux d’erreurs et espacement sont toutefois considérées pour l’analyse statistique des résultats de mise en œuvre obtenus. Une application à la commande en vitesse variable d’un moteur électrique DC est effectuée, également pour la commande en position d’un système de transmission flexible à charges variables. La mise en œuvre par simulations numériques sur les procédés considérés est également présentée dans le but de montrer la validité et l’efficacité de l’approche de commande optimale RST proposéeThis research focuses on the systematic synthesis and optimization of digital RST structure based controllers thanks to global metaheuristics approaches. The classic and hard problems of closed-loop poles placement and sensitivity functions shaping of RST control are well formulated as constrained multi-objective problems to be solved with proposed metaheuristics algorithms NSGA-II, MODE, MOPSO and especially epsilon-MOPSO. Two formulations of the metaheuristics-tuned RST problem have been proposed. The first one, which is given in the time domain, deals with the minimization of several performance criteria like the Integral Square Error (ISE) and the Maximum Overshoot (MO) indices. These optimal criteria, related primarily to the step response of the controlled plant, are optimized under non-analytical constraints defined by temporal templates on the closed-loop dynamics. In the second approach, a formulation in the frequency domain is retained. The proposed strategy aims to optimize a desired output sensitivity function satisfying H∞ robustness constraints. The use of a suitable fixed part of the optimized output sensitivity function will provide partial pole placement of the closed-loop dynamics of the digital RST controller. The opposite of such desired sensitivity function will define the associated H∞ weighting filter. The Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) technique is particularly retained for the resolution of all formulated multi-objective RST control problems. An adaptive grid based MOPSO algorithm is firstly proposed and then improved based on the epsilon-dominance concepts. Such proposed epsilon-MOPSO algorithm, with a good diversity of the provided Pareto solutions and fast convergence time, showed a remarkable superiority compared to the standard MOPSO, NSGA-II and MODE algorithms. Performance metrics, such as generational distance, error rate and spacing, are presented for the statistical analysis of the achieved multi-optimization results. An application to the variable speed RST control of an electrical DC drive is performed, also for the RST position control of a flexible transmission plant with varying loads. Demonstrative simulations and comparisons are carried out in order to show the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed metaheuristics-based tuned RST control approach, which is formulated in the multi-objective optimization framework

Full textAbstract:
Dans un processus traditionnel de conception de produits mécaniques, l'organisation classique est la conception du produit puis son dimensionnement et enfin son optimisation. Les concepteurs prennent des risques en n'évaluant les performances du produit que dans les dernières phases du processus, et l'étape d'optimisation est bien souvent mise de côté, faute de temps ou à cause du retard pris sur les autres phases. La phase de conception préliminaire est une étape délicate car les décisions doivent y être prises dans un contexte imprécis ou peu de choses sont définies. Il n'existe pas d'outils informatiques adaptés et l'étude de plusieurs concepts multiplie les tâches routinières et les pertes de temps associées. Le concepteur prend donc des risques en réduisant le nombre de concepts développés. Le dimensionnement de produits comporte également un certain nombre de difficultés, comme un positionnement tardif dans le processus, entraînant des étapes de pré et post traitement lourdes ainsi que des simulations longues. L'analyse d'aide à la décision est prometteuse mais elle reste marginale, faute de modèles simplifiés disponibles dans les phases amont du processus de conception.Cette thèse expose la synthèse de nos travaux de recherche portant sur l'optimisation en conception de systèmes mécaniques. L'étude proposée s'intègre dans une démarche d'ingénierie hautement productive de systèmes mécaniques et comporte plusieurs facettes : conception fonctionnelle paramétrique, application d'ingénierie à base de connaissances, outils de simulation numérique et d'optimisation. Nous proposons une méthodologie permettant d'introduire au plus tôt dans le processus de conception, une étape d'optimisation couplée à des simulations d'aide à la décision, en vue d'identifier des architectures optimales inédites, présentant les meilleurs compromis vis-à-vis d'objectifs multiples relatifs au comportement mécanique. L'objectif du travail de recherche est de développer des modèles, des méthodes et des outils dédiés à la génération semi-automatique de modèles géométriques tridimensionnels multiples identifiés comme solutions les plus performantes dans un cadre de conception collaborative de produits mécaniques. Notre méthodologie est ensuite expérimentée sur plusieurs projets de conception de systèmes mécaniques relevant de la mécanique des structures, en analyses statique et dynamique. Il s'agit en particulier de la conception d'organes du véhicule de l'UTBM participant au trophée SIA.

Full textAbstract:
L'évolution actuelle des exigences en termes de performance énergétique des bâtiments a fait apparaître de nouveaux enjeux et problématiques scientifiques, dont ceux liés à l'humidité. Cette étude s'appuie sur une cellule expérimentale construite sur la technologie des maisons à ossature bois et soumise aux conditions climatiques réelles de Grenoble. L'instrumentation de ce bâtiment et le suivi de l'évolution en température et en humidité dans les différentes couches de l'enveloppe permettent de définir des séquences nécessaires à la validation de modèles numériques. Dans cet objectif, un modèle existant nommé HAM-Tools a été utilisé pour simuler les transferts couplés de chaleur, d'air et d'humidité à l'échelle du bâtiment. La démarche de validation a été décomposée en plusieurs étapes, de manière à cibler des transferts spécifiques et d'en améliorer la modélisation. Ces études localisées concernent les transferts couplés de chaleur et de masse à travers les parois solides, la modélisation des transferts de chaleur à travers une lame d'air ventilée et enfin la modélisation du renouvellement de l'air intérieur en conditions naturelles. Pour estimer la précision globale du modèle, c'est-à-dire à l'échelle du bâtiment, une séquence expérimentale a été simulée en prenant en compte l'ensemble des transferts couplés simultanément. Les performances du modèle sont discutées à partir des mesures locales, c'est-à-dire dans les parois, puis globales. La bonne concordance entre mesures et résultats de simulation permet de conclure sur la validité et la généricité de la démarche mise en œuvre et les hypothèses de simulation. Plus particulièrement, il est apparu que l'outil de modélisation permet de prédire correctement le comportement moyen des parois en humidité et en température. Il est donc envisageable de l'utiliser pour simuler et estimer l'impact des constituants des parois en termes de durabilité, de performances énergétiques et de confort de l'occupant.

Abstract Recently we need the 3D sound technologies to build the「Virtual Reality ,VR」[3]for desktop computers. The VR technologies use a computer to produce the virtual 3D space. This space looks like the real world. So we can feel all the senses in that virtual world. For humans, eyes are the important organ to give us the feeling of direction and distance. The main subject we want to research is, to make the transmission of the sound andthe sight simultaneously in our brain, then human brain can clearly knows where the events occur. For this purpose ,we use the「Head Related Transfer Function,HRTF」[1] to achieve the main goal. In current process, it’s require to execute the amplitude of waveform, a amount of decay, delay time and inter aural difference of the HRTF process in real time. A new results can be obtained by applying the wave files of the HRTF. The sound quality of our result are as good as the CD (44kHz、16 bits、stereo). The key point of this technology is to use the HRTF to convolute with the input source files. To increase speed of the algorithm, we use integer variables to evaluate the convolution operation in our program. To demonstrate the result, we add the 3D animation in our program.So we can feel the movement of sound source more real by the combination of the images and sound.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of regulatory fit on shoot sport performance. Regulatory Focus Theory mainly distinguishes people from promotion focus and prevention focus.And they performed on not only individual but also emvironment,when the focouses are cogruennt between person and environment,it would get the feeling of feeling right and then elevate personal ability.The state named Regulatory Fit. In the study, a web-based situational shooting game is designed based on the theory, without limiting the Participants’ condition and performing a shooting game to test if the best performance is achieved when achieving the Regulatory Fit. Before the game the participants completed the questionnaire to assess individual’s regulatory focus and then enter the game to manipulate. The experiment is not as good as expected, and is far from the past. The results showed that age was positively correlated with performance, and there was no significant difference between male and female, and there was no significant difference in performance. In the past studies, it was confirmed that the theory had a practical effect on the athletes. However, the study was designed the innovation of combing the network environment of the network environment and sports, but there were still some errors, and the problem of research limited had to be overcome. The auther believed this results is a good reference for future study in Regulatory Focus Theory on sport.performance

The objective of this practicum project was to address the lack of overall cohesion of identity and culture in Winnipeg’s Cultural District through the development of a Bistro and Lounge. Theoretical concepts of placemaking helped ground the design within Winnipeg and it’s performing arts community. The project investigates how the relationship between an interior and its surrounding community context might influence one another. Aspects of performance theory, used in conjunction with theories of performativity provided a framework for the design in order to relate the act of performing to the simple rituals of the everyday. Finally, the project seeks to explore the performance opportunities a bistro and lounge environment present when the private element of a dressing room is introduced in to the space. The intention of the facility is to provide the user with a place to socialize and a means to feel as though they have assumed the role of a performer for the evening. Most importantly, this facility will provide the district with another rich, cultural experience, different from what is already available.

Despite habitat perturbations and seasonal fluctuations in reproduction, many studies report no significant inter-annual variation in Great Egret reproductive performance. I examined the reproductive performance of Great Egrets (Ardea alba) for two breeding seasons (2009 and 2010) immediately following Hurricane Ike at High Island, Texas. Breeding success, productivity, and mean brood size did not differ between years (U-test, P > 0.05). Fledging success at 21 days showed no significant difference between years, however fledging success at 28, 35, and 42 days decreased significantly between years (~15% reduction at 42 days; U-test, P = 0.027). The number of deaths per nest also differed significantly between 2009 and 2010 (0.36 and 0.95, respectively) (U-test, P = 0.013). Brood-size dependent mortality was also a significant between-year parameter (H test, P = 0.003). Successful nests in 2009 had a brood size range of 2 to 3, and of these nests, 6% and 50% experienced partial brood reduction, respectively; whereas 2010 brood size range for successful nests was 2 to 4, and 0%, 57%, and 100% of these nests, respectively, experienced partial brood reduction. Other parameters examined were water level, temperature, precipitation, prey availability, and human disturbance. I rejected my hypothesis that habitat conditions would be less conducive to high reproductive success in 2009 than 2010, due to the impacts of Hurricane Ike. My results suggest that Great Egrets have bimodal occurrences of nestling death that are expressed as a function of brood size, hatching spread, and nestling age. Reproductive performance studies should continue through at least fledging age (42 days post-hatching for Great Egrets) to better document the reproductive performance, especially by incorporating the apparent behavioral plasticity of nestlings.

In this study, the flow, the temperature and the combustion performance of a micro engine combustor is tested experimentally. During the design of a micro engine combustor, it is always difficult to accurately arrange the inlet air distribution, because the suitability of the conventionally recommended Cd (discharge coefficient) based on large and small engine is questionable for micro-engine. The relationship between Cd and the dynamic pressure ratio K, for micro- engines with K ranging from 1 to 4 is experimentally established. Then, with the aid of the oil flow techniques and pressure data, the inlet air distribution can be estimated. Three typical operating conditions are considered:1. Nearly idle condition2. Cruise condition3. Nearly Full power condition After the improvement of the atomizer, the outlet temperature is increased by 12 to 27%. Moreover,if the upstream air is preheated, an increase of 36 to 48% of temperature can be achieved and the combustion efficiency is thus improved. We can find that the efficiency of this micro engine combustor can achieve the same performance as the small engine combustors at cruise and full power conditions, but with a little bit lower efficiency at the idle condition. It indicates a success in the design of the combustor in the size reduction to a micro-turbine engine.

In this research, we study the influence of the electrode pattern design on turn-on voltage、light intensity、junction working temperature and current distribution in light emitting diodes (LEDs). We also study the influence of temperature on electroluminescent dominate wavelength for light emitting diodes. Furthermore，we utitizing Photo emission Microscope inspection to failure analysis for failure devices. We hope of advances notions between electrode pattern design and turn-on voltage、 light intensity、temperature for LEDs. We designed several electrode patterns in the fixed sized LEDs. In our research, we found that the reduction of turn-on voltage is related to the increasing total length of P-electrode and N-electrode. Furthermore, we found that the reduction of turn-on voltage is also related to the parallel length of P electrode and N electrode. Base on the experiment results, we estimated the reduction of turn-on voltage is proportion to the total length of P electrode and N electrode. For conversation efficiency, we found it proportion to the area which deduct P electrode area from transparent conduction layer (TCL) and the area of P electrode overlap N electrode. But, based on experiment results of temperature, we found that the LEDs of electrode pattern design unconformable would accounted for current crowding effect caused electroluminuence dominate wavelength shift acutely and light intensity saturation early. Based on failure analysis results, we found that when applied reverse bias, the LEDs of high leakage current would found failure point easily in photo emission microscopy measurement. We think that make up to failure analysis more intimate for failure point at failured devices.

The major purpose of this study is to understand the effect of Human Resource Professional Competencies and Work Motivation to Individual Job Performance. The human resource professional competencies include business knowledge, functional human resource expertise, strategic human resource expertise, communication & negotiation, human resource diagnosis & counseling, and self-development, and the work motivation includes intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. It is not only to understand the effects from these factors but also to know the interaction no matter the competencies or the motivation to be as the moderator of the relationship between the other and job performance. The methodology of this study is to survey around the human resource professionals in Taiwan. The questionnaire is spread by both on-line survey system and paper sheets. It is divided into two parts: one is designed for human resource professionals to self-assess their competencies and work motivations, and the other is for their supervisors to rate their job performance. Finally, we analyze the data by linear regression statistics. The results of this study indicate that professional competencies correlate positively with job performance, especially the “self-development” and “business knowledge” correlate highly positively. The work motivation also correlates positively with job performance, and the intrinsic motivation correlates highly positively. However, there is no correlation between extrinsic motivation and job performance. Generally speaking, the professional competencies affect the job performance more than work motivation. The interaction between professional competencies and work motivation to job performance exist partially. Therefore, business knowledge, self-development, and intrinsic motivation are important factor for human resource professionals’ job performance. It is recommended to recruit talents with such specialties, and to provide training to increase their business knowledge and strategic human resource expertise. Besides, a flexible job design and challenging tasks can also promote their job performance.

For many financial institutes, information sector is more and more playing a crucial role for banking operation than ever before, and the competitions among the banks are dramatically increasing. Besides, advanced information technology (IT) has become a core competing advantage in banking arena. Therefore, how to manage the operation of information sector efficiently and measure its performance should be a currently significant subject. This study represents the concept of balanced scorecard (BSC) with four perspectives (financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth) to build the entirely performance measurement indicators of information sector and exploits analytic network process (ANP) method to evaluate its holistic performance. The research structure herein falls into two phases. In the first phase, four perspectives of BSC are dedicated to measure performance of banks through the literature survey and expert interview, and factor analysis (FA) is used to sieve out sixteen key strategic indicators from the population of performance indicators in terms of key performance indicators (KPI). In the second phase, using ANP package to calculate and adjust the dependencies among KPI and further determine the relative weights of objective KPI concerning the dependence and feedback characteristics of BSC perspectives. The discoveries of the research are induced as follows: In the financial perspective, the information sector hopes to control its the level of budget and cost; in the customer perspective, the information sector hopes to reduce the times of complaints by way of its high quality and efficient services; in the internal business processes perspective, the information sector attaches quite importance to its process quality, operation efficiency and response cycle time; in the learning and growth perspective, the information sector hopes to increase its professional technical capacity through the continue studying and learning.

This study is to exam the relation among corporate governance, earnings management, and firm value for Taiwan electrical industry. The importance of corporate governance would be more and more stressed by enterprises after the huge loss caused by subprime mortgage markets. Final empirical evidences show that significant negative relationship was found to exist between earnings management and financial performance variables such as ROA, ROE and EPS. However, earnings management will have positive effects on Tobin Q. It will infer that earnings management seems to be able to reduce the volatilities of profits, which might be helpful to lift up the firm values. Secondly, the empirical result shows that CEO duality is negative related to financial performance ;the proportion of shares held by directors is positively related to financial performance. It means the enterprises with the chairman of the broad with the duty of CEO might have manipulating power of earnings management. Thirdly, the interaction item between the proportion of foreign-investor-owned shared and earnings management are negative to firm value. Results support that investors concern balance sheet, income statement, consolidated statement of cash flows and disclosure item.

With the rapid development of learning technology and open educational resources, the integration of learning and technology has gradually become a trend. More and more teachers of higher education institutions and primary and secondary schools use Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) into their instruction. Relevant literature shows that most researches are based on the development of teachers, academic institutions, or MOOCs. There are few studies on the integration of teacher education courses, MOOCS and flipped classroom. Thus, the purpose of this study is to understand learners’ learning process, attitudes, problems encountered, solutions, and recommendations for future use of MOOCs into teaching. This study interviewed six pre-service teachers who had participated in a teacher education course integrated with MOOCs. The results of the study showed that the use of MOOCs into learning is for lifelong learning and future career. However, the function of MOOCs platform did not bring academic benefits. Most learners’ mentioned that lecturors’ teaching style in MOOCs influence their learning . Student lack of self-discipline is a big challenge because of online learning limitation. MOOCs is considered as an auxiliary textbook in the classroom. Thus, it is recommended that pre-service teachers can integrate MOOCs into the middle school curriculum in the future. Finally, the research results, discussions and suggestions were provided to scholars, teachers and relevant education practitioners.

The study is researching the relationship between the attributes and performance of the investors. In order to realize the correlation of investors’ attributes and performance, this research uses the positive examples to analyze the variation of investors’ behaviors. Under the risks that the investors can bear to pursue the maximum rewards. If the same investors in different markets, will it result the different variation of attributes. Will the same attributes in different investing environments bring the variation of rewards? Because of the variation of investing performance, the investors will bring the variation about the risk attitude. This research is using the customer’s real investing performance and each annual attributes variations to analyze the correlation. Using the statement statistic, correlation test, T-test, and the regression analysis, it tests every remarkable variable in each attributes and performances. The important outcomes of positive examples are as following: It is not remarkable for performance about the investor’s sex, age, asset class, risk attributes. Return on Investment of asset utilization and marketplace show the positive effect. The average performance of asset allocation after undergo many Bearish Market will better than the performance of single investment target. Changes in the market will influence the outcomes of investors’ attributes questionnaire. It shows that the investors are very rational. The previous year’s Return on Investment will influence this year and next year investors’ attitudes in updating risk attributes questionnaire. It indirectly explain that the investors don’t have the mature ideas about manage finances. In performance analysis the active investors are not better than those in conservative. It doesn’t matter in single investment or annual total investment Return on Investment rate. The steady investors are better than those in others. Annual average rewards are better than the index number performance in Taiex. It is probably that the X bank imports the concepts of asset utilization.

This study analyzes the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance for the public listed companies in Taiwan, and the effect of a firm's research and development (R&D) intensity in mediating the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. The corporate social responsibility performance rating data are taken from Common Wealth Magazine. The empirical results confirm that there is an obvious positive relationship between CSR and financial performance. In addition, CSR has positive influences on R&D, and after controlling for R&D, the impact of CSR on financial performance are reduced. Thus, R&D intensity plays as a mediator of the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance.

The primary objective of this research was to determine the sources of tension
during assessment processes and what could be done to improve employee
performance in the Tshwane West District Office of the Gauteng Department of
Education. In order to achieve the stated objective of the research, a sequential,
explanatory, mixed method was employed in this research.
The findings of the research reflected the sources of tension during the assessment
process as a result of the lack of training on the part of managers on how to manage
tension during the process. Managers are overburdened with work and they cannot
cope with the number of employees under their supervision. This negatively affects
the manner in which they conduct the assessments. Work balance and a distribution
of tasks would assist in this regard. In addition, employees perceive the process as
unfair and biased. Therefore, they have developed a negative attitude toward the
system.
To address the above challenges, this research proposes that managers involved in
the performance management process should undergo training to equip them with
skills to manage tension during assessments. An employee wellness programme
should be made available to assist employees who are stressed about strained
relations between them and their managers. A human resource representative could
also be invited to sit in during performance reviews as a way of ensuring fairness
and objectivity. It is also critical for managers to ensure that they are approachable to
their own subordinates so that they have the opportunity to raise their concerns.Public Administration and Management
