González, Bellido Eduardo André. "Real-time quantitative sonoelastography in an ultrasound research system." Master's thesis, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2017. http://tesis.pucp.edu.pe/repositorio/handle/123456789/9511.
Full textQuantitative sonoelastography is an alternative technology for ultrasound imaging that helps radiologist to diagnose malignant tumors with no risk of radiation-induced cancer (i.e. mammography). However, due to the high computational complexity found in the current algorithms, implementation of real-time systems that could benefit examination procedures has not been yet reported. Additionally, elasticity maps depicted from current estimators feature artifacts of high estimation variance that could mislead the technician into the presence of stiffer masses, generating false positive diagnosis. In this thesis, a GPU-based elastography system was designed and implemented on a research ultrasound equipment, displaying quantitative elasticity in real-time at 2 FPS with an improvement computational time factor of 26. Validation of the system accuracy was conducted on gelatin-based tissue mimicking phantoms, where low bias of elasticity values were reported (4.7%) at low excitation frequencies. Additionally, a new elasticity estimator based on quantitative sonoelastography was developed. A linear problem was modeled from the acquired sonolastography data along the lateral dimension and a regularization method was implemented. The resulting elasticity images presented low bias (1.48%), enhanced CNR and reduced lateral artifacts when evaluating the algorithm’s performance in a breast calibrated phantom and comparing it with other estimators found in the literature. These two contribution benefit the implementation and development of further elastography techniques that could provide enhanced quality of elasticity images and thus, improved accuracy of diagnosis.

Full textThe epistemological and ontological orientations relevant for this research are positivism, interpretivism and pragmatism. These paradigms of inquiry are associated with quantitatively oriented research traditions, qualitatively oriented research traditions and mixed methods research respectively. Researchers who use mixed methods build on the strengths of quantitative and qualitative methods and minimize their weaknesses. Since educational research is primarily evidence-based, the aim of the study was to explore the extent to which mixed methods research was reflected in two eminent South African educational research journals during the 11 year period, 2000 to 2010. To this end 1392 articles were analysed. Of the research articles published in the two journals, 17.8% and 15.1% respectively reported on the use of mixed methods. Quantitative methods dominated between 2000 and 2002, followed by a paradigm war in 2003 to 2007, and mainly qualitative methods from 2008 onwards. Mixed methods research was mostly used in the educational domains of didactics (inclusive of curriculum studies), management and social studies. The most dominant themes investigated in these fields were related to curricula and the NQF/OBE, transformation, staff diversity, e-learning and other teaching methods. The need to develop mixed methods research in all branches of social research in South Africa is indicated.

Full textCrowdsourcing is an increasingly common method used for new product development in large engineering-focused companies. While effective at generating a large number of ideas, previous research has noted that there is not an efficient mechanism to sort ideas based on the sponsor's desired outcomes. Without such a mechanism, the sponsor is left to evaluate ideas individually in a labor-intensive effort. This paper evaluates the extent to which information revealed by the crowd during the course of a crowdsourcing event can be used to accurately predict sponsor selection of submitted ideas. The praxis reviews current literature relevant to new product development, innovation management, and crowdsourcing as well as methods for efficient sorting. Using a quantitatively-based methodology, the author develops and evaluates several predictive models using various attributes of the crowd reaction to crowdsourced ideas. Ultimately, the praxis proposes a model that can significantly reduce the burden of sorting through submissions and determining the submissions which merit further review.
Lima, Julio L. "Power, trust, police unions, and police managers| A quantitative research study." Thesis, Capella University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3732850.
Full textA Likert Scale Attitudinal Survey was distributed to sworn, non-supervisor, police officers at six police departments in the state of California in a department roll-call setting to measure the counterbalance of power, trust, and influence between police managers and police union leaders. The relationship between a police management and police union leadership is critical component in the internal dynamics of the police organization. The results from this study provide evidence that although on average rank and file police officers tend to trust and attribute more power within police organizations to police unions rather than to police managers, an analysis of the survey responses by inferential statistics showed that these differences were not statistically significant. Furthermore, an analysis of the survey results measuring the relationship between the specific leadership bases of power and trust revealed a statistically significant relationship between the perception of trust by rank and file officers and the use of specific bases of power by police managers and police union leaders. In conclusion, the implications for studies of leadership, power, and policing are discussed.
BIANCO, ISABELLA. "Innovation as an Interactive Process: a Theoretical, Quantitative and Qualitative Research." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Pavia, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/11571/1215969.
Full textIn economic literature, innovation has been traditionally considered as an exogenous force, resulting from scientific knowledge, which spills over the markets. Over the last decades, a more comprehensive understanding of the innovation as an interactive process has progressively emerged. In the new perspective, knowledge production, diffusion and transformation into innovation arise from a collective effort occurring within inter-organizational networks composed by heterogeneous actors connected each other in a systemic modality. The present dissertation aims at exploring the nature of innovation as an interactive process. The overall goal is to verify the mechanisms regulating inter-organizational knowledge exchange within innovative networks. According to the complexity of the subject, a multiple approach is proposed for facing the study scope from different points of view. In the first place, the research addresses diverse forms of collective innovation in the context of R&D. Three main levels are tackled: policies for stimulating inter-organizational knowledge generation and exchange, firm-firm collaborations and industry-science relations. Secondly, three different analytical methodologies are applied for investigating innovation process inclusively with distinct tools and focus lens. In the former paper, a theoretical and historical reconstruction is proposed to discover how the understanding of innovation as an interactive process has arisen within the economic studies. A theory-based research design in this case allows to illustrate the scientific evolution of the key concepts and models proposed for explaining the nature of knowledge and role of innovation and how they are in turn reflected in different policy rationales. Secondly, two empirical works are conducted for exploring the actual modalities of interactive knowledge transfer occurring within concretely established interactions. The first paper is based on a quantitative methodology directed to analyze the inter-firms knowledge flows within cooperative networks created by R&D projects sustained by public subsidies. The main goal is to detect which are the most relevant factors which favor the acquisition of external knowledge on the basis of the individual firms’ characteristics affecting their absorptive capacity. The statistical analysis is conducted at regional level on a sample of data collected from the case of Piemonte’s innovation programs for the period 2007-2013. The latter study proposes a qualitative investigation of industry-research relations. The inquiry is conducted on multiple cases of long term collaborations between the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and national firms. The study aims at enlightening the way through which the cooperation is set, developed over time and assessed by the involved organizations. The chosen analytical approach compares the combined perspectives of researchers and firms on the same experience and complements the various narratives for inductively identifying the most significant patterns across the single cases.

Full textEn IPO är det första erbjudandet av företagets aktier till den publika marknaden. En IPO genomförs ofta i samband med att företaget behöver ta in nytt kapital för framtida investeringar. Innan ett företag blir publikt är informationsinsynen begränsad vilket medför en risk för den som vill investera i det initiala erbjudandet. Investerarna som väljer att investera i erbjudandet är ofta kompenserade med en rabatt på aktierna och får då ofta en positiv avkastning på första handelsdagen. Denna initiala avkastning definieras som underprissättningen av erbjudandet. Om en majoritet av börsnoteringarna är underprissatta skulle det vara av stort intresse för investerare att upprepande investera i IPOs och ha detta som investeringsstrategi. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om det går att förutspå vilka IPOs som genererar en positiv avkastning första handelsdagen baserat på den informationen som finns att tillgå i IPO prospektet.
