EVALUATION INDICATORS IN DISTANCE EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

RIED: Revista Iberoamericana de Educación a Distancia, 2001
The key- question the article propose is if it is possible to stablish a unique quality indicators system for all the universities. We realize there is no a consensus about which are the objectives at the University level.

Comparing Primary Distance Indicators

Scholarly Review Journal, 2022
Measuring distances to astronomical objects is crucial for collecting and analyzing their properties. Different distance methods form the distance ladder, in which methods for shorter distances calibrate methods for larger distances. Parallax, main sequence fitting, variable stars, and red clump stars form the lower portion of the distance ladder ...

K-band versus I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations as distance indicators [PDF]

, 2001
We evaluate the method of optical and infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) as a distance indicator and its application on 8-m class telescopes, such as the Very Large Telescope (VLT).

Globular Cluster Distance Determinations [PDF]

, 1998
The present status of the distance scale to Galactic globular clusters is reviewed. Six distance determination techniques which are deemed to be most reliable are discussed in depth. These different techniques are used to calibrate the absolute magnitude

The “Unreasonable” Effectiveness of the Wasserstein Distance in Analyzing Key Performance Indicators of a Network of Stores

Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 2022
Large retail companies routinely gather huge amounts of customer data, which are to be analyzed at a low granularity. To enable this analysis, several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), acquired for each customer through different channels are associated

A 4% Geometric Distance to the Galaxy NGC4258 from Orbital Motions in a Nuclear Gas Disk [PDF]

, 1999
The water maser in the mildly active nucleus in the nearby galaxy NGC4258 traces a thin, nearly edge-on, subparsec-scale Keplerian disk. Using the technique of very long baseline interferometry, we have detected the proper motions of these masers as they

The specific entropy of elliptical galaxies: an explanation for profile-shape distance indicators? [PDF]

, 1999
Dynamical systems in equilibrium have a stationary entropy; we suggest that elliptical galaxies, as stellar systems in a stage of quasi-equilibrium, may have a unique specific entropy.
