Assessment of Cardiac Performance
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971To the Editor.— The indirect measurement of left ventricular ejection time intervals for assessment of myocardial function was recently reviewed in an editorial ( 216 :2007, 1971). Many reports have verified the sensitivity of this technique and its good correlation with more elaborate cardiac function tests.

ASSESSING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR [PDF]
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, 2009 ABSTRACT**: One is used to hearing harsh statements about inefficient public services. It is not surprising to see public sector performance questioned. What is surprising is that what is meant by performance, and how it is measured, does not seem to matter much to either the critics or the advocates of the public sector.

Assessing radiologist performance
Current Problems in Diagnostic RadiologyUnless radiologist performance assessment is sufficiently deep, comprehensive, and balanced, it may tend to omit, obscure, or distort key aspects of the important contributions that radiologists make, with adverse consequences for employers, radiologists themselves, and above all, the patients they serve.

Smos payload performance assessment
2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010The performance requirements of the SMOS payload are demanding in terms of spatial resolution, accuracy, stability and precision, all critical to fulfill its scientific objectives. For this reason a commissioning plan for MIRAS was carefully devised to verify, calibrate and characterize all instrument parameters which could have an impact on its ...

Aerobic Performance Assessment
2018Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is made available by both aerobic and anaerobic means with proportional involvement dependent upon how rapidly it is required. While all world-class athletes are incredible performance machines, the Olympic decathlete is the most remarkable when physiological traits responsible for athletic success are considered. Given its

Assessing nonprofit performance
2010The activities of nonprofit organizations are increasingly subject to performance evaluation. This chapter discusses the possibilities and limitations of using social benefit cost analysis as a framework for measuring nonprofit performance. Cost–benefit Analysis (CBA) and the closely related methodology of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) have ...

On Assessing the Performance of Randomized Algorithms
Journal of Algorithms, 2000Summary: We study randomized algorithms with random input. We adapt to such algorithms the notion of probability of a false positive which is common in epidemiological studies. The probability of a false positive takes into account both the (controlled) error of the randomization and the randomness of the input, which needs to be modeled. We illustrate

This chapter examines a performance assessment tool (i.e., rubric) that is increasingly being utilized in online courses. The concept of performance assessment in the virtual classroom environment is discussed, including the proposition that using traditional assessment tools alone is not sufficient.
