The Assessment of Water Quality

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1975
The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the methods employed by water treatment facilities to measure turbidity, color, and odor in water; (2) to estimate the variability of measures obtained routinely by the most commonly employed methods; and (3) to relate combinations of measured turbidity, color, and odor values to public acceptability ...

Assessment of quality of life

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991
Assessment of quality of life has emerged in recent years as an important part of the overall evaluation of drug therapy and health care in general. Measurement techniques for this difficult assessment range from simple unqualified questions on patient well-being to complex statistical analyses of a wide range of lifestyle and activity variables.

Assessing the quality of metamodels

Frontiers of Computer Science, 2013
The complexity and diversity of modern software demands a variety of metamodel-based modeling languages for software development. Existing languages change continuously, and new ones are constantly emerging. In this situation, and especially for metamodel-based modeling languages, a quality assurance mechanism for metamodels is needed.

Assessing quality documents

ACM Journal of Computer Documentation, 2002
In recent years, an emphasis on quality has emerged in a variety of organizations and in several fields, including technical documentation. Producing Quality Technical Information (PQTI) was one of the first comprehensive discussions of the quality of documentation. An important contribution of the book is in identifying quality as multiple, measurable

Quality assessment of measurement

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2011
Assessing the quality of measurements is of interest to organizers of external quality assessment schemes (EQAS, or proficiency testing schemes), laboratory analysts and managers, users of laboratory results and other agencies. Scheme organizers run test programmes, define standards of acceptable and non-acceptable performance, and interact with ...

Quality of life assessment

Breast Cancer, 2002
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become one of the important endpoints in cancer treatments. However, a relatively small proportion of oncologists truly understand the concepts and uses of QOL assessments. In this article, I discuss psychometric properties that should be verified with QOL instruments, scope of the QOL concepts that should be ...

Inpainting quality assessment

Journal of Electronic Imaging, 2010
We propose a means of objectively comparing the results of digital image inpainting algorithms by analyzing changes in predicted human attention prior to and following application. Artifacting is generalized in two catagories, in-region and out-region, depending on whether or not attention changes are primarily within the edited region or in nearby ...

Data quality assessment

Communications of the ACM, 2002
How good is a company's data quality? Answering this question requires usable data quality metrics. Currently, most data quality measures are developed on an ad hoc basis to solve specific problems [6, 8], and fundamental principles necessary for developing usable metrics in practice are lacking.

Image Quality Assessments

2019
Deep learning with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) requires large number of training and test data sets which involves usually time-consuming visual inspection of medical image data. Recently, crowdsourcing methods have been proposed to gain such large training sets from untrained observers.

Company Quality Assessments

The TQM Magazine, 1991
First of a two‐part series. Examines current schemes for self‐assessment and their limitations. Proposes a new method of measuring organisational excellence and continous improvement.
