Modelling Meat Quality Attributes.

2001
Recent meat demand models incorporate demand functions for cuts of meat rather than whole carcasses. However, parameters for “meat quality” are seldom included in such models. Modelling difficulty arises as meat cuts are heterogeneous in their quality attributes.

Encapsulating Quality Attribute Knowledge

5th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA'05), 2006
This paper presents a technique developed at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) for encapsulating quality attribute knowledge for use in the design and validation of software architectures. A reasoning framework, our encapsulation mechanism, can be used by nonexperts to analyze a specific quality (e.g., performance, modifiability, availability ...

Classification of quality attributes

Managing Service Quality: An International Journal, 2007
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the different approaches to the classification of quality attributes deliver consistent results.Design/methodology/approachThe investigation includes four approaches and enables comparisons to be made from a methodological perspective and from an output perspective. The different approaches are

Modeling Quality Attributes and Quality Related Product Properties

2009
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses different quality attribute models including models for batches, models for growth, and models for globalization. Dealing with general patterns and variation in measured properties or attributes is, in its basic premises the technical goal of batch modeling.

Service Quality Attribute Weights

Journal of Service Research, 2007
Service experiences often unfold over a series of consumption episodes, yet customer perceptions of these experiences are often treated as static events. This prevents a good understanding of the impact of consumption stage on service perceptions. Prior research reveals little about the variation in the salience of service quality attributes between ...

Identifying Health Care Quality Attributes

Journal of Health and Human Services Administration, 2005
Evaluating health care quality is important for consumers, health care providers, and society. Developing a measure of health care service quality is an important precursor to systems and organizations that value health care quality. SERVQUAL has been proposed as a broad-based measure of service quality that may be applicable to health care settings ...

Meat quality attributes of Agile Wallabies

Meat Science, 2017
Meat quality traits of Agile Wallaby (Macropus agilis) M. longissimus (loin) and M. semimembranosus (topside) were investigated. Both muscles exhibited a relatively high pH (>5.7) and dark colour (L*-, a*-, and b*-values). Aging the loins from 2 to 21days p.m. had a significant effect on shear force.

Decision Quality Using Ranked Attribute Weights

Management Science, 1996
Three published approximation formulae for selecting the best multiattribute alternative based on rank-ordered weights are evaluated. All formulae are surprisingly efficacious in determining the best multiattribute alternative. Rank order centroid (ROC) weights are more accurate than the other rank-based formulae; furthermore, the ROC formula ...

Quality Attribute Techniques Framework

2009
The quality of software is achieved during its development. Development teams use various techniques to investigate, evaluate and control potential quality problems in their systems. These “Quality Attribute Techniques” target specific product qualities such as safety or security.

Quality Attribute Design Primitives

2000
Abstract : This report focuses on the quality attribute aspects of mechanisms. An architectural mechanism is a 'structure whereby objects collaborate to provide some behavior that satisfies a requirement of the problem'. The authors identity mechanisms that significantly affect quality attribute behavior and have sufficient content for analysis ...
