Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of the Municipal Employee’s Performance Efficiency and Effectiveness Indicators on the Basis of Functional and Process ApproachesElena Ivanovna Danilina, Dmitry V. GorelovOne of the most difficult problems in evaluation of performance effectiveness of municipal employees is developing a list of relevant criteria and indicators. The purpose of this article is to develop schematic scientifically grounded criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the professional performance of municipal employees. The article considers the model for the development of a system of performance efficiency … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2015 · 6,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Denoising Algorithm for Impulse Noise RemovalA. Rajamani, V. KrishnaveniNow-a-days the images acquired by the digital cameras and defective sensors tend to introduce noises during either image acquisition or transmission process. The quality of the image is degraded in a significant measure. Lot of research works was carried out for several decades to denoise the impulse noise and each approach has its own merits and demerits. This study deals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Sep 2014 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY: MODEL FOR EVALUATION OF HUMAN ERROR PROBABILITY IN RAILWAY SYSTEMLombardi Mara, Guarascio Massimo, Rossi GiulianoThe methodology of quantitative risk assessment in use in the railway industry refers the RAMS approach, as expected in EN 50126, to define the failure of the system. From the probability of failure follows the evaluation of the failure consequence, the check of the accident occurrence and finally, the analysis of the achievable accident scenarios to quantify the damage as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Questionnaire Approach Based on the Technology Acceptance Model for Mobile Tracking on Patient Progress ApplicationsHussain Mohammad Abu-DalbouhHealthcare professionals spend much of their time wandering between patients and offices, while the supportive technology stays stationary.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sequence Based Validation of Gene Expression Microarray DataGerhard G. Thallinger, Eva Obermayr, Pornpimol Charoentong et al.Problem statement: Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is often used to validate microarray data. Previous studies show different levels of correlation, without further investigation of influencing factors. Approach: We compared expression levels of 381 genes obtained from microarray hybridizations and from TaqMan based RT-qPCR assays. Correlation of expression levels was determined by comparing: (i) single genes across samples, (ii) all … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2012 · 13,715 accessesView PDFCite
