Novel Approach

AbstractThe quantitative evaluation of research is currently carried out by means of indicators calculated on data extracted and integrated by analysts who elaborate them by creating illustrative tables and plots of results. In this approach, the robustness of the metrics used and the possibility for users of the metrics to intervene in the evaluation process are completely neglected. We propose a new approach which is able to move forward, from indicators’ development to an interactive performance model’s development. It combines the advantages of the ontology-based data access paradigm with the flexibility and robustness of a visual analytics environment putting the consumer/stakeholder at the centre of the evaluation. A detailed description of such an approach is presented in the paper. The approach is illustrated and evaluated trough a comprehensive user’s study that proves the added capabilities and the benefits that a user of performance models can have by using this approach.

Geometric Deviations

During the bending of tubes, specific geometric deviations from the desired shape geometry occur. These deformations comprise cross-sectional deformation, wall-thinning of the outer arc and wall-thickening of the inner arc. During the bending of parts with small bend factors, geometric deviations on the inner arc in form of waves and wrinkles may arise as other typical quality criteria. A quantitative evaluation of those deviations has yet to be defined. Currently, only an instruction for measuring the height of the wrinkles at the inner arc according to DIN EN 13480-4 is known. In this standard, only the two highest wrinkles and the valley in between are included. The characteristics of the wrinkle, especially the flank angle and the rise of deformation are disregarded, although they are responsible for the failure of the bent part. Tool damages can also occur. A development of an evaluation factor to assess deformations in the bow area for bent parts is presented in this paper. In addition, it will be possible to quantify geometric deviations in the bow area. By using the newly developed evaluation factor for geometrical deformations in the bow area, the determination of the quality of the bent part should become more reproducible.

Testing Design

Wechsler's intelligence test-batteries are still popular yet suffer from psychometric shortcomings and lack a certain content improvement and enlargement. In this paper a new approach will be presented that suits traditional Wechsler-testing. The approach in question is the Adaptive Intelligence Diagnosticum (AID 2; Kubinger & Wurst, 2000). Due to it's “branched testing” design, AID 2 works out to be more economical and in this regard also offers other advantages, such as parallel tests and short forms. AID 2 offers a method of survey for identifying specific developmental disorders or learning disabilities. It includes an optional non-verbal instruction and a schedule for retrograde observation support of behavioral misfits. It also offers discriminative indicators for intellectual neglect vs. intellectual advancement.
