Research Budget

GE is pioneering the development of market-based methods for allocating research budget to internal projects. To be effective, a market for ideas must provide appropriate incentives for the creation of valuable ideas and it must result in sufficiently accurate evaluation of ideas. The main tenet behind GE’s Idea Market is that improvements in the evaluation of research ideas should foster incentives for idea creation. Indeed, idea creation and idea evaluation are complementary activities. For an idea to be successful, it is not enough that the idea be good. It also helps if the idea is recognized as good by those who evaluate it. As the evaluation process becomes more accurate, good ideas are more likely to be funded. Thus, incentives for the creation of ideas are enhanced when ideas are evaluated more accurately.

The erosion resistance evaluation of coating has important academic significance as well as project application value. Being the traditional way, the direct comparison method requires large amount of trivial work. By taking different coatings as clustering objects and data obtained from coating in erosion experiments as clustering index, this paper, on the other hand, defines the whitenization weight function of the index with grey clustering method, and has in this way built the grey clustering mathematical model of coating erosion resistance evaluation. As is proved in practice that the model makes it possible to evaluate the erosion resistance of coating scientifically, making the evaluation more reasonable and objective. At the same time, due to the accurate evaluation results, it avoids the subjectivity and one-sidedness otherwise being unavoidable for judging by experience. The coating erosion resistance experiments do not have strict demands for data volume, which makes the evaluation process both simple and scientific.

Objective: To describe the history, origin, objectives, characteristics, implications, the questions of the evaluation form and some examples of the Professional Masters (MP), to differentiate the Academic Master, and identify the challenges for the next quadrennial assessment. Methods: The CAPES site on Professional Masters and documents and meeting area of reports from 2004 to 2013 of Medicine III were read as well as the reports and the sub-page of the area in Capes site. The data relating to the evaluation process and the Scoreboard of the other areas were computed and analyzed. From these data it was detected the challenges of Medicine III for the next four years (2013-2016). Results: The creation of the Professional Master is very recent in Medicine III and no Professional Master of Medicine III course was evaluated yet. Were described the objectives, assumptions, characteristics, motivations, the possibilities, the feasibility, the profile of the students, the faculty, the curriculum, funding, intellectual production, social inclusion, the general requirements of Ordinance No. 193/2011 CAPES and some examples of proposals, technological lines of scientific activities, partnerships and counterparties. The evaluation form of the MP was discussed, the need for social, economic and political intellectual production and the differences with the MA. It was also reported the global importance of the MP and its evolution in Brazil. From the understanding of the MP, Medicine III outlined some challenges and goals to be developed in the 2013-2016 quadrennium. Conclusion: Medicine III understood the MP as a new technological scientific horizon within the strict sensu post-graduate and full consistency with the area.

The Creation

Introduction: The current collective preparation program for obesity surgery is performed by an interdisciplinary team over four non-consecutive days. In order to optimize the delays of the program and to improve the educational offer a temporal condensation of this service in the proximity of the intervention was decided. The objective of this study is to describe the creation process of the new obesity surgery preparation program based on the needs of partner patients. Materials and methods: We conducted semi-structured focus groups with 50 patients over 3 successive stages of the surgical journey: at the beginning and end of the collective preparation and then 2 to 14 months after the surgery. The analysis crosses by theme the needs identified. Results and discussion: Our study allowed to authenticate a central need of sharing with witnesses, a need for information (medical, dietary, behavioral), and a need for longer-term projection (transformations, investment axes to support weight loss). Conclusion: The preparatory needs identified by the partner patients served as a guide for the transformation of the existing program. This experiment paves the way for a partnership with patients established and recognized by the institution of care in the evaluation process of this program.

The gray analytic hierarchy process (GAHP) can be used to find the reasonable substitute of the expensive or much needed composite materials in the market, thus avoiding the subjectivism and one-sidedness of choosing the substitute materials by experience. This paper introduces the basic principle and analysis steps of GAHP and the application cases in the substitute selection of composite materials. As is proved in practice that the evaluation process is reasonable and objective. At the same time, due to the accurate evaluation results, it avoids the subjectivity and one-sidedness otherwise being unavoidable for judging by experience.Its an effective method to solve the substitute of composite materials with GAHP. The evaluation results can accurately reflect the performance of the substitute.

Address System

The quality of the decision support system (DSS) is influenced by the process of creating this system. An important part of the DSS creation process is occupied by events that discuss issues related to the definition of system requirements. Both representatives of the customer and representatives of the executor take part in these actions. The difference between the participants creates uncertainty. It is important to understand the weaknesses in measures to address system requirements in the early iterations of system development. This will allow appropriate measures to be taken to improve the quality of measures to address system requirements. This paper proposes the use of Bayesian methods to evaluate the development of requirements for the creation of a decision support system. A model is proposed in which the participants of the events evaluate the measures in terms of addressing all issues and uncertainties. After the implementation of the requirements discussed at the events, the results of testing are evaluated for these activities. The analysis of the assessments provided by the participants of the activities and evaluations, based on the test results, provides an opportunity to draw appropriate conclusions and take appropriate measures. During the evaluation process, type I errors occur — the activities were evaluated by the participants on «3», which meant that not all issues were resolved and problems exist, and as a result no errors were made in implementing the precedents worked on at these events. Type II error — the measures were evaluated by the participants on «5», which meant that all issues were resolved and there were no unresolved issues, and as a result errors were obtained in the implementation of precedents, which were worked out at these events. The article processes the initial data. The historical representation is determined: P(T|D) = P(D,T)/P(D). The posterior representation is determined: P(D|T) = P(D,T)/P(T). Using this mathematical model, we can assess the quality of processing the requirements for the creation of DSS. In the case of obtaining low values of P(D1|T1), P(D2|T2), P(D3|T3) it can be concluded that the measures to process the requirements are not carried out at the appropriate level and may need to be carried out differently. In the case of obtaining low values of P(D3|T1), P(D1|T3) it can be concluded that the measures to process the requirements are carried out at the appropriate level and the probability of errors of I and II kind is quite low. Based on the results of the work on the creation of the first and second stages of DSS, it is possible to draw conclusions and make organizational decisions, and as a result, other stages of the creation of DSS will be better than the first and second stages. More and more activities are moving to the electronic form, the implementation of the function of estimating the processing of the requirement is becoming easier, so research in this area has prospects.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

A comprehensive augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluation is critical to providing a viable means of expressive communication for nonverbal people with complex communication needs. Although a number of diagnostic tools are available to assist AAC practitioners with the assessment process, there is a need to tailor the evaluation process to the specific communication needs of the AAC user. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basis for developing an effective and clinically driven framework for approaching a user-tailored AAC evaluation process.

Vocal Fold Nodules

Abstract Many children with dysphonia present with benign vocal fold lesions, including bilateral vocal fold nodules, cysts, vocal fold varices, and scarring. Evaluation and treatment of these children are best undertaken in a thoughtful and coordinated manner involving both the speech-language pathologist and the otolaryngologist. The goals of this article are (a) to describe the team evaluation process based on a “whole system” approach; (b) to discuss etiological factors and diagnosis; and (c) to review current medical, behavioral, and surgical treatments for children with different types of dysphonia.
