Wilson, Frances. "The quality maturity model : assessing organisational quality culture in academic libraries." Thesis, Brunel University, 2013. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/8747.

Abstract:

Academic libraries operate in a fluid environment, where they must provide, and demonstrate that they provide, a high quality service that is focussed on customers’ needs. It is broadly accepted that the way to provide a high quality service responsive to customers’ needs is to have a culture of quality that underpins all the organisation’s efforts, i.e. TQM. The literature on how to improve the service quality of libraries in particular, and organisations in general, is extensive and varied. But it is not informative to practitioners who wish to know what to do to improve the quality culture

Abstract:

University of Central Florida College of Engineering Thesis<br>The quality movement has become popular among corporations big and small for one reason: empirical evidence suggests that quality and productivity (and hence profitability) are linked. Unfortunately, while many firms accept that quality and productivity go together, few actually track the gains associated with their quality improvement programs. Companies also tend to spend on quality improvement with no indication of estimation of the impact of funding on the targeted process. It would be of great value to know: (1) the impact

Abstract:

As management fashions go, few have been more pervasive than Quality Management Systems (QMS) like Total Quality Management (TQM) and BS EN ISO 9000 (ISO 9000). Their prominence was fuelled by a mixture of ideological and economic considerations as, by the early to mid-1990s, many organisations were keen to indicate that they were active participants of the `quality revolution'. The exponential growth of interest in QMS was reflected in the library literature although only a small percentage of academic library and information services (LIS) subscribed to the systems.

Results were significant for all questions asked, suggesting that academic quality can be used as a predictor of students' intention to persist. Additionally, the study found that ad

This thesis considers the development of regulation in English higher education between 2010 and 2014. This short period is significant in higher education's recent history because in this time regulation of higher education became established in a more explicit and transparent way. In the absence of a legislative framework, the regulatory approach to English higher education was outlined by the work of the Regulating Partnerships Group, through the development of its Operating Framework.

An F-1 academic visa is required for foreign students studying at academic institutions in the United States. While requirements for acquiring the F-1 visa are a matter of federal policy, some of the principles regulating orientations, host families, and home-stays do not align with best practices found at the university level, which include quality student orientations and thorough trainings with a vetting process for host families and home-stays.

This dissertation is concerned with strategic decision processes in markets where products are both durable and differentiated in quality. Thus, a commodity is differentiated in a two dimensional space (a) its consumption time location, and (b) its quality characteristics. Consumers "self-select" a product among various differentiated products. There exists a one-to-one correspondence between a consumer group and a product with a certain quality in a certain period. A monopolist seller, a monopolist lessor, and a sequential entry duopoly seller market are studied in the framework of a two-peri

Abstract:

Thailand's higher education sector was officially founded with the establishment of Chulalongkorn University in 1917 and it has continued to grow ever since. However, the unprecedented increase in competition in higher education worldwide, which is primarily driven by globalisation and university league tables, makes it essential for Thailand's higher education institutions (HEIs) to improve their quality and competitiveness. Although a quality assurance (QA) system has been placed since 1999, the quality of Thai higher education (HE) remains problematic, particularly the quality of teaching.

Abstract:

Omi/HtrA2 is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial serine protease with dual and opposite functions that depend entirely on its subcellular localization. During apoptosis it is released to the cytoplasm where it participates in cell death. While confined in the mitochondria it has a pro-survival function that may involve the regulation of protein quality control (PQC) and mitochondrial homeostasis. We used the yeast two-hybrid system to dissect Omi/HtrA2's pathway by identifying novel interactors and substrates.

Abstract:

The application of Total Quality Management and Academic Accreditation has become the goal of most higher education institutions worldwide, including Saudi Arabian institutions. Total Quality Management and Academic Accreditation are now the organisation and evaluative principles of these universities. The argument of this research is that the cultural, social, organisational and technological aspects of universities in Saudi Arabia as well as their rules and policies have the potential to impact, or have already impacted, on the formulation, development and implementation of these principles.

As the number of conferences increases and attendees have so many conferences to choose from, understanding how they evaluate the conference experience is more important than ever. Previous studies have focused on site selection factors, destination perception and image, economic impact, and meeting planner issues, not on the conference experience itself.

Abstract:

Land use affects the water quality of lakes. Different land use types yield different effects due to varying amounts and constituents of runoff. In this study, the effects of surrounding land use on the water quality of 50 lakes in Seminole County, Florida was assessed. Using GIS, I placed buffers of 100 and 500 m around each lake. The percentages of land use type were calculated within these buffers for 1990 and 1995. An ordination of lakes was done using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to determine if the surrounding land use patterns were adequate to describe the trophic status of t

Abstract:

This thesis documents the relationship among the major water quality parametersduring a nitrification episode. Nitrification unexpectedly occurred in a chloraminated pilotdrinking water distribution system practicing with a 4.0 mg/L as Cl[subscript 2] residual dosed at 4.5:1Cl[subscript 2]:NH[subscript 3]-N. Surface, ground and sea water were treated and disinfected withmonochloramines to produce finished water quality similar to regional utility water quality.PVC, galvanized, unlined cast iron and lined iron pipes were harvested from regionaldistribution systems and used to build eighteen pil

Abstract:

This research began, amid the growing and global quality movement in Higher Education, with questions about the comparability of academic standards in different institutions. It seemed reasonable to wonder whether all institutions, many of which were new universities, could offer educational programs which would result in graduates of the same standard throughout the system. The issue has to do with the quality assurance mechanisms of universities. However, assuring (and ensuring) the quality of the academic product requires a meaningful definition of what the term"academic standard" means an
