Abstract:
High-tech companies operating in the field of blockchain technology use the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to raise start-up capital. It is a fairly new, non-standardized and poorly regulated way of collecting start-up funding that can bring high yields to investors in the short term, but investors also have to be ready to take on high risks. The purpose of this article is to define a decision model for the evaluation of ICO projects, which provides a systematic, transparent, methodological approach to making decisions on investing in them. For that purpose, the authors analyzed a number of factors, which directly or indirectly influence the successful implementation of ICO projects, and the researchers extracted the most important among them (model parameters). In order to build the decision model, used a qualitative method for the hierarchical multi-parameter evaluation of DEX, which using symbolic parameters and combining functions in the form of if-then rules ensures the most freely and flexible combining assessment parameters into a uniform model. In the article, the use of proposed decision model was tested in practice on multiple ICO processes. The article details the decision-making process in the case of CargoX, and also summarizes the results of the evaluation of ICOs Tokens.net, BitClave, Neuromation and WePower.

  Abstract : The entrance exam score results of students at one university in Central Mindanao, Philippines based from the OSAT – A Test revealed that most of the students belong to the dull normal to average IQ category. In this study, through countenance stake evaluation model by Robert Stake, the General Mathematics Couse at Senior High School was evaluated checking if the goals are being met through (1) identifying the suitability of learning planning and (2) the learning process, (3) the appropriateness of learning assessments, and (4) the student learning outcomes which involves the antecedents (context), transactions (process), and outcomes (output). The data gathered were the admission test results of the students, the curriculum map from the Department of Education, the curriculum map from the school, the learning plans which includes the lessons and projects, and the formative and summative assessments from the teachers teaching General Mathematics which was content validated by five Mathematics experts and was computed through Aiken’s Validity Index. The evaluation showed that the antecedent component is somehow evident as evidenced by the lesson plans for the first quarter. The transaction component, was somehow efficient as evidenced by the Teacher’s Efficiency Scale results. Finally, the outcome component showed that most of the students are still in the average level noting also that as majority of the students before belong to the lower half of the classification (dull normal to below average), now, majority of the students are in the higher half of the classification (above average to genius).

Abstract:
Simple first is our name for a set of hypotheses that we have found useful in our research on evaluative learning. The hypotheses are: (1) It is easier to encode and retrieve information that two concepts are linked than information about how they are linked; (2) It is easier to store and retrieve information than to make an inference based on that information; (3) When people encounter an object and memory activates valence that is mentally linked to that object, they consider the activation valid evidence that the activated valence characterizes the object. We demonstrate how these hypotheses generate useful assumptions about Evaluative Conditioning, and open paths for further research on evaluative learning and evaluation.

Abstract:
Active engagement of youth participants in the evaluation process is an increasingly sought out method, but the field can still benefit from new methods that ease youth participatory evaluation implementation. Meaningful youth engagement in the evaluation process is particularly advantageous under the 4-H thriving model because of its potential to contribute to positive youth development, foster relationship building, enhance evaluation capacity, and improve program quality through improved evaluations. This program sought to facilitate actively engaging youth in the evaluation process by breaking it up into clear and manageable steps including evaluation design, data collection, data interpretation and analysis, reporting results, and outlining programmatic change. To achieve this aim, program staff designed the Evaluation Skill-a-Thon, a set of self-paced, experiential evaluation activities at various stations through which youth participants rotate. Actively involving youth participants in the evaluation process using the Skill-a-Thon model resulted in youth being able to identify and design programmatic changes, increased participation and response rates in other evaluations, and several youth participants’ gaining an interest in evaluation and working to design evaluations in later years. The Evaluation Skill-a-Thon holds promise for actively engaging youth participants in the entire evaluation process, easy implementation, and increasing evaluation capacity.

Abstract:
Volume 14 of publication series EINGEBETTETE, SELBSTORGANISIERENDE SYSTEME is devoted to the structure oriented evaluation of e-learning. For future knowledge society, beside creation of intelligent technologies, adapted methods of knowledge transfer are required. In this context e-learning becomes a key technology for development of any education system. E-learning is a complex process into which many different groups with specific tasks and roles are included. The dynamics of an e-learning process requires adjusted quality management. For that corresponding evaluation methods are needed. In the present work, Dr.Tudevdagva develops a new evaluation approach for e-learning. The advantage of her method is that in contrast to linear evaluation methods no weight factors are needed and the logical goal structure of an elearning process can be involved into evaluation. Based on general measure theory structure oriented score calculation rules are derived. The so obtained score function satisfies the same calculation rules as they are known from normalised measures. In statistical generalisation, these rules allow the structure oriented calculation of empirical evaluation scores based on checklist data. By these scores the quality can be described by which an e-learning has reached its total goal. Moreover, a consistent evaluation of embedded partial processes of an e-learning becomes possibly. The presented score calculation rules are part of a eight step evaluation model which is illustrated by pilot samples. U. Tudevdagva’s structure oriented evaluation model (SURE model) is by its embedding into the general measure theory quite universal applicable. In similar manner, an evaluation of efficiency of administration or organisation processes becomes possible.

<p>Testing is a critical activity in the software development process in order to obtain systems of high quality. Tieto typically develops complex systems, which are currently tested through a large number of manually designed test cases.

The feasibility study included the use and evaluation of the model-based testing tool Qtronic, developed by Conformiq, which automatically designs test cases given a model of the system under test as input. The experiments for the feasibility study were based on the incremental development of a test object, which was the client protocol module of a simplified model for an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) client-server system. The experiments were evaluated both individually and by comparison with the previous experiment since they were based on incremental development. For each experiment the different tasks in the process of testing using Qtronic were analyzed to document the experience gained as well as to identify strengths and weaknesses.</p><p>The project has shown the promise inherent in using a model-based testing approach. The application of model-based testing and the project results indicate that the approach should be further evaluated since experience will be crucial if the approach is to be adopted within Tieto’s organization.</p>

Abstract:
The prediction of protein secondary and tertiary structure is becoming increasingly important as the number of sequences available to the biological community far exceeds the number of unique native structures. The following chapters describe the conception, construction, evaluation and application of a series of algorithms for the prediction and evaluation of two and three-dimensional protein structure. In chapter 1 a brief overview of protein structure and the resources required to predict protein features is given. Chapter 2 describes the investigation of sequence identity and alignments on the prediction of two-dimensional protein structure in the form of long and short range protein contacts a feature which is known to correlate with solvent accessibility. It also describes the identification of a feature which is referred to as the 'Empty Quarter' which forms the basis of an evaluation function described in Chapter 3 and developed in Chapter 4. Chapter 3 introduces the Dynamic Domain Threading method used during round six of the CASP exercise. Phobic, a protein evaluation function based on predicted solvent accessibility is described in Chapter 4. The de novo prediction of a/p proteins is described in Chapter 5, the method introduces a new approach to the old problem of combinatorial modelling and breaks the size limit previously imposed on de novo prediction. The final experimental chapter describes the prediction of solvent accessibility and secondary structure using a novel combination of the fuzzy k-nearest neighbour and support vector machine. Chapter 7 closes this piece of work with a review of the field and suggests potential improvements to the way work is conducted.

Full text
Abstract:
Knocking is a type of abnormal combustion which depends on several physical factors and results in high frequency pressure oscillations inside the combustion chamber of a spark-ignited internal combustion engine (ICE). These oscillations can damage the engine and hamper its efficiency, which is why it is important for automakers to understand the knocking behavior so that it can be avoided during engine operation. Due to the catastrophic outcomes of knocking a lot of research has been done in the past on prediction of its occurrence. There can be several causes of knocking but when it occurs due to auto-ignition of fuel in the end-gas it’s called spark-knock. There are various mathematical models that predict the phenomenon of spark-knock. In this thesis, several of the previously published knock prediction models for heavy-duty natural-gas engine are studied and analyzed. The main objective of this project is to assess the accuracy of different types of knock prediction models.Amongst all the types of knock prediction models emphasize has been given to empirical correlation models, particularly to the ones which are based on chemical kinetics pertaining to the combustion process of methane. These are the models that claim to predict ignition delay time based on concentration of air and fuel in the unburned zone of the cylinder. The models are assessed based on the knocking behavior they represent across the engine operation range. Results pertaining to the knock prediction models are evaluated in a 1D engine simulation model using AVL BOOST. The BOOST performance prediction model is calibrated against experimentally measured engine test-cell data and the same data is used to assess the knock prediction models.The knock prediction model whose results correlate with experimental observations is analyzed further while other models are discarded. Using the validated model, variation in knock occurrence is evaluated with change in the combustion phasing. Two of the parameter that are used to define the combustion phasing are spark-advance and combustion duration. It was found that when the brake mean effective pressure is kept constant the knock prediction parameter increases linearly with increase in spark advance and decreases linearly with increase in combustion duration. The variation of knock prediction parameter with spark advance showed increasing gradient with increase in engine torque.<br>Knack i en förbränningsmotor är en typ av onormal förbränning. Det är ett komplicerat fenomen som beror på flera fysiska faktorer och resulterar i högfrekventa tryckoscillationer inuti förbränningskammaren. Dessa oscillationer kan skada motorn och fenomenet hämmar motorns effektivitet. Knack kan uppstå på två sätt i en Otto-motor och detta examensarbete kommer att handla om självantändning. Självantändning, i detta fall, är när ändgasen börjar brinna utan att ha blivit påverkad av flamfronten eller gnistan från tändstiftet. Det finns flera olika matematiska modeller som i olika grader kan prediktera knackfenomenet. I detta examensarbete studeras några av de tidigare publicerade prediktionsmodellerna för knack i Otto-förbränning och modelleras för analys. Huvudsyftet med detta projekt är således att bedöma noggrannheten hos olika typer av knackmodeller. Extra fokus har lagts på empiriska korrelationsmodeller, särskilt till de som är baserade på kemisk kinetik avseende förbränningsprocessen av metan. Dessa modeller förutsäger den tid det tar för ändgasen att självantända, baserat på dess koncentration av luft och bränsle. Knackmodellerna bedöms sedan utifrån det beteende som de förutsäger över motorns driftområde och dess överensstämmelse med kända motorkalibreringsstrategier. Resultatet av knackpredikteringen för de olika knackmodellerna utvärderas och valideras i en motorsimuleringsmodell i mjukvaran AVL BOOST. BOOST-modellen kalibreras mot experimentellt uppmätta motortestdata. Baserat på resultaten från de valda knockmodellerna så blev den modell som bäst korrelerar med kända motorkalibreringsstrategier analyserad djupare. Den utvalda modellen var en ECM modell och den utvärderas ytterligare med avseende på variation i predikterad knack-parameter. Detta görs genom att modifiera två förbränningsparametrar: tändvinkel och förbränningsduration. Det visade sig att modellerna predikterade en linjär ökning då tändningen tidigareläggs och ett linjärt minskande vid längre förbränningsduration, vilket är i enlighet med motortestdata. Vidare visade det sig att variationer i tändvinkel resulterade i en högre gradient i knackpredikteringen vid högre motorbelastningar och korresponderande minskning vid lägre belastning.

Abstract:
The system dynamics methodology is used to develop a computer simulation model to determine whether to add lanes to a congested highway or build a new, more direct, facility. Fundamental to this evaluation is the incorporation of non-user measures of effectiveness to go with the traditional highway user measures of effectiveness, such as the Benefit-Cost Ratio. In the system dynamics methodology three alternative forms of the model of a system are used: verbal, visual, and mathematical. The verbal description is diagrammatic and shows cause-and-effect relationships between many variables in a simple, concise manner. The visual model or "causal diagram" is translated into a mathematical model and system equations. The model is comprised of four sectors: 1. population sector 2. economic sector 3. university sector 4. transportation sector The model applies to the area of Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Roanoke (city and county). with special treatment to Virginia Tech through the university model. The simulation results of the non-user benefits along with user benefits is used to evaluate the alternatives in the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Roanoke corridor.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
Transaction logging is an integral part of ensuring proper transformation of data from one state to another in modern data management. Because of this, the throughput of the logging subsystem can be critical to the throughput of an application. The purpose of this research is to break the log bottleneck at minimum cost. We first present a model for evaluating a logging subsystem, where a logging subsystem is made up of a log device, a log backup device, and the interconnect algorithm between the two, which we term the log backup method. Included in the logging model is a set of criteria for evaluating a logging subsystem and a system for weighting the criteria in order to facilitate comparisons of two logging subsystem configurations to determine the better of the two. We then present an evaluation of each of the pieces of the logging subsystem in order to increase the bandwidth of both the log device and log backup device, while selecting the best log backup method, at minimum cost. We show that the use of striping and RAID is the best alternative for increasing log device bandwidth. Along with our discussion of RAID, we introduce a new RAID algorithm that is designed to overcome the performance problems of small writes in a RAID log. In order to increase the effective bandwidth of the log backup device, we suggest the use of inexpensive magnetic tape drives and striping in the log backup device, where the bandwidth of the log backup device is increased to the point that it matches the bandwidth of the log device. For the log backup interconnect algorithm, we present the novel approach of backing up the log synchronously, where the log backup device is essentially a mirror of the log device, as well as evaluating other log backup interconnect algorithms. Finally, we present a discussion of a prototype implementation of some of the ideas in the thesis. The prototype was implemented in a commercial database system, using a beta version of INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server™ version 6.0.

Abstract:
Truck transportation is considered as a favourable mode by shippers to carry freight at most ranges of distance as it has more flexibility in fleet size, capacity, scheduling, routing, and access. Although truck is considered as the popular mode for freight transportation, road-rail intermodal freight transportation becomes an attractive alternative to road only mode since the latter has no longer assured a reliable service due to traffic congestion problem. It also raises public concern in environmental and road safety impacts. Intermodal freight transportation is defined as a system that carries freight from origin to destination using two or more transportation modes where transfers between modes occur at an intermodal freight terminal. Success of the terminal depends on four major factors, namely: location, efficiency, financial sustainability, and rail level of service. Among these, the location is one of the most crucial success factors and needs to be considered carefully as it has direct and indirect impacts on a number of stakeholders including terminal users, terminal operators, transport network infrastructure providers, and community. Limitations of previous terminal location evaluation models in representing individual preference and behaviour as well as accommodating negotiation and communication between the players bring in an opportunity to develop a new model which is more flexible and capable of providing a solution that is not necessary to be optimal, but acceptable for every player without requiring explicit trade-offs. This thesis is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of applying an agent-based approach to the evaluation of intermodal freight terminal location and investigating terminal effectiveness against stakeholder equity and some important aspects arising from the different stakeholders’ viewpoints. Agent technologies were introduced to model the stakeholders as individual agents. The agent concept was adopted to develop a decentralised location evaluation system that is able to balance the terminal effectiveness with the stakeholder equity. The proposed agent-based location evaluation model was modelled as a hierarchical control system that comprises three decision levels: local level, stakeholder level and policy level. Policy level is the highest decision level, which is represented by a policy maker. Apart from the policy level, the rest can be viewed as operational decision levels. Local level is the lowest control level. At this level, each stakeholder was classified into stakeholder groups based on their characteristics and interest. The terminal scenarios were then evaluated based on benefit maximisation criteria. Stakeholder control is the higher control level than the local level. It represents the control level where negotiations and decisions between groups of people (stakeholders) with different point of views are made. At this level, negotiation process was used to determine terminal location based on preference and equity of stakeholders. The determined terminal site was then used in the evaluation against constraints to ensure that all agents are satisfied. The terminal location decision for South East Queensland (SEQ) was applied as a case study of this thesis. The SEQ strategic freight transport model was developed, calibrated, and validated to assist in providing inputs for the evaluation of terminal location. The results indicated that for the developed agent-based location evaluation model, Yatala was selected as the most appropriate terminal location that results in the highest effectiveness and equity (as measured by level of satisfaction and Gini coefficient, respectively). Other location evaluation models were also used in comparison with the developed agent-based location evaluation model. Those include P-Median, P-Centre, and maximum covering models. It was found that the agent-based location evaluation model outperformed the other location evaluation models. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted in order to evaluate the consistency of model outputs against the uncertainties in the input parameters. In most cases, the terminal location decisions obtained from the developed agent-based location evaluation model was not sensitive to the changes in those parameters. However, the results suggested that when a unit cost of truck travel delay increased, the impact on the final terminal location decisions was observed. This thesis demonstrated the feasibility of applying a decentralised approach to terminal location decision problem using a multi-agent concept and evaluating it against other well-known location problems. A new framework and methodology for the planning of intermodal terminal location evaluation was also formulated. Finally, the problems of terminal location evaluation and optimisation of intermodal freight terminal operation were integrated into a single evaluation model.

Abstract:
The cornerstone of an effective evaluation is an intimate understanding of the program under consideration. Hence, logic models can be very useful in evaluation planning since they provide the evaluator with a visual depiction of how the program is supposed to work. Logic models can help evaluators better match the evaluation to the program by helping them focus on critical components of the program. As an advance organizer, the logic model aids the evaluator to focus on the important elements of the program and to identify what evaluation questions should be asked and why, as well as what measures of performance are key. If a particular result is included in the logic model, then it generally should be included in the evaluation as a factor to track and measure. The logic model can help the evaluator prioritize where to spend the limited resources allocated to the evaluation. It helps the evaluator focus more specifically on what information stakeholders really need to know about the program. If a logic model does not exist when the evaluator is hired, it will be extremely useful if the evaluator, in collaboration with various stakeholders, works to create one.

Abstract:
Ecological models are used throughout the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to inform decisions related to ecosystem restoration, water operations, environmental impact assessment, environmental mitigation, and other topics. Ecological models are typically developed in phases of conceptualization, quantification, evaluation, application, and communication. Evaluation is a process for assessing the technical quality, reliability, and ecological basis of a model and includes techniques such as calibration, verification, validation, and review. In this technical note (TN), we describe an approach for evaluating system quality, which generally includes the computational integrity, numerical accuracy, and programming of a model or modeling system. Methods are presented for avoiding computational errors during development, detecting errors through model testing, and updating models based on review and use. A formal structure is proposed for model test plans and subsequently demonstrated for a hypothetical habitat suitability model. Overall, this TN provides ecological modeling practitioners with a rapid guide for evaluating system quality.
