What is also evident from the results is that the quality assurance systems of franchises have not achieved a balance of measuring structure, process and outcome that is reflective of the research evidence base on quality assurance measurement.
It traditionally published two overall balance-of-payments measures: the "Liquidity Balance" and the "Official Settlements Balance".
Since exchange rates began to float in the early 1970s, the major industrial countries have paid much less attention to overall balance-of-payments measures.

The QCM is a sensitive gravimetric balance capable of measuring and detecting changes in mass of thin oscillating adherent films, within the nanogram range [ 19– 22].
