The fundamental reason for performance differences is that test takers from key and non-key universities actually belong to different language proficiency groups.
While individual performance measure, or "gap", analysis has often provided the fundamental basis for performance evaluation and benchmarking (Zhu [2003]), it remains a difficult task to satisfactorily combine multiple disparate, unit-incompatible, single-criteria measurements into an overall conclusion (Camp [1995]).
Bioelectronic devices, such as biosensors, can be constructed with enzymes immobilized in ultrathin solid films, for which preserving the enzymatic catalytic activity is fundamental for optimal performance.
Since in clay materials diffusion is the main radionuclide transport mechanism, the determination of diffusion coefficients under conditions as realistic as possible is fundamental for the performance assessment of deep geological repositories.
Perceived usefulness and ease of use of ICT are the principal determinants of the TAM (Davis 1989), the importance of efficiency of HR management is fundamental for organizational performance, thus the quest for technology which is easy to use becomes necessary.
Aggregation of particles is fundamental for improving the performance of many solid/liquid processes.
In the case of mega-structures such as tall buildings and long-span bridges, the mitigation of the intensity of the wind excitation through aerodynamic tailoring of the external shape can be fundamental for meeting the performance goals.
Faculty Advisor: Prof Munther Dahleh and Dr. Mardavij Roozbehani Mentor(s): Contact e-mail: [email protected] Research Area(s): Control, Energy, Signals and Systems, Theoretical Computer Science Understanding how smart appliances or electric vehicles respond to price signals is fundamental for stability and performance of future smart grids.
