The Joint Commission [ 1], which is responsible for accreditation of more than 15,000 health care organizations in the United States, defines benchmarking as: "Continuous measurement of a process, product, or service compared to those of the toughest competitor, to those considered industry leaders, or to similar activities in the organization in order to find and implement ways to improve it".
Although there might be hundreds or even thousands of measurements in a process, there are generally few events occurring.
The simulations are validated based on wind-tunnel measurements of an evaporative cooling process and satellite imagery data during the heat wave period.
An approach is proposed to joint activation of stationary sensor nodes and design of mobile sensor trajectories in a hybrid sensor network collecting measurements for parameter estimation of a process described by a partial differential equation.
Measurement becomes a process of convergence towards a preferred measure which anchors the measurement.
"We can now make a few measurements of a child's hand, process them through our custom design tool that generates 37 CAD models in a few minutes, and then have printed parts ready the next day".
A measurement is a process of experimentally obtaining one or more values that can reasonably be attributed to a quantity.
In the simplest cases and when the mentioning of duration between pre- and post- measurements contributes to a better understanding of a process, the change in IR can be easily adjusted.
Even though temperature is a continuous quantitative variable, its measurement has been considered a snapshot of a process, indicating whether a patient is febrile or afebrile.
From the equilibrium (after the curing process) rheological measurements of a series of samples, it is inferred that there is a critical crosslinker mole percent (Xc) with respect to the monomer concentration, required to form a well-defined three-dimensional network with a solid-like behavior.
