There is no well-defined performance measure to evaluate the NPI policy, especially when the policy is defined in a 2-dimensional state space.
Benchmarking, work load characterization, performance metrics definition, and evaluation constitute a methodology by which the art engineers can build systems with well-defined performance requirements.
In a research conducted in [19] swarm optimization with Dijkstra algorithm is utilized to find the optimal path from initial to target state, in accordance with some well-defined performance criterion.
Two critical variables regarding the adoption of a particular innovation have been identified [5]: (i) the existence of well-defined performance criteria and (ii) the presence or absence of increasing returns of adoption.
In the surfboard scenario, the control is distributed between natural random forces that propel the board's translational and attitudinal motion, and the partial control the rider exerts to maintain stability, hold attitude relative to the waves for some not well-defined performance index and proceed with smooth transnational motion or achieve some acceptable mixture of all these objectives.
Here we presented a method to measure the optimal expression level of a vital operon, and to design environments with a well-defined performance mismatch, which is based on the decoupling between the sensed cue and the metabolized carbon source.
Future steps will include application of this structured evidence-based process to further divide each terminal objective into enabling objectives, a series of clear statements of component knowledge, skills and/or attitudes, each with easily measurable and well-defined performance characteristics.
Therefore, this study can provide designers with a well-defined target performance level (e.g., lateral displacement or bending stress) during the initial stage of the outrigger system design process and an economical design that minimizes cost.
In conclusion we have described for the first time the development of a robust SYBR Green real-time PCR for the detection of pathogenic Leptospira combined with a detailed assessment of its clinical accuracy, thus providing a method for the early diagnosis of leptospirosis with a well-defined satisfactory performance.
