Perceived Quality clusters different aspects that influence the customer’s perception of non-functional quality on a product that are perceive through senses. All together those aspects and the harmony between them reflect the producer’s ability to control product parameters and thereby also mirror the functional quality of the product. High Perceived Quality cannot be added to the product at the end of the developing process. Project prerequisites, system solution, factory capability etc. are criterion to succeed. Therefore, it is important to be able to evaluate Perceived Quality early in the process when product system solutions and architecture are defined, although data maturity is low. This paper presents a comprehensive framework to manage and support evaluation of Perceived Quality aspects in a product development process. The framework is based on an industrial process in combination with recent research within the field. The framework focuses on activities that can be performed at different stages in the developing process based on maturity of the CAD or styling data. For example, if the styling data is divided into different components by split-lines it has reached higher level of maturity then styling data that not has been divided. Consequently, the choice of applied method is based on data maturity, regardless phase in the developing process. The framework contains methods based on several different simulation and analysis techniques. Design methods, Computer-Aided Tolerancing and FEA based non-rigid variation simulation are represented in the framework.

ABSTRACT We have observed that a soluble recombinant green fluorescent protein produced in Escherichia coli occurs in a wide conformational spectrum. This results in differently fluorescent protein fractions in which morphologically diverse soluble aggregates abound. Therefore, the functional quality of soluble versions of aggregation-prone recombinant proteins is defined statistically rather than by the prevalence of a canonical native structure.

The effect of plant biostimulation on fruits of traditional tomato germplasm is largely unknown. We examined how a tropical plant-derived biostimulant impacts the nutritional, functional, and compositional characteristics of tomato fruits from four landraces, collected in the San Marzano (SM) tomato Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) region, by profiling primary and secondary metabolites. Biostimulation was not able to completely reshuffle the morpho-physiological and nutritional profile of the four landraces. Their distinct phytochemical profile indicated a genotype-specific tuning of the analyzed traits, which also included an improved yield and fruit quality. Biostimulation of SM1 and SM3 increased photosynthetic accumulation of carbohydrate reserves, improved mineral nutrient use efficiency and consequently, yield (+21% and 34%, respectively). Moreover, biostimulation augmented the nutraceutical properties of the SM2 landrace. Interestingly, the plant-derived product increased in all genotypes lycopene, but not polyphenol accumulation in fruits. Our results show the potential of biostimulatory applications towards optimizing the fruit quality of the acclaimed SM landraces, which is suitable to satisfy both the rising consumer demand for premium traditional tomatoes and the technological needs of the food industry.

Para Determinar

<p>El estado ecológico de un río es aquella medida de calidad en la estructura y funcionamiento del ecosistema acuático. Los procesos geomorfológicos determinan una gran variedad de hábitats, favoreciendo la biodiversidad y productividad de los ecosistemas acuáticos y ribereños. Los indicadores hidrogeomorfológicos son claves para determinar el estado ecológico de los ríos. La dinámica hidrológica garantiza la biodiversidad, la calidad ambiental y la protección de todos los elementos del sistema y sus relaciones. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer el estado ecológico de un tramo en la cuenca baja del arroyo San Bernardo, para lo cual se utilizó el Índice Hidrogeomorfológico (IHG). Los resultados mostraron que el tramo analizado presenta una calidad buena e indica que la calidad funcional del sistema, del cauce y de las riberas se encuentran dentro de los límites acepta bles, es decir, que las intervenciones antropogénicas no han impactado en la naturalidad del tramo.</p><p> </p><p>ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE SAN BERNARDO STREAM’S LOW BASIN, <em>SIERRA DE LA </em><em>VENTANA</em>, ARGENTINA</p><p><span><span><span><em><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></em><br /></span></span></span></p><p>The ecological status of a river is the measure of quality in the structure and functioning of the aquatic ecosystem. Geomorphological processes determine a variety of habitats, thus promoting biodiversity and productivity of aquatic and coastal ecosystems. The hydrogeomorphological in dicators are key to determining the ecological status of rivers. The hydrological dynamics ensures biodiversity, environmental quality and protection of all system elements and their relationships.<br /> The aim of this study was to determine the ecological status of a section in the lower San Bernar do stream watershed, for which the hydrogeomorphological index (IHG) was used. The results showed that the section used has good quality. This is important because it indicates that the functional quality of the system, the quality of the channel, and the bank is within the acceptable limits. This means that the anthropogenic interventions have not impacted the naturalness of the section.</p><p> </p>

Ovarian cancer treatments may negatively impact the physical and functional quality of life domains of patients. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) assess the health conditions of patients without interpretation by a clinician of the patient’s response. A broad spectrum of validated questionnaires investigating HR-QoL exist. However, none are considered as a gold standard of PRO measures. In clinical trials, PROs are a means of evaluating treatment benefit or risk in a way that complements the typical primary outcome of survival, and are necessary endpoints to support regulatory approval. In clinical practice, PROs are useful in monitoring the ability of patients to tolerate treatment and in identifying patients more at risk for subsequent health problems who would benefit from supportive care during and after treatment.

Functional Quality

In this chapter, we examine the differences between software maintenance and software development from a service point of view, and the consequences thereof for the maturity of software maintenance organizations. We argue that software maintenance can be seen as providing a service, whereas software development is primarily concerned with the development of products. Differences between products and services affect the way in which customers assess their respective quality. In particular, service quality is assessed in two dimensions: the technical quality — what the result of the service is — and the functional quality — how the service is delivered. Consequently, customers will judge the quality of software maintenance differently from that of software development. This in turn means that to deliver high quality results in software maintenance, both the functional quality and the technical quality dimension are important.

Qos Metrics

Semantic web service compositions must be aligned with requirements from the target users in terms of quality requirements. Given a set of quality requirements, one can choose to either find the optimal composition or a “good enough” composition, which satisfies these requirements. Since optimizing compositions of semantic services under quality constraints is known to be NP-hard, it is unsuitable for realistic problems within large search spaces. The authors address the issue by using the “good enough” approach, selecting the first composition that passes their quality threshold. Firstly, this paper defines quality constraints within an innovative and extensible model designed to balance semantic fit (or functional quality) with quality of service (QoS) metrics. The semantic fit criterion evaluates the quality of semantic links between the semantic descriptions of Web services parameters, while QoS focuses on non-functional criteria of services. User quality requirements are met by selecting a valid composition. To allow the use of this model with a large number of candidate services as foreseen by the strategic EC-funded project SOA4All the authors formulate the selection problem as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem and test the use of a stochastic search method.
