In the past 20 years, seismic isolation has see a variety of applications in design of structures to mitigate seismic hazard. In particular, isolation has been seen as a means of achieving enhanced seismic performance objectives, such as those for hospitals, critical emergency response facilities, mass electronic data storage centers, and similar buildings whose functionality following a major seismic event is either critical to the public welfare or the financial solvency of an organization. While achieving these enhanced performance objectives is a natural (and oftentimes requisite) application of seismic isolation, little attention has been given to the extension of current design practice to isolated buildings which may have more conventional performance objectives. The development of a rational design methodology for isolated buildings requires thorough investigation of the behavior of isolated structures subjected to seismic input of various recurrence intervals, and which are designed to remain elastic only under frequent events. This paper summarizes these investigations, and proposed a consistent probabilistic framework within which any combination of performance objectives may be met. Analytical simulations are presented, the results are summarized. The intent of this work is to allow a building owner to make informed decisions regarding tradeoffs between superstructure performance (drifts, accelerations) and isolation system performance. Within this framework, it is possible to realize the benefits of designing isolated buildings for which the design criteria allows consideration of multiple performance goals.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Framework for Performance Assessment in Science Education(FPASE). Science educators in the past have paid more attention to science curriculum and teaching strategies than assessment. In recent years, attention has turned toward performance assessment which addresses the concerns of science curriculum and instruction, and which is consistent with goals of science education at various levels of interests. Science educators are trying to do performance assessment, yet they don't have a framework that is highly qualified in terms of science educational objectives for the future, and advantages of performance assessment. We, therefore, have developed a framework for performance assessment in science education, which may be useful for science teachers to understand and assess their students' abilities. We have extracted seven domains covering students' various abilities as the important objectives of science performance assessment and grouped them into three categories: General, Science specific, and Intermediate abilities. And we developed a F-PASE with a three dimensional solid figured structure, and illustrated it as the configuration of a com. F-PASE is useful for science teachers to develop and select a science performance assessment as well as have a more advanced understanding of their students' abilities. It is a creative and novel assessment framework in terms of structure, configuration, functions and meanings. It also suggests a new vision of an assessment framework in science education.

SCM is one of the important key issues in Internet-based business environment. This study intends to suggest a research model to measure the influence of environmental, organizational, information technology factors on organizational performance using the four perspectives of balanced scorecard (BSC). 9 independent variables and 4 dependent variables were adopted from existing literature review. 103 companies data were collected by survey. Four hypotheses in this study were generated to analyze the positive relationship of environmental, organizational, information systems on organizational performance with 4 perspectives of BSC. The results of hypothesis testing show as follows. First, organizational performance of learning and growth perspective has a positive influence of IS maturity, process innovation, top management support, use of SCM package, IS interoperability, and objectives sharing. Second organizational performance of infernal process perspective has a positive influence of process innovation, IS interoperability, objectives sharing, top management support, use of SCM package, competitiveness, and IS maturity. Third, organizational performance of customer perspective has a positive influence of IS interoperability, objectives sharing, process innovation, IS maturity, competitiveness, and use of SCM package. Finally, organizational performance of financial perspective has a positive influence of process in innovation, use of SCM package, IS maturity, objectives sharing, IS interoperability, and top management support. The contribution of this study is that it provides a conceptual framework and empirical evidences of the causal relationship between environmental, organizational, IS factor and organizational performance with 4 perspectives of BSC.

The purpose of this study is to examine the introduction and its application of objectives management system in practical case, This study attempts to describe, (1) the relationships between the objectives management and budget management (2) analyzed the introduced organization and applicable system for the performance of objectives. Concepts of objectives, as this study is adjusted as follows; i) Objectives must be operational. They must be capable of being converted into specific targets and specific assignments. Therefore, objectives are the basis for work and assignments; they determine the structure of the business, the key activities which must be discharged, and, above all, the allocation of people to tasks. ii) Setting objectives for investment requires also objectives for the structure, basic policies, jobs, and directions of the business itself. They are not selling objectives; They are genuine marketing objectives, and as such have to be built into the way the business itself is set up, directed, structured, and run.

This paper proposes a systematic design methodology for the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) model based fuzzy state feedback control system with multi-objectives. In this investigation, the objectives are set to be guaranteed stability and pre-specified transient performance, and this scheme is applied to a nonlinear magnetic bearing system. More significantly, in the proposed methodology, the control design problems that consider both stability and desired transient performance are reduced to the standard LMI problems. Therefore, solving these LMI constraints directly (not trial and error) lead to a fuzzy state-feedback controller such that the resulting fuzzy control system meets the above two objectives. Simulation and experimentation results show that the Proposed LMI-based design methodology yields not only maximized stability boundary but also the desired transient responses.

This study empirically investigated the changes of performance evaluation systems under the environment of supply-chain e-commerce. The objectives of e-commerce include obtaining financial profit, internal innovation through processes integration, learning with information flow, and customer satisfaction through quick response. These objectives are generally consistent with the four evaluation measures of balanced scorecard(BSC). This study, first, demonstrated that perceived environmental uncertainty(PEU) has a significant effect on the adoptions of e-commerce and BSC, and severe competition positively influences the use of e-commerce. With cluster analysis and subgroup analysis, we also showed that under the high adoption levels of e-commerce, the high utilization of BSC can improve the supply-chain performance of a firm. In addition, it was found that the use of e-commerce indirectly and significantly affects supply-chain performance through inter-organizational information flow, and the supply-chain performance of a firm leads to the improvement of organizational performance.

Digital satellite systems are usually integrated with terrestrial systems to provide various services, and in these cases they should satisfy the performance objectives defined by the terrestrial systems. Recommendation ITU-R S.1062 specifies the performance of digital satellite systems. The performance objectives were given in terms of bit error probability divided by the average number of errors per burst versus percentage of time. This paper presents theoretical method to estimate performance measure of digital satellite systems defined in Recommendation ITU-R S.1062. We show performance estimation results of duo-binary Turbo codes, and verify them by comparing to the simulation results.

In complex industrial world, many companies make every effort to analyze their competition capability through various performance evaluation tools to cope with rapidly changing business environment. Among evaluation tools the balanced scorecard (BSC), put forward by Kaplan and Norton in 1992, is a strategic performance management tool for measuring whether the smaller-scale operational activities of a company are aligned with its larger-scale objectives in terms of vision and strategy. The BSC tool offers a comparative advantage over others to evaluate the objective achievement of a company by linking its strategic objectives with operational KPI. In this paper, we introduce a case that the BSC performance evaluation system was implemented based on product data management and applied it to the business process. Specially, we shows a implementation procedure to derive discipline-specific topics and key performance metrics.

The optimization design problem of nuclear reactor radiation shield is a typical multi-objective optimization problem with almost 10 sub-objectives and the sub-objectives are always demanded to be under tolerable limits. In this paper, a design method combining multi-objective optimization algorithms with paralleling discrete ordinate transportation code is developed and applied to shield design of the Savannah nuclear reactor. Three approaches are studied for light-weighted and compact design of radiation shield. Comparing with directly optimization with 10 objectives and the single-objective optimization, the approach by setting sub-objectives representing weight and volume as optimization objectives while treating other sub-objectives as constraints has the best performance, which is more suitable to reactor shield design.
