The balanced scorecard: here and back: from its beginnings as a performance

The balanced scorecard is a strategic performance measurement system developed by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton to help organizations achieve breakthrough results by embedding strategy at the heart of the organization. Developed 12 years ago, the concept was significantly different from any existing performance measurement system and generated considerable excitement. A variety of applications and variations of the balanced scorecard have emerged since its inception. It was received and used so enthusiastically and effectively that the Harvard Business Review labeled it in 1997 as one of the 75 most influential ideas of the 20th Century. (1) Early on, a navigation metaphor was used to illustrate the need for additional performance measures. Over time, the navigation metaphor expanded to include the process of strategic mapping and decisions about where to lead your company. This article outlines the evolution of the balanced scorecard.
ASSESSMENT OF THE JRC ADVANCED TWO-PHASE FLOW MODULE USING ASTAR BENCHMARK TEST CASES

The Advanced Two-phase Flow Module (ATFM) has been developed at the JRC-Ispra with the specific aim to further develop and verify new two-phase flow modeling concepts and related numerical solution strategies. For the basic modelling of transient two-phase flow, a hyperbolic single-pressure two-fluid model is used. A specific formulation of the non-viscous forces in the separated momentum and energy equations provides an unconditionally hyperbolic system of (transport) equations and allows an algebraic evaluation of the eigenvalues and related eigenvectors as functions of the governing flow parameters.
NEAR-INFRARED ENERGY BANDGAP BISMUTH OXIDE THIN FILMS AND THEIR IN-DEPTH MORPHO-STRUCTURAL AND OPTICAL ANALYSIS

This paper presents the results of the analysis of bismuth oxide thin films prepared by thermal evaporation in vacuum of pure bismuth onto heated glass substrates (from room temperature till 200 C), followed by thermal oxidation in air. The crystalline structure and the grain size distribution were analyzed by means of transmission electron microscopy and the results were related to the optical properties of the films. The refractive index of the films varies around 2.0 and the energy bandgap (the Wemple-Didomenico model) varies around 1.5 eV, in the near-infrared, making such films useful for thermal energy capture.
Father–Child Contact, Interparental Conflict, and Depressive Symptoms among Children of Divorced Parents

Contact between children and divorced fathers is often believed to strengthen the negative effect of interparental postdivorce conflict on children's well-being. Although this is a well-known hypothesis, there is surprisingly little evidence for it. This article examines the hypothesis using large-scale nationally representative data on secondary school students in the Netherlands. The hypothesis is tested using interactions of conflict with postdivorce contact and interactions of conflict with co-parenting. We find that children of divorced parents have more depressive symptoms than children of married parents. Interparental conflict after divorce increases children’s depressive symptoms, while father–child contact has no effect. There is a significant interaction between interparental conflict and father–child contact: interparental conflict increases depression more when there is more contact between the father and the child. This is only observed for boys and not for girls. For girls, depression is increased when the quality of the tie to the father is poorer. Theoretical explanations are suggested in terms of exposure effects and conflicting loyalties.

WhiteCell : Energy-Ef fi cient Use of Unlicensed Frequency Bands for Cellular Of fl oading

Cellular networks have addressed the multi-fold increase in traffic demand through various approaches from increasingly smaller cells to offloading demand to unlicensed spectrum, such as WiFi and TV white spaces. The latter approach has a tremendous cost benefit as unlicensed hardware can be colocated with existing cellular infrastructure. However, in these situations where demand is the greatest, WiFi spectral activity could be high and the total number of available white space channels are often inversely proportional to the population due to the existence of TV broadcast channels. Moreover, the additional hardware induces a higher energy demand of the cell site. In this work, we perform extensive spectral measurements of unlicensed bands in a major metropolitan area and crowdsource user mobility to consider potential swings in network load. Using these measurements, we design a queuing-based approach to serve these network demand dynamics in an energy-efficient manner according to differing qualities of service. In particular, we perform in-field experimentation of the diurnal spectrum activity across white space (54-806 MHz) and WiFi (2.4 and 5.8 GHz) bands in typical settings across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. We also consider mobility patterns from Androidbased crowdsourced measurements in four major Texas cities to infer the change in traffic demand induced by users. Driven by both data sets, we propose a Greedy Server-side Replacement (GSR) algorithm to estimate the power consumption for the use of unlicensed bands in cellular offloading. In doing so, we find that networks with white space bands reduce the power consumption by up to 513% in sparse rural areas over WiFi-only solutions via measurement-driven numerical simulation. In more dense areas, we find power consumption reduction across a 24hour period to be, on average, 24%, 44%, 63% over WiFi-only offloading with one to three white space channels, respectively. Finally, we consider the quality of service impact on power consumption and find that up to 151% of the power can be saved with only a slight relaxation of waiting times.
BRENDA, the enzyme database: updates and major new developments

BRENDA (BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) represents a comprehensive collection of enzyme and metabolic information, based on primary literature. The database contains data from at least 83,000 different enzymes from 9800 different organisms, classified in approximately 4200 EC numbers. BRENDA includes biochemical and molecular information on classification and nomenclature, reaction and specificity, functional parameters, occurrence, enzyme structure, application, engineering, stability, disease, isolation and preparation, links and literature references. The data are extracted and evaluated from approximately 46,000 references, which are linked to PubMed as long as the reference is cited in PubMed. In the past year BRENDA has undergone major changes including a large increase in updating speed with >50% of all data updated in 2002 or in the first half of 2003, the development of a new EC-tree browser, a taxonomy-tree browser, a chemical substructure search engine for ligand structure, the development of controlled vocabulary, an ontology for some information fields and a thesaurus for ligand names. The database is accessible free of charge to the academic community at http://www.brenda. uni-koeln.de.
Migration and inheritance practices in the Bolivian Altiplano

Most theoretical approaches to inheritance assume that parents are the key actors of bequest decisions. However, in a context of important migration, children may play an active role in the inheritance process. Based on a unique data set collected at both ends of the migration link in Bolivia, we are able to show that migrant children significantly influence the way inheritance is distributed through their decision to accept or refuse their share of inheritance. This decision is not only influenced by the migrants need for economic security but also by the transaction costs associated to land ownership. Yet, land inheritance is not completely driven by the demand for inheritance of the children. Parents continue to play an important role and the identity of the person responsible for the migration decision emerges as an important determinant of their bequest decision.
Biogeographic Variation in the Diet and Behaviour of Cercopithecus mitis

Primate species are characterised by variation in foraging behaviour and dietary composition across their geographic range. Here we examine how ecological conditions account for variation in the behavioural ecology of a widespread arboreal guenon, Cercopithecus mitis. Although substantial variation existed in time budgets, group size, home range and day journey length, clear biogeographic patterns were not apparent. In contrast, dietary variation was correlated with underlying climatic conditions. Temperature seasonality, which tends to increase with latitude, was significantly positively related to the proportion of fruit in the diet and negatively related to the proportion of animal matter. Both dietary components were ‘preferred' foods, with the variability between populations reflecting the availability of different food types across their geographic range. Although we found no significant relationships between climate and the proportion of leaves in the diet, the ability for C. mitis to vary its diet to include a diversity of food types, and to incorporate a significant proportion of leaves when preferred sources are scarce, likely underpins its ability to survive across such a large distribution.
What Scope Is There for Adopting Evidence-Informed Teaching in SE ?

Context: In teaching about software engineering we currently make little use of any empirical knowledge. Aim: To examine the outcomes available from the use of EvidenceBased Software Engineering (EBSE) practices, so as to identify where these can provide support for, and inform, teaching activities. Method: We have examined all known secondary studies published up to the end of 2009, together with those published in major journals to mid-2011, and identified where these provide practical results that are relevant to student needs. Results: Starting with 145 candidate systematic literature reviews (SLRs), we were able to identify and classify potentially useful teaching material from 43 of them. Conclusions: EBSE can potentially lend authority to our teaching, although the coverage of key topics is uneven. Additionally, mapping studies can provide support for research-led teaching.

The mythologization of regression towards the mean

In the quantitative methodology literature, there now exists what can be considered a received account of the enigmatic phenomenon known as regression towards the mean (RTM), the origins of which can be traced to the work of Sir Francis Galton circa 1885. On the received account, RTM is, variably, portrayed as a ubiquitous, unobservable property of individual-level difference and change phenomena, a force that impacts upon the characteristics of individual entities, an explanation for difference and change phenomena, and a profound threat to the drawing of correct conclusions in experiments. In the current paper, we describe the most essential components of the received account, and offer arguments to the effect that the received account is a mythologization of RTM. In particular, we: (a) describe the scientific and statistical setting in which a consideration of RTM is embedded; (b) translate Galton’s discussion of RTM into modern statistical terms; (c) excavate a definition of the concept regression towards the mean from Galton’s discussion of RTM; and (d) employ the excavated definition to dismantle certain of the most essential components of the received account.
Development and Characterization of High-Absorption Microencapsulated Organic Propolis EPP-AF® Extract (i-CAPs)

The demand for organic and functional food continues to increase yearly. Among the available functional foods, propolis is a bee product that has various beneficial properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, it generally is only available in ethanol solution, which has poor bioavailability, as it is relatively insoluble in water. The use of such ethanol extracts is often objectionable because of the alcohol content and because they have a strong and striking taste. Development of alternatives that can efficiently and safely increase solubility in water, and that meet organic production specifications, has been a challenge. To address these concerns, microcapsules were developed using spray-dryer technology from an emulsion based on EPP-AF® propolis and gum arabic (i-CAPS). These propolis-loaded microcapsules were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, TGA, HPLC, and spectrophotometric techniques, along with determination of antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antihypercholesterolemic activities, as well as permeability in in vitro models. The production system resulted in microcapsules with a spherical shape and an encapsulation efficiency of 93.7 ± 0.7%. They had IC50s of 2.654 ± 0.062 and 7.342 ± 0.058 µg/mL by FRAP and DPPH antioxidant methods, respectively. The EPP-AF® i-CAPS also had superior antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Antitumor activity was calculated based on the concentration that inhibited 50% of growth of AGS, Caco-2, and MCF-7 cell strains, giving results of 154.0 ± 1.0, 117 ± 1.0, and 271.0 ± 25 µg/mL, respectively. The microcapsule presentation reduced the permeation of cholesterol by 53.7%, demonstrating antihypercholesterolemic activity, and it improved the permeability of p-coumaric acid and artepillin C. The IC50 for NO production in RAW 264.7 cells was 59.0 ± 0.1 µg/mL. These findings demonstrate the potential of this new propolis product as a food and pharmaceutical ingredient, though additional studies are recommended to validate the safety of proposed dosages.
Tale of Three Hurricanes A Twitter Tale of Three Hurricanes : Harvey , Irma , and

People increasingly use microblogging platforms such as Twitter during natural disasters and emergencies. Research studies have revealed the usefulness of the data available on Twitter for several disaster response tasks. However, making sense of social media data is a challenging task due to several reasons such as limitations of available tools to analyze high-volume and high-velocity data streams. This work presents an extensive multidimensional analysis of textual and multimedia content from millions of tweets shared on Twitter during the three disaster events. Specifically, we employ various Artificial Intelligence techniques from Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision fields, which exploit different machine learning algorithms to process the data generated during the disaster events. Our study reveals the distributions of various types of useful information that can inform crisis managers and responders as well as facilitate the development of future automated systems for disaster management.
Three-dimensional Alumina Photonic Bandgap Structures: Numerical Simulation and Fabrication by Fused Deposition of Multimaterials

Three-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) structures using alumina (Al2O3) as the high permittivity material were modeled and fabricated. A finite element method and a realtime electromagnetic wave propagation software were used to simulate and design the layered PBG structures for their use in the microwave frequency range. The modeling obtained a 3-D photonic bandgap in the 16-23 GHz range. Fused deposition of multimaterials (FDMM) technology was then used to manufacture PBG structures. FDMM provides a computercontrolled process to generate 3-D structures, allowing high fabrication flexibility and efficiency. These PBG structures are potential candidates for applications in advanced communication systems.
Deep Learning Methods in Scientific Problems ? : Recent Progress and Future Prospects

This work discusses a novel framework for learning deep learning models by using the scientific knowledge encoded in physics-based models. This framework, termed as physics-guided neural network (PGNN), leverages the output of physicsbased model simulations along with observational features to generate predictions using a neural network architecture. Further, we discuss a novel class of learning objective for training neural networks, which ensures that the model predictions not only show lower errors on the training data but are also consistent with the known physics. We illustrate the effectiveness of PGNN for the problem of lake temperature modeling, where physical relationships between the temperature, density, and depth of water are used in the learning of neural network model parameters. By using scientific knowledge to guide the construction and learning of neural networks, we are able to show that the proposed framework ensures better generalizability as well as physical consistency of results.
Homecoming: Black Same-Gender-Loving Male Couples Navigating Family Matters

This narrative inquiry utilizes a Quare theory framework to explore the stories of Black same-gender-loving (SGL) male romantic couples and how they reconcile family matters. In this study, “family matters” is a double entendre, that is, highlighting the importance of family bond and ongoing familial conflicts that impact intimate relationships. The findings and implications of this study support counseling professionals with tools to work with Black SGL couples and families.
Proof that the Ether Exists and that the Speed of Light is Anisotropic

The null result of the Michelson Morley interferometer experiment in 1887 has been widely regarded as proof that the aether does not exist, and that Relativity’s assertion that the speed of light is isotropic is all reference frames is the correct model. However, a number of experiments have detected anisotropy in the speed of light by exploiting the effect known as Fresnel Dragging to reveal the different travel times by light in each direction between two points.
Sunk Cost and Entry-Exit Decisions under Individual Transferable Quotas: Why Industry Restructuring Is Delayed

The paper shows that explicit modelling of sunk cost and a firm’s entry-exit decision in a traditional deterministic investment model may give an explanation of the slow transition to the optimal fleet structure following the introduction of individual transferable quotas (ITQs). The analysis shows that the annual lease unit price of quota may be in a range where the long-run fleet structure will not be attainable at once. Over time, firms with zero gross investment as optimal behavior may leave the industry as the capital decays and over the transition period the optimal fleet structure prevails. (JEL Q22)

MASS FLUX MEASUREMENT OF TWO-PHASE SPRAY BY AN IMPULSE PROBE AND PDPA

Mass flux measurement of droplets in multiphase atomization is a challenging task. Advanced laser diagnostics such as the Phase Doppler Particle Anemometer (PDPA) are not capable of accurately measuring the droplet mass flux in a dense spray due to the higher rejection of non-spherical droplets by the PDPA. A combined measurement of momentum data from the impulse sensor (IS) and velocity data from the PDPA provides a reasonable estimate of mass flux data in the two phase spray envelope. The mass flux data obtained by the coupled PDPA+IS will facilitate the estimation of the void fraction in multiphase dense spray, which will be very beneficial to the design of industrial multiphase nozzles.
