Integrating the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Approaches for an Enhanced Police Performance Measurement System
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
An effective performance measurement system is an integral part of modern police management. Police agencies have measured their performance against a very restricted set of crime-focused indicators, such as crime rates, ...
Manipulation and Isolation of Biomolecules Using Dielectrophoretic and Hydrodynamic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Novel particle manipulation techniques are developed to separate, isolate, and control a wide range biomolecules from DNA to cells in complex solution such as whole blood. First, we show that integrating an insulating tip ...
Comparing Prediction Methods of Wheat Grain Quality With the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
A widely used breeding method is genomic selection, which uses genome-wide marker coverage to predict genotypic values for quantitative traits. Genomic selection combines molecular and phenotypic data in a training population ...
Attacking the Messenger: Exploring the Security of Big Data Messenger Apache Kafka
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
As technology becomes faster, cheaper, and more compact, a higher volume of data must be processed. This demand drives the need to process high volumes of data in near real time. As a result, technologies such as Kafka ...
