CONT

A capability maturity model assesses an organization's ability to accomplish defined tasks.... A CMM assesses an organization's maturity level based on how it executes individual processes.

CONT

The CMM concept originated with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), which published "Managing the Software Process" in 1989 to assess software contractors’ ability to successfully complete large software development projects. The CMM concept has since been applied to system engineering, project management, risk management, and information technology services.

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Preharvest sprouting(PHS) is a phenomenon whereby seeds germinate while still attached to the mother plant. The occurrence of PHS in hexaploid wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) can drastically lower grain quality resulting in reduced prices for farmers. Wheat is susceptible to PHS anytime cool wet weather persists near harvest maturity, making it a problem in nearly all wheat growing regions worldwide. The main factor contributing to PHS susceptibility is the low level of seed dormancy encountered in modern cultivated varieties.

OBS

Domaine(s)

CONT

La germination sur pied. Des conditions humides, juste avant la récolte du blé, peuvent faire démarrer la germination des graines alors qu'elles se trouvent encore dans les épis. Des enzymes, en particulier des amylases, commencent à transformer l'amidon en sucre, nécessaire au développement de l'embryon. La germination sur pied peut avoir des effets néfastes sur la panification, et même un lot apparemment non germé peut être affecté.

OBS

Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. This pay plan describes pay administration for employees in the University Teaching Group(UT) of the Scientific and Professional Category. The objective of this plan is to encourage optimum performance by enabling senior management to recognize experience and to reward employees in the University Teaching Group according to their contribution to the attainment of the goals of the Canadian military colleges. It reflects an approach to compensation used by progressive universities in Canada and is in accord with government policy on personnel management. The plan(approved March 11, 1982, TB 781410) provides college principals with flexibility in recommending merit/maturity pay increases for faculty members within a salary range for each level and selected performance awards to distinguished members of the faculty.

Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Le présent document décrit le Régime de rémunération des employés du groupe d'enseignement universitaire (UT), de la catégorie scientifique et professionnelle. Ce régime a pour but de favoriser un rendement optimal en permettant à la haute direction de reconnaître l'expérience des employés du groupe d'enseignement universitaire et de les rémunérer en fonction de leur contribution à la réalisation des objectifs que se fixent les collèges militaires du Canada. Il s'inspire d'un concept de rémunération appliqué par toutes les universités avant-gardistes du Canada et est compatible avec la politique du gouvernement en matière de gestion du personnel. Approuvé le 11 mars 1982 par la délibération 781410 du Conseil du Trésor, le régime donne aux directeurs des collèges la latitude voulue pour recommander, en fonction de l'échelle de rémunération applicable à chaque niveau, des augmentations de traitement fondées sur le mérite et l'ancienneté ainsi que l'attribution de primes de rendement à des professeurs émérites ayant atteint le maximum de l'échelle.

OBS

In the performance of a system study for configuration development and propulsion system trades, it is imperative to have a good baseline configuration or reference vehicle. This vehicle should be relatively well characterized and be compatible with the configuration and propulsion systems to be compared. The maturity of the reference vehicle design and analyses must be such that the sensitivity to a given technology will be evident when it is installed. If the reference design is poorly substained, changes in propulsion technology may not show significant impact to the vehicle. Likewise, the level of analytical effort applied to characterize a new propulsion system must be compatible with efforts applied to the reference vehicle. Address these issues and mitigate the risks through appropriate design changes...

The third portion(of Edward Lee Thorndike) pre-1930 theory;(the law of readiness) ;involves the state of the organism, or it's motivation to learn. Thorndike explained with this law the fact that some behaviors are more likely to be learned than others. While the law itself was vague much has been done to interpret the readiness to apply to the maturity level of the organism or the effects of previous learning on present learning.

DEF

The ratio of the amounts of odd-carbon n-alkanes to those of even-carbon n-alkanes.

CONT

Carbon Preference Index(CPI). Generally the ratio of abundance of odd over even carbon number paraffins, specifically calculated over the C24-C34 range. Hydrocarbons derived predominantly from terrestrial sources and/or at low maturity exhibit a predominance of odd-numbered alkanes(resulting in a high CPI) ;this feature disappears with increasing maturation level(CPI approaches 1. 0).

CONT

... case studies show that in ancient detrital sediment the predominance of the original odd n-alkanes of high molecular weight is preserved mainly in relatively shallow shales and silts, where degradation of kerogen has not yet started ... With increasing maturity, and odd-even preference (also known as CPI: carbon preference index) of about 5:1 in shallow detrital material is reduced to around unity in the zone of oil formation, as a result of thermal degradation and the introduction of new alkanes, which dilutes the original odd-even predominance.
