Orphan date January 2007 ProFIT MAP is a business methodology for improving organizational performance and managing execution. Its objective is to help organizations achieve their cost and operational targets. It does this by identifying the relevant parameters that managers can control, linking them to the business objectives, showing which changes will be effective, and creating an execution roadmap that will achieve the objectives. For any business improvement challenge, ProFIT MAP answers four important management questions. Managers then use this information as an input into their decision making process. Can it be done? Is it possible? If not, then what additional capabilities are needed? Will it be profitable? What is the impact of my decision across the product mix and the functional capabilities of the organization? How do I transform operations from point A to point B? That is, what is the operational roadmap for achieving the business objectives? How it works The process of using the ProFIT MAP methodology is referred to as profit mapping . ProFIT MAP assesses the current and future operational requirements of any business challenge from three integrated perspectives representing the business process, its associated resource requirements, and the financial characteristics. Understanding the cost and profitability implications of any process improvement decision prior to its implementation is central to profit mapping.

Orphan date February 2009 Least cost planning methodology LCPM , also referred to as least cost planning LCP is a relatively new technique used by economists for making rational decisions about investments in transportation and other urban infrastructure projects. It is based on cost benefit analysis . However, it is more comprehensive in that it looks at not only the total costs and total benefits for an individual project, but it also examines the total costs and benefits for all alternatives or combinations thereof and treats them on an equal footing. These alternatives include not only construction projects but also demand reduction measures, such as road pricing , developing more walkable neighborhoods and promoting telecommuting . Equal footing means that there is no discrimination against some alternatives based on political or ideological factors. LCPM itself is generally more costly than cost benefit analysis, because of the requirement to study objectively all potential alternatives. However, it can provide large savings to taxpayers because it will do a better job of selecting those projects which maximize benefits while minimizing costs. There has been a trend towards making LCPM mandatory for regional transportation plans. For example, it has been required by Washington U.S. state Washington State law http apps.leg.wa.gov rcw default.aspx?cite 47.80.030 RCW 47.80.030 for regional transportation plans since July 1, 1994.

The Constructionist Design Methodology CDM was developed by artificial intelligence AI researcher Kristinn R. Th risson and his students at Columbia University and Reykjavik University for use in the development of cognitive robotics , communicative humanoids and broad AI systems. The creation of such systems requires integration of a large number of functionalities that must be carefully coordinated to achieve coherent system behavior. CDM is based on iterative design steps that lead to the creation of a network of named interacting modules, communicating via explicitly typed streams and discrete messages. CDM has been used in the creation of many systems including robotics, facial animation, large scale simulation and virtual humans. One of the first systems was MIRAGE, a simulated human in an augmented reality environment that could interact with people through speech and gesture. Fact date November 2008 References The CDM approach is described in an http www.mindmakers.org projects CDM online semi tutorial format , and in an article published in A.I. magazine, see http xenia.media.mit.edu 7Ekris ftp AIMag CDM ThorissonEtAl04.pdf Th risson et al. 2004 .

The Incremental Funding Methodology IFM is an Rate of return ROI informed approach to software development in which software is developed and delivered in carefully prioritized chunks of customer valued functionality. These chunks are known as Minimum Marketable Features or MMFs. IFM integrates traditional software engineering activities with financially informed Software project management project management strategies. IFM heuristics provide clarity into important metrics such as project level Net present value NPV , ROI, initial start up investment costs, and time needed for a project to reach self funding status. It enables developers, customers, and business stakeholders to answer critical questions related to the development and delivery of a product and to optimize strategies accordingly. In short, IFM equips developers and project managers with techniques and principles for increasing the financial returns of a software project and for identifying development schedules that make a project financially feasible.

Event sampling methodology ESM , also known as experience sampling methodology , is a form of sampling method that allows researchers to study ongoing experiences and events that vary across and within days in its naturally occurring environment ref name Reis & Gable, 2000 Reis, H. T., & Gable, S. L. 2000 . Event sampling and other methods for studying everyday experience. In H. T. Reis, C. M. Judd, H. T. Reis, C. M. Judd Eds. , Handbook of research methods in social and personality psychology pp. 190 222 . New York, NY US Cambridge University Press. ref . ESM has several purposes to get an understanding of the prevalence of behaviors, promote theory development, and to serve an exploratory role Because of the frequent sampling of events inherent in ESM, it enables researchers to measure the typology of activity and detect the temporal and dynamic fluctuations of work experiences. Popularity of ESM as a new form of research design increased over the recent years because it addresses the shortcomings of cross sectional research, where once unable to, researchers can now detect intra individual variances across time. In ESM, participants are asked to record their experiences and perceptions in a paper or electronic diary. Diary studies allow for the studying of events that occur naturally but are difficult to examine in the lab. There are three types of ESM procedures Signal contingent some form of notification, such as beeping from a pager or wristwatch notifies participants to record data at either fixed or random intervals ref name Reis & Gable, 2000 . The advantage of this type of ESM is minimization of recall bias. Event contingent participant records any occurrence of certain pre determined events.

Let math g x c x k math . Then math displaystyle D q f g x D q k f g x D q g x . math Relationship to ordinary derivatives Q differentiation resembles ordinary differentiation, with curious differences. For example, the q derivative of the monomial is math left frac d dz right q z n frac 1 q n 1 q z n 1 n q z n 1 math where math n q math is the q bracket of n . Note that math lim q to 1 n q n math so the ordinary derivative is regained in this limit.
