SOME ASPECTS REGARDING QUALITY INSTRUMENTS

Some initial findings regarding first language influence on playing brass instruments

This paper presents some initial findings regarding the influence of First Language on playing brass instruments. Using ultrasound imaging of the tongue, vowel production and sustained trombone notes were compared for a New Zealand English and a Tongan speaker. It is suggested that, during trombone playing, the tongue shapes used by the Tongan participant pattern with the back vowel /o/ while t...

Quality of surgical instruments.

INTRODUCTION Many surgeons will have encountered the scissors that would not cut, and the artery clip that comes off in a deep difficult location, but it would be reasonable to assume that new instruments should be of assured quality. This study reports the surprising findings of a local quality control exercise for new instruments supplied to a single trust. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between Jan...

Understanding Some Software Quality Aspects from Architecture and Design Models

Software systems evolve over time and it is often difficult to maintain them. One reason for this is often that it is hard to understand the previous release. Further, even if architecture and design models are available and up to date, they primarily represent the functional behaviour of the system. To evaluate whether it is possible to also represent some non-functional aspects, an experiment...

Some Aspects regarding Techniques of Stochastic Approximation in Systems Analysis. a Survey

Abstract As it is known the stochastic-approximation procedures require very little prior knowledge of the process and achieve reasonably good results. For this reason such methods work satisfactorily in various applications. Many and very important results are obtained, in particular, by Gnedenko, Solovyev, Venter and Gastwirth. In this paper we refer to some aspects regarding to the problem o...
