To determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a program to provide screening for tuberculosis infection and directly observed preventive therapy (DOPT) in methadone maintenance clinics, we determined completion rates of screening for tuberculosis infection, medical evaluation, and preventive therapy, as well as the number of active tuberculosis cases and tuberculosis-related deaths p...

PT. Kerta Rajasa Raya is a manufacturing company engaged in the plastic sack industry. The uses Lohia 1 machines (Lohia Extruder and Winder Machines) producing semi-finished products, namely yarn as main ingredient for making sacks. This engine has different types of defects, which causes defects production results that are not on target. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measurement method...

The potential developmental effects of 1R4F reference cigarette smoke were examined using Sprague-Dawley rats exposed for 2 h/day, 7 days/week, by nose-only inhalation at target mainstream smoke concentrations of 150, 300, and 600 mg/m3 total particulate matter (TPM). Males were exposed 4 weeks prior to and during mating, with females exposed 2 weeks prior to mating and during mating, and throu...

Paper aims Aiming to avoid an inefficient digital transformation, the present work proposes a framework that will provide companies with strategy implement technologies legacy systems of maintenance. Originality Such was produced through series strategic analyses using multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. Research method These are composed three steps. First, reviewing literature indus...

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PROCESS CONTROL A discussion of Statistical Process Control, Total Productive Maintenance, and Automated Process Control in production processes. The control of production processes is the subject of several disciplines, such as Statistical Process Control (SPC), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Automated Process Control (APC). Although these disciplines are tra...

RATIONALE Barriers to developing treatments for human status epilepticus include the inadequacy of experimental animal models. In contrast, naturally occurring canine epilepsy is similar to the human condition and can serve as a platform to translate research from rodents to humans. The objectives of this study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of an intravenous (IV) dose of topiramate ...

In this paper, a new method for modelling and estimation of reliability parameters of power transformer components in distribution and transmission voltage levels for preventive-corrective maintenance schedule of transformers is proposed. In this method, with optimal estimation of Weibull distribution parameters using least squares method and input data uncertainty reduction, failure rate and p...
