in zero acceptance number sampling plans, the sample items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. the proposed method in this research follows these rules: if the number of nonconforming items in the first sample is equal to zero, the lot is accepted but if the number of nonconforming items is equal to one, then second sample is taken and the policy of zero acceptance number would be appl...

talent management strategy (tms) is one of the new paradigms in human resources management (hrm) that centers on identification, employment, training, promotion and maintenance in an organization. the purpose and method of this study is based on correlation descriptive-survey process. the statistical population of the current research contains the whole faculty members of isfahan university. by...

Evolution of small-vacancy clusters in bcc Fe is simulated using a multiscale approach coupling an atomistic activation-relaxation method for sampling transition-state pathways with environment-dependent reaction coordinate calculations and a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to reach time scales on the order of ~10⁴ s. Under vacancy-supersaturated condition, di- and trivacancy clusters form and g...

BACKGROUND Traditional Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) designs assume observations are collected using simple random sampling. Alternatively, randomly sampling clusters of observations and then individuals within clusters reduces costs but decreases the precision of the classifications. In this paper, we develop a general framework for designing the cluster(C)-LQAS system and illustrate t...

objective: : loneliness is one of the fundamental problems of old people that many factors are involved in the development or aggravation of that. any factor, such as migration, that reduces the kinship network, can be considered as effective factor. there are many studies about migration as a common phenomenon in most rural of iran, but few answered to this question: what is the effects of mig...

BACKGROUND In order to begin to address the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in sub-Saharan Africa, high quality community-based epidemiological studies from the region are urgently needed. Cluster-designed sampling methods may be most efficient, but designing such studies requires assumptions about the clustering of the outcomes of interest. Currently, few studies from Sub-Saharan Af...
