traceability is an ability of system to provide status reports or records pertaining of the current situation in the past. in production systems, traceability to track the product or lot of a product and access to records in the entire production process (or part of the process) of the raw material to finished product that purchased and consumed by customer will be applied. traceability in prod...

Contrast has always been appreciated as a significant factor in image quality, but it is less widely recognized that it is a key factor in the representation of depth, solidity and three-dimensionality in images in general, and in paintings in particular. This aspect of contrast was a key factor in the introduction of oil paint as a painting medium at the beginning of the fifteenth century, as ...

Nowadays, competitive market creates the necessity of quality improvement in different levels of supply chains (SCs). This paper contributes to the SC coordination literature and proposes a bilateral coordination contract for optimizing pricing decisions along with quality improvement decisions in different echelons of a real case of a cell phone SC. The SC comprises a manufacturer who deals wi...

The performance of an automatic fingerprint verification system relies heavily on the quality of the captured fingerprint images. In this paper, we propose a new method using fingerprint image quality to improve the accuracy of fingerprint verification. Comparison to conventional fingerprint verification that only use the matching score, a final score is calculated by the matching score and qua...

the experimental studies of methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons and methanol using a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor are presented in this article. the process is carried out at ambient atmospheric pressure and temperature. the dbd reactor is stimulated by an alternative voltage of 50 hz and amplitude of max.23kv. the examination of the effect of voltage and flow rates on metha...

10.4103/japtr.JAPTR_343_17 Dear Friends, Based on quality risk management, the pharmaceutical quality by design (QbD) has been emerged as a logical methodology for the development which commences with prior delineated goals and accentuates better understanding of product and process control. The basis of QbD strategy is International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. QbD approach is surfa...

Product family engineering is a commonly accepted approach to exploit the reuse potential of related software systems in a systematic and pre-planned way. Successful product family engineering, however, necessitates a sound organization of the involved work products to manage the required variability efficiently while exploiting the commonality. But plain and unstructured ASCII files offer no s...

An improvement of the original radiochemical synthesis of [(18) F]ASEM, an α7-nicotinic acetylcholinergic receptor radioligand, is reported. The new procedure utilizes microwave-assisted radiofluorination. In addition, a new preparative HPLC method was developed to eliminate a chemical impurity in the final product. Quality control procedures were also enhanced to improve detection of product w...
