A multistage system refers to a system consisting of multiple components, stations or stages required to finish the final product or service. Multistage systems are very common in practice and include a variety of modern manufacturing and service systems. In most cases, the quality of the final product or service produced by a multistage system is determined by complex interactions among multip...

one of the main goals of interpretation of gravity data is to detect location and edges of the anomalies. edge detection of gravity anomalies is carried out by different methods. terracing of the data is one of the approaches that help the interpreter to achieve appropriate results of edge detection. this goal becomes a complex task when the gravity anomalies have smooth borders due to gradual ...

The structure and composition of sub test profile types most representative of the 2,200 6'12to 16'hyear-old children comprising the normative sample for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for ChildrenRevised (WISC-R; Wechsler, 1974) were explored. Profiles were sorted according to similar level and shape using multistage cluster analysis with independent replications. A final solution of 7 core p...

Theoretically predictionq of the solvent effects of I - pentadecanoyl - 2 -docosahexaennyl - Sn - glycerol3 - phosphocholin have been studied using 'Jamey-lock quantiun chemical approximation and STD - 30basis set within the Onsager Self-Consistent Reaction field (SCRS') model All optimized conformers of I -pentadecanoyl - 2 -docosahexaenoyI - Sn - glycerol 3 - phosphocholin as well as their to...

This paper analyses the turbulent energy cascade from perspective of statistical mechanics, and relates interscale fluxes to irreversibility information entropy production. The microscopical reversibility is tested by constructing a reversible three-dimensional system using dynamic model for sub-grid stresses. system, when reversed in time, develops sustained inverse towards large scales, evide...

Background: Ramadan fasting is an obligation for many Muslims around the world who abstain from eating and drinking for one month, which has different medical and physiological effects, such as reducing blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, and body weight. It has also been hypothesized that Ramadan fasting may induce some changes in the hematologic parameters. Thus, we aimed to investi...

ÐAll-to-all personalized exchange is one of the most dense collective communication patterns and occurs in many important applications in parallel computing. Previous all-to-all personalized exchange algorithms were mainly developed for hypercube and mesh/torus networks. Although the algorithms for a hypercube may achieve optimal time complexity, the network suffers from unbounded node degrees ...

In many quality control applications, use of a single (or several distinct) quality characteristic(s) is insufficient to characterize the quality of a produced item. In an increasing number of cases, a response curve (profile), is required. Such profiles can frequently be modeled using linear or nonlinear regression models. In recent research others have developed multivariate T 2 control chart...
