Control charts, as had been used traditionally for quality monitoring, were applied alternatively to monitor systems’ reliability. In other words, they can be detect changes in the failure behavior of systems. Such purpose imposed modifying traditional control charts addition developing that are more compatible with reliability monitoring. The latter developed category is known probability limi...

Previous studies have shown adaptive cruise control (ACC) can compromise driving safety when drivers do not understand how the ACC functions, suggesting that drivers need to be informed about the capabilities of this technology. This study applies ecological interface design (EID) to create a visual representation of ACC behavior, which is intended to promote appropriate reliance and support ef...

Exponential CUSUM charts are used in monitoring the occurrence rate of rare events because the interarrival times of events for homogeneous Poisson processes are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables. In these applications, it is assumed that the exponential parameter, i.e. the mean, is known or has been accurately estimated. However, in practice, the in-control m...

Emerging mycotoxins are of a great importance due to their high occurrence in foods and feeds and their implication in pathologies. There is a need to control them both in pre- and post-harvest. However, the increasing drawbacks of chemical decontamination methods, makes the use of preventive methods more attractive. These are based on avoiding growth of mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxin accumu...
