Process monitoring and process adjustment strategies are two important parts of the process improvement methods, and they are often considered separately but should be integrated together. Integrated moving average (IMA) model is the most common disturbance model, and step shift model is one type of more complicated disturbance model that often exists in many real applications. In this paper we...

In this paper, we examine “program. adjustment”. a formal and practical approach to developing correct concurrent programs. by automatically adjusting an, imperfect program to satisfy given constraints. A concurrent program is modeled by a finite state process, and program adjustment to satisfy temporal logic constraints is formalized as the synthesis of an arbiter process which partially seria...

Sanitization by pH adjustment of dairy and pig slurries was evaluated for potential use as organic fertilizer in horticulture. This requires absence Salmonella 25 g slurry less than 1000 Escherichi coli colony-forming unit per gram fresh (Regulation (EU) 2019/1009). Additives used the alkalinization acidification treatments, included hydroxide-salts nitrogen-based reactants to increase a basic ...

Traditional statistical process control (SPC) has been widely employed for the process monitoring in discrete part manufacturing. However, SPC does not consider any adjustment preventing the process drift. Furthermore, many in-line adjustment approaches, such as thermal error compensation and avoidance, are designed only for machine tool error reduction. This paper intends to fully utilize the ...

A longitudinal study over a period of 12 months was conducted to assess the process of adjustment of adults to blindness and the factors that influence that adjustment. The visual impairment of the seven subjects took place from 5 days to 8 months prior to the study. Methods of data collection included ooservations in natural settings, ethnographic interviewing techniques, and two quantitative ...
