We compared Molecular Dynamics simulations of a bilayer of 128 fully hydrated phospholipid (DPPC) molecules, using diierent parameters and macroscopic boundary conditions. The same system was studied under constant pressure, constant volume and constant surface tension boundary conditions, with two diierent sets of charges, the single point charge (SPC) and extended single point charge (SPC/E) ...

We consider the problem of monitoring variability of autocorrelated processes. This paper combines variance estimation techniques from simulation literature with two statistical process control charts from statistical process control (SPC) literature. The proposed SPC methods do not require any assumptions on the distribution of the underlying process and use a variance estimate from each batch...

Statistical Process Control (SPC) and its variations have shown to be a powerful technique to predict unstable and incapable processes. However, SPC lacks the ability to quantify the necessary changes to correct deviations in the process when incapability is detected. On the other hand, a technique based on control theory has shown to be adequate to quantify changes in the test process in order...

Abstract There is a need to effectively concentrate soy protein from defatted flour (DSF) while simultaneously valorizing the carbohydrate‐rich byproduct, which would otherwise be waste. This study aims evaluate process developed produce concentrates (SPC) by substantially hydrolyzing carbohydrates DSF with help of enzymes into water‐soluble saccharides and monomeric sugars, were utilized Sacch...

BACKGROUND For physicians dealing with patients with a limited life expectancy, knowing the time to benefit (TTB) of preventive medication is essential to support treatment decisions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of statistical process control (SPC) for determining the TTB in relation to fracture risk with alendronate versus placebo in postmenopausal women...

OBJECTIVE To investigate and illustrate the use of statistical process control (SPC) for prospective monitoring and detection of regional changes in prescription opioid abuse rates. METHODS A demonstration project was conducted by applying several types of SPC charts to Louisiana TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) applicant self-reported opioid illicit use data collected during 21...

Effects of dietary ingredients and feed additives on the health and production of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) for applications in aquaculture David Luke Peggs Experiment one revealed fishmeal (FM) replacement with soy protein concentrate (SPC) alone, and in combination with pea protein concentrate (PPC) and saponins (S) modulated the intestinal bacterial communities of D. labrax, i...

As manufacturing quality has become a decisive factor in global market competition, statistical quality techniques such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) are widely used in industry. With advances in information, sensing, and data collection technology, large volumes of data are routinely available in processes employing Automatic Process Control (APC) and Engineering Process Control (EPC). ...
