Population size and density estimates are needed to plan resource requirements and plan health related interventions. Sampling frames are not always available necessitating surveys using non-standard household sampling methods. These surveys are time-consuming, difficult to validate, and their implementation could be optimised. Here, we discuss an example of an optimisation procedure for rapid ...

Australia exports about 150,000 to 200,000 tons of manufacturing beef to the United States annually. Each lot is tested for Escherichia coli O157 using the N-60 sampling protocol, where 60 small pieces of surface meat from each lot of production are tested. A risk assessment of E. coli O157 illness from the consumption of hamburgers made from Australian manufacturing meat formed the basis to ev...

Recent times have seen the development of planners that exploit advances in SAT(isfiability) solving technology to achieve good performance. In that spirit we develop the approximate contingent planner PSLSPLAN. Our approach is based on local search for solving stochastic SAT (SSAT) representations of probabilistic planning problems. PSLSPLAN first constructs an SSAT representation of the ntime...

this article studies the effects of dividing the distribution of petrol on changing the methods of city transportation in mashhad, six months after the plan. the sampling method used in this research is the classed sampling method and there were 670 participants, all from the city of mashhad. the results of the study show that the rate of satisfaction from the plan, is very low; just 20%. the y...

This research article presents, a blended two-sided chain inspection plan with process potential measure. The Probability of acceptance and related measures are shown. Tables prepared to find the parameters plan. In this variable sample size is obtained by using normal distribution in attribute inspection, sampling which yields small used designed really production industries study product resp...
