background: this study was aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with phosphor storage plate (psp) in detection of simulated occlusal secondary caries. materials and methods: in this in vitro descriptive-comparative study, a total of 80 slots of class i cavities were prepared on 80 extracted human premolars. then, 40 teeth were randomly...

this paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. the methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (smo) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. the faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output error i...

When monitoring a process which has multivariate normal variables, the Shewhart-type control chart (Hotelling (1947)) traditionally used for monitoring the process mean vector is effective for detecting large shifts, but for detecting small shifts it is more effective to use the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart proposed by Lowry et al. (1992). It has been...

Marden and Perlman (1988) have shown that the classical step-down procedure the Hotelling T 2 testing problem is inadmissible in most cases. Mudholkar and Subbaiah (1980) proposed a modified step-down procedure wherein the p-values associated with sten-wise F tests are combined according to Fisher's combination method. In the present paper it is shown that the modified step-down procedure is in...
