BACKGROUND There are many reports regarding various medical institutions' attempts at incident prevention, but the relationship between incident types and impact on patients in drug name errors has not been studied. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between them, while also assessing the relationship between preparation and inspection errors. Furthermore, the present study aimed to clarif...

In this paper error sources existing in the on-line inspection system for numerical control machines are analyzed. A mathematical model of the geometric errors of a three-axis machining center is created and the pretravel variations are obtained in different directions. Then an error compensation is applied to improve the accuracy of the on-line inspection system. A methodology of spatial stati...

An image is never noise free. Visual inspection of a part from its image is therefore aaected by image errors. Understanding how image errors aaect measurement precision is therefore critical for accurate inspection. Existing visual inspection methods either setup a highly controlled environment to minimize image errors or simply ignore image errors. They therefore suuer from limited accuracy a...

Relevant material and environmental parameters are required in modelling chloride ingress into concrete. They could be determined from experimental data (concrete cores taken during inspection) but in practice data availability is limited by time-consuming and expensive tests. Consequently, the main objective of this paper is to develop an approach based on Bayesian networks (BN) to improve the...

Extensive test data is required to demonstrate that " few " errors exist in software. If the process of software testing could be carried out automatically, testing efficiency would increase and the cost of software development would be significantly reduced. In this paper, a tool for detecting errors in object oriented classes is proposed. The approach uses a state-based testing method. The me...

Research in aircraft inspection and maintenance has revealed the criticality of human inspection performance in improving aviation safety. If we are to provide the general public with a safe and reliable air transportation system, inspection must be performed effectively, efficiently and consistently. Even though it is difficult to eliminate errors completely, continuing emphasis must be placed...

Spreadsheets are widely used in the business, public, and private sectors. However, research and practice has generally shown that spreadsheets frequently contain errors. Several researchers and vendors have proposed the use of spreadsheet static analysis programs (SAPs) as a means to augment or potentially replace the manual inspection of spreadsheets for errors. SAPs automatically search spre...
