quality of products and services is considered as a key factor for customer satisfaction. quality function deployment (qfd) is known as a critical tool for translating voice of customers to prioritize technical requirements of a production. the level of this satisfaction depends on the number of fulfilled requirements. it should be noted that this level varies according to the possible constrai...

The INCORE server was set up by the University of Ulster and the United Nations University to act as a central resource for academics, policy-makers and others concerned with conflict resolution and ethnicity across the globe. The server utilises Internet resources to make as widely available as possible information on ethnic conflict. However, like a lot of tools the Internet can be used for m...

Constraint automata (CA) are a coordination model based on finite automata on infinite words. Although originally introduced for compositional modeling of coordinators, an interesting new application of CA is actually implementing coordinators (i.e., compiling CA to executable code). Such an approach guarantees correctness-by-construction and can even yield code that outperforms hand-crafted co...

Unit quaternion is an ideal parameterization for joint rotations. However, due to the complexity of the geometry of S group, it’s hard to specify meaningful joint constraints with unit quaternion. In this paper, we have proposed an effective and accurate method to specify the rotation limits for joints parameterized with the unit quaternion. Joint constrains constructed with our method are adeq...

A study was conducted at five villages of Dzongu, North Sikkim in India to identify various constraints faced by the farmers during poultry production. Selection of respondents of poultry farmers was done on the basis of Simple Random Techniques. The data were collected from each respondent through structured questionnaire as well as self observations. The study indicated that the input (82.25%...
