Consider a sports competition in which participants alternately perform a scored task (such as the distance a discus is thrown), and a list of the top m scores is updated throughout. We consider the average number and distribution of records among the top m throughout and at the end of the competition. We also answer questions concerning the number of times the list changes, when each change oc...

We propose algorithms to modify a mesh of a PSLG through out the interactive addition/deletion of elements to/from the PSLG, keeping the quality of the mesh all along the process. Our algorithms achieve quality by deleting, moving or inserting Steiner points.

Keeping food quality among consumers is of high importance. In this study in order to maintain and improve the quality of fish meat, effect of pretreatment with polyphosphates have profound effects on the functional properties of the food products. Experiments were carried out to avoid drip during storage of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)fish under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).The resul...

BACKGROUND In Senegal, traditional supervision often focuses more on collection of service statistics than on evaluation of service quality. This approach yields limited information on quality of care and does little to improve providers' competence. In response to this challenge, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) has implemented a program of formative supervision. This multifaceted, problem...

a methodology is presented in this paper to find optimal location and dosage of chlorine injection in water distribution networks. the objective is to minimize the chlorine consumption while keeping the residual chlorine at each node within the standard range. unfortunately because of wrong water quality management in water distribution networks in many parts of the world, many problems such as...
