since the introduction of our local manufacturing of terfenadine, we have observed and expressed our concern about a small but increasing number of serious ventricular arrhythmias associated with the use of this non sedating antihistamine. in january 1997 a case of torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia was detected in a previously healthy woman taking terfenadine with erythromycin. electro...

Piston plays a vital role in almost all types of vehicles. The present study discusses the behavioral study of a piston manufacturing plant. Manufacturing plants are complex repairable systems and therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of a piston manufacturing plant using stochastic models. The stochastic model is an efficient performance evaluator for repairable systems. In...

We study the extent to which the U.S. housing boom and subsequent housing bust during the 2000s masked (and then unmasked) the sharp, ongoing decline in the manufacturing sector. We exploit cross-city variation in manufacturing declines and housing booms and jointly estimate their effects on local employment and wages. Between 2000 and 2007, we find that a one standard deviation decrease in man...

Using automated methods to analyze the temporal behavior of manufacturing systems has proven to be essential and quite bene-cial. Popular methodologies include Queueing networks, Markov chains, simulation techniques, and discrete event systems (such as Petri nets). These methodologies are primarily stochastic. Performance evaluation mandates results which are probabilistic in nature (such as th...

in this paper, the operation of helix traveling wave tube in interaction region is investigated by using a three dimensional large signal lagrangian model in frequency domain. the complete simulation of these tubes is essential for optimum design and minimum manufacturing cost. this 3d code can compute interception current (or current losses ), beam radius changes in interaction region and the ...

We analyzed data on non-fatal occupational injuries reported to Malaysia's social security organization from 2002 to 2006. There was a decrease in both the absolute number and the incidence rates of these injuries over time. About 40% of cases occurred in the manufacturing sector followed by the service (17%) and trading (17%) sectors. The agriculture sector reported the highest incidence rate ...
