Compared to traditional grab sampling modern measurement systems enable continuous water quality monitoring of water systems at high frequency. However, in real world applications online sensors are still subject to functional, technical and operational constraints. Challenges thus remain associated with the automation of data collection and especially data validation to ensure proper use and i...

It is the author’s experience that science and engineering students following a conventional degree course, overwhelmingly demand that they be taught in the lecture theatre where the immediacy of being able to question the lecturer is of prime importance. If information technology is exploited in the lecture theatre, then that material can also be made available to students twenty-four hours a ...

Problem statement: The main part of building any system is achieving high level of quality and developing qualities it is achieve. Many organizations do not take into account the highest level of quality as a main necessary part through building its systems; they think mainly on budget and reducing time to market. Approach: One of the important approached to achieved quality was used components...

Abstract: This paper studies multi-product production manufacturing systems with in-line quality control. Quality control is carried at inspection stations located within a production line. Quality control has an impact on performance of the system: throughput decreases and resource utilization increases. Production lines are modeled as a multi-product Open Jackson Network, where stochastic cha...

This paper extends the standard monopoly quality differentiation model by Mussa and Rosen (1978) to an environment where the production of a (qualitydifferentiated) product-line involves initial fixed investments in common assets such as production facilities or R&D. The fixed cost depends solely on the level of the highest quality, and the invested asset is shared among all the qualities in th...

Eggshell quality is the main trait to assess egg quality. Marker assisted selection can be used to improve this trait. During eggshell formation, a mass of inorganic minerals is deposited. The Sodium Channel (SCNN1) gene family plays an essential role in cation transportation and SCNN1g is a member of this gene family. The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of SCNN1g gene var...
