There is evidence of human settlement in Weston-super-Mare through the old and new stone ages into Roman times. The name Weston does not feature in the Domesday Book, but Westonsuper-Mare first appears in the Bath and Wells registry in 1348. The oldest buildings in the area are at Woodspring Priory, founded in 1210. Amongst these buildings is an Infirmary, built in the 15th century. Evidence su...

Monitoring multi-attribute processes is an important issue in many quality control environments. Almost all the priory proposed control charts utilize equal weights for each Attribute Quality Characteristics (AQCs). In such condition, there is no priority among AQCs. But in real-world, compensatory may exist. Hence due to some applied reasons such as function or efficiency, unequal weights for ...

Mathematical model for the integrated thermal apparatus was developed. It consists of program modules from which individual furnace model can be generated. For the model generation elementary balance method was used. Generation of the individual model includes model formulation and parameters determination. Model formulation is based on first principles, heuristics and empirical results. Parame...

While they use the language of game theory known measures of a priory voting power are hardly more than statistical expectations assuming voters behave randomly. Focusing on normalised indices we show that rational players would behave differently from the indices predictions and propose a model that captures such strategic behaviour.

The maximum likelihood approach to jointly model the survival time and its longitudinal covariates has been successful to model both processes in longitudinal studies. Random effects in the longitudinal process are often used to model the survival times through a proportional hazards model, and this invokes an EM algorithm to search for the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). Several intriguin...
