preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. if the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have been...

In the past, case study and questionnaire survey methodologies have often been used to analyze causes of marine accidents. One disadvantages these two methods is that they can only interpret specific one particular accident at a time. They cannot find common most Therefore, this integrates Automatic Identification System, Geographic Information an e-chart explore relationship between environmen...

PURPOSE To compare visual acuity (VA) assessed in healthy eyes and eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using three different logMAR charts: the Sloan letter European-wide chart, the tumbling E chart, and the Landolt C chart. METHODS Measurements on one eye of 40 volunteers (aged 29 ± 4 years) without visual impairment and 31 DR patients (aged 70 ± 9 years) with mild/moderate visual impairment...

Control chart techniques have been widely used in industries to monitor a process in quality improvement. Whenever we deal with variables data, we usually employ a combination of X-bar chart and R chart (or S chart) to monitor both the center and the spread of the process. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative, that is, we design a single chart to monitor both the center and the spread...

abstract. in recent years several studies have shown that  control charts with adaptive schemes or double sampling plans detect both small and moderate shifts in the process mean more quickly than the traditional shewhart  chart. in the classical double sampling  chart, the difference between two points were placed in the central region of first stage was not considered. in this study, a new co...

We present a new chart parsing method for Lambek grammars, inspired by a method for DTree grammar parsing. The formulae of a Lambek sequent are firstly converted into rules of an indexed grammar formalism, which are used in an Earley-style predictive chart algorithm. The method is non-polynomial, but performs well for practical purposes much better than previous chart methods for Lambek grammar...

Abstract: In this paper, the economic design of MSE control chart is extended to the multivariate case. The important feature of this control chart is that it uses the target value instead of the process mean. According to Taguchi's viewpoint, any deviation from the target value represents a kind of loss. Therefore, we construct the model of economic design by considering not only the control c...

In this paper, we present a state-machine based workflow system, named FlexFlow, which formally describes business processes with state charts. The FlexFlow system uses these descriptions to directly control the execution of the applications. We give a description of the FlexFlow process model and the underlying FlexFlow engine, and explain how FlexFlow can be used in commercial platforms for B...
