Much of the data in service industries comes from processes having nonnormal or unknown distributions. The commonly used Shewhart variable control charts, which depend heavily on the normality assumption, are not appropriately used here. We propose a new variance control chart based on...

We give a computer free proof of the Deligne, Cohen and deMan formulas for the dimensions of the irreducible g-modules appearing in g, k ≤ 4, where g ranges over the exceptional complex simple Lie algebras. We give additional dimension formulas for the exceptional series, as well as uniform dimension formulas for other representations distinguished by Freudenthal along the rows of his magic cha...
