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...

Multivariate control charts such as Hotelling`s T^ 2 and X^ 2 are commonly used for monitoring several related quality characteristics. These control charts use correlation structure that exists between quality characteristics in an attempt to improve monitoring. The purpose of this article is to discuss some issues related to the G chart proposed by Levinson et al. [9] for detecting shifts in ...

The understandably of State Chart Diagrams are important for the effective and clear communication among developers. In this paper we, propose a cohesion and coupling , as Average Cohesiveness of States (ACOS) and Average ...

Process control charts are proven techniques for improving quality. Specifying the control limits is the most important step in designing a control chart. The presence of outliers may extremely affect the estimates of parameters using classical methods. Robust estimators which are not affected by outliers or the small departures from the model assumptions are applied in this paper to specify th...

This paper presents the S-Chart framework, an approach for semantic image interpretation of line charts; and the InteliStrata system, an application for semantic interpretation of gamma ray profiles. The S-Chart framework is structured as a set of knowledge models and algorithms that can be instantiated to accomplish chart interpretation in all sorts of domains. The knowledge models are represe...

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...

approved: The purpose of t ~s~s to examineeinfluence of the immediate visual environment upon the sUbJect's responses to the Rorschach Inkblot Technique. There has been uncertainty about the nature of "projection" that occurs with the Rorschach. In other words, it is possible that the environment is contributing to the projection while being tested with the Rorschach. If this is the case, these...

BACKGROUND Medication errors are frequent and may cause harm to patients and increase healthcare expenses. AIM To explore whether a new labelling influences time and errors when preparing medications in accordance with medication charts in an experimental setting. METHOD We carried out an uncontrolled before and after study with 3 months inbetween experiments. Phase I used original labellin...
