Manufactured parts differ from ideal shape. Therefore tolerances are used in product development in order to constrain the admissible deviations. The impact of tolerances is analyzed in different ways. It is common to employ Monte Carlo Sampling in order to obtain a statistical result by the iterative evaluation of the functional relationship. In contrast to this, Robust Design has established ...

One-way analysis of covariance is a popular and common statisticalmethod, wherein the equality of the means of several random variables whichhave a linear relationship with a random mathematical variable, is tested. Inthis study, a method is presented to improve the one-way analysis of covari-ance when there is an uncertainty in accepting the statistical hypotheses. Themethod deals with a fuzzy...

Abstract Cold resistance of fruit tree buds is very important. Climate change brings unstable winters, and the temperature often fluctuates creates many problems in growing. Research on bud cold damage was conducted during three years (2019–2021) at Institute Horticulture. Three Latvian plum cultivars, ‘Ance’, ‘Adelyn’, ‘Sonora’, were studied, while cultivar ‘Jubileum’ used as a control. This s...

The perform ance and stability of a slotted direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access (DSSSMA) packet radio network employing the type-II hybrid automatic-repeatrequest (ARQ) protocol with ® nite-length transm itter buffers are considered. The equilibrium point analysis (EPA) technique is employed to analyze the system stability and to approxim ately compute the system throughput, delay, ...

In light of concerns about rising pharmaceutical expenditures, managed care organizations call upon clinical pharmacists to include economic factors in their decisions regarding product selections for formulary inclusion. Good decisions increase the likelihood of achieving the desired bal, ance between providing high-quality care and containing overall health care' costs. Given time limitations...
