The research purpose was determination of luchs of hospital evaluation current way throght the comparission with ISO quality management standards and suggestion of a model to hospital standard development based on aquired findings. Materials & Methods: This research is a descripti...

Problem statement: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a set of international standards related to the software engineering, such as ISO 12207 and ISO 9126. However, there is a set of cross-references between the two standards. Approach: The ISO 9126 on software product quality and ISO 12207 on software life cycle processes had been analyzed to invistigate the rel...

BACKGROUND Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α, a marker of oxidative stress, is influenced by the activation of NOX2. It is unclear if platelets 8-iso-PGF2α contribute to urinary 8-iso-PGF2α. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, platelet, urinary, and serum 8-iso-PGF2α were determined in subjects with downregulation (X-linked chronic granulomatous disease [X-CGD], n=25) and upregulation (type II ...

reliability of a system is the probability that it will function as intended for the required period of time. the opposite of reliability is failure probability per unit time or over time, such as a life cycle. following a review of existing reliability codes and approaches, comprehensive approaches to assess the reliability of offshore structures are described, including probabilistic analysis...

the risks of fire and explosion in oil and gas industry need to be managed. the objectives of the present study were to assess the risk of fire and explosion in iso-max unit of tehran oil refinery using dow’s fire and explosion index and to study the influences of the controlling methods. the latest version of dow fire and explosion index guideline was applied to calculate the fire and explosio...

MARK C. PAULK Software Engineering Institute he Capability Maturity Model T Model for Software, developed by the Software Engineering Institute, and the ISO 9000 series of standards, developed by the International Organization for Standardization, have the common concern of quality and process management. The two are driven by similar issues and are intuitively correlated, but they differ in th...

In this paper, we describe the LIA system proposed for the MediaEval 2013 Crowdsourcing for Social Multimedia task. The aim is to associate an accurate label to an image among multiple noisy labels collected from a crowdsourcing platform. In particular, the task participants have to predict two types of binary labels for each considered image. The first one mentions that an image is truly fashi...
