ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

In some statistical process control applications in the real world, quality of a process or a product is characterized by a relationship between two or more variables, which is referred to as profile. Understanding and checking the stability of process over time can be facilitated by monitoring the quality profile in phase I. Sometimes the quality characteristics may be linguistic, imprecise, v...

in this paper a novel process monitoring scheme for reducing the type і and type іі error rates in the monitoring phase is proposed. first, the proposed approach uses an augmented data matrix to implement the process dynamic. then, we apply independent component analysis (ica) transformation to the augmented data matrix, and eliminate the outliers using the local outlier factor (lof) algorithm....

  In an increasing number of practical situations, the quality of a process or product can be effectively characterized and summarized by a profile. A profile is usually a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables which can be modeled frequently using linear or nonlinear regression models. In this paper, we study the effect of non-normality on pro...

A control chart is one of the statistical process techniques that used to monitor different processes. Some processes are characterized by functions or profiles, and a profile functional relationship between dependent independent variable(s) quality process. Several research studies were conducted on linear profiling where only fixed effects considered. However, in this research, we focus rando...

 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...
