business process reengineering (bpr) –the key mechanism for fundamental redesign in processes has a critical role in productivity improvement. but it needs some enablers in initiation phase including human resources acceptance. there are two behavioral theories containing factors for acceptance promotion: innovation diffusion and technology acceptance model. in this research we have used these ...

this study tries to examine the factors affecting nutrition disorders among postgraduate students of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the data was analyzed through survey method and optimal stratified sampling, and multiple and logistic regression with the sample size of 260 girl students of postgraduate levels. the results show that eating disorders mean is 2.22 out of 5 which is less than aver...

Acceptance control charts are effective tools tomonitor capable processes in which the fraction of the produced nonconforming items is very low. In these charts, some controlled changes in the process mean are allowed, and the production of a specified number of defectives is tolerated. Designing these acceptance control charts by considering the cost of sampling, detecting, and investigating o...

In this paper, a reliability acceptance plan is developed assuming that the lifetime of a product follows the generalized Rayleigh distribution with known value of the shape parameter. We obtain test termination ratio by considering the producer’s risk for given values of the sample size and the acceptance number. A comparison of proposed sampling plan has been made with an existing acceptance ...

In this article, a novel acceptance-sampling plan is proposed to decide whether to accept or reject a receiving batch of items. In this plan, the items in the receiving batch are inspected until a nonconforming item is found. When the sum of two consecutive values of the number of conforming items between two successive nonconforming items falls underneath of a lower control threshold, the batc...

background: this study evaluated the reproductive health rights, women empowerment and gender equity in a rural area of bangladesh. methods: three hundred married women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in meherpur district, bangladesh were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and purposing sampling techniques. the logistic regression analysis was used to determine the dominating factor...

The ranked set sampling method has been made more inclusive in this paper. In order to estimate the quartile of Laplace distribution, generalized technique is used. Two key factors are taken into account for new course action: data selected using Quartile Ranked Set inspecting plan from a significant portion, and lifetime test units acknowledged follow summary noteworthy dissemination. base num...

We present Ymer, a tool for verifying probabilistic transient properties of stochastic discrete event systems. Ymer implements both statistical and numerical model checking techniques. We focus on two features of Ymer: distributed acceptance sampling and statistical model checking of nested probabilistic statements.
