This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...

This paper expands upon concepts introduced in the SUGI31 paper "Version Control on the Cheap. A UserFriendly, Cost-Effective Revision Control System for SAS." Several examples specific to the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) are presented. Those concepts can be applied to other systems. The benefits of version control can be attained by individuals or scaled up to global programming teams. The...

Abstract The present study intended, firstly, to investigate the effect of web-integrated instruction on self-regulated learning ability in EFL writing, and secondly, to compare and contrast the effects of paper-based feedback and web-assisted feedback on the self-regulated learning ability. To this end, a quasi-experimental design was applied for both cases. In line with the first objective, ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated model of emotionally focused approach and gottman model on the quality of marital relationship in married women. in this study the quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and follow up with a control group were used. the study population included married women who went to tehransar health center, district 21. th...

The Stanford Satellite Systems Development Laboratory (SSDL) is currently investigating advanced satellite control technologies aimed at improved spacecraft system operations. One technique involves a unique real-time payload control strategy for satellites operating within a crosslinked constellation. This strategy effectively merges payload scheduling, traditionally considered a high level pl...

Guyana instituted a "find and treat" leprosy program in 1971 that made use of existing out-patient facilities and staff. The program, based on an integrated domiciliary approach to diagnosis, treatment, and examination of contacts, has proved successful. This article describes development of the program and discusses the prospects for control and eventual eradication of leprosy in Guyana.

In this paper the modeling of motion control system with Variable Structure System (VSS) theory using Matlab/Simulink and Caspoc is elaborated. The control is modeled in Simulink, while the power converter is modeled in Caspoc. This has advantages on both sides. Powerful toolboxes existing for Simulink can be used and the power electronics can be modeled in detail in the dedicated power electro...
