Statistical process control ($SPC$), an internationally recognized technique for improving product quality and productivity, has been widely employed in various industries. $SPC$ relies on the use of control charts to monitor a manufacturing process for identifying causes of process variation and signaling the necessity of corrective action for the process. Fuzzy data exist ubiquitously in the ...

Identification of potential genes/alleles governing complex seed-protein content (SPC) is essential in marker-assisted breeding for quality trait improvement of chickpea. Henceforth, the present study utilized an integrated genomics-assisted breeding strategy encompassing trait association analysis, selective genotyping in traditional bi-parental mapping population and differential expression p...

Docetaxel has been used as first-line chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), but further extensive and effective application is prevented by drug resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified as important posttranscriptional regulators, which are involved in various biological processes. The aim of this study was to identify microRNA expression profiles i...

This article is the first in a two-part series discussing and illustrating the application of statistical process control (SPC) to processes often examined by hospital epidemiologists. The basic philosophical and theoretical foundations of statistical quality control and their relation to epidemiology are emphasized in order to expand mutual understanding and cross-fertilization between these t...

Poor adherence to antihypertensive therapy is a major cause of poor blood pressure (BP) control in patients with hypertension. Regimen simplification may improve and BP control. This systematic review assessed whether single-pill combination (SPC) led improved adherence, persistence, better compared free-equivalent (FEC) PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library were searched until July 202...

The subtilisin-like proprotein convertases (SPCs) are a family of serine proteinases that process secreted proteins at single or paired basic residues. Each SPC has been localized in the rat anterior pituitary, implying their importance in precursor processing in this tissue. The cellular distribution of each SPC has not been established in each hormone-producing cell type. We used double label...

Subspace predictive control (SPC) is recently seen in the literature for joint system identification and control design. This combination enables automatically tuning the parameters in conventional model predictive control (MPC); and therefore provides a solution to the problem of fault tolerant MPC design. The existing SPCs either deal with open-loop data or depend on the information of the co...

Canine microsomal signal peptidase activity has been shown previously to co-migrate as an apparent complex of six polypeptides with molecular masses of 25, 23, 22, 21, 18, and 12 kDa. The 22- and 23-kDa species are differentially glycosylated forms of the same protein, designated SPC 22/23. The amino acid sequence of SPC 22/23 was deduced from cDNA clones. The protein is synthesized without a c...

In this paper, at first, a 24/16 three-phase switched reluctance motor is designed, then the rotor poles shape tips corrected for reduction ripple of single-phase torque waveform. By doing this, the single-phase torque waveform has a flat surface and consequently, the single-phase torque ripple is reduced. Also, due to the commutation between the machine phases, the torque drops during this tim...
