We develop an optimization model based on Markovian approach to determine the optimum value of thresholds in a proposed acceptance sampling design. Consider an acceptance sampling plan where items are inspected and when the number of conforming items between successive defective items falls below a lower control threshold value, then the batch is rejected, and if it falls above a control thresh...

[Purpose] To study the correlation of the results obtained from different proprioception test methods, namely, the joint angle reset method, the motion minimum threshold measurement method, and the force sense reproduction method, performed on the same subjects' knees. [Subjects and Methods] Different proprioception test methods, the joint angle reset method, the motion minimum threshold measur...

Given a planar point set, we consider three classes of optimal triangulations: (1) the minimum weight triangulation with angular constraints (constraints on the minimum angle and the maximum angle in a triangulation), (2) the angular balanced triangulation which minimizes the sum of the ratios of the maximum angle to the minimum angle for each triangle and (3) the area balanced triangulation wh...

Abstract The refractive index (RI) of a solid depends on the illumination wavelength, temperature and material properties, such as chemical composition, crystal structure, isotropy. RI measurements, however, also depend environmental conditions, temperature, pressure, CO 2 concentration humidity surrounding air. As these conditions are not always reported, reported values often irreproducible. ...

in this paper, a novel neuro-fuzzy based method combined with a feature selection technique is proposed for online dynamic voltage stability status prediction of power system. this technique uses synchronized phasors measured by phasor measurement units (pmus) in a wide-area measurement system. in order to minimize the number of neuro-fuzzy inputs, training time and complication of neuro-fuzzy ...

A novel method for measuring very small capacitance changes based on capacitance-to-phase angle conversion is introduced in this article. This new method is the improved or linearized version of the nonlinear capacitance-to-phase angle conversion method. The main features of this scheme are the very good linearity, extremely high stray immunity and a very high resolution. The experimental resul...
