This paper provides the framework for a payment plan based on inspection results in the delegation of inspection agencies. The paper deals with two cases—that in which one inspector checks the quality of the inspection object (e.g., a design drawing of building) and that in which two inspectors check it simultaneously. The paper points out the applicability of a penalty only in the framework wi...

Previous research indicates that as much as 90% of aircraft inspection is visual. Hence, where inspectors look is critical, potentially impacting inspection performance. Moreover, it has been shown that there are vast differences in performance between experienced and novice inspectors. Training on the task leads to superior coverage of the search area, better detection of defects, and improved...

Inspection is a widely known technique to detect faults in requirements document. It helps manager by early detection and removal of faults. Much of the cost can be saved by detecting faults during the inspections of early software artifacts as compared to testing in later stages of development. Our research utilizes a Learning Style – LS concept (coined by psychologists that refer to individua...

background: objective structured clinical examination (osce) is one of the most preferable means of evaluating cognitive, emotional and psychomotor aspects of nursing students. the present study was designed to determine the reliability and validity of osce in evaluating clinical skills of nursing students. materials and methods: for this descriptive evaluative study, 10 different skills of nur...

There is an urgent need for accurate and inexpensive handheld instruments for the evaluation of medicine quality in the field. A blinded evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of the Counterfeit Detection Device 3 (CD-3), developed by the US Food and Drug Administration Forensic Chemistry Center, was conducted in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Two hundred three samples of the oral antimal...

Capture-recapture (CR) models have been proposed as an objective method for controlling software inspections. CR models were originally developed to estimate the size of animal populations. They have also been used to estimate the number of defects in an inspected artifact. Armed with this estimate, one can decide whether the artifact requires a reinspection to ensure that a minimal inspection ...

On-line carcass inspection of chickens in the United States is currently done using visual (organoleptic) methods. Inspectors from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) inspect the viscera and carcass and, for older birds, the heads using a sequence of observations and palpations at a postmortem inspection station. The streamlined inspection system (SIS) and the new line speed insp...

Inspections of software artifacts during early software development aids managers to detect early faults that may be hard to find and fix later. While inspections are effective, evidence suggests that inspection abilities of individuals vary widely which affect overall inspection effectiveness. Cognitive psychologists have used Learning Styles (LS) to measure an individual’s characteristic stre...
