objectives: this study aimed to assess the self-reported knowledge and attitude of dentists towards fluoride prescription. materials and methods: a questionnaire survey was conducted at the national annual dental congress in 2010 in tehran-iran. dentists’ level of knowledge about the preventive effects of systemic and topical administration of fluoride was assessed as well as their attitudes to...

An integrated method comprising DEA and machine learning for risk management is proposed in this paper. Initially, the process of assessment, cross-efficiency used to evaluate a set factors obtained from FMEA. This FMEA-DEA not only overcomes some drawbacks FMEA, but also eliminates several limitations offer high discrimination capability decision units. For treatment monitoring processes, an M...

We aimed to develop a new scale for evaluating risks and preventive measures for in-hospital falls of newborn infants, from admission to discharge of the expectant mother. Our study was prepared in accordance with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis criteria. The risks and preventive measures for in-hospital falls of newborns were determined. Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) were determined by multi...

BACKGROUND Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a risk management tool to proactively identify and assess the causes and effects of potential failures in a system, thereby preventing them from happening. The objective of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of FMEA applied to an academic clinical trial center in a tertiary care setting. METHODS A multidisciplinary FMEA focus group ...

Nowadays, because of the energy crisis, combined heat and power systems have notable benefits. One best devices is SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) which joins frameworks. Some considerable failure modes arise that can affect these devices’ productivity. Generally, evaluations need an experts team to achieve uncertainties belongs risk assessment procedure. To improve efficiency routine FMEA methodo...

Constructability analysis and the resulting adjustments in facility design have a significant potential in improving cost effectiveness of construction projects. However, traditional constructability knowledge acquisition techniques are the key barrier to successful constructability improvement. A new approach to automated constructability lessons-learned documentation and constructability anal...
