The GEBCO and NOAA Chart Adequacy Workshop

Asteroid Generated Tsunami: Summary of NASA/NOAA Workshop

Centenary Edition of the GEBCO Digital Atlas USER GUIDE TO THE GEBCO ONE MINUTE GRID

Generation of the grid was co-ordinated by Michael Carron (presently at NATO SACLANT Undersea Research Centre) with major input provided by the gridding efforts of Bill Rankin and Lois Varnado at the US Naval Oceanographic Office, Andrew Goodwillie and Peter Hunter at Southampton Oceanography Centre. Significant regional contributions were also provided by Martin Jakobsson (University of New Ha...

On the Efficiency and Adequacy of L2 Instruction and Input

The present study was planned to investigate the efficiency of explicit teaching and adequacy of the L2 learners' exposure to L2 input in academic contexts in Iran. The case at hand was the acquisition of referential, quasi and expletive subject pronouns, as three different types of obligatory subjects in English. 96 Iranian EFL learners were selected from two universities in Isfahan. They were...

Max Chart: Combining X-bar Chart and S Chart

Control chart techniques have been widely used in industries to monitor a process in quality improvement. Whenever we deal with variables data, we usually employ a combination of X-bar chart and R chart (or S chart) to monitor both the center and the spread of the process. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative, that is, we design a single chart to monitor both the center and the spread...

C-chart, X-chart, and the Katz Family of Distributions

In statistical process control, the primary method used to monitor the number of nonconformities is the c-chart. The conventional c-chart is based on the assumption that the occurrence of nonconformities in samples is well modeled by a Poisson distribution. When the Poisson assumption is not met, the X-chart (individuals chart) is often used as an alternative charting scheme in practice. In thi...
