The aim of this article is to present “a closer look” at the management theory of “Six Sigma Quality” and to contrast it with the management theory of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. This paper will offer a perspective that the critical differences between “Six Sigma Quality” and the teachings of Dr. Deming are not technical, but rather philosophical in nature. This explanation briefly compares the tech...

This paper investigates the problem of frequencyweighted l2-sensitivity minimization subject to l2-scaling constraints for two-dimensional (2-D) state-space digital filters described by the Roesser model. It is shown that the FornasiniMarchesini second model can be imbedded in the Roesser model. Two iterative methods are developed to solve the constrained optimization problem encountered. The f...

This article analyzes, througha postcolonial perspective, the literary works Foeand Youth, both written by J. M. Coetzee. It problematizes concept of mimicry as presented Homi K. Bhabha in his essay “Of and man: The ambivalenceof colonial discourse”. Analyzing actions characters John Friday, it becomes possible to perceive how they resort strategies attempt resist Western discourses power. Cons...

The simple group F of order 168 which first occurred in the work of Galois around 1830 reappeared in two geometric contexts later in the 19th century. It arose in Felix Klein's investigation in 1877 of a Riemann surface of genus 3 which admits F as its group of conformal homeomorphisms. This is the least genus for which Hurwitz's 84(g—1) bound is attained. (See [6] for an interesting historical...

We present several results on the compactness of space morphisms between analytic spaces in sense Berkovich. show that under certain conditions source, every sequence maps having an affinoid target has a subsequence converges pointwise to continuous map. also study class arise this way. Locally, they turn be after base change. Our naturally lead definition normal families. give some application...

Transcriptional pausing by RNA polymerase (RNAP) plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Defined, sequence-specific pause sites have been identified biochemically. Single-molecule studies have also shown that bacterial RNAP pauses frequently during transcriptional elongation, but the relationship of these "ubiquitous" pauses to the underlying DNA sequence has been uncertai...

Vacation queueing models have wide range of application in several areas including computer-communication, and manufacturing systems. A finite-butTer single-server queue with renewal input and multiple exponential vacations has been analysed by Karaesmen and Gupta (1996). In this paper we extend the analysis to cover the batch arrivals. i.e. we consider a batch alTiva! single-server queue with ...

In this study, solution enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluids (SEDS) technique was applied for the preparation of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) loaded Eudragit S100 (EU S100) nanoparticles. The effects of various process variables including pressure, temperature, 5-ASA concentration and solution flow rate on morphology, particle size, 5-ASA loading and entrapment efficiency of nanoparticl...

We introduce a separability condition for the states of fermion lattice systems. It shares similar characterizations about the state correlation between a pair of disjoint subsystems with that for the tensor-product systems. We propose two seemingly natural non-separable degrees for the fermion lattice system based on our generalization of the entanglement of formation to an arbitrary, namely n...
