In this study, a sizing system is proposed specifically for school-aged children in Malaysia. The sampling frame is based on the female population in the age group 7-17. For this study, 1001girls have been selected randomly from 29 different schools in urban and rural districts of Malaysia. Principal component analysis is used for key dimensions determination. Data mining has been done to devel...

This document gives information about water resistant property of paper i.e. sizing. It gives details of sizing materials and requirement of properties for different printing methods.

the problem of lot sizing, sequencing and scheduling multiple products in flow line production systems has been studied by several authors. almost all of the researches in this area assumed that setup times and costs are sequence –independent even though sequence dependent setups are common in practice. in this paper we present a new mixed integer non linear program (minlp) and a heuristic meth...

OBJECTIVES The precise sizing of the aortic annulus is crucial in order to select the most appropriate valve size for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Owing to the closed heart situation in TAVI, sizing has to be performed based on preoperative imaging when compared with direct sizing during conventional procedures. The aim of the study was to evaluate valve sizing performed eith...

The classical lot, sizing model deals with economic lot sizing for production in a deterministic framework. In real life, various forms of uncertainty affect the production. These include machine breakdown, quality variations, and so on. This paper develops a model with unreliable production systems and under alternative repair option strategies. @ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved...

Often lot sizing and scheduling models have neglected the consideration of influence of product life cycles (PLCs). But, accordingly as desirable in a firm’s production strategy, decisions of lot sizing scheduling may have to respond to the stage changes in a product’s life cycle. In this paper, we propose an extension of the lot sizing scheduling, the multi-item, multi-level product-structure...

Looking at the distribution of the costs of IT, the largest part of the budget is allocated to maintenance and enhancement projects. New development comprises between 30 to 50% of IT costs. Functional size measurement methods are mostly used for new development only. With some extensions to common size measurement methods like Function Point Analysis [1] and COSMIC Full Function Point [2] one c...

Estimating the size of OO software is the main issue today in project planning and development. Accurate estimation of size may lead to precise prediction of effort during the process of system development. Predictive Object Point POPs are a metric designed specifically for estimating the size of object oriented software. But there is no direct relation between POP and Software size. In this pa...
