We introduce a spatio-temporal model to represent development of atmospheric pollution in an urban area. An important element this is that recorded measurements are often incomplete which undermines time-series approaches. identify the multiple imputation by chained equation (MICE) method as effective complete data sequences synthetically. Following on from this, we develop vector autoregressiv...

Nitrofurazone is one of the antibacterial nitrofuran agents used topically for skin infections. The drug is effective on the majority of infectious microorganisms. Because of the importance of this drug in clinic, in this study various methods of synthesis of nitrofurazone were examined and the most appropriate method, applicable to pharmaceutical industry was chosen and optimized from the poin...

In Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), computational delays can cause the controlled plant to exhibit degraded control. The traditional approach to scheduling in such systems has been to define controller task deadlines, based on the dynamics of the controlled plant. Controller tasks are then scheduled to meet these deadlines; meeting the deadline is considered the sole criterion for scheduling succe...

Recent research works have shown control statistics based on squared deviation of observations from target have the ability to monitor variability in both univariate and multivariate processes. In the current research, the properties of the control statistic t S that has been proposed by Huwang et al. (Journal of Quality Technology 2007; 39: 258-278) are first reviewed and three new t S -based ...

background: advances in treatment and critical care have largely improved the survival following burns; therefore, the importance of quality of life in burn patients is an issue beyond question. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of orem self-care program on quality of life of burn patients. methods: a randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 110 eligible burn patients w...
