Purchase intention is the key to popularizing battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and to developing the industry. This study combines classical theoretical and qualitative research, and applies fault tree analysis (FTA) methods to study factors that hinder BEV purchase, and identify the logical relationship between top fault events and basic events, by calculating minimal cut sets and minimal path...

background: the study was developed in order to find a subset of potential factors, which affect birth distance pattern, regarding consideration on correlation of events of birth in a family and correlation within clusters/centers which other studies omit these correlations. methods: referring to documents that were registered for family in the health care centers on socio-economical zone, we c...

A bipartite monoid is a commutative monoid Q together with an identified subset P ⊂ Q. In this paper we study a class of bipartite monoids, known as misère quotients, that are naturally associated to impartial combinatorial games. We introduce a structure theory for misère quotients with |P| = 2, and give a complete classification of all such quotients up to isomorphism. One consequence is that...

errors prevention and patient safety in transfusion medicine are a serious concern. errors can occur at any step in transfusion and evaluation of their root causes can be helpful for preventive measures. root cause analysis as a structured and systematic approach can be used for identification of underlying causes of adverse events. to specify system vulnerabilities and illustrate the potential...
