The practice of 5S principles in manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has been widely discussed scientific studies related to the critical success factors (CSFs) challenges for improving organizational performance. importance performance measurement sustaining becomes a strategic value improvement process elimination waste. In previous studies, practices is commonly viewed as an au...

Actinomycete bacteria use polyprenol phosphate mannose as a lipid linked sugar donor for extra-cytoplasmic glycosyl transferases that transfer mannose to cell envelope polymers, including glycoproteins and glycolipids. We showed recently that strains of Streptomyces coelicolor with mutations in the gene ppm1 encoding polyprenol phosphate mannose synthase were both resistant to phage φC31 and ha...

In the past decade, supercomputing has witnessed a paradigm shift from massively parallel supercomputers to network computers. Though dedicated high end supercomputers still have their place in the market yet combined unused CPU cycles of desktop PCs available in the campus network can form comparable virtual supercomputers. Consequently, Parallel Processing in a network of PCs are attracted a ...

INTRODUCTION With PACS and medical imaging technology maturing, the importance of organizational maturity and effective deployment of PACS in the hospital enterprise are becoming significant. OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper is twofold. Firstly, PACS literature on maturity and evolvability in the hospital enterprise is analyzed, resulting in an overview of the relevant developments conce...

This paper reports on a fast implementation of the three-dimensional non-adaptive Parallel Multipole Method (PMM) on the Connection Machine system model CM{2. The data interactions within the decomposition tree are modeled by a hierarchy of three dimensional grids forming a pyramid in which parent nodes have degree eight. The base of the pyramid is embedded in the Connection Machine as a three ...

Abstract The article studies segmentation problem (also known as classification problem) with pairwise Markov models (PMMs). A PMM is a process where the observation and underlying state sequence form two-dimensional chain, it natural generalization of hidden model. To demonstrate richness class PMMs, we examine closer few examples rather different types PMMs: model for two related chains, that...

Q-rung orthopair uncertain linguistic sets (q-ROULSs) are a powerful tool for describing ambiguity and uncertainty of information. In this study, considering that in most multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, not only the quantitative evaluation information makers but also qualitative opinions should be considered. Therefore, we develop novel MAGDM method with unknown attribut...

Background: PIn air quality studies, it is very often to have missing data due reasons such as machine failure or human error. The approach used in dealing with can affect the results of analysis. main aim this study was review types mechanism, imputation methods, application some them PM10 and O3 Tabriz, compare their efficiency. Methods: Methods mean, EM algorithm, regression, classification ...

We report the first complete sequences of the protein osteocalcin from small amounts (20 mg) of two bison bone (Bison priscus) dated to older than 55.6 ka and older than 58.9 ka. Osteocalcin was purified using new gravity columns (never exposed to protein) followed by microbore reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Sequencing of osteocalcin employed two methods of matrix-assist...

Permanent Magnet Machines (PMM) with a phase number (m) higher than three allow redundancy and lower torque ripple compared to their three phase counterparts. In this paper, a six phase permanent magnet machine with surface rotor magnets, designed with fractional slot tooth winding is proposed. A stator design with fractional slot tooth winding allows the design of a compact machine through sho...
