nowadays statistical control process plays an important role in quality control of products. so wide variety of methods are utilized to do so. but since the most percentage of available information in the discrete control charts are verbal terms, fuzzy and vague ,in most cases it is difficult for us to refine them into the quantitative data. thus in this article we are to change these verbal da...

In this paper, we present a method for performing isotropic and anisotropic adaptive computations. The discontinuous Galerkin method that is used for solving transient flow problem is briefly introduced. We show then a general scheme to compute high-order derivatives of discontinuous fields. The Hessian of the density is used for computing a correction indicator. We present three sample problem...

OBJECTIVE To develop and test a variety of electronic medical record (EMR) search algorithms to allow clinicians to accurately identify their patients with asthma in order to enable improved care. DESIGN A retrospective chart analysis identified 5 relevant unique EMR information fields (electronic disease registry, cumulative patient profile, billing diagnostic code, medications, and chart no...

OBJECTIVES To identify the administrative and nursing care activities most performed by nurses in clinical/surgical units and to determine which are most and least pleasant to them. METHODS A descriptive-exploratory field study, with a quantitative approach and with a sample made up of 40 nurses working in clinical/surgical units who answered a three-part questionnaire composed of identificat...

Diagnostic test orders to an animal laboratory were explored as a data source for monitoring trends in the incidence of clinical syndromes in cattle. Four years of real data and over 200 simulated outbreak signals were used to compare pre-processing methods that could remove temporal effects in the data, as well as temporal aberration detection algorithms that provided high sensitivity and spec...
