Objective Infection is a common condition in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The objective of the present study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of infections in adult patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). Methods Medical charts of 138 consecutive patients with PNS and infections who were admitted to hospital from April 2013 to April 2016 were systemat...

The cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart, well-known to be sensitive in detecting small and moderate parameter changes, is proposed here for monitoring a high yield process. The sensitivities of the CUSUM charts based on geometric, Bernoulli and binomial counts are compared. Based on the comparisons, recommendations for the selection of a chart are provided. Simple procedures are given for optimal desi...

The purpose of this article is to present an acceptance sampling plan based on cumulative count of conforming using minimum angle method. In this plan, if the number of inspected items until rth defective items is greater than an upper control threshold then lot is accepted and if it is less than a lower control threshold then the lot is rejected and if it is between control thresholds, process...

Conforming colorings naturally generalize many graph theory structures, including independent sets, vertex colorings, list colorings, H-colorings and adapted colorings. Given a multigraph G and a function F that assigns a forbidden ordered pair of colors to each edge e, we say a coloring C of the vertices is conforming to F if, for all e = (u, v), F (e) 6= (C(u), C(v)). We consider Markov chain...
