evaluation and improvement of drug management process is essential for patient safety. the present study was performed whit the aim of assessing risk of drug management process in women surgery department of qeh using hfmea method in 2013. a mixed method was used to analys failure modes and their effects with hfmea. to classify failure modes; nursing errors in clinical management model, for cla...

failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a method based on teamwork to identify potential failures and problems in a system, design, process and service in order to remove them. the important part of this method is determining the risk priorities of failure modes using the risk priority number (rpn). however, this traditional rpn method has several shortcomings. therefore, in this paper we p...

this study evaluates two different types of techniques for concrete hollow-block sections reinforced with traditional steel rebars and wire meshes, and compares their structural behaviour to that of an ordinary reinforced concrete beam section. the comparisons are based on the responses both before and after they were repaired with glass fibre reinforced polymers (gfrp). the specimens were subj...

The paper presents a multi-factor decision-making approach for prioritizing failure modes as an alternative to traditional approach of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The approach is based on the ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’ (TOPSIS). The priority ranking is formulated on the basis of six parameters (failure occurrence, non-detection, maintainability...

One of the most conventional toppling instabilities is the block-flexural toppling failure that occurs in civil and mining engineering projects. In this kind of failure, some rock columns are broken due to tensile bending stresses, and the others are overturned due to their weights, and finally, all of the blocks topple together. A specific feature of spheroidal weathering is the rounding of th...

The current electricity demand is increasing, and now the government has involved third parties in the implementation of electricity so that investors compete in building infrastructure in order to apply electricity. Thermal power is one source that has a fast break event point compared to other resources that more interested investors even with all forms of pollution caused. A form of heat pow...
