This article first analyzes the feasibility of integrated management system, and then classifies the integration methods of integrated management system from different perspectives, namely, from the system level and the operational level. And it analyzes the application and the advantages or disadvantages of a variety of integrated methods, indicating that the more common situation at present i...

Downloaded from http://www.ele This paper presents a PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) method of improving web-based intelligent reports of an e-learning system as intelligent system, which was created and implemented at the Technical Faculty in Cacak, University of Kragujevac. The focus is on improving LMSs (Learning Management Systems) or e-learning systems by predicting behavior patterns of studen...

A tetranuclear complex and a 1-D coordination polymer with a ladder-like topology have been obtained by connecting [Ni(II)Dy(III)] nodes with dicarboxylato ligands: [Ni₂(valpn)₂Dy₂(III)(pdca)₂(NO₃)(H₂O)₆](NO₃)·4H₂O 1, and (∞)¹[Ni₂(H₂O)₂(valpn)₂Dy₂(tfa)₃]·4CH₃CN 2 (valpn²⁻ = the dianion of the Schiff base resulting from reacting o-vanillin with 1,3-propanediamine; pdca²⁻ = the dianion of 2,6-pyr...

A new method for the simultaneous separation and determination of mercury(II) with other heavy and transition metals by ion chromatography (IC) was developed. This method involves on-column derivatization with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA) and anion-exchange separation, followed by a post-column reaction with 2-[(5-bromo-2-pyridyl)-azo]-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) to form metal–5-B...

Purpose: of this paper is to introduce the reader to the characteristics of PDCA tool and Six Sigma (DMAIC, DFSS) techniques and EFQM Excellence Model (RADAR matrix), which are possible to use for the continuous quality improvement of products, processes and services in organizations. Design/methodology/approach: We compared the main characteristics of the presented methodologies aiming to show...

This paper presents a new approach for implementing an integrating quality, environment and security management system on the basis of three aspects: process-based approach, risk management and a global monitoring system used as integrating factors to satisfy three important levels of integration, namely, correspondence, coordination and integration. The different steps of the proposed approach...

The biochemical and morphological consequences of procollagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase inhibition by pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (2,4-PDCA) and its diethyl ester (diethyl-2,4-PDC) were studied in chick-embryo calvaria, which predominantly synthesize type I collagen. Half-maximal inhibition of tissue hydroxyproline formation required 650 microM-2,4-PDCA, whereas the Ki with respect to chicken pro...

The amino acid sequence of the mheA gene of Aspergillus oryzae encodes a putative metallothionein-like protein 1. The size of the mheA transcript was 497 nt and the mheA promoter was induced by glucose, consistent with results of analysis by Northern hybridization and with the pdcA promoter, respectively.
