In the previous two Chapters, we proposed fraction nonconforming nonparametric control charts to monitor process location and process variability. It is also shown that performance of proposed control charts are superior to that of the Shewhart X and sign charts. If process is running in an in-control state for a long period, it will reach in steady-state mode. In order to characterize long-ter...

Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at greater risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma than the general population and aggressive B-cell lymphoma has become one of the most common of the initial acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining illnesses. This review considers the prognostic factors and new approaches to the treatment of patients with AIDS-related lym...

Presynaptic assembly requires the packaging of requisite proteins into vesicular cargoes in the cell soma, their long-distance microtubule-dependent transport down the axon, and, finally, their reconstitution into functional complexes at prespecified sites. Despite the identification of several molecules that contribute to these events, the regulatory mechanisms defining such discrete states re...

Designs of the double sampling (DS) X chart are traditionally based on the average run length (ARL) criterion. However, the shape of the run length distribution changes with the process mean shifts, ranging from highly skewed when the process is in-control to almost symmetric when the mean shift is large. Therefore, we show that the ARL is a complicated performance measure and that the median r...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of AIDS-related lymphoma (ARL) is increasing in South Korea. The aim of this study is to identify the clinical features of ARL in South Korea. METHODS From 1998 through 2006, we retrospectively analysed a total of 23 cases of ARL from seven institutions. RESULTS The patients consisted of 20 males and 3 females at a median age of 40 (range, 20-72) on diagnosis of AI...

We investigate the effects of both busyness audit committee (AC) members and chairs on report lag (ARL) among Saudi non-financial firms between 2018 2021. In this study, a sample comprising total 515 firm-year observations from 140 was used. Measures for AC chairs, as well measure ARL, were derived previous literature to examine these relationships in Arabia. Our findings, based two regression ...

Software engineering development is crucial for industrial and commercial applications as systems are required to operate in increasingly complex, distributed, open, dynamic, unpredictable, and inherently highly interactive environments. This work is being motivated by the need to engineer complex systems with autonomous entities, to manage systems’ inherent complexity during analysis, design a...

A distribution-free tabular CUSUM chart is designed to detect shifts in the mean of an autocorrelated process. The chart’s average run length (ARL) is approximated by generalizing Siegmund’s ARL approximation for the conventional tabular CUSUM chart based on independent and identically distributed normal observations. Control limits for the new chart are computed from the generalized ARL approx...

Advances in methods and techniques for software engineering are crucial for industrial and commercial applications, as these systems are required to operate in increasingly complex, distributed, open, dynamic, unpredictable, and inherently highly interactive environments. This article presents Agent Role Locking (ARL) theory supported by a case study as an example of engineering complex systems...

The company's financial performance for each period is always reported in the form of audited reports, especially companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). In submission audit report, there a time difference between end fiscal year and date issuance which called report lag. factors that affect lag include company size (Size), Return On Assets (ROA), Financial Distress (FD) Public Acco...
