Methods A retrospective study of chart analysis of 171 patients undergone to 220 OFC, between June/2007 and Feb/ 2014. Food tests comprised CM, egg, soy, peanuts, nuts, seafood, meat, chicken, tartrazine, chocolate, wheat and coconut. Patients were evaluated according to the type of CM’s challenge (open or double-blind placebocontrolled), aim of the procedure (diagnosis or follow up tolerance),...

Background: Children with developmental delays are often dependent on enteral nutrition. The aim of our study was to evaluate improvement in tolerance parameters in these children who were switched from an intact protein formula to a 100% whey, peptide-based formula. Methods: A retrospective chart review of children with developmental delays who were failing to reach adequate nutritional goals ...

Some of the most widely-investigated control charting techniques for autocorrelated data are based on time series residuals. If the mean shift in the autocorrelated process is a sudden step shift, the resulting mean shift in the residuals is time varying and has been referred to as the fault signature. Traditional residual based charts, such as a Shewhart, CUSUM, or EWMA on the residuals, do no...

CCC-r chart extended approach of CCC charts, is a technique applied when nonconforming items are rarely observed. However, it is usually assumed that the inspection process is perfect in the implementation control charts imperfect inspections may have a significant impact on the performance of the control chart and setting the control limits. This paper first investigates the ...

The efficient utilization of resources in accelerated materials science necessitates flexible, reconfigurable software-defined research workflows. We demonstrate a brokering approach to modular and asynchronous orchestration integrate multiple laboratories cooperative multitenancy platform across disciplines modalities. To the best our knowledge, this constitutes first internationally distribut...

Charts constitute a natural uniform architecture for parsing and generation provided string position is replaced by a notion more appropriate to logical forms and that measures are taken to curtail generation paths containing semantically incomplete phrases.

Control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. Generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. Optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...
