Baloui Jamkhaneh et al. (2008, 2009) have introduced a new acceptance sampling plan. In that plan the fraction of defective items is a fuzzy number. In this paper we introduce the average outgoing quality (AOQ) and average total inspect (ATI) for single sampling plan when that proportion nonconforming items is fuzzy number. We have shown that AOQ and ATI curves of the plan are like band having ...

Escape (termination of a meal) and token-based differential reinforcement of alternative behavior were used as reinforcement to increase acceptance of food. Using a changing criterion design, the number of bites accepted and consumed was gradually increased to 15 bites per meal. These data suggest that, in some cases, escape may be a potent reinforcer for food acceptance.

The explosion of Internet usage has drawn the attention of researchers towards online Social Networks Marketing (SNM). Research has shown that a number of the Internet users are distrustful and indecisive, when it comes to the use of social networks marketing system. Therefore, there is a need for researchers to identify some of the factors that determine users’ acceptance of social networks ma...

Advances in electronic banking technology have created novel ways of handling daily banking affairs, especially via the online banking channel. The acceptance of online banking services has been rapid in many parts of the world, and in the leading ebanking countries the number of e-banking contracts has exceeded 50 percent. Investigates online banking acceptance in the light of the traditional ...

The purpose of this paper is to present the Quality Interval acceptance single sampling plan when the fraction of nonconforming items is a fuzzy number and being modeled based on the fuzzy Poisson distribution. A new procedure for implementing Fuzzy logic in Quality Interval acceptance sampling plan has also been carried out.

Acceptance sampling (AS), as one of the main fields of statistical quality control (SQC),involves a system of principles and methods to make decisions about accepting or rejecting alot or sample. For attributes, the design of a single AS plan generally requires determination ofsample size, and acceptance number. Numerous approaches have been developed foroptimally selection of design parameters...

Prior research suggests that individuals’ technology acceptance levels may affect their performance outcomes when relying on technology in both work and learning environments. Most previous research investigating the relationship between individual attitudes towards technology and learning has been conducted in technology-intensive settings. In this study we investigate the relationship between...
