Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is one of user friendly and handy tool available in the hands of the process industries to identifying and eliminating the potential failures in systems, processes and designing. In this FMEA method prioritization of the failure modes are based on Risk Priority Number (RPN). This RPN can be calculated by multiplying the scores of various risk factors and cate...

Despite of the popularity of the fuzzy Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology, there are several limitations in combining the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) model. Two main limitations are: (1) it is difficult and impractical to form a complete fuzzy rule base when the number of required rules is large; and (2) fulfillment of the monotonicity prope...

Objective. To report the perioperative outcomes of patients treated with partial nephrectomy by a single surgeon using three surgical modalities-open, laparoscopic, and robotic. Methods. Between August 2006 and February 2012, 106 consecutive patients underwent open partial nephrectomy (OPN) (n = 23), laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) (n = 48), and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) (n = 35)...

There was no history of diabetes, sickle cell anaemia Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) is a clinicopathological nephrolithiasis, sarcoidosis, or exposure to tubercuentity characterized by necrotic lesions of the kidney losis. He had no unusual environmental or occupaconfined to the distal parts of the pyramids. The first tional chemical exposures and there had been no description dates back to 18...

Allogromia laticollaris, a benthic marine foraminifer, extends numerous trunk filopodia that repeatedly branch, anastomose, and fuse again to form the reticulopodial network (RPN), within which an incessant streaming of cytoplasmic particles occurs. The motion of the particles is saltatory and bidirectional, even in the thinnest filopodia detected by optical microscopy. Fibrils are visible by d...

INTRODUCTION Failure Mode Effects and Criticalities Analysis (FMECA) represents a prospective method for risk assessment in complex medical practices. Our objective was to describe the application of FMECA approach to intraoperative electron beam radiotherapy (IOERT), delivered using a mobile linear accelerator, for the treatment of early breast cancer as an anticipated boost. MATERIALS AND M...

The reproductive system regulates lifespan in insects, nematodes and vertebrates. In Caenorhabditis elegans removal of germline increases lifespan by 60% which is dependent upon insulin signaling, nuclear hormone signaling, autophagy and fat metabolism and their microRNA-regulators. Germline-deficient C. elegans are also more resistant to various bacterial pathogens but the underlying molecular...

Our algorithm combines the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) and expression tree algorithms it is a novel method for efficiently evaluating arithmetic expressions. The benefits of Expression Trees to provide practical efficient solution expressions in both infix postfix notation. first converts notation RPN, which then used construct an tree. evaluated using recursive function that traverses perfor...
