Monitoring inhomogeneous Poisson processes with varying sample sizes has attracted considerable attention recently in both industrial quality control and public health surveillance. One of the key challenges in these applications is that a change in incidence rate may be masked by changes of sample sizes. The conventional Poisson cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart designed for detecting a pre-specifi...

Our previous work studied a size-aware type system for functional programs with non-monotonic polynomial size dependencies. In that approach output sizes depended only on input sizes. That is rather restrictive since in many cases the size of the output can differ for different input data of the same size. In this paper we remove that limitation by presenting value-sensitive size dependencies v...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...

  Background: Educational clinical environment has an important role in nursing students' learning. Any difference between actual and expected clinical environment will decrease nursing students’ interest in clinical environments and has a negative correlation with their clinical performance.   Methods : This descriptive cross-sectional study is an attempt to compare nursing students'perception...

Given a causal model of some domain and a particular story that has taken place in this domain, the problem of actual causation is deciding which of the possible causes for some effect actually caused it. One of the most influential approaches to this problem has been developed by Halpern and Pearl in the context of structural models. In this paper, I argue that this is actually not the best se...
