In this paper we introduce a new sequential sampling plan based on sequential probability ratio test for fuzzy hypotheses testing. In order to deal with uncertainty happened, the triangular fuzzy number (TFN) is used to express the fuzzy phenomenon of the sampling plan’s parameters. In this plan the acceptable quality level (AQL) and the lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) are TFN. For such ...

For voice handicapped people, an easy to use voicing aid device is wanted. In mobile telephony, so-called non-speaking speech communication is an expected solution for essential privacy as well as for acoustic nuisance prevention. The study introduced here intends to cover both issues, introducing a system where the whispering (non-speaking voice or talk without vocal fold activation) signal is...

The problem of extending monoprocessor methods to multiprocessors for scheduling soft aperiodic tasks has been addressed and evaluated in previous works, where the most usual goal for aperiodic tasks is minimising response times. This paper introduces a new problem where the goal for aperiodic tasks is guaranteeing their deadlines. Guaranteeing aperiodic deadlines is done using an acceptance te...

Suppose there are d diploids and m tetraploids. In the language of [2], there are m models h = 1, h = 2, . . . h = m, where h is the number of hybridizations. Each model has a different number of parameters. Let W be the network topology and node times. The conditional priors π(W |h) must be comparable for different values of h in order to calculate the correct acceptance ratios when jumping be...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether general practitioner visits for alcohol-attributed diseases increased in a decade when several regulatory changes were made to the distribution and price of alcohol in British Columbia Canada. METHODS General practitioner consultations for alcohol-attributed diseases were examined using data from British Columbia's Medical Services...

UNLABELLED Reducing poor-rich inequities in health is one of the priorities of both national and international organizations and is also one of the main challenges of health sectors in Iran. Since, in the view of policy making, quantifying the size of inequity in health care utilization (HCU) is a prerequisite for achieving this goal, the current study aimed to determine and compare the socioec...

BACKGROUND No specific psychotherapy for adult anorexia nervosa (AN) has shown superior effect. Maintenance factors in AN (over-evaluation of control over eating, weight and shape) were addressed via Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The study aimed to compare 19 sessions of ACT with treatment as usual (TAU), after 9 to 12 weeks of daycare, regarding recovery and risk of relapse up to fi...

However, this increase may not translate into acceptance of CAM in the perioperative setting. We surveyed caregivers of patients undergoing surgery to determine their knowledge and acceptance of hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and music therapy a...
