The use of fast initial response features on the homogeneously weighted moving average chart with estimated parameters under the effect of measurement errors
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2021 , Article)Fast initial response (FIR) features are generally used to improve the sensitivity of memory-type control charts by shrinking time-varying control limits in the earlier stage of the monitoring regime. This paper incorporates ... -
An improved adaptive EWMA control chart for monitoring time between events with application in health sector
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2023 , Article)Nonconforming events rarely occur in high-quality processes, and the time between events ((Formula presented.)) is likely to be followed by a skewed distribution, such as an exponential distribution. This paper proposes ... -
Improved simple linear profiling method with application to chemical gas sensors
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2021 , Article)In industrial applications, a functional relationship between the quality characteristics of interest is well represented by profile functions. These are often characterized by linear or nonlinear relationships that depend ... -
Auxiliary-information-based efficient variability control charts for Phase I of SPC
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2020 , Article)The inclusion of correlated auxiliary variables into the monitoring scheme of quality characteristic of interest has gained notable attention in recent statistical process control (SPC) literature. Several authors have ... -
Efficient monitoring of coefficient of variation with an application to chemical reactor process
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2021 , Article)Control chart is a useful tool to monitor the performance of the industrial or production processes. Control charts are mostly adopted to detect unfavorable variations in process location (mean) and dispersion (standard ... -
Analysis of bioconvection and oxytactic microorganisms in a porous cavity with nano-enhanced phase change materials and quadrant heater: Application of support vector regression based model
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In this numerical study, two-dimensional simulations are performed to obtain the bioconvection flow in a quadrant heater located porous closed space saturated with nano-enhanced phase change material (NePCM). The Galerkin ... -
Application of solar PV in the building sector: Prospects and barriers in the GCC region
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Solar Photovoltaic (PV) can make a significant contribution towards reducing the energy and environmental footprint of buildings. Helped by features like scalability, ease of use, and declining price, PV has become the ... -
A framework for optimizing the supply chain performance of a steel producer
(2013 , Conference Paper)Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ... -
An LP model for optimizing a supply chain management system for steel company
( Newswood Limited , 2014 , Conference Paper)In this research, we have developed a linear programming formulation to describe Qatar steel manufacturing supply chain from suppliers to consumers. The purpose of the model is to provide answers regarding the optimal ... -
Long-term COVID-19 booster effectiveness by infection history and clinical vulnerability and immune imprinting: a retrospective population-based cohort study
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)BackgroundLong-term effectiveness of COVID-19 mRNA boosters in populations with different previous infection histories and clinical vulnerability profiles is inadequately understood. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness ... -
BNT162b2 antigen dose and SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in adolescents
( Elsevier , 2023 , Other)COVID-19 vaccine antigen dose might affect protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,1, 2 but direct evidence to quantify this effect is absent. We conducted a matched, retrospective, cohort study using a regression ... -
The general solution for the relativistic and nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation for the δ(n) -function potential in 1-dimension using cutoff regularization, and the fate of universality
( World Scientific Publishing , 2022 , Article)A general method has been developed to solve the Schrödinger equation for an arbitrary derivative of the δ-function potential in 1-d using cutoff regularization. The work treats both the relativistic and nonrelativistic ... -
The relevance of supply side taxation for attracting foreign direct investment to developing countries: evidence from Egypt
( University of New South Wales , 2021 , Article)Many developing countries commonly use tax incentives as a key instrument for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). Empirical studies have identified a causal relationship between FDI and a number of determinants ... -
