Most for-profit organisations must constantly improve their business strategies and approaches to remain competitive. Many of them choose to embark on Lean or Six Sigma journeys with the intention of maximising productivity and increasing sales. Despite a significant progress in the development of the Big 3 Improvement Methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints – TOC), many manufacturers are still involved in ineffective operations, resulting in longer-than-desired lead times

Developed nanostructures have demonstrated improved by order gas sensitivity toward H2 and CO and drastic increase of selectivity to H2 against CO. Obtained results are discussed from the point of view of NiO/SnO2 heterojunction formation and its influence on electrical transport through nanowire and nanowire interaction with target gases.

In the measurement of mutual capacitance between electrodes both the coupling and the leakage effect contribute to the measurement result whereas the leakage mode is dominant in the self capacitance mode. While the coupling effect is mainly defined by the geometry and material distribution close to the electrodes, the root cause or modulation of the leakage effect may be far away from the electrode. It is shown that utilizing both effects may lead to an improvement of an ECT-like scenario

In addition, with reducing dimensions due to improvement in fabrication, these sensors have the potential to measure bacterial level masses. This paper reviews some of the research directions

This paper mainly studies AR model of parametric modeling in the modern spectral estimation, and then uses the simulation between the classical power spectral estimation and modern power spectral estimation for comparison, verifies the analysis of the modern power spectral estimation based on ARmodel is more accurate than the classical power spectral estimation.

Acceptance sampling plans are statistical procedures that are used for quality control and improvement in cases where it is not possible to test every item in a lot of materials. The outcome of this test determines whether the entire lot is accepted or rejected based on a random sample. In this procedure, an important characteristic of the materials is their lifetime sampling distribution, and this can vary from sample to sample. In this article, a new lifetime distribution, known as an Ishita

The rapid estimation of TF and TR thus may resolve the problem of
