A 35-Year Analysis of Vegetation Cover in Rare-Earth Mining Areas Using Landsat Data by Zheng, Zhubin, Liu, Yuqing, Chen, Na, Liu, Ge, Lei, Shaohua, Xu, Jie, Li, Jianzhong, Ren, Jingli, Huang, Chao

“…To elucidate the spatio-temporal changes in vegetation within Dingnan County over the past 35 years and the effects of natural and human factors on these changes, the spatial and temporal variations in FVC were analyzed using Landsat-TM/OLI multispectral images taken in 1988, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2006, 2013, 2017, and 2023. The findings indicate that (1) vegetation coverage in Dingnan County decreased from 1988 to 2002, followed by a gradual increase; (2) high vegetation cover is predominantly found in forested areas that maintain their natural state, while the central town and mining areas exhibit generally low coverage; (3) there are regional differences in the relationship between vegetation cover and environmental factors in Dingnan County. …”

Design of EWMA control chart for minimizing the proportion of defective units by Shamsuzzaman, Mohammad, Wu, Zhang

“…The probability distribution of the random process shift (e.g. mean shift d) is taken into account that may be modeled by a Rayleigh distribution based on the sample data acquired during the operation of the control chart. Findings – The results of the comparison studies and an example show that the proposed MD-EWMA chart is significantly superior to the Shewhart-type MD-X¯ chart and the other EWMA charts in terms of the overall mean defective MD. …”

Heuristic control of multiple batch processors with incompatible job families and future job arrivals by Tajan, John Benedict C., Sivakumar, Appa Iyer., Gershwin, Stanley B.

“…This reduction in cycle time generally increases with: increasing number of job families, decreasing number of processors, and increasing time between job arrivals. Our findings imply that controlling the upstream processors, such that job families of consecutive job arrivals are correlated, can reduce the cycle time at the batch processing stage. …”
