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. …”

Synergistic effects in hydrodynamic cavitation abrasive finishing for internal surface-finish enhancement of additive-manufactured components by Nagalingam, Arun Prasanth, Yuvaraj, Hemanth Kumar, Yeo, Swee Hock

“…The microabrasives present in the cavitating flow enhanced the erosion favorably, creating a synergistic effect that resulted in significantly improved material removal and surface finish quality. The findings suggest that the synergistic effects in hydrodynamic cavitation abrasive finishing are effective in enhancing the material removal and surface finish quality of AM components.…”

Autonomous ships : evolution or revolution? by Keh, Cassandra Xiao Ting

“…It offers information on the economic advantages of autonomous vessels. Mainly, the findings reflect an economic potential. The operating cost of an unmanned vessel is about 1.4 times lower than that of a conventional manned vessel and yields a time charter equivalent that is about 2.1 times higher than a manned vessel. …”

Combining stratigraphy and tectonics to understand intermittent deposition on the outer rise offshore Sumatra, Indonesia by Tan, Li Ching

“…This robust method of estimating deep sea sediments could be applied to other subduction margins to investigate the interplay of climate and sedimentology. Such findings are rarely documented by cores worldwide since the materials are situated offshore below 4 km water depth, where physical samples are inaccessible. …”

Information extraction from bibliography data by Leong, Kai Ling

“…As such, this project concludes that those in the field of Computer Science and the general audience, do not share the same trends. With this finding, the academia, organisations, and other stakeholders should consider the field of Computer Science and the general audience to be separate communities and may have different growth direction in the observed research topics.…”

Machine translation of English relative clauses to Chinese in commercial contracts -- a contrastive evaluation of the outputs by SYSTRAN translate, Baidu translate and Google trans... by Li, Yidi

“…When generating relative clauses, the MT tools tended to prepose attributes regardless of their lengths, generate wrong identifications of the headwords, neglect relative clauses, and choose expressions with inaccurate meanings and overlong premodifiers. The findings shed light on MT issues in dealing with relative clauses, which helps developers to better improve their systems.…”
