The control chart with cumulative count of conforming (CCC) items is very useful for high-quality processes. The current research of CCC chart performance with parameter estimation is focusing on the fixed sampling interval (FSI) scheme. In this paper, we investigate the effect of performance of...

The increasing demand for high energy density fuels and the concern for their safety have propelled research in the field of gelled propellants, where understanding the combustion of single gelled fuel droplets is the first stage to predict the spray combustion characteristics. The experiments...

This article studies the monitoring of the attribute events based on statistical computation and analyses. The size of an attribute event is an integer rather than a continuous variable. For example, the detection of a product lot containing defectives is an attribute event, the size of which is...

While many control charts have been developed for monitoring the time interval (T) between the occurrences of an event; many other charts are employed to examine the magnitude (X) of the event. This article presents a single statistical process control (SPC) chart (called the rate chart) for...

In the process of industrialization of tomato industry in Xinjiang, the cooperative models of rural households and tomato processing enterprises are order type, mediated type and workshop type. The contents, closeness degree and stability of cooperation of them are different. Under different...

A robust desirability function approach to simultaneously optimizing multiple responses is proposed. The approach considers the uncertainty associated with the fitted response surface model. The uniqueness of the proposed method is that it takes account of all values in the confidence interval...

A traffic accident can be considered as an example of the attribute events, and the number of the injured in each accident is called the event size. Some control charts have been developed for monitoring either the time interval (T) between the occurrences of an event or the event size (C) in...

The cooperation models appeared in the process of tomato industrialization in Xinjiang include orders, intermediary agencies and work-shops. The cooperation content, the closeness and the cooperation stability of these models are different from each other. From the local to the Corps in...

China’s urban agricultural development takes on stage evolution, and functional structure, customer structure, industrial organization, innovation activity, spatial form and industrial value of each stage has significant difference. Using the system variable analysis method, this paper...

This paper uses a set of unique data from Chinese listed companies to examine the influence of analyst coverage on corporate philanthropy. Results show that companies followed by more analysts engage in more philanthropy, which provides support for the reputational capital view of corporate...
