Q-enhanced Filters have been researched extensively, but have not been often implemented into receiver architectures due to inherent challenges in the design and stability of these filters. However, recent works have ...

Wheat yield and quality is influenced by many abiotic and biotic environmental factors. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) occurs when physiologically matured spikes are exposed to wet field conditions before harvest, which results ...

This case study explored leadership behaviors that are perceived to have significant impact in the integration of technology at the secondary level in a Southwest Kansas school district. The study focused on the identification ...

Pork preblends held for 0, 4 or 7 d were formulated into smoked sausages and analyzed for cook yield, instrumental external color, pH, salt content, proximate analysis, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), thiobarbituric ...

Quality is a result of product design and production control. Product design must maximize the ability to function across variations in production and environment. Production control must monitor and maintain the key ...

Profile analysis has drawn attention in quality engineering applications due to the growing use of sensors and information technologies. Unlike the conventional quality characteristics of interest, a profile is formed ...

Heartbeat intervals (HBIs) vary over time, and that variance can be quantified as heart rate variability (HRV). HRV has several health-related applications including long-term health monitoring and sleep quality ...

HEB is a privately-held grocery retailer founded in 1905 in Kerrville, TX. Since then, HEB has grown to 399 stores in 155 communities. Although the majority of its operations have been in southern Texas, nearly 10 percent ...

Humanitarian and public health logistics systems are often characterized by decentralized decision makers in the form of response agencies who establish supply chains and the beneficiaries who access them. While classical ...

This research sets out to determine how varying factors such as electromagnetic fluid conditioning (EFC) and varying protein and sugar contents can influence yogurt and skim milks overall quality. EFC uses magnets to alter ...
