Availability of dental materials (amalgam, composite, zinc oxide eugenol, glass ionomer cement and calcium hydroxide) and local structural factors affecting their availability (budgetary sufficiency, reliability, and timeliness in obtaining materials) were investigated using a numeric rating scale (NRS) with endpoints 0 (worst possible situation) to 10 (best possible situation).
Although MMT is a practical option for strength testing, its questionable reliability and subjective nature in obtaining strength measures has created an interest in alternative methods of strength testing [ 11].
Fast and accurate estimation of soft error rate (SER) is essential in obtaining the reliability parameters of a digital system in order to balance reliability, performance, and cost of the system.
The reliability of the seed house is an important factor in obtaining good-quality seed.
We demonstrated how the proposed model can be used in obtaining Pareto solutions for technicians' earned-value and reliability.
A quantitative analysis of bacteriologic cultures obtained by four standard sampling techniques demonstrated with statistical significance that no difference exists between techniques in terms of reliability or obtaining clinically significant pathogens.
Moments, moment generating function, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, mean and median deviations, and reliability are obtained in section 4. Section 5 contains results on the distribution of the order statistics and Renyi entropy.
This study revealed that high reliability indices obtained in the analysis would lead to reduced application of conservative safety factors on the plant equipment, which should result in lower capital and operating cost, through a more reliable assessment of its performance state over its service time, and lead to the optimisation of its inspection and maintenance interventions.
We specifically aimed at evaluating face and content validity of PQIs and at assessing measurement feasibility and reliability, in order to obtain PQIs ready for use in the assessment and improvement of quality within regional health administration boards of the public care system in Quebec, Canada.
The performance of the apex locator showed similar reliability obtained in previous Studies [ 10, 17- 21] in both tested methods in correlation to apical extent of root canal filling to the radiographic apex within a tolerance level of ± 0.5 mm from radiographic apex.
