Quality control in orthodontics: indices of treatment need and treatment standards

British Dental Journal, 1991
Two reliable and valid occlusal indices have been developed to assess treatment need (Index of Treatment Need, IOTN) and the standard of treatment (The PAR Index, Peer Assessment Rating). The IOTN assesses both dental aesthetics and dental health need. The PAR index provides a single summary score for the overall alignment and occlusion. The difference

Methodology of Developing Mathematical Models for Quality Indices Control

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
It is proposed to set the structure of metal products quality as a hierarchical tree of properties. Input and output variables and also control parameters of technological processes are represented as universal multitudes in formalization of the process of production quality indices handling in hardware industry technologies. Presence of simultaneously

Fuzzy process capability indices for quality control of irrigation water

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2008
Water covers over 70% of the Earth surface and is a very important resource to people and the environment. Water pollution affects drinking water, rivers, lakes and oceans all over the world. This consequently harms human health and the natural environment. Water pollution can also affect the crops.

EXPRESS METHOD OF QUALITY CONTROL OF DRUGS BY AUTHENTICITY INDICATOR

Natural resources of the Earth and environmental protection, 2020
The work is devoted to the development of an express method of quality control according to the "authenticity indicator" for the drug "Anaferon". The spectra of micron vibration of the surface of the samples were obtained, based on the dependences of topological descriptors on time.

Application of non-normal process capability indices to semiconductor quality control

IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing, 1998
The definition and estimation of process capability indices are usually based on the assumption that the production process under investigation is characterized by a normal distribution; however, the case of nonnormal processes occurs frequently in practice, as, for example, in the semiconductor industry.

Guideline and quality indicators for development, purchase and use of controlled health vocabularies

International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2002
Developers and purchasers of controlled health terminologies require valid mechanisms for comparing terminological systems. By Controlled Health Vocabularies, we refer to terminologies and terminological systems designed to represent clinical data at a granularity consistent with the practice of today's healthcare delivery.

Clinical Interpretation of Indices of Quality of Glycemic Control and Glycemic Variability

Postgraduate Medicine, 2011
The practicing physician is faced with the task of interpreting>2 dozen indices of quality of glycemic control and glycemic variability. It would be desirable to have reference data from relevant patient populations (eg, patients with the same type of diabetes, duration of diabetes, therapeutic regimen, or glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] levels).
