While quality has attracted significant attention in the past two decades, debate is still on as to whether a firm should aim for zero defects or base its decisions cost-benefit trade-offs. The continuous improvement advocates generally eschew cost trade-off approach, but U.S. firms, after spending substantial sums quality-related activities 1980s, appear be focusing again trade-offs and measures such return quality. This paper provides analytical support argument while relying analysis. We...
Abstract The strategic importance of learning curves has been recognized for a long time both in industry and academia, but little is known about the huge difference rates at which different firms learn. Recent theoretical studies anecdotal evidence from Japanese manufacturing suggest that quality‐related activities may be one major factor explaining rates. When impact quality on considered, three important questions arise: (1) How well does cumulative output defective or good units explain...
To assess the efficacy and safety of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) monotherapy.This post hoc pooled analysis 2 randomized double-blind studies (093-045 -046) included adults with partial-onset seizures medically uncontrolled by 1 or antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Following baseline period (8 weeks), eligible patients were 2:1 to receive ESL 1,600 mg 1,200 once daily for 18 weeks; primary endpoint was study exit meeting predefined criteria (signifying worsening seizure control). In each study,...
We sought to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for ultracentral thoracic tumors at our institution.
In Brief Background Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) may be at increased risk for Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) but factors and outcomes in this population have not been well studied. Methods An observational cohort study was conducted to determine the incidence, factors, of CDI KTR. A total 1816 KTR transplanted between 2000 2013 Toronto General Hospital were included. Sixty-eight patients developed CDI. Controls selected a 4:1 ratio using risk-set sampling, explored conditional...
A staged-framework for data preprocessing has been developed to support mining and help service providers identify customers who might switch a competitor. The framework pushes the cost sensitivity imbalance of customer retention into itself. Tests using set from ACM KDD Cup 1998 showed that outperformed winner knowledge discovery competition. also incorporated software system, called ED-Money. To demonstrate framework's ability predict attrition with high accuracy, it was applied some...
Abstract Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCL) is an understudied soft tissue sarcoma that typically affects young adults and accounts for 30% of all liposarcomas. MRCL characterized by oncogenic DDIT3 fusions, with FUS::DDIT3 being present in over 90% cases. However, the cellular origins mechanisms remain incompletely defined. Here we report oncogene transcription, tumor-immune interactions a cohort 5 patient tumors matched normal which sequenced transcriptomes approximately 45,000 single...
To confirm dose selection and rationale of using the reduction total immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels as a pharmacodynamic (PD) marker noninferiority for subcutaneous (SC) efgartigimod PH20 (coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20).
