This paper examines the importance of quality management for Yemen, a developing country, in the light of challenges introduced by recent changes in levels of protection from international competition previously enjoyed by Yemeni companies. The curre... Read More about The cultural acceptability of the EBEM in Yemen.

A conditional autoregressive Gaussian process for irregularly spaced multivariate data with application to modelling large sets of binary data (2002)
Journal Article

Proof of a conjecture on irredundance perfect graphs (2002)
Journal Article
Volkmann, L., & Zverovich, V. (2002). Proof of a conjecture on irredundance perfect graphs. Journal of Graph Theory, 41(4), 292-306. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgt.10068

Let ir(G) and γ(G) be the irredundance number and the domination number of a graph G, respectively. A graph G is called irredundance perfect if ir(H) = γ(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. In this article we present a result which immediately imp... Read More about Proof of a conjecture on irredundance perfect graphs.

The stability of a superfluid rotating jet (2002)
Journal Article
Henderson, K., & Barenghi, C. F. (2002). The stability of a superfluid rotating jet. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 35(45), 9645-9655. https://doi.org/10.1088/0305-4470/35/45/311

We consider the linear stability of a cylindrical rotating jet of pure superfluid held together by surface tension. A necessary and sufficient condition for stability to axisymmetric disturbances is derived which corresponds to that of a classical in... Read More about The stability of a superfluid rotating jet.

Involvement of conventional kinesin in glucose-stimulate secretory granule movements and exocytosis in clonal pancreatic β-cells (2002)
Journal Article
Varadi, A., Ainscow, E., Allan, V. J., & Rutter, G. A. (2002). Involvement of conventional kinesin in glucose-stimulate secretory granule movements and exocytosis in clonal pancreatic β-cells. Journal of Cell Science, 115(21), 4177-4189. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.00083

Recruitment of secretory vesicles to the cell surface is essential for the sustained secretion of insulin in response to glucose. At present, the molecular motors involved in this movement, and the mechanisms whereby they may be regulated, are undefi...

A fast convergent extended Kalman observer for nonlinear discrete-time systems (2002)
Journal Article
Guo, L. Z., & Zhu, Q. (2002). A fast convergent extended Kalman observer for nonlinear discrete-time systems. International Journal of Systems Science, 33(13), 1051-1058. https://doi.org/10.1080/0020772021000046225

A new extended Kalman observer for nonlinear discrete-time systems is derived. As always, stability and convergence rate depend directly on the matrices Qk and Rk and the initial state estimation error, the new observer has made improvement on these...

Experimental logical gates in a reaction-diffusion medium: The XOR gate and beyond (2002)
Journal Article

We exploit the particulars of diffusive wave front interactions in certain types of two-reactant reaction-diffusion medium to construct a laboratory prototype of an XOR gate. In the design, the values of the logic variables are represented by the pre... Read More about Experimental logical gates in a reaction-diffusion medium: The XOR gate and beyond.

Prediction of lobe growth and decay in centreless grinding based on geometric considerations (2002)
Journal Article

The growth and decay of lobes during centreless grinding have been studied by previous researchers using physical tests, time-domain simulation and identification of the roots of the Laplace transform of the characteristic equation. In this paper, th... Read More about Prediction of lobe growth and decay in centreless grinding based on geometric considerations.

Evolution of management theory: the case of production management in construction (2002)

The construction industry in Singapore is dominated by a competitive business environment that is being driven by a lowest cost mentality. The pressure on contractors' profit margins has further increased after a prolonged recession in this sector, w...
