This paper aims to investigate the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the successful introduction of Six Sigma in large-scale Turkish construction companies.A survey-based approach is used in order to identify and understand the current quality practices.CSFs and impeding factors are identified and analysed.Involvement and commitment of top manage

Accurate photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting ensures the stability and reliability of power systems.To address the complex characteristics of nonlinearity, volatility, and periodicity, a novel two-stage PV forecasting method based on an optimized transformer architecture is proposed.In the first stage, an inverted transformer Household backbone was

Abstract In this note we construct magnetic quivers for the known rank-2 four dimensional N $$ mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories.For every rank-1 theory one can find Bracelet a unitary magnetic quiver; we observe that this is no longer possible at rank 2.Our list of magnetic quivers necessarily includes orthosymplectic quivers, PROMAS

The increasing urban sprawl has contributed to the extensive fragmentation and reduction of natural habitat worldwide.Urbanization has a range of adverse effects on ecosystem functioning, including the disruption of plant dispersal processes across the landscape.Urban fragmentation can alter the distance and directionality of dispersal, leading to

Data assimilation is a robust method to predict crop biophysical and biochemical parameters.However, no previous study has attempted to predict grain protein content (GPC) at a regional scale REPAIR CONDITIONER using this method.This study explored the feasibility of designing an assimilation model for wheat GPC estimation using remote sensing, a c
