Adaptive VSS-EWMA control chart for monitoring the process dispersion by Abdullah Ali H. Ahmadini, Imad Khan, Abdulrahman Obaid Alshammari, Hadeel AlQadi, Wojciech Sumelka

“…This study presents an innovative approach by developing a Dynamic Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart with a Variable Sample Size (VSS) to monitor process dispersion. The proposed method enhances the detection capability of small shifts in the coefficient of variation (CV) by adjusting the sample size based on the observed process behavior. …”

Weakly Bonded Water in Interstitial Sites: A Source of Inaccuracy in Rehydroxylation Dating by Marco Martini, Anna Galli, Laura Panzeri, Francesco Maspero

“…In this study, we propose an enhanced experimental protocol incorporating thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to identify and quantify interstitial water fractions within ceramics. For samples exhibiting significant water retention (>1%), we recommend preheating at relatively higher temperatures (up to 300 °C) to ensure complete water removal and a more accurate mass determination. …”

The use of calcium peroxide to clean the oil-contaminated soil by Kurbangaleeva Milyausha

“…As a result of the studies, the effectiveness of using calcium peroxide to clean the soil of petroleum products has been shown. Proposed method of soil cleaning from oil and petroleum products by calcium peroxide consists in the fact that when this reagent interacts with moisture oxygen is released, which at the moment of its separation is more active in comparison with air oxygen; it promotes intensification of aeration processes and thereby ensures effective soil cleaning from petroleum products.…”
