A function is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element in the range. Two types of functions are the exponential functions and the logarithmic functions. Exponential functions are the functions in the form of y = ax‚ where ’’a’’ is a positive real number‚ greater than zero and not equal to one. Logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions‚ y = loga x‚ where ’’a’’ is greater to zero and not equal to one. These functions have certain differences

Quality Function Deployment 1. Quality function deployment (QFD) is a “method to transform user demands into design quality‚ to deploy the functions forming quality‚ and to deploy methods for achieving the design quality into subsystems and component parts‚ and ultimately to specific elements of the manufacturing process.”‚ as described by Dr. Yoji Akao‚ who originally developed QFD in Japan in 1966‚ when the author combined his work in quality assurance and quality control points with function deployment

Quality Function Deployment It is a systematic approach to design based on a close awareness of customers desires‚ coupled with the integration of corporate function groups. It consists in translating customer desires into design characteristics for each stage of the product development. (Rosenthal‚ 1992) Ultimately the goal of QFD is to translate often subjective quality criteria into objective ones that can be quantified and measured and which can be then used to design and manufacture the

However‚ research indicates language functions have substantial activity in the left and right hemispheres of the brain (Pinel‚ 2009). Cerebral lateralization research has several methods help gain better understanding of the functions of the brain. The sodium amytal test is one method used in cerebral lateralization research. With this test researchers can access language abilities
