Encyclopedia of Statistics in Quality and Reliability
Charles W. Champ, Georgia Southern University and Deborah K. Shepherd, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
1-1-2007
Chapter Summary: Control charts for controlling the process mean are affected by changes in the process standard deviation. Therefore it is important to also control the process standard deviation. Various control charting methods have been developed for this purpose. Two commonly recommended statistical methods for controlling the process standard deviation are the moving range (MR) and the range (R) charts. The designs of MR and R charts are discussed in this article and each is illustrated with an example.

Lizard Ecology: The Evolutionary Consequences of Foraging Mode
Stephen M. Reilly, Ohio University; Lance D. McBrayer, Georgia Southern University; and Donald B. Miles, Ohio University
7-2007
Book Summary: The foraging mode of lizards has been a central theme in guiding research in lizard biology for three decades. Foraging mode has been shown to be a pervasive evolutionary force molding the diet, ecology, behavior, anatomy, biomechanics, life history, and physiology of lizards. This 2007 volume reviews the knowledge on the effects of foraging mode on these and other organismal systems to show how they have evolved, over a wide taxonomic survey of lizard groups. The reviews presented here reveal the continuous nature of foraging strategies in lizards and snakes, providing the reader with a review of the ... Read more
