Reliability sampling

description: A life test is a random experiment performed on manufactured products such as electrical and electronic components to estimate their life period based on a randomly chosen components. The lifespan of a component is considered as a random variable that follows a certain continuous-type distribution, called the lifetime distribution. Reliability sampling is one of the decision-making methodologies in product control and deals with inspection procedures for sentencing one or more lots or batches of items submitted for inspection. The concept of sampling plans for life tests involving with two random samples is employed in the present study under the assumption that the lifetime random variable is described by the Lomax distribution. A procedure based on mean / median life criterion is developed for designing the optimum plans with minimum sample sizes when two points on the desired operating characteristic curve are prescribed to ensure protection to the producer and the consumer.

description: The characteristic polynomial of the effective Hamiltonian for a general model has been discussed. It is found that, compared with the associated energy eigenvalues, this characteristic polynomial generally has better analytical properties and larger convergence radius when being expanded in powers of the interaction parameter, and hence is more suitable for a perturbation calculation. A form of effective Hamiltonian which has the same singularities (branch points) as such characteristic polynomial has also been constructed.

Critical Analysis

description: A proper maintenance strategy is essential for the optimal performance of poly tube manufacturing to ensure high reliability. It involves a complex structure consisting of many components interconnected in series or parallel configurations. This project's contribution is the development of a method for evaluating the performance of an industrial system using previously unknown data. The RAM index, influenced by failure and repair rates, has been devised to identify the system's most critical component that impacts reliability, availability, and maintainability, collectively known as RAM. For performance analysis, a Markov-based simulation system model has been formulated and resolved to refine the results through particle swarm optimization (PSO). The transition diagram facilitates the construction of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which represent various operational states such as full capacity, reduced capacity, and failure. These ODEs are then solved using initial and boundary condition.

description: The Coriolis matrix elements responsible for mixing of the $1^+ K=1$ and $1^+ K=0$ states are calculated in the framework of the Quasiparticle Phonon Model for several Gd and Dy isotopes. In many considered cases these matrix elements are equal to several tens of keV and are comparable with energy distances between the mixed levels. The results obtained indicates that Gd isotopes could be more suitable for finding deviations from Alaga rules in M1 transitions from $1^+$ state to the states of the ground band.

description: Hidden markov model (HMM) is a statistical markov model in which the system being modeled and is assumed to be a markov process with unobservable (i.e., Hidden) states. In HMM, the state is not directly visible but the output depend on the state is visible. Each state has a probability distribution over the possible output tokens. The model is referred to as a hidden markov model even if these parameters are known exactly. The viterbi is one of the estimate underlying state path in hidden markov models. In this paper, viterbi path is derived using hidden markov model.

Tribe: Brassiceae DC.
Notes. – The tribe Brassiceae is notoriously complex, and none of the current molecular phylogenetic studies provided satisfactory data that agree with the current generic delimitation based solely on morphology (see WARWICK & SAUDER, 2005; WARWICK & HALL, 2009; ARIAS & PIRES, 2012; ARIAS et al., 2014).
Indeed, Brassica, which currently includes 44 species centered in the Mediterranean region and SW Asia, is polyphyletic and needs substantial nomenclatural adjustments to make it monophyletic. When that is done, the genus would be substantially smaller and may well end up including B. oleracea (n =9), B. rapa (n =10), and some of their wild relatives with such chromosome numbers (see SNOGERUP et al., 1990).
Therefore, with the exclusion of B. cretica, the other species retained here in Brassica are only tentatively assigned to the genus, and detailed molecular, morphological, cytogenetic, and genomic studies would most likely assign them to other genera.

description: The escalating connectivity of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) era necessitates robust security measures while accommodating resource constraints. Lightweight cryptography addresses this need, focusing on algorithm development for devices with limited resources. This research proposes the Lightweight Crypto System (LCS) as a hybrid cryptosystem, integrating the Lightweight Symmetric Algorithm (LSA) and the Lightweight Hash Algorithm (LHA). LSA is a modified AES-128 variant, enhancing data confidentiality, while LHA, derived from SHA-256, verifies data integrity. The study evaluates the proposed LCS on criteria such as execution time, memory usage, avalanche effect, collision resistance, and entropy, emphasizing the optimal balance between performance and security achieved by LSA and LHA. The findings position LCS as a compelling solution for securing IoT devices without compromising on stringent security requirements.

description: In the presence of certain non-minimal couplings between a scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet curvature invariant, Kerr black holes can scalarize, as long as they are spinning fast enough. This provides a distinctive violation of the Kerr hypothesis, occurring only for some high spin range. In this paper we assess if strong magnetic fields, that may exist in the vicinity of astrophysical black holes, could facilitate this distinctive effect, by bringing down the spin threshold for scalarization. This inquiry is motivated by the fact that self-gravitating magnetic fields, by themselves, can also promote "spin-induced" scalarization. Nonetheless, we show that in the \textit{vicinity of the horizon} the effect of the magnetic field $B$ on a black hole of mass $M$, up to $BM\lesssim 1$, works \textit{against} spin-induced scalarization, requiring a larger dimensionless spin $j$ from the black hole. A geometric interpretation for this result is suggested, in terms of the effects of rotation $vs.$ magnetic fields on the horizon geometry.

description: The thesis consists of seven empirical studies. Study 1 examined how PTSD, mood and mindfulness would influence global local processing. Child refugees showed higher levels of PTSD symptoms, lower levels of mood and mindfulness, and heightened global bias compared to the controls. Study 2 extended the investigations of study 1 to adults. The refugees showed higher levels of PTSD symptoms, lower levels of mood and mindfulness, and heightened global bias. Study 3 investigated age-related differences in global/local processing. Child refugees displayed a marked global bias compared to adults. On the Navon task, when the small target was incompatible with the big target, adult refugees were more accurate than child refugees. Furthermore, adults were quicker than children. Study 4 examined autobiographical memory retrieval in refugees and controls. The child refugees demonstrated poorer episodic, personal semantic and overall memory retrieval than the controls. The PTSD-memory relationship was moderated by mindfulness and mood. Study 5 expanded the examinations of study 4 to adults. The refugees demonstrated poorer overall, episodic, and personal semantic recall than the controls. Mindfulness moderated the relationships of mood with overall and episodic memory. Study 6 investigated age-related differences in autobiographical memory retrieval. In overall and episodic memory, there was no effect for age. However, in personal semantic memory, among refugees, adults had poorer performance than children. Finally, study 7 assessed local/global processing and interference in accuracy and reaction time across adults and children. Episodic memory was negatively associated with accuracy interference for small targets in children. PTSD and mindfulness in adults potentially moderated the local responses-episodic memory relationship. In children, PTSD potentially moderated the relationship between local responses and both overall and personal semantic memory. Mood potentially moderated the local responses-episodic memory relationship. PTSD significantly moderated the relationships between accuracy interference and overall, episodic and personal semantic memory.

Notes. – The above combination was also superfluously published by Greuter & Burdet (GREUTER & RAUS, 1985: 64).
Label of the holotype, which was handwritten by Boissier, shows April as the month of collection, as in the protologue. However, labels of all isotypes, which are printed mimeographs in Boissier’s handwriting, indicate March as the collection month. Because the plants of both holotype and isotypes are at the same developmental stage, and because there is only a single specimen of the species in G-BOIS, it is very likely that Boissier made a mistake in the month of collection. If it is shown otherwise, then the isotypes should be treated as syntypes.

description: Crack-templated networks, metallic frameworks fabricated from crack patterns in sacrificial thin films, can exhibit high optical transmittance, high electric conductivity, and a host of other properties attractive for applications. Despite advances in preparing, characterizing, and analyzing optoelectronic performance of cracked template networks, limited efforts have focused on predicting how their disordered structures help determine their electrical and optical properties and explain their interrelationships. We introduce a geometric modeling approach for crack-templated networks and use simulation to compute their wavelength- and incident angle-dependent optical transmittance and sheet resistivity. We explore how these properties relate to one another and to those of metallic meshes with periodically ordered aperture arrays. We consider implications of the results for optoelectronic applications, compare figure-of-merit predictions to experimental data, and highlight an opportunity to extend the modeling approach using inverse methods.

description: Molecular dynamics simulation is a proven technique for computing and visualizing the time-resolved motion of macromolecules at atomic resolution. The MDsrv is a tool that streams MD trajectories and displays them interactively in web browsers without requiring advanced skills, facilitating interactive exploration and collaborative visual analysis. We have now enhanced the MDsrv to further simplify the upload and sharing of MD trajectories and improve their online viewing and analysis. With the new instance, the MDsrv simplifies the creation of sessions, which allows the exchange of MD trajectories with preset representations and perspectives. An important innovation is that the MDsrv can now access and visualize trajectories from remote datasets, which greatly expands its applicability and use, as the data no longer needs to be accessible on a local server. In addition, initial analyses such as sequence or structure alignments, distance measurements, or RMSD calculations have been implemented, which optionally support visual analysis. Finally, the MDsrv now offers a faster and more efficient visualization of even large trajectories.

description: Aim of the present paper is to find suitable model for bimodal data. We have modelled mixture of two Weibull distributions in the presence of competing risks and also used Epanechnikov kernel to estimate hazard and survival functions. We considered prostate cancer data for application of the mixture model and kernel. We used maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to estimate parameters of the mixture model, as the equations have no closed form, so we considered expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. The mixture model and kernel gave good fit to the bimodal data. The prostate cancer data consists of three causes, we have estimated hazard function for these three causes using mixture model and kernel. The asymptotic confidence interval for the parameters of mixture model to all three causes were estimated. Also compared survival curve of mixture model with kernel and Kaplan-Meier survival curves for all the three causes.

description: Polarons are quasi-particles made from electrons interacting with vibrations in crystal lattices. They derive their name from the strong electron-vibration polar interaction in ionic systems, that induces associated spectroscopic and optical signatures of such quasi-particles in these materials. In this paper, we focus on diamond, a non-polar crystal with inversion symmetry which nevertheless shows characteristic signatures of polarons, better denoted "nonpolarons" in this case. The polaronic effects are produced by short-range crystal fields with only a small influence of long-range quadrupoles. The many-body spectral function has a characteristic energy dependence, showing a plateau structure that is similar to but distinct from the satellites observed in the polar Fröhlich case. The temperature-dependent spectral function of diamond is determined by two methods: the standard Dyson-Migdal approach, which calculates electron-phonon interactions within the lowest-order expansion of the self-energy, and the cumulant expansion, which includes higher orders of electron-phonon interactions. The latter corrects the nonpolaron energies and broadening, providing a more realistic spectral function, which we examine in detail for both conduction and valence band edges.

Notes. – The systematic position of Brassica nivalis is controversial, and it has been assigned to at least five genera of the tribe Brassiceae. Although some authors placed the species in Coincya Rouy (Greuter & Burdet in GREUTER & RAUS, 1983; GREUTER et al., 1986; TAN, 2002) or in Guenthera Andrz. (GÓMEZ-CAMPO, 2003, see comments under Brassica persica), it is tentatively retained in Brassica, as done by LEADLAY & HEYWOOD (1990), JALAS et al. (1996), and WARWICK & AL-SHEHBAZ (2006).
The species does not fit in Coincya because it drastically differs in floral morphology, geography, and chromosome numbers.

description: In nowadays, the chief attention of the researcher is to study how the reliability analysis of manufacturing industrial systems by using the stochastic process. This topic tells us, how the manufacturing industries perform over time with the help of mathematical models which include randomness and uncertainty. Through stochastic processes we examine the reliability of these systems, technologists can recognize possible failure points and develop tactics to improve overall performance and effectiveness. The reliability of a manufacturing industrial system can be examined through a stochastic process, which permits for the estimate of failure rates and maintenance agendas. This analysis can lead to more well-organized and cost-effective procedure of the system. In this study, the researcher analysed the possibility plan for reliability through many distributions such as the normal distribution, gamma distribution, weibull distribution, and exponential distribution. The result of the study was prepared using Minitab software. The result of the study shows that the normal distribution of reliability fits best in comparison to the gamma, weibull, and exponential distributions.

description: Natural catastrophes have a tremendous influence on the environment and our economy, which has raised significant concerns and spurred scientific research. Several studies have been done to model the economic losses brought on by natural disasters. In this article, we primarily concentrate on examining the distributions of economic losses resulting from big catastrophes including wildfires, earthquakes, droughts, volcanic eruptions, and harsh weather. We recommend utilizing five well-known statistical distributions, including the Weibull, Log-logistics, Gamma, Generalized Pareto, and Lognormal distributions since we observe the skewed forms of the empirical distributions. We employ the maximum likelihood technique for each distribution for the available data sets in order to estimate the distributions. The parameter estimations are numerically computed using the PSO method. We select the distribution that best fits the economic losses using the Akaike Information Criterion and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics. We discovered that the Log-logistic distribution is the distribution that fits the total economic losses caused by all-natural disasters the best.

description: The accelerated Degradation testing (ADT) experiments are important technical methods in reliability studies. Different type of accelerating degradation models has developed with the time and can be used in different types of situations. However, it has become necessary for the manager to test how many numbers of unit should be tested at a particular stress level so that the cost of testing is less. Accelerated Degradation testing (ADT) is preferred to be used in mechanized industries to obtain the required information about the reliability of product components and materials in a short period of time. Accelerated test conditions involve higher than usual pressure, temperature, voltage, vibration or any other combination of them. Data collected at such accelerated conditions are extrapolated through a physically suitable statistical model to estimate the lifetime distribution at design condition stress the life data collected from the high stresses the need to be extrapolated to estimate the life distribution under the normal-use condition. A special class of the ADT is the step-stress testing which regularly increases the stress levels at some pre-fixed time points until the test unit fails. Such experiments allow the experimenter to run the test units at higher-than-usual stress conditions in order to secure failures more quickly. The Inverse Gaussian process is flexible in incorporating random effects and explanatory variables. The different types of models based on IG process are random drift model, random volatility model and random driftvolatility model. In this paper we have considered random drift model for the study on stochastic degradation models for simple step-stress model using inverse Gaussian process observed in degradation problems.

Some statistical properties of the distribution such as moments, survival and hazard functions, quantile function, Rényi entropy and order statistics were derived. Maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the model parameters. A simulation study was carried out in order to gain an insight into the performance on small, moderate and large samples. The flexibility of the new distribution was empirically demonstrated in comparison to four other extensions of Gompertz distributions using two real life datasets.
title: The Enduring Significance of the Minimal Phenomenological Self: Disclosure & Subjectivity
Creators: name: Newall, Michael John
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: Certain recent influential commentarial trends - predominantly philosophical, but adaptive to the findings of current neuroscience and theoretical psychology - seek to extrapolate a coherent, foundational account of the first personal nature of experience as constitutive of “self-hood” in a so called “minimal” sense. Such research professes a strict adherence to a 1 very specific interpretation of key classic phenomenological sources. What is questionable, we shall suggest, is the controvertible need to identify reflexivity, envisaged in largely neo-Sartrean terms, as the apparent locus for so-called “minimal” self-hood. Reflexivity so envisaged - as a first-personal, non-positing, self-givenness and qualitative “mineness” - is claimed to represent a “dative of manifestation,” a minimal experiential structure that is argued to underwrite other derivative accounts of “self-hood” across the disciplines. Principally by means of re-examining certain source texts, our enquiry aims to critically engage and challenge this thesis. To this end we propose to thematise and interrogate the direct equation Heidegger makes in Being & Time (and elsewhere) between Dasein (human being) and disclosedness: “To say that [Dasein] is ‘illuminated’ means that as Being-in-the-world [Dasein] is cleared in itself…in such a way that it is itself the clearing….Dasein is its disclosedness.” Building on the phenomenological research of Husserl, 2 Heidegger positions his account of the subjective field as essentially disclosive in terms of a retrieval and restoration (as he sees it) of the classical conception of truth as alêtheia, or “unconcealment.” We shall thereafter consider the extent to which an analogous interpretation of disclosedness may also be found in the phenomenological work of Sartre. Despite their conspicuously divergent terminologies and agendas, we aim to demonstrate that Sartre’s conception of the subjective field, or consciousness, as a fundamentally disclosive “decompression of being” converges in significant and illuminating ways with Heidegger’s account of Dasein as a disclosiveness “in-the-world.” We argue that selfhood in its most originary, “minimal” sense is thus most convincingly conceived in terms of a recurrent, historical “event” of unconcealment and “self-constitution” - always in and through the achievement of an intelligible and meaningful world. As we shall see, both thinkers reject a substantivized conception of the self (as a bearer of predicates) - including the idea of a minimally substantivized “dative of manifestation” - in favour of a view of the self as the process or “event” of being disclosed. Precisely in these terms, Heidegger and Sartre may both be said to envisage the subjective field as a foundational “event,” or “space,” of disclosedness itself.

The proposed method has been applied to Philippine climate data over the previous 18 years (2006-2023) with the goal of classifying the regions according to average annual temperature including the maximum and minimum. This dataset contains missing values which is the result of the weather stations’ measurement failure for some time and there is no chance of recovery. As an effect, the regional groupings are greatly affected. This paper adapts a modified method of missing value imputation suitable for climate data clustering, inspired by the work of Bertsimas et al. (2017). The proposed methodology focuses on imputing missing values within observations by finding the value that minimizes the distance between the observation and a cluster centroid in which the Mahalanobis distance is used as the similarity measure. Consequently, the outcomes of clustering obtained through this optimization approach were compared with certain imputation techniques namely Mean Imputation, Expectation-Maximization algorithm, and MICE. The assessment of the derived clusters was conducted using the silhouette coefficient as the performance metric. Results revealed that the proposed imputation gave the highest silhouette scores which means that most of the observations were being clustered appropriately as compared to the results using other imputation algorithms. Moreover, it was found out that most of the areas showing the features of extreme condition are located in the middle part of the country.

description: We consider static scalar fields coupled to the gradient where the coupling also appears in next-to-leading order Ginzburg-Landau models. We study condensation behaviors of scalar fields outside regular compact reflecting stars in the asymptotically flat background. For non-negative coupling parameters, we prove that the reflecting star cannot support coupled static scalar fields.

description: The relevance of ensuring the efficiency of equipment, devices and installations (object) of electric power systems increases every year and becomes the most important problem of maintaining energy security. The decrease in work efficiency is due to a number of factors, but, first, an increase in the relative number of objects, the service life of which exceeds the standard value. An illustration of the methodology for quantifying, comparing and ranking the monthly average values of indicators of the operational reliability of 110 kV overhead power transmission lines and above given in order to identify and restore the wear of the least reliable lines.

Multicomponent Reliability
Stress-Strength Reliability
Expected Time to Failure

description: In this paper, we consider a system with a finite number of components. It is assumed that the system architecture is a series format. The system fails when any one of the components fails. The case where the lifetimes of the components, are independently distributed and have pathway density is considered. Then the survival function, hazard function, the expected time to failure, general moments, etc. of the system lifetime are computed. It is shown that the hazard function can have many types of shapes, including bathtub shapes. The estimation of stress-strength reliability is considered based on the method of maximum likelihood estimation when both stress and strength variables follow the pathway model. Finally, to show the applicability of the proposed model in a real-life scenario, remission time data from cancer patients is analyzed.

description: T Aurigae is an eclipsing old nova which exploded in 1891. At a Gaia EDR3 distance of 815-871 pc, it is a relatively nearby old nova. Through ultraviolet spectral modeling and using the new precise Gaia distance, we find that the HST/STIS spectrum of T Aurigae is consistent with an accretion disk with a mass transfer rate $\dot{M}$ of the order of $10^{-8}M_{\odot}$/yr, for a white dwarf mass of $M_{\rm wd} \approx 0.7 \pm 0.2 M_{\odot}$, an inclination of $i \sim 60^{\circ}$, and a Gaia distance of of $840_{-25}^{+31}$~pc. The sharp absorption lines of metals cannot form in the disk and are likely forming in material above the disk (e.g. due stream disk overflow), in circumbinary material, and/or in material associated with the ejected shell from the 1891 nova explosion. The saturated hydrogen Ly$α$ absorption feature is attributed to a large interstellar medium hydrogen column density of the order of $10^{21}$cm$^{-2}$ towards T Aur, as corroborated by the value of its reddening $E(B-V)=0.42 \pm 0.08$.

Notes. – The G-BOIS specimen is the sole material studied by Boissier to describe the species, and it should be recognized as the holotype.
HEDGE (1968) recognized B. leptocarpa as a subspecies of B. deflexa and distinguished it by having fruit 3–4.5 (vs to 6) cm long and horizontal or deflexed (vs deflexed) fruiting pedicels 4–9 (vs 10–18) mm long. In fact these continuous characters are not inherited in that combination, and there are divaricate fruits on pedicels to 22 mm long or reflexed fruits on pedicels to 5 mm long. For these reasons, and without detailed, populationbased studies, no infraspecific taxa are recognized in B. deflexa.

ON AN INTERNAL DEPENDENCE OF SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS

description: In this paper we show that there exists an internal dependence of the simultaneous measurements made by the two pairs of linear polarizers operated in each leg of the apparatus in Aspect’s version of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Gedankenexperiment. The corresponding Shannon-Kolmogorov’s information flow linking a polarizer from one leg to a polarizer from the other leg is proportional to the absolute value of this function of dependence. It turns out that if Bell’s inequality is violated, then this information flow is strictly positive, that is, the experiment performed at one leg is informationally dependent on the experiment at the other leg. By throwing out the sign of absolute value, we define the signed information flow linking a polarizer from one leg to a polarizer from the other leg which, in turn, reproduces the probabilities of the four outcomes of the simultaneous measurements, predicted by quantum mechanics. We make an attempt to illustrate the seeming random relation between the total information flow, the total signed information flow, and the violation of Bell’s inequality in terms of a kind of uncertainty principle.

Interdependence of the new "MUON G-2" Result and the $W$-Boson Mass

description: The electroweak (EW) sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), assuming the lightest neutralino as Dark Matter (DM) candidate, can account for a variety of experimental results. In particular it can account for the discrepancy between the experimental result for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $(g-2)_μ$, and its Standard Model (SM) prediction. The new "MUON G-2" result, combined with the older BNL result on $(g-2)_μ$, yields a deviation from the SM prediction of $Δa_μ = (25.1 \pm 5.9) \times 10^{-10}$, corresponding to $4.2~σ$. Using this updated bound, together with the other constraints, we calculate the MSSM prediction for the mass of the $W$ boson, $M_W$. We assume contributions only from the EW sector, with the colored sector of the MSSM taken to be heavy. We investigate five scenarios, distinguished by the mechanisms which yield a relic DM density in agreement with the latest Planck bounds. We find that with the new $(g-2)_μ$ result taken into account and depending on the scenario, values up to $M_W^{\mathrm{MSSM}} \lesssim 80.376~\mathrm{GeV}$ are reached. The largest values are obtained for wino DM and in the case of slepton co-annihilation, where points well within the $1\,σ$ range of the experimental world average of $M_W^{\mathrm{exp}} = 80.379 \pm~0.012~\mathrm{GeV}$ are reached, whereas the SM predicts a too small value of $M_W^{\mathrm{SM}} = 80.353~\mathrm{GeV}$. We analyze the dependence of $M_W^{\mathrm{MSSM}}$ on the relevant masses of the EW superpartners and demonstrate that future $M_W$ measurements, e.g. at the ILC, could distinguish between various MSSM realizations. Sizable contributions to $M_W^{\mathrm{MSSM}}$ are associated with a relatively light $\tildeχ^0_1$, accompanied by either a light chargino or a light smuon, setting interesting targets for future collider searches.

ON ESTIMATION AND PREDICTION FOR THE XLINDLEY DISTRIBUTION BASED ON RECORD DATA

description: This paper investigates the estimation of the unknown parameter in the XLindley distribution using record values and inter-record times, both in classical and Bayesian frameworks. It also delves into Bayesian prediction of a future record value. We also study the problem of estimation and prediction for the XLindley distribution based on lower records alone. A simulation study, as well as an analysis of a real data example, are conducted for comparison and illustration. The numerical findings underline that including the inter-record times in the study may enhance the performance of the estimators and predictors.
