Reliability of Seismograph Stations

The Earss Digital Seismograph : System Description and Field Trials

An earthquake detection and recording system known as EARSS has been developed for permanent seismograph stations and temporary field installations. It records three components of ground motion with a dynamic range of 120 dB. A frequency-domain algorithm detects earthquakes and initiates the recording of data on magnetic tape. Alternatively, EARSS can record data continuously, for preselected p...

Reliability Measurement for Mixed Mode Failures of 33/11 Kilovolt Electric Power Distribution Stations

The reliability of the electrical distribution system is a contemporary research field due to diverse applications of electricity in everyday life and diverse industries. However a few research papers exist in literature. This paper proposes a methodology for assessing the reliability of 33/11 Kilovolt high-power stations based on average time between failures. The objective of this paper is to...

Reliability of Various Measurement Stations for Determining Plantar Fascia Thickness and Echogenicity

This study aimed to determine the relative and absolute reliability of ultrasound (US) measurements of the thickness and echogenicity of the plantar fascia (PF) at different measurement stations along its length using a standardized protocol. Twelve healthy subjects (24 feet) were enrolled. The PF was imaged in the longitudinal plane. Subjects were assessed twice to evaluate the intra-rater rel...

Multi-objective planning of charging stations considering benefits of distribution company and charging stations owners

In recent years, electric vehicles have attracted significant attention due to environmental issues. Charging stations installation requires a systematic consideration of relevant issues such as determination of the location and size of charging stations. On the other hand, it is necessary to encourage private investors to invest in charging stations installations and to provide proper conditio...
