This paper discusses the multi-state coherent system composed of multi-state components. First, using the min cut sets or min path sets, we present our simulation algorithm, instead of the general structure function, to calculate the probability that the system is in a specified state. Second, we check the components per period, e.g. one check per year, to obtain the state sequences of all comp...

The performance of powertrain components in electric vehicles is tightly intertwined with their thermal behavior. In practical applications, temperature must be monitored and kept below certain thresholds to avoid drops failure. Sensors, however, cannot always placed at critical locations. Instead, it possible use numerical models estimate relevant magnitudes during system operation. Thermal ef...

metabolic syndrome (mets) as a collection of obesity-associated disorders is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, pro-thrombotic state, elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. adiponectin is one of the most abundant peptide hormones derived from adipose tissue. this protein plays a major role in glucose and lipid metabolism and prevents development of ...

In this article, a literature study has been conducted including 398 radar circuit elements from 311 recent publications (mostly between 2010 and 2022) that have reported mainly in the F-, D- G-Band (80–200 GHz). This is intended to give state-of-the-art comparison on performance of different technologies—RFCMOS, SiGe/BiCMOS III–V semiconductor composites—regarding most crucial parameters Volta...

abstract purpose: this research aims at examining the university librarians’ viewpoints about digital reference services at state universities of isfahan based on ifla 2008 standards. methodology: the research method is descriptive survey study. the study population consists of university librarians of state universities in isfahan. after determining the variance, the sample was estimated 113 a...

the effect of weak shear thickening and shear thinning on the stability of the taylor-couette flow is explored for a carreau-bird fluid in the narrow-gap limit. the galerkin projection method is used to derive a low-order dynamical system from the conservation of mass and momentum equations. in comparison with the newtonian system, the present equations include additional nonlinear coupling in ...

the present study used different categories of organized sector manufacturing industries pooled data for the periods of 1981-82 and 2007-08 in haryana state (india). the present undertaking seeks to analyze the inter-temporal and inter-industry comparison of total factor productivity (tfp) measured by malmquist productivity index - an application of dea which calculates the indices of tfp and i...
