In this article the questions of the system research of reliability indexes of the infocommunication network with distributed structure are considered. As a criterion proposed use the reliability index, based on reliability state of each level of the considered network. Showed that development of methods and algorithms of system research of reliability indexes of the infocommunication network i...

Mathematical optimization plays an important role in engineering design, leading to greatly improved performance. Deterministic optimization however, can lead to undesired choices because it neglects input and model uncertainty. Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) and robust design improve optimization by considering uncertainty. A design is called reliable if it meets all performance ...

Background: The health locus of control (HLC) can indirectly determine the health status. The current study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC-C) scale in pregnant women.Methods: 554 pregnant women participated in this cross-sectional study conducted in 2017; they referred to community health centers affiliated with Mashh...

Methods Phase one involved developing a QHRFF using an existing diabetes high-risk foot tool, literature search, expert panel and several state-wide stakeholder groups. Phase two tested the criterion-related validity along with interand intra-rater reliability of the final QHRFF. Three cohorts of patients (n = 94) and four clinicians, representing different levels of expertise, were recruited. ...
