In the terms of operational calculus the probability characteristics of direct and reverse residual renewal time of alternating renewal process, where renewal time depends on life-time, are found. 1. Definitions, Motivations and Formulation of the Problem 1.1 According to [1] let’s consider a system which fails after random life-time X1 and is fully renewed after the lapse of random time Y1. Th...

Pavlovian conditioning models have influenced the development of cue exposure treatments for drug abuse. However, poor maintenance of extinction performance (renewal) after treatment is a common problem. A treatment-analogue experiment tested the role of context in renewal, as well as a potential strategy for reducing renewal. Seventy-eight social drinkers completed extinction trials to reduce ...

Growing energy demands and the increased use of renewal energies have changed the landscape of power networks leading to new challenges. Smart Grids have emerged to cope with these challenges by facilitating the integration of traditional and renewable energy resources in distributed, open, and self-managed ways. Innovative models are needed to design energy infrastructures that can enable self...
