Proper maintenance planning is critical for management to contribute increasing availability, ensuring quality requirements, and controlling the safety environmental risks associated with physical assets. As supporting tools developing strategies, Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Risk-Based (RBM) methods are currently used in several organizations. Nevertheless, these strategies often app...

PURPOSE To examine the inter-rater reliability and comparative validity of product-oriented and process-oriented measures of fundamental movement skills among children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD In total, 30 children with CP aged 6 to 14 years (Mean = 9.83, SD = 2.5) and classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III performed tasks of catching, throwing, ...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

In service-oriented architecture (SOA), the entire software system consists of an interacting group of autonomous services. In order to make such a system reliable, it should inhibit guarantee for basic service, data flow, composition of services, and the complete workflow. This paper discusses the important factor of SOA and their role in the entire SOA system reliability. We focus on the fact...

This paper does a wide-ranging review on object oriented software Reliability, and put forth some appropriate information about design level Reliability. Reliability has been recognized as a major factor to software quality, an importance is being drawn to measure reliability early in development life cycle. In this study a metrics based Reliability Estimation Model for object oriented design h...

In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future load demand. The large number of design variables and combination of discr...

the ultimate goal of power system operation and planning is to increase power system reliability which enforces interconnected operation of power system. as a result of power system interconnection, the inter-area oscillation under different disturbances may cause power system partial or total blackout. dc-segmentation of interconnected power systems is a solution in which the topology of the n...

as the head of pharmaceutical sciences research centre and a member of the editorial board, i am delighted to preface this edition of ijpr, with appreciation of all the efforts behind it. health research should be considered as a tool to help policy makers, industries and others to tackle problems, improve the quality of life and build healthy communities. so, besides basic research, that has i...

This paper presents the syntax and semantics of a simplified version of a logic-based agent-oriented programming language to implement agents with emotions. Four types of emotions are distinguished: happiness, sadness, anger and fear. These emotions are defined relative to agent’s goals and plans. The emotions result from the agent’s deliberation process and influence the deliberation process. ...
