Systems are damaged due to various disturbances, and the reliability of systems is reduced. Measures improve system resilience need be studied since many still operate normally after suffering damage. In this paper, whole process disturbance recovery considered, a optimization model multi-component proposed. Firstly, assessment method proposed based on reliability, loss used as index. Secondly,...

Geophysical basins of terrestrial surfaces have been quantitatively characterized through a host of indices such as topological quantities (e.g. channel bifurcation and length ratios), allometric scaling exponents (e.g. fractal dimensions), and other geomorphometric parameters (channel density, Hack’s and Hurst exponents). Channel density, estimated by taking the ratio between the length of cha...

The WISC-IV was used to compare the intellectual profile of two groups of children, one with specific learning disorders (SLDs), the other with intellectual disabilities (ID), with a view to identifying which of the four main factor indexes and two additional indexes can distinguish between the groups. We collected information on WISC-IV scores for 267 children (Mage=10.61 [SD=2.51], range 6-16...

Many previous studies of international markets have attempted to measure integration by correlations among broad stock market indexes. Yet such correlations have been found to poorly mimic other measures of integration. We show that a simple correlation between two stock markets is likely to be a poor indicator of integration for a very simple reason: when there are multiple factors driving ret...
