Regional assessment of nematode communities to monitor the condition or ecological health of agricultural soils requires sampling programs with measures of known reliability and the ability to detect differences over time. Numbers of fields sampled in a region, samples taken per field, and subsamples assayed per sample must be balanced with cost to provide the best sampling scheme. We used comp...

ABSTRACT The mixture of Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes, called the hybrid censoring scheme is quite common in life-testing or reliability experiments. In this paper, we investigate the estimation of parameters from two-parameter Lomax distribution based on Type-II progressively hybrid censored samples. Maximum likelihood estimates for the distribution parameters and the reliability indice...

The importance in promoting, sustaining industries, manufacturing systems and economy through reliability measurement has become an area of interest. Reliability is one of the most important factors in any successful industries and manufacturing settings. In this paper, we study the reliability of three different repairable redundant network flow systems. First order differential equations meth...

A lot of systems (operating systems, database systems, distributed systems, information systems) can be described, form the point of view of reliability, like a multi-state system. The multi-state system is investigated in this paper as an object of reliability analysis. In this case, the system and its component may experience more than two states of reliability as opposed to the binary system...

A lot of complex sytems (Operation Systems, Database systems, Distributed Systems, Information Systems, etc. ) is possible describe, form the point of view of reliability, like the Multi-State Systems. The Multi-State System is investigated in this paper as an object of reliability analysis. In this case system and its component may experience more than two states of reliability as opposed to t...

Cyber-Physical Systems are the result of integrating information and communication technologies into physical systems. One particular case are Cyber-Physical Power Systems (CPPS), which use communication technologies to perform real-time monitoring and operation. These kinds of systems have become more complex, impacting on the systems’ characteristics, such as their reliability. In addition, i...
