We examine the impact of economy wide credit tightening on bank failures and investigate relationship between tighter monetary policy while accounting for balance sheet variables. Using a sample U.S. banks from 1984 to 2020, we find following: i) increases in corporate spreads lead significant increase aggregate failures; ii) lower return equity higher allowances loan losses are associated with...

Inspection Policy: There is an inspection calendar which covers the entire power distribution network in a period of 10 years, which is based in periodical inspection activities that take place at one, two, five and ten year intervals Usually there are 25 thousand orders to repair potential failure built based on the company inspection calendar and recorded system In order to assure the quality...

Review examines the causes, and potential solutions, of electromigration failures.

Coupled networks are extremely fragile because a node failure of a network would trigger a cascade of failures on the entire system. Existing studies mainly focused on the cascading failures and the robustness of coupled networks when the networks suffer from attacks. In reality, it is necessary to recover the damaged networks, and there are cascading failures in recovery processes. In this stu...

background and aims. the present study evaluated the most common reasons for replacing amalgam restorations in a university clinic. materials and methods. a total of 217 restorations which needed to be replaced were clinically and radiographically evaluated in a period of 4 months. the frequencies of reasons for replacing amalgam restorations were calculated: the assessed items included recurre...

Background: Cognitive failure is mental lapses in perception, attention, memory, and action. It occurs during routine tasks that one would usually have no difficulty in successfully completing. Cognitive performance is influenced by conditions and some individual and job characteristics and the identification of factors that affect human performance is essential to prevent human error. The purp...

Cascading failures have become major threats to network robustness due to their potential catastrophic consequences, where local perturbations can induce global propagation of failures. Unlike failures spreading via direct contacts due to structural interdependencies, overload failures usually propagate through collective interactions among system components. Despite the critical need in develo...
