This paper puts forward a reliability estimation method by the Degradation Amount Distribution (DAD) of products, using a composite time series modeling procedure and grey theory based on a random failure threshold. Product DAD data are treated as a composite time series and described using a composite time series model to predict a long-term trend of degradation. The degradation test is proces...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

Abstract “Queer” is a relatively recent and somewhat controversial term in African studies. Yet it proving to be productive, not only for understanding subjectivities of sexuality gender, but also situating Africa’s position the larger economy knowledge. Otu van Klinken explore productive tensions between “queer” “Africa,” aim read Africa as queer from Africa. Thus, rather than imagining polar ...

investigation of reliability characteristics under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. fuzzy weibull distribution and lifetimes of components are using it described. formulas of a fuzzy reliability function, fuzzy hazard function and their α-cut set are presented. furthermore, the fuzzy functions of series systems and parallel systems are discussed, respectively. finally, some numeric...
