The electrochemical migration (ECM) behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy under thin electrolyte layers was investigated using a technique based on the coupling of in situ electrochemical measurements and optical observation. Results showed that the mean time to failure first increased and then decreased as thickness of the electrolyte layer increased, the maximum value was present at 200[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. The higher the bias voltage applied, the faster was the rate of dendrite growth. And, Sn leaded the ECM of SAC305 solder alloy. Mechanisms relevant have been proposed to explain the ECM behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy.

Surveillance monitoring systems are highly necessary, aiming to prevent many social problems in smart cities. The internet of things (IoT) nowadays offers a variety of technologies to capture and process massive and heterogeneous data. Due to the fact that (i) advanced analyses of video streams are performed on powerful recording devices; while (ii) surveillance monitoring services require high availability levels in the way that the service must remain connected, for example, to a connection network that offers higher speed than conventional connections; and that (iii) the trust-worthy dependability of a surveillance system depends on various factors, it is not easy to identify which components/devices in a system architecture have the most impact on the dependability for a specific surveillance system in smart cities. In this paper, we developed stochastic Petri net models for a surveillance monitoring system with regard to varying several parameters to obtain the highest dependability. Two main metrics of interest in the dependability of a surveillance system including reliability and availability were analyzed in a comprehensive manner. The analysis results show that the variation in the number of long-term evolution (LTE)-based stations contributes to a number of nines (#9s) increase in availability. The obtained results show that the variation of the mean time to failure (MTTF) of surveillance cameras exposes a high impact on the reliability of the system. The findings of this work have the potential of assisting system architects in planning more optimized systems in this field based on the proposed models.

AbstractThe performance and effectiveness of an age replacement policy can be assessed by its mean time to failure (MTTF) function. We develop shock model theory in different scenarios for classes of life distributions based on the MTTF function where the probabilities $\bar{P}_k$ of surviving the first k shocks are assumed to have discrete DMTTF, IMTTF and IDMTTF properties. The cumulative damage model of A-Hameed and Proschan [1] is studied in this context and analogous results are established. Weak convergence and moment convergence issues within the IDMTTF class of life distributions are explored. The preservation of the IDMTTF property under some basic reliability operations is also investigated. Finally we show that the intersection of IDMRL and IDMTTF classes contains the BFR family and establish results outlining the positions of various non-monotonic ageing classes in the hierarchy.

Fully dense samples of TiB2-TiCX and TiB2-TiCX/15SiC ceramic composites were fabricated by in-situ synthesis under hot isostatic pressing from TiH2, B4C and SiC powders. Their oxidized behaviors at different temperatures were tested. Optical micrograph studies and thermo-gravimetric analyses show that the highest effective temperature of oxidation resistance is 700°C for TiB2-TiCX, and 1100°C for TiB2-TiCX/15SiC. The weight gain of TiB2-TiCX/15SiC below 1100°C is quite low, and it rises up suddenly when the temperature reaches 1200°C. Thus, the highest effective temperature of oxidation resistance is 1100°C for TiB2-TiCX/15SiC. The oxidation dynamic curves of TiB2-TiCX/15SiC ceramics accord with the parabola’s law. The activation energy of TiB2-TiCx/15SiC (189.87kJ.mol-1) is higher than that of TiB2-TiCx (96.44kJ.mol-1). In the oxidation process of TiB2-TiCx/15SiC, TiB2 reacts with oxygen and generates TiO2 and B2O3 at first. A layer of whole homogeneous oxide film cannot be formed, in the mean time, the oxidation of TiC begins. When temperature goes up to 1000°C, TiC phase is totally oxidized. SiC is oxidized to SiO2 at about 900°C, Meanwhile, TiO2 forms denser film than B2O3, which grows and covers the surface of the material, and gives better property of oxidation resistance.

Objective: Evaluating the result of high-dose imatinib for metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumours after failure standard-dose first line. Patients and method: Restrospective analysis of 46 patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumours after failure standard-dose imatinib treated with high-dose imatinib at K hospital from 1/2015 đến 10/2019. Results: Median age was 54.6±9.5, male was 58.7%. The common primary tumor was gastric tumor. The mean time to failure of imatinib standard-dose 400mg/day was 38.2±5.3 months. Liver lesions were the most common lesions progressed after imatinib standard-dose failure (71.7%), primary tumor progressed was 39.1%. There was no patient who had complete response with treatment, the proportion of partial response accounted for 21.7% and stable disease was 45.7%. The clinical benefit rate was 67.4%. The sex-female, primary gastric tumor, good ECOG performance status, neutrophils, hemoglobine and albumin before treatment were the significant prognostic factors affecting the treatment response, p <0.05. The mean time to failure was 22.5 ± 3.4 (months), (min: 2.0; max: 58.0), median was 11.0 months. Conclusion: Treatment of high-dose imatinib after failure standard-dose 400mg/day showed the efficacy and good tolerance in metastatic GISTs.

In this article some properties of the mean time to failure in an age replacement model is presented by examining the relationship it has with hazard (reversed hazard) rate and mean (reversed mean) residual life functions. An ordering based on mean time to failure is used to examine its implications with other stochastic orders.
