Two kinds of multidimensional IFR distribution are defined by using a partial order in Rn+, which is derived from a non-negative, strictly increasing function in Rn+. Some closure properties under operations and an application to a shock model are discussed.

A new class of life distributions, namely new better than used in convex ordering (NBUC), and its dual, new worse than used in convex ordering (NWUC), are introduced. Their relations to other classes of life distributions, closure properties under three reliability operations, and heritage properties under shock model and Laplace-Stieltjes transform are discussed.

To compare the variability of two random variables, we can use a partial order relation defined on a distribution class, which contains the anti-symmetry. Recently, Nair et al. studied the properties of total time on test (TTT) transforms of order n and examined their applications in reliability analysis. Based on the TTT transform functions of order n, they proposed a new stochastic order, the TTT transform ordering of order n (TTT-n), and discussed the implications of order TTT-n. The aim of the present study is to consider the closure and reversed closure of the TTT-n ordering. We examine some characterizations of the TTT-n ordering, and obtain the closure and reversed closure properties of this new stochastic order under several reliability operations. Preservation results of this order in several stochastic models are investigated. The closure and reversed closure properties of the TTT-n ordering for coherent systems with dependent and identically distributed components are also obtained.

Let h(·) be an arrangement increasing function, let X have an arrangement increasing density, and let XE be a random permutation of the coordinates of X. We prove E{h(XE)} ≤ E{h(X)}. This comparison is delicate in that similar results are sometimes true and sometimes false. In a finite distributive lattice, a similar comparison follows from Holley's inequality, but the set of permutations with the arrangement order is not a lattice. On the other hand, the set of permutations is a lattice, though not a distributive lattice, if it is endowed with a different partial order, but in this case the comparison does not hold.

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted when fast (relativistic) electrons pass through crystal targets which are oriented in a preferential (channelling) direction with respect to the incident beam. In the classical sense, the electrons perform sinusoidal oscillations as they propagate through the crystal (as illustrated in Fig. 1 for the case of planar channelling). When viewed in the electron rest frame, this motion, a result of successive Bragg reflections, gives rise to familiar dipole emission. In the laboratory frame, the radiation is seen to be of a higher energy (because of the Doppler shift) and is also compressed into a narrower cone of emission (due to the relativistic “searchlight” effect). The energy and yield of this monochromatic light is a continuously increasing function of the incident beam energy and, for beam energies of 1 MeV and higher, it occurs in the x-ray and γ-ray regions of the spectrum. Consequently, much interest has been expressed in regard to the use of this phenomenon as the basis for fabricating a coherent, tunable radiation source.

The Molecular Dynamics technique is used to investigate size segregation by shaking in cohesionless granular materials. Temporal evolution of the height h of the tagged particle with different size and mass is measured for various values of the particle radius and specific gravity. It becomes evident that h approaches the steady state value h∞ independent of initial positions. There exists a threshold of the specific gravity of the particle. Below the threshold, h∞ is an increasing function of the particle size, whereas above it, h∞ decreases with increasing the particle radius. The relaxation time τ towards the steady state is calculated and its dependence on the particle radius and specific gravity is clarified. The pressure gradient of pure systems is also measured and turned out to be almost constant. This suggests that the buoyancy force due to the pressure gradient is not responsible to h∞.
