The paper present study of reliability of system consisting of electronic or mechanical components. These components perform different function and failure of any component causes failure of entire system. Every system has its life and failure is inevitable, therefore objective of reliability study is to ensure that system works up to its life without failure. In this paper we have applied C-H-A algorithm to bridge system and developed Reliability expression for it.

Abstract The paper presents a concept of reliability estimation of the renewable technical systems consisting of the objects functioning in koon structures. The estimation is performed using computer simulation. Practical dependence between the failure of the entire system and the failures of the objects and elements from which the objects are made are taken into account as the result of the structural decomposition of the system conducted.

In Reliability Generalization (RG) meta-analyses, the importance of bearing in mind the problems of range restriction or biased sampling and their influence on reliability estimation has often been highlighted. Nevertheless, the presence of heterogeneous variances in the included studies has been diagnosed in a subjective way and has not been taken into account in later analyses. Procedures to detect the presence of a variety of sampling schemes and to manage them in the analyses are proposed. The procedures are further explained with an example, by applying them to 25 estimates of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient in the Hamilton Scale for Depression.

Alternations between allomorphs that are not directly related by phonological rule, but whose selection is governed by phonological properties of the environment, have attracted the sporadic attention of phonologists and morphologists. Such phenomena are commonly limited to rather small corners of a language's structure, however, and as a result have not been a major theoretical focus. This paper examines a set of alternations in Surmiran, a Swiss Rumantsch language, that have this character and that pervade the entire system of the language. It is shown that the alternations in question, best attested in the verbal system, are not conditioned by any coherent set of morphological properties (either straightforwardly or in the extended sense of ‘morphomes’ explored in other Romance languages by Maiden). These alternations are, however, straightforwardly aligned with the location of stress in words, and an analysis is proposed within the general framework of Optimality Theory to express this. The resulting system of phonologically conditioned allomorphy turns out to include the great majority of patterning which one might be tempted to treat as productive phonology, but which has been rendered opaque (and subsequently morphologized) as a result of the working of historical change.

Coherence of place often exists alongside irregularities in time in cycles, and chapter three turns to cycles linked by temporal markers. Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles (1950) follows a linear chronology and describes the exploration, conquest, and repopulation of Mars by humans. Conversely, Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine (1984) jumps back and forth across time to narrate the lives of interconnected families in the western United States. Bradbury’s cycle invokes a confluence of historical forces—time as value-laden, work as a calling, and travel as necessitating standardized time—and contextualizes them in relation to anxieties about the space race. Erdrich’s cycle invokes broader, oppositional conceptions of time—as recursive and arbitrary and as causal and meaningful—to depict time as implicated in an entire system of measurement that made possible the destruction and exploitation of the Chippewa people. Both volumes understand the United States to be preoccupied with imperialist impulses. Even as they critique such projects, they also point to the tenacity with which individuals encounter these systems, and they do so by creating “interstitial temporalities,” which allow them to navigate time at the crossroads of language and culture.

ABSTRACT Among the critical factors in organ perfusion are (1) the mechanical components of the system, (2) the composition of the perfusate, and (3) the perfusing conditions. In this review, particular consideration is given to the pump, the oxygenator, and cannulas in such systems. Emphasis is placed upon the selection of pertinent equipment for the goals of a particular perfusion experiment, based upon the criteria of adequacy of the perfusion. Common problems in organ perfusion are summarized, and potential solutions to the perfusion problem, involving either biologic or mechanical extracorporeal systems, are suggested.
