scholarly journals Mean Time to Failure Analysis in Shuffle Exchange Systems

Multistage Interconnection Network (MIN) has been researched for the interconnection implementation of switches and multiprocessors. The topology of the interconnection, the number of stage and the switching element used in the network distinguish between each MIN's tolerance of failure.This paper introduces a topology called Replicated Shuffle Exchange Network and Replicated Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network. A replicated technique is described for making the network more reliable. The replicated technique results in reduced the Mean Time to Failure in the network. Performance measurement shows that replicated network achieve a significant improvement over a basic network have been measured.

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.

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.
