Rolling bearings are usually considered to be non-repaired items the reliability of which is characterized by mean time to failure, or so called basic rating life. Reliability describes these parameters well in case the bearings are used in operation up to the very time the failure occurs, or during the time corresponding with basic rating life. In case of railway applications the bearings are often used in large groups and are preventively replaced after much shorter operating time as compared with their basic rating life. In the article there is a model which enables us to describe the bearings reliability in this specific case and to specify a number of failures which might be expected from a group of bearings during operating time, or to determine mean operating time between failures of bearings.

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.

Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Subsystem This paper presents results of detailed reliability analysis of water distribution subsystem operation of Krakow city. Basis of the research was wide base of information of occurred failures during exploitation (1996-2006). These analysis included evaluation of basic factors such as: failure and renovation intensities, mean recovery time and mean time to failure, availability factor and probability of failure-free operation at any time. Moreover, it was performed wide analysis of failure capability of pipes as a function of its diameter and material. The paper consists also of research results of occurred piping failures reasons and consequences.

Abstract Based on operational data concerning the dates of failure of the water supply network, a mean time to failure was performed. The calculations were performed for the main network, distribution network and water supply connections. The hypothesis about exponential working time between failures was verified using the Pearson test (χ2). The presented analyses provide an attitude of further analyses related to modelling the work of renovation and repair teams, associated with the selection of their appropriate number, and also to ensure the required level of safety and reliability of water supply to the consumers.

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.

OBJECTIVEThe malfunction rates of and trends in various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt designs have been widely studied, but one area that has received little attention is the comparison of the peritoneal distal slit valve (DSV) shunt to other conventional valve (CV) type shunts. The literature that does exist comes from older case series that provide only indirect comparisons, and the conclusions are mixed. Here, the authors provide a direct comparison of the overall survival and failure trends of DSV shunts to those of other valve type shunts.METHODSThree hundred seventy-two new CSF shunts were placed in pediatric patients at the authors’ institution between January 2011 and December 2015. Only ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts were eligible for study inclusion. Ventriculoatrial, lumboperitoneal, cystoperitoneal, subdural-peritoneal, and spinal shunts were all excluded. Rates and patterns of shunt malfunction were compared, and survival curves were generated. Patterns of failure were categorized as proximal failure, distal failure, simultaneous proximal and distal (proximal+distal) failure, removal for infection, externalization for abdominal pseudocyst, and addition of a ventricular catheter for loculated hydrocephalus.RESULTSA total of 232 VP shunts were included in the final analysis, 115 DSV shunts and 117 CV shunts. There was no difference in the overall failure rate or time to failure between the two groups, and the follow-up period was statistically similar between the groups. The DSV group had a failure rate of 54% and a mean time to failure of 17.8 months. The CV group had a failure rate of 50% (p = 0.50) and a mean time to failure of 18.5 months (p = 0.56). The overall shunt survival curves for these two groups were similar; however, the location of failure was significantly different between the two groups. Shunts with DSVs had proportionately more distal failures than the CV group (34% vs 14%, respectively, p = 0.009). DSV shunts were also found to have proximal+distal catheter occlusions more frequently than CV shunts (23% vs 5%, respectively, p = 0.005). CV shunts were found to have significantly more proximal failures than the DSV shunts (53% vs 27%, p = 0.028). However, the only failure type that carried a statistically significant adjusted hazard ratio in a multivariate analysis was proximal+distal catheter obstruction (CV vs DSV shunt: HR 0.21, 95% CI 0.05–0.81).CONCLUSIONSThere appears to be a difference in the location of catheter obstruction leading to the malfunction of shunts with DSVs compared to shunts with CVs; however, overall shunt survival is similar between the two. These failure types are also affected by other factors such etiology of hydrocephalus and endoscope use. The implications of these findings are unclear, and this topic warrants further investigation.
