Forty Acres and a Mule: Reparation Blues

This one-act play occurs on Juneteenth 2021, a day when protest directed at the Catholic Church and statues of Saint Junipero. Serra swept through the California mission system. Our play centers on the Carmel Mission, the site of Serra’s burial, one block from Clint Eastwood Mission Ranch Horel and Restaurant.

Stochastic Model on Three-Similar Units Three Phased Mission System with FCFS Repairs Pattern

The paper allocates a stochastic model on threesimilar units three-phased mission system. The developed system consists of units working in parallel, series and parallel configurations respectively. Initially, the three similar units are operational. Each component has only three states: good, degraded and failed. In this case, the single repair facility that repairs the units in first come first serve (FCFS)pattern has been thought of. Using Semi-Markov Process and regenerative point techniques, various measures of the system performance at each phase are obtained. The system has been analyzed graphically taking a particular case. Various conclusions are made regarding the reliability and cost consideration of the system at each phase as well as for the whole system(as combined Phase I, Phase II, Phase III).
