A Segment-based Minimum Cutset Method for Estimating the Reliability of Water Distribution Systems

Sequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution

In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...

developing a pattern based on speech acts and language functions for developing materials for the course “ the study of islamic texts translation”

هدف پژوهش حاضر ارائه ی الگویی بر اساس کنش گفتار و کارکرد زبان برای تدوین مطالب درس "بررسی آثار ترجمه شده ی اسلامی" می باشد. در الگوی جدید، جهت تدوین مطالب بهتر و جذاب تر، بر خلاف کتاب-های موجود، از مدل های سطوح گفتارِ آستین (1962)، گروه بندی عملکردهای گفتارِ سرل (1976) و کارکرد زبانیِ هالیدی (1978) بهره جسته شده است. برای این منظور، 57 آیه ی شریفه، به صورت تصادفی از بخش-های مختلف قرآن انتخاب گردید...

A hierarchical approach for designing the downstream segment for a supply chain of petroleum production systems

Strategic decisions in a supply chain are the most important decisions for petroleum production systems. These decisions, due to high costs of transportation and storing, are costly and affected by the tactical and operational decisions in uncertain situations. In this article, we focus on designing a downstream segment for a supply chain of petroleum production systems. For this purpose, we wi...

Peaking demand factor-based reliability analysis of water distribution systems

Water demands vary and consideration of the probabilistic nature of the variations should lead to more instructive assessments of the performance of water distribution systems. Water consumption data for several households were analysed using the chi-square technique and it was found that distributions worth considering under certain circumstances include the normal and lognormal. Reliability v...
