Carey, DG, Tofte, C, Pliego, GJ, and Raymond, RL. Transferability of running and cycling training zones in triathletes: implications for steady-state exercise. J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 251–258, 2009—The primary objective of this study was to determine whether physiological measurements obtained from one mode of testing and training could be applied to another mode, as in prescribing heart rat...

In this paper, analysis of a system consists of two dependent components with load sharing is introduced. The life and repair times of the units are assumed to follow bivariate Weibull distribution. Markov models are used to construct the mathematical model of the system. Analysis of the availability function, reliability function, steady state availability, and mean time to system failure are ...

In this paper a new approach for the steady state Kalman Filter implementation is proposed. The method is faster than the classical one; this is very important due to the fact that, in most real-time applications, it is essential to obtain the estimate in the shortest possible time.

We deal with three availability systems with warm standby components, fault detection delay and general repair times. Failure times and repair times of failed components are exponentially and generally distributed, respectively. Detection delay times are also exponentially distributed. A recursive method is used to develop steady-state availability, ( Av ), for three systems. We present extensi...

particle leads to the formation of a dynamical steady state which is characterized by an effective temperature above the temperature of the environment [1]. The average steady state energy of the system has a higher value than expected from the environmental properties. The system experiences repeatedly a non-Markovian behavior as a consequence the corresponding effective decay for long evoluti...

The obligations that telecommunications providers have with their customers are nowadays clearly specified in SLA contracts. The offered availability during the contract period is one of the most relevant variables in SLAs. Modeling accurately the transient solution posed by the need of considering the interval availability is still an open challenge. A common policy taken to make simpler model...

The gas flow estimation is crucial for the proper operation and monitoring of turbocharged (TC) engines with a torque structured engine control unit (ECU). This paper presents mean value models developed for modeling gas flow over the compressor, the turbine and the wastegate (WG) in a TC gasoline engine not equipped with a hot film air-mass flow meter (HFM). The turbine flow ...

Response of a transversely isotropic 3-D half-space subjected to a surface time-harmonic excitation is presented in analytical form. The derivation of the fundamental solutions expressed in terms of displacements is based on the prefect series of displacement potential functions that have been obtained in the companion paper by the authors. First the governing equations are uncoupled in the cyl...
