This paper presents advanced features of a fault tree solver FTREX (Fault Tree Reliability Evaluation eXpert). Fault tree analysis is one of the most commonly used methods for the safety analysis of industrial systems especially for the probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) of nuclear power plants. Fault trees are solved by the classical Boolean algebra[1,2], conventional Binary Decision Diagram ...

The multicellular spheroid (MCS) is an in vitro model which is highly representative of the avascular region of solid tumors by reflecting microenvironmental conditions in vivo. Hence, it is considered the most appropriate model for studying drug resistance. We compared chemosensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and differential protein expression between the 3D MCS model and the 2D monolayers u...

Improving energy efficiency (EE) of mobile communication systems (MCSs) has been considered a key aim in recent years, and has been the subject of intense research interest. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways to increase the EE is to turn off redundant communication entities whose operation does not greatly affect the overall performance of the MCS. In this paper, we propose a novel on–...

Abstract Background Congenital malformations (CMs) were the second cause of death in infants under age 1 year North America and Europe 2017, behind perinatal causes.Of CMs, those circulatory system (MCSs) most lethal. Studies Brazil, England have reported higher mortality from MCS presence prematurity, non-white skin color newborn, asphyxia, low birthweigth, advanced maternal age, education lev...

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) often cause heavy precipitation events during the warm season over Tibetan Plateau (TP). By using 1-hr gridded data sets with resolution of 0.1° × from geostationary satellites Fengyun-2 series (FY-2C/2E), characteristics MCSs TP (May–August) 2005 to 2012 are analysed. Based on objective criteria, can be divided into six categories, namely mesoscale convectio...

Based on Himawari-8 satellite observations, the mesoscale convective system (MCS) behaviors of two successive but distinct warm-sector rainfall episodes (EP1 and EP2) 6–7 May 2018 over southeastern China were compared, with latter episode being a record-breaking event. Results showed that MCSs played dominant role in EP2, not EP1, by contributing 80% extreme total all 10-min rainfalls 20 mm. MC...

Surface pressure manifestations of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) that traversed Oklahoma during the periods May–August 2002–05 are studied using the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR88D), the Oklahoma Mesonet, and the NOAA Profiler Network data. Forty-five MCVs that developed from mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) have been investigated, 28 (62%) of which exhibit mesolows de...
