This paper aims to determine the reliability of a complex system using Bayesian network. A network (BN) is probabilistic graphical model that represents knowledge about an uncertain domain where each component corresponds random variable and edge corresponding conditional probability. used estimate multistate consecutive k-out-of-n: F reliability. presents construction proposed system. The line...

We study the trapping kinetics of oxide traps and the subsequent degradation in p-channel MOSFET under bias temperature stress and in presence of random discrete dopants. Using our simulator Minimos-NT we self-consistently undertake time-dependent simulations of defect creation employing our multistate non-radiative multi phonon model. We find that random discrete dopants shift and broaden the ...

• Participants will be able to describe the key components of the Person/Enrollee Journey; the UCLA Innovation/Transformation Process; systems sharing for Scaling and Replication to Accelerate Results Delivery; an AMC expression, and a multistate hospital expression and their components for achieving the Triple Aim plus physician/clinician satisfaction. • Participants will be able to articulate...

OBJECTIVES Nosocomial infections constitute a major medical problem leading to increased morbidity and mortality of patients. Besides prolongation of length of hospital stay, hospital mortality attributable to those infections is often the quantity of interest when describing their impact and consequences. Since occurrence of nosocomial infections is a time-dynamic process, estimation of this q...

We describe a framework for designing the sequences of multiple nucleic acid strands intended to hybridize in solution via a prescribed reaction pathway. Sequence design is formulated as a multistate optimization problem using a set of target test tubes to represent reactant, intermediate, and product states of the system, as well as to model crosstalk between components. Each target test tube ...

We study dynamics of a unidirectional ring three Rulkov neurons coupled by chemical synapses. consider both deterministic and stochastic models. In the case, neural transforms from stable equilibrium into complex oscillatory regimes (periodic or chaotic) when coupling strength is increased. The coexistence complete synchronization, phase partial synchronization observed. state either two are sy...

OBJECTIVE Hearing aids are the principal tool for rehabilitation of hearing loss, one of the most prevalent impairments among elderly adults, but cost-utility ratings for hearing aid use are limited. DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis. SETTING AND PATIENTS A multistate Markov model was constructed to model 50- to 80-year-old patients moving between states, including normal hearing, mild, mo...

An electromagnetically induced transparency-like effect is described that allows a strong laser to control and reduce to unity the refractive index of a weak probe. A lossless multistate system with all states far from resonance is considered.
