prevention of medication errors in neonatal intensive care units (nicus) is of paramount importance due to age-specific and physiological conditions of neonates. this study aimed to evaluate the risk of medication prescription and administration via failure mode and effects analysis (fmea), which was carried out at the research and medical teaching center of imam reza hospital in mashhad, iran....

greater levels of complexity in tunnelling with tunnel boring machine (tbm) allow higher chances of failures that may increase the potential hazardous risks. this paper presents the results of a study on tbm reliability using risk analysis. machinery failure mode and effect analysis was applied to analyze the risks of a tbm using qs9000 and sae.j1739 recommendations. for this purpose, 48 failur...

risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. in this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy fmea a...

steel corrosion of bars in concrete structures is a complex process which leads to the reduction of the cross-section bars and decreasing the resistance of the concrete and steel materials. in this study, reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete beam with corrosion defects under the distributed load was investigated using the enhanced hasofer-lind and rackwitz-fiessler (ehl-rf) method base...

conclusions parametric models may provide complementary data for clinicians and researchers about how risks vary over time. the weibull model seemed to show the best fit among the parametric models of the survival of hemodialysis patients. results the results of a multivariate analysis of the variables in the parametric models showed that the mean serum albumin and the clinic attended were the ...

In this paper, the authors have focused on the stochastic analysis of an internet data center (IDC), which consists of a database main server connected to a redundant server. Observing the different possibilities of functioning of the system, analysis has been done to evaluate the various reliability characteristics of the system. The system can completely fail due to failure of redundant serve...
