We discuss the mathematical structure of various levels of representation of Sanskrit text in order to guide the design of computer aids aiming at useful processing of the digitalised Sanskrit corpus. Two main levels are identified, respectively called the linear and functional level. The design space of these two levels is sketched, and the computational implications of the main design choices...

This research is concerned with developing repair and training strategies for stand-by equipment which maximise the time until the equipment is unable to respond when it is needed. Equipment can only be used if it is in an operable state and the users have had sufficient recent training on it. Thus it is necessary to decide when to maintain/repair the equipment and when to use the equipment for...

The inherent complexity of large ships makes it challenging to evaluate ship designs systematically and scientifically. Knowledge-based expert systems can be reasonable solutions. However, this problem needs more rationality better operability, especially in complicated ship-equipment suitability evaluation problems with numerous indicators complex structures. This paper presents a hybrid multi...

Fuzzy measure, as a non-additive metric, is an effective tool for information fusion. Constructing a determining mechanism for fuzzy measure with operability is the key focus in academic and application fields. In this paper, we first take core samples as knowledge carriers on the decision information system. According to changes of knowledge carriers, we second give a knowledge-based metric of...

In this paper a method for reliability analysis of restorable items is considered. We present the model describing a variation of reliability characteristics of objects and taking into account incomplete repair of operability after failure. The asymptotic solution for the intensity of the geometric process model is obtained. Reliability characteristics of the geometric process model for various...

Many ship accidents are experienced by small boats. With a large number of fishing boats in Indonesia, the risk potential is high. Therefore, an operability analysis must be conducted for various loading conditions to address any safety issues due severe vessel motion. The net cargo boat will change during its operation at sea and then affect vessel’s seakeeping characteristics. This study aims...

The UML Profile for Scheduling, Performance and Time (SPT) defines a set of concepts useful for modeling real-time systems. Its purpose is to integrate notation used by existing real-time analysis techniques into UML in order to 1. Enable the construction of models that could be used to make quantitative predictions regarding these characteristics. 2. Facilitate communication of design intent b...

OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which differences in generic quality of life (QOL) between transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) patients explained by EuroSCORE and heart-team operability assessment. METHODS A total of 146 high-risk patients with EuroSCORE > 6 and aged ≥ 75 years underwent TAVI (n = 80) or aortic valve replacement (n =...
