in industries, preventive maintenance (pm) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. pm will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). however, most of pm interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (oem) recommendations. consequently, the benefits from pm are not...

In this article we present a space–time epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model for the area of Hungary, motivated by goal its application in insurance risk models. High-quality recent instrumental data from period 1996–2021 are used parameterization, including nearby Zagreb and Petrinja event sequences. earthquake-triggering equations our ETAS model, replace commonly modified Omori law ...

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) was carried out for the administrative region of Attica (Greece). Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Velocity (PGV) values were calculated return periods 475 950 years five sub-areas covering entire region. PGA hazard curves Uniform Spectra (UHS) in terms spectral acceleration (Sa) generated Athens, Methana, capitals each island (Salamina, Aegina, ...

Fragility curves are very useful in quantifying the physical and economic damage of buildings that have undergone an earthquake. This paper presents the development of analytical fragility curves representative of mid-rise residential structures built with reinforced concrete, taking into account the specific structural characteristics of Algerian buildings. The derivation of the analytical fra...

background : the aim of this study was to predict the survival rate of iranian gastric cancer patients using the cox proportional hazard and artificial neural network models as well as comparing the ability of these approaches in predicting the survival of these patients. methods: in this historical cohort study, the data gathered from 436 registered gastric cancer patients who have had surgery...

data utilized in this study were 6800 records of lambs’ life longevity, and survival rate from 263 sires and 1839 dams collected from 1989 through 2009, from the lori-bakhtiari flock at shooli station in shahrekord. the data were analyzed, using linear and hazard ratio models along with weibul function. these models included such non genetic factors as year and month of birth, sex of lamb, type...
