purpose the 1-repetition maximum (1-rm) test is the gold standard test for evaluating maximal dynamic strength of groups of muscles. however, safety of actual 1-rm testing is questionable in clinical situations such as type 2 diabetes (t2d), where an estimated 1-rm test is preferred. it is unclear if acceptable test retest reliability exists for the estimated 1-rm test in middle aged t2d patien...

In software development process, testing is one of the most important aspects and hence, software reliably is very important factor of software systems. In the last four decades many software reliability growth model based on non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) have been developed which incorporates testing effort function. However, the previous models are quite helpful for software engineer...

In the real-world environment web applications are rapidly developed. To depend upon this web applications information transformation can be easily upgraded, thru certain networking environment depending upon software and hardware can be used. The aim of web application is the customer satisfaction; due to this factor such applications can be majorly dependent on reliability fact. The reliabili...

Sherif Yacoub, Bojan Cukic, and Hany Ammar Computer Science and Electrical Eng. Dept., West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506-6109 {yacoub,cukic,ammar}@csee.wvu.edu Abstract Software designers are motivated to utilize off-the-shelf software components for rapid application development. Such applications are expected to have high reliability as a result of deploying trusted components. T...

Although promising to provide insight into the interaction between genotype and environment, investigations into fluctuating asymmetry suffer from a lack of standardization in the reporting of measurement error. In the present paper we show, using both anthropometric and odontometric data, that the use of the reliability coefficient calculated for a bilateral measurement provides no indication ...

Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet this demand although its hardware structure is simple. The hardware configuration of HDS and the fault tolerance of this system are described. The switching control strategies in...

The purpose of this study was to examine the intratester and intertester reliability for goniometric measurements of knee flexion and extension passive range of motion (PROM). In addition, parallel-forms reliability for PROM measurements of the knee obtained by use of a goniometer and by visual estimation was examined. The intertester reliability for visual estimates of the PROM of the knee was...

INTRODUCTION Esthetic analysis of dynamic functions such as spontaneous smiling is feasible by using digital videography and computer measurement for lip line height and tooth display. Because quantitative measurements are time-consuming, digital videography and semiquantitative (visual) estimation according to a standard categorization are more practical for regular diagnostics. Our objective ...

Software Reliability Growth model (SRGM) is a mathematical model of how the software reliability improves as faults are detected and repaired. A large number of software reliability growth models have been proposed to analyze the reliability of software application during the testing phase, with the increasing demand to deliver high-quality software, more accurate software reliability models ar...

Lifetime data are important in reliability analysis. Classical reliability estimation is based on precise lifetime data. It is usually assumed that observed lifetime data are precise real numbers. However, some collected lifetime data might be imprecise and are represented in the form of fuzzy numbers. Thus, it is necessary to generalize classical statistical estimation methods for real numbers...
