Estimations of the parameters included in a two-component system are derived based on masked system life test data, when the probability of masking depends upon the exact cause of system failure. Also estimations of reliability for the individual components at a specified mission time are derived. Maximum likelihood and Bayes methods are used to derive these estimators. The problem is explained on a series system consisting of two independent components each of which has a Pareto distributed lifetime. Further we present numerical studies using simulation.

This paper discusses the reliability equivalences of a series-parallel system. The system components are assumed to be independent and identical. The failure rates of the system components are functions of time and follow Weibull distribution. Three different methods are used to improve the given system reliability. The reliability equivalence factor is obtained using the reliability function. The fractiles of the original and improved systems are also obtained. Numerical example is presented to interpret how to utilize the obtained results.

This study deals with problems of estimating the availability of the multi-module software systems. The result presented in this paper is an extension of our previous paper (2) entitled "A modified Markov model for the estimation of computer software performance". The extension is made by assuming that (1) the software system consists of R statistically independent software modules; (2) no failure occurrence while the process is in transition between software modules.

Diabetes is complex in nature but it gets further complicated in associating with number of other diseases like hypertension, ratinal disintegration, renal failure and many others. The latest addition to diabetic-complication is its association with bone degeneration disease:osteoporosis, which is a form of bone loss. In both the types of primary diabetes, the insulin dependent diabetes militus (IDDM) as well in insulin independent diabetes millitus (IIDM) the glucose metabolism is altered. (omitted)

본 연구는 창업이 더욱 장려되는 상황에서 기업가정신과 창업실패두려움의 구성요소들이 창업의지에 서로 어떻게 영향을 주는 지에 대해 실증 분석하였다. 특히, 창업실패두려움을 세 가지 하위변수(재무적 손실, 심리적 손실, 경력 손실 각각에 대한 두려움)로 구분하여 조절효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 기업가정신 중 진취성과 위험감수성은 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 혁신성은 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 기업가정신이 창업의지에 미치는 영향 관계에서 창업실패두려움은 하위변수 모두 통계적으로 유의한 조절효과가 없는 것으로 나타나 창업실패두려움은 창업의지에 독립변수로서 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 하지만 창업실패두려움과 기업가정신의 하위변수들 각각의 상호작용항에 따라 회귀계수값(β)이 양(+)의 값이 되기도 하고 음(-)의 값이 되는 것을 볼 때 창업실패두려움의 종류에 따라 조절효과는 긍정적일 수도 있고 부정적일 수도 있음을 추론하게 한다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 창업 활성화를 위해서는 기업가정신을 고취하고 실패에 대한 두려움을 낮출 수 있는 정교한 창업 교육 프로그램이 필요하며 동시에 창업 실패에 대한 두려움을 낮출 수 있는 사회적 안전망 구축 방안이 마련될 필요가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was evaluated to compare the predictive power of distress prediction models by using discriminant analysis method and logit analysis method for food service franchise industry in Korea. Research design, data and methodology: Forty-six food service franchise industry with high sales volume in the 2017 were selected as the sample food service franchise industry for analysis. The fourteen financial ratios for analysis were calculated from the data in the 2017 statement of financial position and income statement of forty-six food service franchise industry in Korea. The fourteen financial ratios were used as sample data and analyzed by t-test. As a result seven statistically significant independent variables were chosen. The analysis method of the distress prediction model was performed by logit analysis and multiple discriminant analysis. Results: The difference between the average value of fourteen financial ratios of forty-six food service franchise industry was tested through t-test in order to extract variables that are classified as top-leveled and failure food service franchise industry among the financial ratios. As a result of the univariate test appears that the variables which differentiate the top-leveled food service franchise industry to failure food service industry are income to stockholders' equity, operating income to sales, current ratio, net income to assets, cash flows from operating activities, growth rate of operating income, and total assets turnover. The statistical significances of the seven financial ratio independent variables were also confirmed by logit analysis and discriminant analysis. Conclusions: The analysis results of the prediction accuracy of each distress prediction model in this study showed that the forecast accuracy of the prediction model by the discriminant analysis method was 84.8% and 89.1% by the logit analysis method, indicating that the logit analysis method has higher distress predictability than the discriminant analysis method. Comparing the previous distress prediction capability, which ranges from 75% to 85% by discriminant analysis and logit analysis, this study's prediction capacity, which is 84.8% in the discriminant analysis, and 89.1% in logit analysis, is found to belong to the range of previous study's prediction capacity range and is considered high number.

The objective of this work was finding out the most advisable testing conditions for an effective and robust characterization of the tensile strength (TS) of concrete disks. The independent variables were the loading geometry, the angle subtended by the contact area, disk diameter and thickness, maximum aggregate size, and the sample compression strength (CS). The effect of the independent variables was studied in a three groups of experiments using a factorial design with two levels and four factors. The likeliest location where failure beginning was calculated using the equations that account for the stress-strain field developed within the disk. The theoretical outcome shows that for failure beginning at the geometric center of the sample, it is necessary for the contact angle in the loading setup to be larger than or equal to a threshold value. Nevertheless, the measured indirect tensile strength must be adjusted to get a close estimate of the uniaxial TS of the material. The correction depends on the loading geometry, and we got their mathematical expression and cross-validated them with the reported in the literature. The experimental results show that a loading geometry with a curved contact area, uniform load distribution over the contact area, loads projected parallel to one another within the disk, and a contact angle bigger of $12^{\circ}$ is the most advisable and robust setup for implementation of BT on concrete disks. This work provides a description of the BT carries on concrete disks and put forward a characterization technique to study costly samples of cement based material that have been enabled to display new and improved properties with nanomaterials.

Objectives: Ultra-wide implants may be used as a replacement if existing implants fail. This study was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing the prognosis and failure of ultra-wide implants. Patients and Methods: This study evaluated whether sex, age, site, diameter, length, additional surgery, implant stability (primary and secondary), and reason for ultra-wide implant placement affect the 5-year survival and success rates and marginal bone loss (MBL) of ultra-wide implants. Seventy-eight ultra-wide implants that were placed in 71 patients (39 males and 32 females) from 2008 to 2010 were studied. One-way ANOVA analysis was conducted to evaluate the statistical significance of MBL according to the patient's sex, implant site, and diameter. Independent sample t-tests were used to determine the statistical significance of MBL analysis which was used to determine the significance of the 5-year success and survival rates related to the variables. One-way ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the statistical significance of sex, implantation site, diameter, and MBL. Independent sample t-tests were used to evaluate the correlation between implantability and MBL for implantation reasons, while additional surgery, length, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to evaluate 5-year survival and success rates. Results: The mean age of patients was 54.2 years with a survival rate of 92.3% and a success rate of 83.3% over a mean 97.8-month period of observation. MBL averaged 0.2 mm after one year of prosthetic function loading and 0.54 mm at the time of final observation. Success rates correlated with primary stability (P=0.045), survival rates correlated with secondary stability (P=0.036), and MBL did not correlate with any variables. Conclusion: Ultra-wide implants can be used to achieve secure initial fixation in the maxillary and mandibular molar regions with poor bone quality or for alternative purposes in cases of previous implant failure.
