Abstract:
Universal discrepancy parameters of approximations of discretely specified dependencies by analytical functions and search criteria for optimal values of their coefficients, as well as analysis of features of their application are described. Discrepancy parameters of approximations, which do not depend on the ranges of variation of the values of functions and the number of points of a discretely specified dependence, are proposed. They can be effective for objectively comparing the quality of approximations of any dependencies by any functions. Approximations of a discretely specified dependence of the mathematical expectation of the equivalent electrical resistance of a layer of aluminum granules during spark-erosion dispersion in water on the instantaneous values of the discharge current are carried out. As approximating functions, we chose a power function with an exponent factor –1 and a function based on exponential. Using the criteria of the least approximation error, the optimal values of the coefficients of both approximating functions are founded. It is shown in which cases it is advisable to use the combined search criteria for the optimal values of the coefficients of the approximating functions, and in which are enough simple one-component ones.

Abstract:
Decision problems related to the wind energy require considering many, often interrelated and dependent on each other, criteria. To solve such problems, decision systems based on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are usually used. Unfortunately, most methods assume independence between the criteria, therefore, their application in decision problems related to the wind energy is debatable. This paper presents the use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method to solve a decision problem consisting in selecting the location and design of a wind farm. The use of the ANP method allows capturing the complexity of the decision problem by taking into consideration dependencies between criteria. As part of the verification of the solution, the results of the ANP method were compared with those of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which uses only hierarchical dependencies between criteria. The conducted verification showed that the inter-criteria dependencies may have a significant influence on the obtained solution. On the basis of the conducted sensitivity analysis and the research into robustness of the rankings to the rank reversal phenomenon, it has been found out that the ranking obtained with the use of the ANP is characterized by a higher quality than by means of the AHP.

Abstract:
During the last decade, with the rapid development of information technology, the immense volume of data poses a challenge to decision-makers. We use a combined dynamic decision-making approach based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to select the best supplier. In this paper, we discuss the interaction between criteria that can lead to expanding our proposed dynamic framework to consider the inner dependencies among criteria. The main contributions are: (1) identifying the most important criteria of supplier selection in a steel bar manufacturer in Taiwan; (2) proposing a simple and rapid analysis of the appropriate supplier selection evaluation framework; and (3) using the AHP and transformation matrix to present the inner dependence among the criteria.

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to present one possibility of how to model and solve a resource oriented critical path problem. As a starting point, a single criteria model for critical path finding is shortly mentioned. Lately, more criteria functions for this model are defined. If any project task uses more resources for its completion, its duration usually depends on only one of them – other resources are not fully used. In here defined multiple criteria approach, these dependencies are not assumed. Each criteria function is derived from a theoretical task duration based on a number of units of only one resource and on its importance. Using either linear programming model with aggregated criteria function or simple Excel calculation with Microsoft Project software support, a so-called compromise critical path can be found. On this path, some resources are overallocated and some are underallocated but the total sum of all underallocations and all overallocations is minimized. All resources are used as effectively as possible and the project is as short as possible too.

Abstract:
Recently, P.\ Wocjan and M.\ Horodecki [Open Syst.\ Inf.\ Dyn.\ 12, 331 (2005)] gave a characterization of combinatorially independent permutation separability criteria. Combinatorial independence is a necessary condition for permutations to yield truly independent criteria meaning that no criterion is strictly stronger that any other. In this paper we observe that some of these criteria are still dependent and analyze why these dependencies occur. To remove them we introduce an improved necessary condition and give a complete classification of the remaining permutations. We conjecture that the remaining class of criteria only contains truly independent permutation separability criteria. Our conjecture is based on the proof that for two, three and four parties all these criteria are truly independent and on numerical verification of their independence for up to 8 parties. It was commonly believed that for three parties there were 9 independent criteria, here we prove that there are exactly 6 independent criteria for three parties and 22 for four parties.

Abstract:
In multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), the even swaps method uses the relationships of criteria to make trade-offs but the burdens of experts are heavy; the linear programming technique for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP) method cannot deal with the inter-dependencies among criteria but the cognitive burdens of experts are low. Taking the advantages of both these methods, this study proposes a criterion utility conversion (CUC) technique to solve probabilistic linguistic MCDM problems given that the probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) can reflect the psychology of experts when making evaluations. The utility conversion process is first proposed based on the marginal utilities of criteria. Then, the criterion preference ratios of experts are refined from the utility conversion process. Based on the criterion preference ratios and the operations of PLTSs, the adjusted probabilistic linguistic expected values of alternatives are calculated. The consistency and inconsistency indexes of alternatives and criteria are defined to set up the linear programming used to work out the criterion preference ratios. An illustration about the selection of emergency logistics supplier is given to validate the proposed method. The comparative analysis indicates the low cognitive burden, high stability, and strong applicability of the proposed method.

Abstract:
The InterCriteria Analysis (ICrA) is based on the mathematical formalisms of index matrices and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It has been elaborated to discern possible similarities in the behavior of criteria pairs when multiple objects are considered, allowing also the accounting of information uncertainty. The focus of this study is to validate the applicability of ICrA over a large set of ECG criteria extracted for arrhythmia analysis and to evaluate its ability to support the pre-selection of criteria that could be further involved in decision making procedures. ICrA is applied over 88 ECG criteria (resulting in 3828 criteria pairs) calculated for 8528 ECGs from PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2017 database. Three criteria pairs show strong positive consonance, another 26—positive consonance, while another 15 are in negative consonance. ICrA also reveals lack of dependencies in 98 criteria pairs. The correspondence between our observations (high degrees of agreement/disagreement and lack of dependencies) and our expectations based on knowledge of the principles involved in the computation of the ECG criteria validates the application of ICrA for reliable evaluation of the relation between different criteria. This potential of ICrA to highlight useful relations between ECG criteria makes it suitable in the ECG pre-processing stage for criteria pre-selection. Thus, optimization of the feature space could be achieved together with minimization of the computations’ complexity.

Abstract:
In this paper we propose a combined AHP-IBA model for selecting the best SAP consultant for an SAP ERP project. The goal of the SAP Project Manager is to choose the best consultant, the one who is able to implement standard SAP functionalities with quality and on time. When making a decision on the basis of multiple criteria, the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method does not take into account the fact that attributes may correlate, assuming that there are no dependencies between them. However, the dependencies of the attributes can often be used to model important knowledge for multiple criteria decision analysis. We propose an extension to the traditional AHP method by applying Interpolative realization of Boolean algebra (IBA), using AHP to determine the criteria weights, and IBA to model the logical interactions among criteria. The research conducted on ERP consultant selection suggests that the decision making process is modelled more accurately if logical interactions between attributes are modelled before applying AHP.

Abstract:
Tiling is a widely used technique to solve the problems of the efficient use of multilevel memory and optimize data exchanges when developing both sequential and parallel programs. This paper investigates the problem of obtaining global dependencies, i.e. informational dependencies between tiles. The problem is solved in the context of parametrized hexagonal tiling in application to algorithms with a two-dimensional computational domain. The paper includes a formalized definition of the hexagonal tile and the criteria for dense coverage of the computational domain with hexagonal tiles. Herein, we have formulated a statement that permits to obtain all global dependencies between tiles. Formulas are constructed for the determination of sets of iterations of hexagonal tiles generating these dependencies. The sets of iterations that generate global dependencies are obtained in the form of polyhedra with an explicit expression of their boundaries.

Abstract:
In this study we are going to analyse the criteria, on which Stockholm’s Municipality distribute public grants to cultural and sport organizations. Public funding is very importantfor many organisations, and even it is necessary for survival for some of the organisations. Although previous studies give some criticism for the criteria of the public funding. It is claimed that these criteria are not clear enough, or might have an impact on the activities in organisations. In order to achieve most objective results, we have used a qualitative research method, by interviewing representatives from cultural and sports sector. Study reviews the existing criteria of the local administrations in Stockholm for concession of financial support to the different organizations active in the field of culture and sports. Using as an argument the testimonies of the same actors involved in these areas, the study tries to find out the effects of those criteria on both social activities. During this study, new institutional theories, concerning legitimacy, decoupling and isomorphism, were used. The results of this study shows that the criteria are quite different for different types of organisations. They affect one organization and the other in a very different way. For cultural organizations the criteria havea direct effect, determining their future activities and projects. Although, for sportsorganizations the influence of the criteria is more an administrative routine that must becarried out, according to established standards.

Abstract:
The motivation of the bachelor thesis is to provide an understanding of democracy in Iraq from 2003 until present. After the fall of Saddam’s regime, there have been general elections but there is still an unstable democracy in Iraq. What are the reasons behind the failure of democracy in Iraq? Of course, there are many reasons behind this but my choice is to focus on three specific ones. How do these three variables that I have chosen, affect the possibility of democracy in Iraq? These two questions will be answered in this bachelor thesis, using Path Dependence Theory and Dahl’s Polyarchy Model and its Criteria that help to analyze and answer the research questions. Iraq has many major problems but the three I have focused on are ethnic and religious divides between Shia and Sunni, the violent environment and the presence of terrorist groups.

Abstract:
The rates of non-medical prescription drug use in the United States (U.S.) have increased dramatically in the last two decades, leading to a more than 300% increase in deaths from overdose, surpassing motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of injury deaths. In rural areas, deaths from unintentional overdose have increased by more than 250% since 1999 while urban deaths have increased at a fraction of this rate. The objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that cultural, economic, and environmental factors prevalent in rural America affect the rate of substance use disorder (SUD) in that population, and that diagnosis of these disorders across rural and urban populations may not be generalizable due to these same effects. This study applies measurement invariance analysis and factor analysis techniques: item response theory (IRT), multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC), and latent class analysis (LCA), to the DSM-IV abuse and dependency diagnosis instrument. The sample used for the study was a population of adult past-year illicit drug users living in a rural or urban area drawn from the 2011-2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data files (N = 3,369| analyses 1 and 2; N = 12,140| analysis 3). Results of the IRT and MIMIC analyses indicated no significant variance in DSM item function across rural and urban sub-groups; however, several socio-demographic variables including age, race, income, and gender were associated with bias in the instrument. Latent class structures differed across the sub-groups in quality and number, with the rural sample fitting a 3-class structure and the urban fitting 6-class model. Overall the rural class structure exhibited less diversity and lower prevalence of SUD in multiple drug categories (e.g. cocaine, hallucinogens, and stimulants). This result suggests underlying elements affecting SUD patterns in the two populations. These findings inform the development of surveillance instruments, clinical services, and public health programming tailored to specific communities.

Abstract:
O trabalho concentra-se sobre o critério do valor adicionado fiscal na repartição do ICMS, com o objetivo de verificar sua adequação como mecanismo de provisão de recursos financeiros a Municípios, no contexto do federalismo fiscal brasileiro. Mediante análise teórica, de dados de distribuição e legislação referente à repartição e ao ICMS, identificamos que o valor adicionado fiscal é gerador de enormes desigualdades de tratamento entre Municípios de porte equivalente e de oscilações brutais de valores de transferência de um para outro ano, mas, sobretudo, que é juridicamente inadequado à multiplicidade de locais de ocorrência de fatos geradores e a heterogeneidade do imposto que pretende repartir. Não atinge, assim, o propósito de medir a adição de valor em um território, nem o de conferir aos Municípios receitas em montante similar ao potencial de arrecadação de um imposto sobre valor adicionado municipal depurado dos efeitos de imunidades, isenções, diferimentos e substituições tributárias, que justificou sua criação. A permanência da utilização do critério do valor adicionado por décadas é apontada no trabalho como resultante de acomodações e ajustes institucionais, característicos de dependência de trajetória (path dependence), que, desrespeitando os limites jurídicos de regulamentação, disfarçam a inadequação do critério e perpetuam as desigualdades e instabilidades dele advindas. Justifica-se, assim, que atenções sejam voltadas à análise de alternativas à repartição do ICMS por outros meios que não o VAF e o aperfeiçoamento de seus mecanismos de regulação, caso permaneça sendo utilizado.
The Added Value Criteria (VAF) is used in Brazil for purposes of ICMS (A State tax on circulation of goods, communication and interstate and intercity transportation services) revenue sharing to cities. The data on how the VAT based tax sharing occurs shows that VAT is a source of inequalities in resource distribution to cities of equivalent population and oscillations in the amounts received by a given city along the years. Moreover and as the central hypothesis of this thesis, VAF, as defined in Brazilian legislation, is not suitable to the complexity of situations and places of occurrence of ICMS taxable events nor to the effects of ICMS on prices, being, thus, unable to measure the value added in each city territory and to protect the revenue sharing from the effects of ICMS exemptions, constitutional immunities, deferrals and tax substitutions. Being so, the VAT regulations, do not recreate the potential of a municipal VAT, falling short in accomplishing the purposes it was created for. In spite of its defects, VAT remains in use decades after its creation as a result of accommodations and institutional adjustments that can be explained by a path dependence trajectory that was, and still, is able to disguise its chronic inadequacies and to perpetuate the inequalities and instabilities arising out of such distribution criteria. Our conclusions on VAF justify the study of other alternatives for the ICMS revenue sharing, as well as attempts to improve the quality of VAT regulations.

Abstract:
Background: Rates of accidental overdose mortality from substance use disorder (SUD) have risen dramatically in the United States since 1990. Between 1999 and 2004 alone rates increased 62% nationwide, with rural overdose mortality increasing at a rate 3 times that seen in urban populations. Cultural differences between rural and urban populations (e.g., educational attainment, unemployment rates, social characteristics, etc.) affect the nature of SUD, leading to disparate risk of overdose across these communities. Methods: Multiple-groups latent class analysis with covariates was applied to data from the 2011 and 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (n=12.140) to examine potential differences in latent classifications of SUD between rural and urban adult (aged 18 years and older) populations. Nine drug categories were used to identify latent classes of SUD defined by probability of diagnosis within these categories. Once the class structures were established for rural and urban samples, posterior membership probabilities were entered into a multinomial regression analysis of socio-demographic predictors' association with the likelihood of SUD latent class membership. Results: Latent class structures differed across the sub-groups, with the rural sample fitting a 3-class structure (Bootstrap Likelihood Ratio Test P value=0.03) and the urban fitting a 6-class model (Bootstrap Likelihood Ratio Test P valueThis result supports the hypothesis that different underlying elements exist in the two populations that affect SUD patterns, and thus can inform the development of surveillance instruments, clinical services, and prevention programming tailored to specific communities.

Abstract:
The present Ph.D. thesis addresses the problem of deep data-driven Natural Language Generation (NLG), and in particular the role of proper corpus annotation schemata for stochastic sentence realization. The lack of multilevel corpus annotation has prevented so far the development of proper statistical NLG systems starting from abstract structures. We first detail a methodology for annotating corpora at different levels of linguistic abstraction (namely, semantic, deep-syntactic, surface-syntactic, topological, and morphological levels), and report on the actual annotation of such corpora, manually for Spanish and automatically for English. Then, using the resulting annotated data for our experiments, we train and evaluate deep stochastic NLG tools which go beyond the current state of the art, in particular thanks to the absence of rules in non-isomorphic transductions. Finally, we show that such data can also serve well other purposes such as statistical surface and deep dependency parsing.
La presente tesis aborda el problema de la generación de textos partiendo desde estructuras profundas; se examina especialmente el papel de un esquema de anotación apropiado para la generación estadística de oraciones. La falta de anotación en varios niveles ha impedido hasta ahora el desarrollo de sistemas de generación estadística desde estructuras abstractas. En primer lugar, se detalla la metodología para anotar corpus en varios niveles (representaciones semánticas, sintácticas profundas, sintácticas superficiales, topológicas y morfológicas), y se presenta su proceso de anotación, manual para el español, y automático para el inglés. Posteriormente, se usan los datos anotados para entrenar y evaluar varios generadores de textos que van más allá del estado del arte actual, en particular porque no contienen reglas para transducciones no isomórficas. Por último, se muestra que estos datos se pueden utilizar también para otros objetivos tales como el análisis sintáctico estadístico de estructuras superficiales y profundas.

Abstract:
Lemieux recently proposed a new approach that studies randomized quasi-Monte Carlothrough dependency concepts. By analyzing the dependency structure of a rank-1 lattice,Lemieux proposed a copula-based criterion with which we can find a ???good generator??? for the lattice. One drawback of the criterion is that it assumes that a given function can be well approximated by a bilinear function. It is not clear if this assumption holds in general. In this thesis, we assess the validity and robustness of the copula-based criterion. We dothis by working with bilinear functions, some practical problems such as Asian option pricing, and perfectly non-bilinear functions. We use the quasi-regression technique to study how bilinear a given function is. Beside assessing the validity of the bilinear assumption, we proposed the bilinear regression based criterion which combines the quasi-regression and the copula-based criterion. We extensively test the two criteria by comparing them to other well known criteria, such as the spectral test through numerical experiments. We find that the copula criterion can reduce the error size by a factor of 2 when the functionis bilinear. We also find that the copula-based criterion shows competitive results evenwhen a given function does not satisfy the bilinear assumption. We also see that our newly introduced BR criterion is competitive compared to well-known criteria.

Abstract:
Causal relationships are typically accompanied by probabilistic dependencies — normally when A causes B the former raises or lowers the probability of the latter. Probabilistic theories of causality usually try to characterize or analyse causality in terms of these probabilistic dependencies: they try to provide probabilistic criteria for deciding whether A causes B, and often maintain that causality just is the corresponding pattern of probabilistic relationships. This article provides an introduction to and criticism of such accounts. While it is argued that probabilistic theories are ultimately unsuccessful, work on probabilistic causality has shed a great deal of light on the relationship between causality and probability and hence these theories repay a thorough understanding.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines some initially attractive attempts by E. J. Lowe and Michael Gorman at formulating an independence criterion of substancehood in terms of a particular essentialist construal of ontological dependence. It is argued that the stipulative exclusion of non-particulars and proper parts (or constituents) from these accounts raises difficult issues for their proponents. These results indicate that, in order for a criterion of substancehood to yield the desired results when applied to hylomorphic compounds, a unity criterion for composite substances is more suitable to the task at hand than an independence criterion, despite a general preference among Aristotelians for the latter.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the question of whether concrete particular objects deserve to be classified as substances within a hylomorphic ontology, despite their metaphysical complexity, and, if so, according to what criterion of substancehood or “ontological privilege.” It is common to conceive of the substances as ontologically independent, following some preferred sense of “independence.” But what is this sense of “ontological independence” and do matter–form compounds qualify as substances when this notion is applied to them? This chapter discusses various relations defined in the literature under the heading of ontological dependence, beginning with existential construals of ontological dependence and turning next to construals of ontological dependence that are formulated in terms of a non-modal conception of essence. When evaluated against various plausible measures of success, it turns out that even the most promising candidate relations are open to objections.

Abstract:
This chapter describes how substance use, substance-related problems, and substance use disorders (SUDs) have been viewed over time and in different cultures. Substance problems and inebriety were historically understood through a moralistic perspective, although the description of substance problem syndromes as medical diseases or disorders has a long history. Systematic attempts to develop and refine diagnostic criteria for SUDs began in the middle of the twentieth century and continue to this day. Research has identified limitations of existing diagnostic criteria for SUDs, which can aid the development of future classification systems. Culture plays a role in how substance use and SUDs are conceptualized and in how symptoms are manifested and interpreted. Modern theory of the nature of substance dependence emphasizes how chronic substance use can produce neuroadaptations in brain systems involved in reward, motivation, affective regulation, inhibitory control, and tolerance/withdrawal, all of which can contribute to compulsive substance use behavior.

Abstract:
Re-incarceration of former prisoners is commonly associated with relapse to drug and alcohol use because of ineffective treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) after release. High entry rates of people who use drugs (PWUDs) into prisons or jails results in the criminal justice system (CJS) bearing a disproportionate burden of the epidemic of people with SUDs. In contrast to 8% of U.S. adults in the general population, up to 65% of prisoners meet DSM-IV criteria for having a SUD and, depending on geographical location, 70% of HIV-infected prisoners meet criteria for opioid dependence. Though substantial efforts have focused on providing support for those with SUDs as they transition back to the community, evidence-based interventions are not commonly deployed. Despite scientific evidence supporting transitional programs for prisoners with SUDs (e.g., medication assisted therapies, contingency management, adherence support strategies), there are significant logistical constraints to introducing evidence-based interventions into correctional systems and delivering them to prisoners prior to release. Innovative solutions are needed that involve partnerships between all existing stakeholders, including individual patients with SUDs, the CJS and communities, in order to overcome existing impediments. This chapter discusses best practice and evidence-based models in use for jails and prisons to support successful community re-entry.

Abstract:
Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa (c.800–840), one of the most original Indian philosophers, a skeptic with a strong affiliation to the materialists, launches a devastating project against all philosophical schools: to demonstrate the existence of inherent flaws in any philosophical system one may construct. He does this by demonstrating systemic inconsistencies primarily involving the mutual dependence of our knowledge, on the one hand, and the means and categories, epistemic and ontological, we adopt in order to establish its validity and certitude, on the other. The upshot is that no consistent philosophical system is possible in which its fundamental premises can be proved by a valid, effective procedure. Perhaps the most significant outcome of Jayarāśi’s project is that all philosophical claims are necessarily made within a particular set of beliefs, or a particular closed system, the foundations of which are based on arbitrarily accepted criteria, definitions, and categories.

Abstract:
AbstractInformation regarding physical and photobiological basics of wIRA-HT has been derived under in vivo conditions in piglets and human tissues. Since wIRA fits into the optical window of tissues, direct conversion of absorbed radiation into heat (T >39 °C) has been proven up to tissue depths of 26 mm. Tissue heating cannot sufficiently be characterized by the specification of the radiant exposure (dose) due to its dependence on the thermal impact of irradiance and exposure time and on heat dissipation and metabolic heat production. If irradiations of identical doses are used, resulting tissue hyperthermia levels are the higher, the shorter the exposure time and the higher the irradiance. To comply with the ESHO criteria, incident wIRA irradiances should exceed ≈ 110 mWcm−2 (IR-A). At higher irradiances, steady-state temperatures (SST) ≥ 39 °C have been observed to tissue depths >20 mm in piglets and up to 26 mm in humans. SST values ≥40 °C have been measured up to tissue depths >20 mm (piglets) and up to 16 mm (humans), and SSTs ≥41 °C up to 16 mm (piglets) and up to 8 mm (humans). Post-heating temperature decay times limit optimal intervals between hyperthermia (HT) and subsequent radiotherapy (RT) sessions to periods ≤5 min.

Abstract:
AbstractMechanical surface hardening processes have long been of interest to science and technology. Today, surface modification technologies have reached a new level. One of them is friction stir processing that refines the grain structure of the material to a submicrocrystalline state. Previously, the severe plastic deformation occurring during processing was mainly described from the standpoint of temperature and deformation, because the process is primarily thermomechanical. Modeling of friction stir welding and processing predicted well the heat generation in a quasi-liquid medium. However, the friction stir process takes place in the solid phase, and therefore the mass transfer issues remained unresolved. The present work develops the concept of adhesive-cohesive mass transfer during which the rotating tool entrains the material due to adhesion, builds up a transfer layer due to cohesion, and then leaves it behind. Thus, the transfer layer thickness is a clear criterion for the mass transfer effectiveness. Here we investigate the effect of the load on the transfer layer and analyze it from the viewpoint of the friction coefficient and heat generation. It is shown that the transfer layer thickness increases with increasing load, reaches a maximum, and then decreases. In so doing, the average moment on the tool and the temperature constantly grow, while the friction coefficient decreases. This means that the mass transfer cannot be fully described in terms of temperature and strain. The given load dependence of the transfer layer thickness is explained by an increase in the cohesion forces with increasing load, and then by a decrease in cohesion due to material overheating. The maximum transfer layer thickness is equal to the feed to rotation rate ratio and is observed at the axial load that causes a stress close to the yield point of the material. Additional plasticization of the material resulting from the acoustoplastic effect induced by ultrasonic treatment slightly reduces the transfer layer thickness, but has almost no effect on the moment, friction coefficient, and temperature. The surface roughness of the processed material is found to have a similar load dependence.

Abstract:
Different approaches to determine the acceptance criteria for fatigue induced failure of structural systems and components are discussed and compared. The considered approaches take basis in either optimization (societal cost-benefit analysis) or are derived from past and actual practice or codes (revealed preferences). The system acceptance criteria are expressed in terms of the maximal acceptable annual probability of collapse due to fatigue failure. Acceptance criteria for the individual fatigue failure modes are then derived using a simplified system reliability model. The consequence of fatigue failure of the individual joints is related to the overall system by evaluating the change in system reliability given fatigue failure. This is facilitated by the use of a simple indicator, the Residual Influence Factor. The acceptance criteria is thus formulated as a function of the system redundancy and complexity. In addition, the effect of dependencies in the structure on the acceptance criteria are investigated. Finally an example is presented where the optimal allocation of the risk to different welded joints in a jacket structure is performed by consideration of the necessary maintenance efforts.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract A strain-based forming limit criterion is widely used throughout the sheet metal forming industry to gauge the stability of the deformed material with respect to the development of a localized neck prior to fracture. This criterion is strictly valid only when the strain path is linear throughout the deformation process. There is significant data that shows a strong and complex dependence of the limit criterion on the strain path. Unfortunately, the strain path is never linear in secondary forming and hydro-forming processes. Furthermore, the path is often found to be non-linear in localized critical areas in the first draw die. Therefore, the conventional practice of using a path-independent strain-based forming limit criterion often leads to erroneous assessments of forming severity. Recently it has been reported that a stress-based forming limit criterion appears to exhibit no strain-path dependencies. Subsequently, it has been suggested that this effect is not real, but is due to the saturation of the stress-strain relation. This paper will review and compare the strain-based and stress-based forming limit criteria, looking at a number of factors that are involved in the definition of the stress-based forming limit, including the role of the stress-strain relation.

Abstract:
Understanding the interaction of ocean environments with fixed and floating structures is critical to the design of offshore and coastal facilities. Structural response to environmental loading is typically the combined effect of multiple environmental parameters over a period of time. Knowledge of the tails of marginal and joint distributions of these parameters (e.g. storm peak significant wave height and associated current) as a function of covariates (e.g. dominant wave and current directions) is central to the estimation of extreme structural response, and hence of structural reliability and safety. In this paper, we present a framework for the joint estimation of multivariate extremal dependencies with multi-dimensional covariates. We demonstrate proof of principle with a synthetic bi-variate example with two covariates quantified by rigorous uncertainty analysis. We further substantiate it using two practical applications (associated current given significant wave height for northern North Sea and joint current profile for offshore Brazil locations). Further applications include the estimation of associated criteria for response-based design (e.g., TP given HS), extreme current profiles with depth for mooring and riser loading, weathervaning systems with non-stationary effects for the design of FLNG/FPSO installations, etc.

Abstract:
The definition and extraction of actionable anomalous discords, i.e. pattern outliers, is a challenging problem in data analysis. It raises the crucial issue of identifying criteria that would render a discord more insightful than another one. In this paper, we propose an approach to address this by introducing the concept of prominent discord. The core idea behind this new concept is to identify dependencies among discords of varying lengths. How can we identify a discord that would be prominent? We propose an ordering relation, that ranks discords and we seek a set of prominent discords with respect to this ordering. Our contributions are 1) a formal definition, ordering relation and methods to derive prominent discords based on Matrix Profile techniques, and 2) their evaluation over large contextual climate data, covering 110 years of monthly data. The approach is generic and its pertinence shown over historical climate data.

Abstract:
This paper regards control and optimization of a gas turbine operation with a respect to effectiveness and reliability criteria. The development of diagnostics procedures begins with modeling of the gas expansion line for various loads with regard to an internal blade cooling. Analyzing an expansion line allows to assess the influence of cooling parameters on gas path and turbine operation. Computational models are described here, which respect various cooling aspects, mainly convection and film cooling. Several examples of gas path, blade temperature and thermal barrier coating (TBC) temperature dependencies on cooling parameters are presented. The determination of gas and metal temperatures is utilized to evaluate creep wear rate. The dependency between the strength and durability of turbine components and their temperature might be regarded in several aspects. Firstly: lower temperature decreases the creep rate. Even small temperature drop leads to a significant deceleration of creep processes. Secondly: the change of the temperatures modifies also the distribution of thermal stresses. This change of thermal stresses is usually very small and might be neglected. Presented analysis omits the influence of temperatures alteration of stresses distribution, it regards however the change of the creep characteristics.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In the field of failure analysis of integrated circuits, diagnosing functional failures is a requirement. Traditional beam-based analysis techniques use a scanning laser or e-beam to induce a parametric shift which is monitored through changes in current or voltage driven to the device. Deep submicron technologies frustrate these analytical methods due to the nearly immeasurable parametric shifts externally caused by a small signal leakage path internally. These internal failures can be identified functionally by timing, temperature or voltage dependencies but the exact location of the fault is difficult to isolate. RIL (Resistive Interconnect Localization) is a newer technique which can identify via anomalies functionally using induced thermal gradients to the metal but does not address how to uniformly inject the thermal energy required in the silicon to analyze timing design deficiencies and other defects.[1] With SIFT (Stimulus Induced Fault Testing), numerous stimuli will be used to identify speed, fault, and parametric differences in silicon. The heart of this technique revolves around intentionally disturbing devices with external stimuli and comparing the test criteria to reference parts or timing/voltage sensitivities. Synchronous interfacing is possible to any tester without any wiring or program changes.

Abstract:
Following the trends of mass customization, globalization and environmental protection, new customer and legal requirements must be fulfilled in vehicle product development. The drivers named above often result in an increasingly complex product portfolio regarding the variance of components and mounting positions. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are most affected by this, offering individualization in large quantity. As a result, the Vehicle Concept Development Process (VCDP) is becoming inscrutable and inefficient, since common methods are not entirely adapted to the huge variety of requirements and therefore components. This paper introduces a new approach to the Vehicle Architecture Design phase of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The current package process can be divided in three phases. Within the phase of the Vehicle Dimension Design (VDD), exterior dimensions and passengers’ positions are defined. During the Vehicle Architecture Design (VAD), the drivetrain- and vehicle architecture is developed. Followed by the Vehicle Package Design (VPD), all components, including hoses and wires, are integrated into the vehicle. In a first step, the proposed approach integrates a combination of requirement and dependency management into the architecture design. It is necessary to get a transparent overview of the requirements and their dependencies at an early stage of concept development. To manage the variance of components and their mounting positions, all components to be considered during VAD must be distinguished and prioritized by their impact on the concept and the variance within the second step of the method. Their significance is assessed according to suitable criteria. Based on this selection, only a certain number of components is considered during the architecture design. Components not matching the criteria are shifted for integration during the package design. During the third step, creation of manageable architecture alternatives is assisted by the reduced number of components. Afterwards the concept alternatives are evaluated based on the level of similarities and standardization. Consequently, the transparency and efficiency is increased by the three steps of the new method for VAD.

Abstract:
Abstract Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) is an internal combustion engine technology that can improve the soot-NOx tradeoff and CO2 emissions of conventional diesel powertrains. GCI also offers a pathway to alleviate the operational and durability demands being placed on current lean aftertreatment systems for meeting upcoming criteria pollutant regulations. High-pressure fuel injection equipment is a key enabling subsystem for GCI and optimization along with the combustion, air and aftertreatment systems requires the use of simulation-based design tools like 1D hydraulic models or 3D-CFD. However, these tools require fuel property specifications to accurately capture the flow, spray, and combustion processes at conditions relevant to GCI. This work presents a surrogate formulation methodology that matches the entire measured chemical species listing of any gasoline as closely as possible and generates the required fuel properties over a specified range. It can be used when direct determination is not feasible or when properties are unknown at every condition of interest. Measurements of liquid density, viscosity, heat capacity and thermal conductivity were conducted on E10 certification gasoline from −20 to 150°C and 0–2500 bar (g) to validate the calculation methodology. Density did not exceed 1.6% difference with measured data, while heat capacity remained within 27%. Viscosity and thermal conductivity had maximum errors of 173% and 46%, respectively. This was due to the lack of appropriate pressure dependencies for these properties in the calculation methodology. The maximum error in modeled viscosity was reduced to 53% after employing a simple viscosity-pressure correlation for generic hydrocarbons.

Abstract:
This study examines the applicability of a stress-based criterion based upon plastic instability analysis to predict the failure pressure of corroded pipelines with axial defects. A central focus is to gain additional insight into effects of defect geometry and material properties on the attainment of a local limit load to support the development of stress-based burst strength criteria. A verification study conducted on burst testing of large-diameter pipe specimens with different defect length shows the effectiveness of a stress-based criterion using local ligament instability in burst pressure predictions, even though the adopted burst criterion exhibits a potential dependence on defect geometry and possibly on material’s strain hardening capacity. Overall, the results presented here suggests that use of stress-based criteria based upon plastic instability analysis of the defect ligament is a valid engineering tool for integrity assessments of pipelines with axial corroded defects.

Abstract:
Overview This is the third quarterly progress report for an ongoing living systematic review on cannabis and other plant-based treatments for chronic pain. The first progress report was published in January 2021 and the second in March 2021. The draft systematic review was available for public comment from May 19 through June 15, 2021, on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Effective Health Care website. The systematic review synthesizes evidence on the benefits and harms of plant-based compounds (PBCs), such as cannabinoids and kratom, used to treat chronic pain, addressing concerns about severe adverse effects, abuse, misuse, dependence, and addiction. The purpose of this progress report is to describe the cumulative literature identified thus far. This report will be periodically updated with new studies as they are published and identified, culminating in an annual systematic review that provides a synthesis of the accumulated evidence. Main Points In patients with chronic (mainly neuropathic) pain with short-term treatment (4 weeks to <6 months): • Studies of cannabis-related products were grouped based on their tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to cannabidiol (CBD) ratio using the following categories: high THC to CBD, comparable THC to CBD, and low THC to CBD. • Comparable THC to CBD ratio oral spray is probably associated with small improvements in pain severity and may be associated with small improvements in function. There was no effect in pain interference or serious adverse events. There may be a large increased risk of dizziness and sedation, and a moderate increased risk of nausea. • Synthetic THC (high THC to CBD) may be associated with moderate improvement in pain severity and increased risk of sedation, and large increased risk of nausea. Synthetic THC is probably associated with a large increased risk of dizziness. • Extracted whole-plant high THC to CBD ratio products may be associated with large increases in risk of withdrawal due to adverse events and dizziness. • Evidence on whole-plant cannabis, low THC to CBD ratio products (topical CBD), other cannabinoids (cannabidivarin), and comparisons with other active interventions was insufficient to draw conclusions. • Other key adverse event outcomes (psychosis, cannabis use disorder, cognitive deficits) and outcomes on the impact on opioid use were not reported. • No evidence on other plant-based compounds, such as kratom, met criteria for this review.
