Abstract:
This article shows how an in-class simulation can be used to teach the joint failure probability of statistically independent failures, and then to teach the more complex problem of system or “common-mode” failure. The technique has many potential applications, but here focuses on bank failures as a readily accessible application. This teaching simulation has been successfully presented to diverse audiences since 2011. The original audience consisted of high school, community college and university instructors and the case has since been taught to additional continuing education groups and 400-level Economics students.

Abstract:
Face failure is a typical phenomenon in longwall coal mines that can have a wide range of consequences. Face failure, which includes wall spall and roof collapse occurrences, is a hazardous virus that, if not managed, spreads fast across all stages of coal mining and has the potential to disable the mine. Based on this research, face failure may have a detrimental influence on technical, environmental, community, safety, and economic concerns, and its negative effects will leave an unfavourable legacy for the future. As a result, these impacts can be mitigated by effective management and risk management approaches. The quantitative and qualitative face failure risk model provided in this study has a considerable potential as a suitable tool for decision makers to analyse failure risk. Face failure-related high-risk variables can be discovered using this approach, which also makes comparing various mines easier from a face failure aspect. For validation, the model was evaluated in the Parvadeh, Negin and Pabedana coal mines. The study’s findings revealed that Parvadeh’s face failure risk factor was 5058, indicating a high risk in this mine due to mechanized mining. Furthermore, the scores of the Negin and Pabedana mines were computed as 3019 and 3165, respectively, indicating that they were in the moderate risk category owing to traditional mining.

Abstract:
Pipelines in the oil and gas industry have been used as one of the most practical and inexpensive methods for large-scale oil and gas transportation. In harsh operating conditions, these pipelines are susceptible to failure, which causes leakage of oil and gas and a significant impact on the environment and economy. Therefore, operational failure risk in oil and gas pipelines is paramount. This paper proposes a model to study the risk assessment of natural gas release in onshore gas pipelines in Vietnam. The methodology analyzes the causes of the failure of the gas pipeline by integrating Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and fuzzy theory. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the level of uncertainty. The study identifies 21 risk factors that lead to the failure of the pipelines. The results of a case study on two pipelines in Vietnam reveal that the risk of pipeline failure due to rupture is higher than the failure risk due to puncture. Results also show that corrosion has lower chances of pipeline failure. However, it carries catastrophic consequences.

Abstract:
Objective. To review outcomes after supraglottoplasty for laryngomalacia and identify risk factors for supraglottoplasty failure. Study Design. Case series with chart review. Setting. Tertiary care children’s hospital. Subjects and Methods. Retrospective case series evaluating patient outcomes after supraglottoplasty at an academic medical center between 2004 and 2010. Surgical failure was defined as need for revision surgery, tracheostomy tube placement, or gastrostomy tube insertion. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for failure. Results. The authors identified 95 children who underwent supraglottoplasty. After excluding patients with inadequate follow-up data, 74 patients were included. On the basis of chart review, 12 (16%) of those patients were defined as failures according to the criteria above. Age, history of prematurity (<34 weeks’ gestational age), weight, growth curve percentile, neurologic/developmental problems, genetic syndrome, cardiac abnormality, synchronous airway lesions, and surgical technique were considered in risk factor analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was performed, revealing history of prematurity to be the only independent risk factor for failure (odds ratio = 4.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-22.1; P = .041). Conclusions. Outcomes after supraglottoplasty were comparable to previous reports in the literature. History of prematurity should be considered a risk factor for surgical failure.

Abstract:
The failure of aeroengine rotor will cause a great threat to the flight safety. A new risk assessment model to assess the possibility and severity of failure of aeroengine rotor is presented addressing the problems that its failure samples are not sufficient and that early potential failures are not easy to recognize. The key point of this model is to determine the risk mechanism with diverse failures, failure phase, failure process, historical failure time, and check interval. The risk mechanism is to determine the failure is in the state of relevant failure or not. The failure phases are divided from initial operational state to potential failure and eventually developed to functional failure. The failure process is to confirm possible cascading failure of parts at the same level or of systems. Historical failure time is useful to describe the tendency of failure in the future by Weibull distribution, which is very suitable to depict the rule of mechanical parts failure. Considering check intervals makes the model more complete. These factors to be considered in risk modeling are complete. The relationship has been simulated between failure process and check interval of engine rotor. The risk assessment flowchart of engine rotor has been established after determining failure correlation including nonrelevant failure and relevant failure to another part. The primary failure probability has been predicted through Monte Carlo simulation. In the case of aircraft bursting into flames due to fuel tank breakdown resulted from turbine disk debris, the probability and process model of relevant turbine debris failure have been established through the cartridge receiver, airfoil, fuel tank in sequence. The relevant failure risk of engine part has been evaluated to ensure the safe operation of aeroengine. The aeroengine rotor failure risk model will have great significance in eliminating potential failure and reducing sudden failure.

Abstract:
The fast development and expansion of any service organizations which followed by increases in the asset numbers that’s need to have a proper maintenance strategy which should be cost effective. The aim of any strategy is to have a plan that contribute to improve asset performance by reducing downtime of asset failures.The aim of this paper is to set plan that determine the processes of creating failure code that can create a library of failure modes with its consequences and risk. This allow service provider to quickly understand the problem and any action that can be taken which have already proven by failure mode effect analysis. Also it’s identify most of the functional failures that might happened in the critical asset in the OETC’s network. In this study the transformer asset class was taken into the consideration for full failure mood and fault tree analysis.Defining failure codes can give specific instructions to complete a task to reduce the main time to wait in any failure from the total main time to repair, and any smiler failure mode from other assets the corrective action will remain consistent. The selective processes of creating a failure code give the organization a more holistic view of transformers risk which will be used to improve maintenance strategy by integrate those codes into work order system like CMMS

Abstract:
Today’s economy of the European Union is statistically proven to be largely made up of startup enterprises. Startups, that has been and will be an essential part of the economy, be it present or future. However, it is a well-known fact that startup failure rates are quite high, both in the economy as a whole as well as the restaurant industry which is of focus in this paper. Therefore, there is a pressing need among both scholars and entrepreneurs to figure out how to reduce the micro-enterprise startup failure rates.   It is why; this paper was written with the purpose of studying the components of a traditional business plan model, to look for gaps and parts that are worth developing more. Primary concern was to find out the necessary steps a startup must take in the business plan to better avoid financial failure in the pre-established startup period – which is over 42 months.    Therefore the following research question was posed: “How can the components of the traditional business plan be adapted or complemented by contemporary research, and, entrepreneurs’ views and experiences in order to better avoid financial failure of a micro-enterprise start-up within the European restaurant industry?”   In order to answer this question a qualitative study was done; contemporary research was reviewed and compared with primarily collected data which was gathered by conducting semi-structured interviews with managers and employees of restaurants. The abductive approach allowed the authors to “enrich” the established theories used.     It was made clear that two prominent gaps were found in the traditional business plan models; networking and a red-thread strategy. The first gap, networking, includes the need to establish a “network identity” within the network that the startup operates in, and to plan how the network that the business operates in can be used, as well as clearly state what purposes and benefits it provides.  The second gap, red-thread strategy, emphasizes the need of a strong overall focus on the desired goals and visions of the organization in order for it to better operate and function, and specifically, how it is to be implemented to permeate throughout daily operations. It is to make the operational inferences of the vision clear, and how the startup will ensure that the aim will stay the same through their day-to-day operations.      To conclude, it was found that by allegedly filling up those two gaps by including them in detail in the business plan, the startup could have a bigger chance of avoiding financial failure within the startup period.

Abstract:
Aim: Alcohol is a known cardiac toxin and heavy consumption can lead to heart failure (HF). However, the relationship between moderate alcohol consumption and risk for HF, in either men or women, remains unclear. Methods and results: We examined 14,629 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (54±6 years, 55% women) without prevalent HF at baseline (1987-89) who were followed for 24±1 years. Self-reported alcohol consumption was assessed as the number of drinks/week (1 drink=14g of alcohol) at baseline, and updated cumulative average alcohol intake was calculated over 8.9±0.3 years. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, we examined the relation of alcohol intake with incident HF and assessed whether associations were modified by sex. Overall, most participants were abstainers (42%) or former drinkers (19%), with 25% reporting up to 7 drinks per week, 8% reporting ≥7 to 14 drinks per week, and 3% reporting ≥14 to 21 and ≥ 21 drinks per week, respectively. Incident HF occurred in 1,271 men and 1,237 women. Men consuming up to 7 drinks/week had reduced risk of HF relative to abstainers (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68-0.94, p=0.006); this effect was less robust in women (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.71-1.00, p=0.05). In the higher drinking categories the risk of HF was not significantly different from abstainers, either in men or in women. Conclusion: In the community, alcohol consumption of up to 7 drinks/week at early-middle age is associated with lower risk for future HF, with a similar but less definite association in women than in men. These findings suggest that despite the dangers of heavy drinking, modest alcohol consumption in early-middle age may be associated with a lower risk of HF.

Abstract:
One of the objectives of this study is to develop a methodology, together with a set of software programs that evaluate, in a power system, the risks of catastrophic failures caused by hidden failures in the hardware or software components of the protection system. The disturbance propagation mechanism is revealed by the analysis of the 1977 New York Blackout. The step-by-step process of estimating the relay hidden failure probability is presented. A Dynamic Event Tree for the risk-based analysis of system catastrophic failures is proposed. A reduced 179-bus WSCC sample system is studied and the simulation results obtained from California sub-system are analyzed. System weak links are identified in the case study. The issues relating to the load and generation uncertainties for the risk assessment of system vulnerabilities are addressed. A prototype system - the Hidden Failure Monitoring and Control System (HFMCS) - is proposed to mitigate the risk of power system catastrophic failures. Three main functional modules - Hidden Failure Monitoring, Hidden Failure Control and Misoperation Tracking Database - and their designs are presented. Hidden Failure Monitoring provides the basis that allows further control actions to be initiated. Hidden Failure Control is realized by using Adaptive Dependability/Security Protection, which can effectively stop possible relay involvement from triggering or propagating disturbance under stressed system conditions. As an integrated part of the HFMCS, a Misoperation Tracking Database is proposed to track the performance of automatic station equipment, hence providing automatic management of misoperation records for hidden failure analysis.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents a new approach for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and managing the risks of failure in complex systems. It describes the paradigm commonly used today to explain such failures and proposes an alternative paradigm that expands the lens for viewing failures to include alternative theories derived from modern theories of physics. Further, it describes the foundation for each paradigm and illustrates how the paradigms may be applied to a particular system failure. Today, system failure commonly is analyzed using a paradigm grounded in classical or Newtonian physics. This branch of science embraces the principles of reductionism, cause and effect, and determinism. Reductionism is used to dissect the system failure into its fundamental elements. The principle of cause and effect links the actions that led to the failure to the consequences that result. Analysts use determinism to establish the linear link from one event to another to form the chain that reveals the path from cause to consequence. As a result, each failure has a single cause and a single consequence. An alternative paradigm, labeled contemporary, incorporates the Newtonian foundation of the classical paradigm, but it does not accept the principles as inviolate. Instead, this contemporary paradigm adopts the principles found in the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, chaos, and complexity. These theories hold that any analysis of the failure is affected by the frame of reference of the observer. Causes may create non-linear effects and these effects may not be observable directly. In this paradigm, there are assumed to be multiple causes for any system failure. Each cause contributes to the failure to a degree that may not be measurable using techniques of classical physics. The failure itself generates multiple consequences that may be remote in place or time from the site of the failure, and which may affect multiple individuals and organizations. Further, these consequences, are not inevitable, but may be altered by actions taken prior to and responses taken after the occurrence of the failure. The classical and contemporary paradigms are applied using a single embedded case study, the failure of the space shuttle Challenger. Sources, including literature and popular press articles published prior to and after the failure and NASA documents are reviewed to determine the utility of each paradigm. These reviews are supplemented by interviews with individuals involved in the failure and the official investigations that followed. This dissertation demonstrates that a combination of the classical and contemporary paradigms provides a more complete, and more accurate, picture of system failure. This combination links the non-deterministic elements of system failure analysis to the more conventional, deterministic theories. This new framework recognizes that the complete prevention of failure cannot be achieved; instead it makes provisions for preparing for and responding to system failure.

Abstract:

 

Gas turbine discs are heavily loaded due to centrifugal and thermal loads and are therefore designed for a service lifetime specified in hours and cycles. New probabilistic design criteria have been worked out at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB and this report is intended to evaluate if existing turbine discs meet the new design criteria. The evaluation is composed of two tasks, estimation of failure risk and investigation of which parameters that have large effect on the results.

 

The outcome from the evaluations show that the failure risks are smaller than the maximum failure risks allowed in the design criteria. Further, creep strain rate, temperature and creep rupture strain are identified to have large effect on the results in the first case. In the second case blade load and other mechanical loads as well as yield stress show large effect on the results.

Abstract:
Electricity is a critical component in our daily life. Because it is almost always available, we take it for granted. However, given the proper conditions, blackouts do happen every once in a while and can cause discomfort at a minimum, and a catastrophe in rare circumstances. The largest blackouts typically include cascading failures, which are sequences of interdependent outages. Although timely and effective operator intervention can often prevent a cascade from spreading, such interventions require ample situational awareness. The goals of this dissertation are twofold: to provide power system operators with insight into the risk of blackouts given the space of potential initiating outages, and to evaluate control systems that might mitigate cascading failure risk. Accordingly, this dissertation proposes a novel method to estimate cascading failure risk. It is shown that this method is at least two orders of magnitude faster in estimating risk, compared with a traditional Monte-Carlo simulation in two test systems including a large-scale real power grid model. This method allows one to find critical components in a system and suggests ideas for how to reduce blackout risk by preventive measures, such as adjusting initial dispatch of a system. In addition to preventive measures, it is also possible to use corrective control strategies to reduce blackout sizes. These methods could be used once the system is under stress (for example if some of the elements are overloaded) to stop a potential cascade before it unfolds. This dissertation focuses on a distributed receding horizon model predictive control strategy to mitigate overloads in a system, in which each node can only control other nodes in its local neighborhood. A distributed approach not only needs less communication and computation, but is also a more natural fit with modern power system operations, in which many control centers manage disjoint regional networks. In addition, a distributed controller may be more robust to random failures and attacks. A central controller benefits from perfect information, and thus provides the optimal solution. This dissertation shows that as long as the local neighborhood of the distributed method is large enough, distributed control can provide high quality solutions that are similar to what an omniscient centralized controller could achieve, but with less communication requirements (per node), relative to the centralized approach.

Abstract:
There were 8.6 million cases and 1.3 million deaths from tuberculosis (TB) globally in 2012. Among the major challenges to global TB control and the ultimate goal of TB elimination is the increasing prevalence of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis worldwide, coupled with an extremely limited pipeline of novel drug development. In 2012 there were an estimated 450,000 cases of muti- drug resistant TB (resistant to at least rifampicin and isoniazid) and 170,000 deaths due to multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB worldwide. The prevalence of resistance to isoniazid is extrememly high In some regions of the world, including Vietnam, where 25% of new smear positive patients and 54% of re treatment patients are infected with strains resistant to isoniazid. Treatment outcomes are known to be worse for patients with undiagnosed isoniazid resistant (INHR) -TB treated with standard regimens but the majority of patients have successful outcomes. This thesis investigated risk factors for treatment failure among patients with isoniazid resistant TB in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Chapter one provides. an -introduction to tuberculosis and isoniazid resistant TB and chapter two describes the methodology of the studies decribed in the thesis. In chapter three, I investigate the treatment outcomes among a cohort of patients with isoniazid resistant tuberculosis treated according to National TB guidelines. The data show that unfavourable treatment outcomes are unacceptably high, at 19% among patients with INHR TB.

Alsoghayer, Raid Abdullah. "Risk assessment models for resource failure in grid computing." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2011. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1909/.

Full text
Abstract:
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are introduced in order to overcome the limitations associated with the best-effort approach in Grid computing, and to accordingly make Grid computing more attractive for commercial uses. However, commercial Grid providers are not keen to adopt SLAs since there is a risk of SLA violation as a result of resource failure, which will result in a penalty fee; therefore, the need to model the resources risk of failure is critical to Grid resource providers. Essentially, moving from the best-effort approach for accepting SLAs to a risk-aware approach assists the Grid resource provider to provide a high-level Quality of Service (QoS). Moreover, risk is an important factor in establishing the resource price and penalty fee in the case of resource failure. In light of this, we propose a mathematical model to predict the risk of failure of a Grid resource using a discrete-time analytical model driven by reliability functions fitted to observed data. The model relies on the resource historical information so as to predict the probability of the resource failure (risk of failure) for a given time interval. The model was evaluated by comparing the predicted risk of failure with the observed risk of failure using availability data gathered from Grids resources. The risk of failure is an important property of a Grid resource, especially when scheduling jobs optimally in relation to resources so as to achieve a business objective. However, in Grid computing, user-centric scheduling algorithms ignore the risk factor and mostly address the minimisation of the cost of the resource allocation, or the overall deadline by which the job must be executed completely. Therefore, we propose a novel user-centric scheduling algorithm for scheduling Bag of Tasks (BoT) applications. The algorithm, which aims to meet user requirements, takes into account the risk of failure, the cost of resources and the job deadline. With this in mind, through simulation, we demonstrate that the algorithm provides a near-optimal solution for minimizing the cost of executing BoT jobs. Also, we show that the execution time of the proposed algorithm is very low, and is therefore suitable for solving scheduling problems in real-time. Risk assessment benefits the resource provider by providing methods to either support accepting or rejecting an SLA. Moreover, it will enable the resource provider to understand the capacity of the infrastructure and to thereby plan future investment. Scheduling algorithms will benefit the resource provider by providing methods to meet user requirements and the better utilisation of resources. The ability to adopt a risk assessment method and user-centric algorithms makes the exploitation of Grid systems more realistic.

Abstract:
Avoiding product recalls and failures is a must for companies to remain successful in the consumer product industry. Large numbers of failed products result in significant profit losses do to repair or replacement costs as well as untraceable costs of reputation damage among customer bases. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is key to preventing product failures. When risks are adequately identified and assessed the potential product failures can be mitigated and save lives as well as company profit. Risk mitigation is more effective the earlier it can be applied in the design process; therefore, the identification and assessment of risk through PRA techniques is most beneficial to the company when employed early in the design process. This paper presents new techniques for performing four common PRAs, preliminary hazards analysis (PHA), failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and event tree analysis (ETA), during the conceptual phase of design, when products have yet to assume a physical form. The backbone for the application of these PRA techniques during the conceptual design phase is the Risk in Early Design (RED) Method. RED generates a listing of potential product risk based on historical failure occurrences. These risks are categorized by function, which enables this preliminary risk assessment to be performed during conceptual design. A risk analysis is performed for a bicycle that demonstrates the powerful failure prevention ability of RED and PRA during conceptual product design with a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Can periodontitis increase the risk of heart failure? Condition being studied: Previous studies reported that periodontal disease is associated with higher risk of HF. However, their conclusions conflicted a little bit with each other. In this case, a systematic review may help drawing a more comprehensive conclusion. Therefore, the purpose of the present analysis is to tell if periodontitis is associated with HF as well as the subtypes of HF.

Abstract:
Reports, publications, papers, and databases were reviewed to better define risks and threats to plastic gas distribution piping. Failure modes were described for plastic PE piping with the most significant being slow crack growth (SCG). Short-term mechanical tests such as tensile, quick burst, melt index, and density tests did not show a correlation with a material's susceptibility to SCG failure. The bend-back test was able to visually identify 1971 low-ductile inner wall materials. PENT test failure times were reported for materials manufactured during the period1972-1985. The PENT test did not show correlations with the material's susceptibility to SCG failure for these materials. Life expectancy was determined to be a key measure of the susceptibility of PE gas pipe materials to SCG field failures. Long-term hydrostatic stress-rupture data combined with the Rate Process Method or with the Bi-Directional Shift Functions predicted the remaining life expectancy of several PE materials at 60�F average field temperature under varying loading conditions. Data showed rock impingement loads and pipe squeeze-offs can result in the greatest reduction in remaining life expectancy. Lower operating field temperatures and pressures significantly increased the predicted remaining life expectancy of PE materials. Fifty-five PE pipe samples that failed in field service were examined in the laboratory to identify the root cause of the failures. Eight of the samples underwent in-depth analysis, which included density and melts index tests and differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, and microscopic examination of the fracture surfaces. The samples were combined with another set of additional data resulting in 45 material, 36 procedural, 12 quality control, and 7 miscellaneous failures. A separate categorization method attributed a total of 321 failures to their respective pipe/component, with most occurring at joints. RCP in large diameter PE materials was investigated through laboratory testing. Critical pressure was determined for 6 pipe materials. The critical temperature was determined for 3 materials.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: P: patients with risk factors of multiple organ failure I: balanced crystalloids C: normal saline O: mortality, in-hospital mortality, renal failure, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay. Condition being studied: In clinical field, aggressive fluid resuscitation therapy is administered to prevent the progression of multiple organ failures by maintaining tissue and organ perfusion. Normal saline is frequently used, but it has been some concerns. Although large-scale studies with balanced crystalloids have been conducted, they couldn’t reach significant conclusions due to the diversity of disease severity. Therefore, we aims to evaluate and identify the best fluid for patients at high risk of multiple organ failure by comparing the effects of normal saline and balanced crystalloids.

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates, maintains, and manages more than $232 billion worth of the Nation’s water resource infrastructure. Using the Operational Condition Assessment (OCA) system, the USACE allocates limited resources to assess conditions and maintain assets in efforts to minimize risks associated with asset performance degradation. Currently, OCAs are conducted on each component within a facility every 5 years, regardless of the component’s risk contribution. The analysis of risks associated with Flood Risk Management (FRM) facilities, such as dams, includes considering how the facility contributes to its associated FRM watershed system, understanding the consequences of degradation in the facility’s performance, and calculating the likelihood that the facility will perform as expected given the current OCA condition ratings of critical components. This research will develop a scalable methodology to model the probability of failure of components and systems that contribute to the performance of facilities in their respective FRM systems combined with consequences derived from hydrological models of the watershed to develop facility risk scores. This interim report documents the results of the first phase of this effort, stakeholder analysis and literature review, to identify candidate approaches to determine the probability of failure of a facility.
