On allocating redundancies to k‐out‐of‐ n reliability systems

For two components in series and one redundancy with their lifetimes following the proportional hazard models, we build the likelihood ratio order and the hazard rate order for lifetimes of the redundant systems. Also, for k ‐out‐of‐ n system with components’ lifetimes having the arrangement increasing joint density and the redundancies having identically distributed lifetimes, allocating more redundancies to weaker components is shown to help improve the system's reliability.

Gerät zur Röntgenemissionsanalyse mittels Nachweises niederenergetischer Strahlung bei Anregung durch cine Radionuklidstrahlungsquelle

In der Arbeit wird das im Kernforschungszentrum Saclay, Frankreich, entwicketle Gerät “SARIEL” für die Röntgenfluores-zenzanalyse mit Radionuklid-Stralungsquellen bechrieben. Das Gerät besitzt als Detektor einen fensterlosen Proportional-zāhler und ermöglicht bei Verwendung von α-Quellen die Bestimmung auch leichter Elemente, wie z. B. Kohlenstoff. Der Aufbau des Geräts und einige typische Anwedungsbeispiele werden erläutert.     

A note on transfer function model specification with noisy closed‐loop input data

We assume that the input in a transfer function noise model is determined by a proportional‐integral‐derivative controller that is subject to noise. We show how such a noisy feedback in the input series affects the standard Box–Jenkins method of specifying the transfer function model. Our findings have important implications for the analyst who uses the traditional Box–Jenkins approach. The analyst will be led to estimate an incorrect transfer function model if feedback (exact or noisy) is present. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On some measures and distances for positive random variables

A number of conventional measures of risk as real‐valued functions on the space of positive random variables are considered: the expected shortfall, the mean excess over the threshold, the stop‐loss and some others. Ordering of risks, based on these measures and the distances between corresponding distribution functions, are described. The perturbed measures, describing the effect of changing environment, are discussed. These measures are defined by the accelerated life and proportional hazards models widely used in reliability and survival analysis. The case of a random environment is of a prime interest in the paper. The main result states that if, for instance, the stochastic environment is ‘neutral in expectation’ with respect to the baseline one, the distance between the corresponding distribution functions can be still sufficiently large.

限流沿对撞壁射流近壁区混合过程影响的实验研究(一)

本文研究了射流气体撞壁后在放有条形障碍物(以下称之为限流沿)的壁面上的发展过程．实验发现：在限流沿高度合适的情况下，射流气体与限流沿相撞后会脱离壁面形成空间流动。其中，限流沿高度、射流入射角度是决定射流气体撞击限流沿后的发展过程的重要参数，限流沿的存在成功地防止了近壁处的浓混合气层的形成．     

Detection

This review on second- and third-generation multidetectors devoted to heavy-ion collisions aims to cover the last twenty years. The presented list of devices is not exhaustive but regroups most of the techniques used during this period for nuclear reactions at intermediate energy (≃ 10A MeV to 1A GeV), both for charged-particle and neutron detection. The main part will be devoted to 4π multidetectors, projectile decay fragmentation, high-resolution magnetic spectrometers, auxiliary detectors and neutron detection. The last part will present the progress in electronics and detection in view of the construction of future-generation detectors.
