Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW FAMILY OF GENERALIZED GAMMA DISTRIBUTION AND ITS APPLICATIONSatsayamon Suksaengrakcharoen, Winai BodhisuwanThe mixture distribution is defined as one of the most important ways to obtain new probability distributions in applied probability and several research areas. According to the previous reason, we have been looking for more flexible alternative to the lifetime data. Therefore, we introduced a new mixed distribution, namely the Mixture Generalized Gamma (MGG) distribution, which is obtained by mixing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2014 · 7,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLENGTH BIASED BETA-PARETO DISTRIBUTION AND ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES WITH APPLICATIONNareerat Nanuwong, Winai BodhisuwanThe concept of length biased distribution can be employed in development of proper models for lifetime data. Its method is adjusting the original probability density function from real data and the expectation of those data. This adjustment can bring about to correct conclusions of models. Therefore, we introduced the Length Biased Beta-Pareto (LBBP) distribution, so-called a new generalized of Pareto … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach to Modeling Software Safety in Safety-Critical SystemsBen Swarup Medikonda, Seetha Ramaiah PanchumarthySoftware for safety-critical systems has to deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe. Software safety is a composite of many factors. Problem statement: Existing software quality models like McCall’s and Boehm’s and ISO 9126 were inadequate in addressing the software safety issues of real time safety-critical embedded systems. At … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Modeling for Flood Hazard Mapping Using Watershed Modeling SystemSeyedeh S. Sadrolashrafi, Thamer A. Mohamed, Ahmad R.B. Mahmud et al.In this stduy, a new framework which integrates the Geographic Information System (GIS) with the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) for flood modeling is developed. It also interconnects the terrain models and the GIS software, with commercial standard hydrological and hydraulic models, including HEC-1, HEC-RAS, etc. The Dez River Basin (about 16213 km2) in Khuzestan province, IRAN, is domain of study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,792 accessesView PDFCite
