Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Burr X Nadarajah Haghighi Distribution: Statistical Properties and Application to the Exceedances of Flood Peaks DataHisham A.H. Elsayed, Haitham M. YousofIn this study, new version from the Nadarajah Haghighi model is proposed. The introduced model has a failure rate function that may change in different directions. Statistical properties of the new density function are derived along with the analysis of variance, Skewness and Kurtosis. Parameter estimates are obtained by the method of maximum likelihood. Illustration of real data set was … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2019 · 7,132 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Quantitative Pharmacology on Drug DevelopmentAna Ruiz-Garcia, Kourosh ParivarThesuccess of drug development rests over two well defined pillars, a goodunderstanding of the drug’s clinical pharmacology and the appropriate targetpopulation for whom the clinical use is intended. The label for human prescription drugsrequires a good understanding of the pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamicsor PD) and the mechanism of action of the drug as well as detailed informationof the drug’s Pharmacokinetics (PK): … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Apr 2015 · 7,158 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Family of Logarithmic Lifetime DistributionsSaid Hofan AlkarniIn this study a new lifetime class with decreasing failure rate is introduced by compounding truncated logarithmic distribution with any proper continuous lifetime distribution. The properties of the proposed class are discussed, including a formal proof of itsprobability density function, distribution function and explicit algebraic formulae for its reliability and failure rate functions. A simple EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,818 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Behavior of a Two-Unit Warm Standby System with Two Types of Repairmen and Patience TimeG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Y. Mahmoud AyidProblem statement: In this study we investigated the probabilistic analysis of a two-unit warm standby system with constant failure rate and two types of repairmen and patience time. The first repairman, usually called regular repairman, always remained with the repair facility, with the known fact that he might not be able to do some complex repairs within some tolerable (patience) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Elasticities of Reliability and MTTF for k-out-of-n SystemsAli Muhammad Rushdi, Abdulaziz Efain AlsulamiThe application of the concept of cost elasticity of reliability was extended from the parallel system to the partially redundant or k-out-of-n:G(F) system (or k-out-of-n system, for short). An expression for the cost elasticity of reliability was derived for a general k-out-of-n system. The expression yielded acceptable results for a wide range of values for k, n, and component reliability. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,295 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStochastic Analysis of a Compound Redundant System Involving Human FailureRitu Gupta, S. K. Mittal, C. M. BatraThis study deals with a compound standby redundant system consisting of three sub-systems A, B, and C connected in series. The sub-system B consists of one main unit and the other is its standby redundant unit. These units further consist of two sub-units connected in series. The sub - units of main unit are connected to sub-units of standby unit … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,324 accessesView PDF Cite
