TLDR
The paper treats the problem of survival reliability which is the probability of successful migration of a specific species from a critical habitat patch to destination habitat patches via heterogeneous imperfect corridors and contributes methods for computing a new measure of reliability that arises when paths to destination habitats patches share common corridors.About:

Switching-Algebraic Analysis of System Reliability
TL;DR: This chapter deals with the paradigm of handling system reliabilityAnalysis in the Boolean domain as a supplement to (rather than a replacement to) analysis in the probability domain, and explains some important properties of the concept of Boolean quotient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weighted Voting Systems: A Threshold- Boolean Perspective
TL;DR: The paper demonstrates that the prime implicants of the system threshold function are its Minimal Winning Coalitions (MWC), and stresses the utility of threshold Boolean functions in the understanding, study, analysis, and design of weighted voting systems irrespective of size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability Analysis of a Commodity-Supply Multi-State System Using the Map Method
TL;DR: The analysis of a commodity-supply system that serves as a standard gold example of a non-repairable multi-state k-out-of-n: G system with independent non-identical components yields a Multi-Valued Karnaugh Map (MVKM), which serves as an explicit function of the multi-valued inputs of the system.

Exposition and Comparison of Two Kinds of a Posteriori Analysis of Fault Trees@@@استعراض ومقارنة نوعين من التحليل اللاحق لأشجار الأخطاء
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that in many cases this analysis is still possible via elementary faulttree manipulations that use the concept of a Boolean quotient to effectively implement Bayes’ Theorem in the Boolean domain.

Conventional and Improved Inclusion-Exclusion Derivations of Symbolic Expressions for the Reliability of a Multi-State Network
TL;DR: A simple method for handling the classical problem of computing the probability of the union of n events, or equivalently the expectation of the disjunction (ORing) of n indicator variables for these events, and a novel method for combining the MS-PRE and MS-IE concepts together are discussed.

Connectivity measures: a review
Pavel Kindlmann,Françoise Burel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review various definitions of landscape connectivity, explain their mathematical connotations, and make some unifying conclusions and suggestions for future research, with an emphasis on the underlying processes.

Computational Complexity of Network Reliability Analysis: An Overview
TL;DR: An overview of results related to the computational complexity of network reliability analysis problems is presented, showing how these problems are connected to the more familiar computational network problems of recognizing certain subnetworks, finding optimal subnets, and counting certain subnets.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Improved Algorithm for Network Reliability
TL;DR: A theorem is given that enables the disjoint products to be found much faster than by existing methods, and the usefulness of the algorithm for large networks is shown.

Network analysis to assess landscape connectivity trends: application to European forests (1990–2000)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the equivalent connected area (ECA) index, defined as the size of a single patch (maximally connected) that would provide the same probability of connectivity than the actual habitat pattern in the landscape.

Handbook of Performability Engineering
TL;DR: The Handbook of Performability Engineering as discussed by the authors provides a holistic view of the entire life cycle of activities of the product, along with the associated cost of environmental preservation at each stage, while maximizing the performance.
