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.

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.

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.

On the application and extension of system signatures in engineering reliability
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the distribution of an m-component system's lifetime can be written as a mixture of the distributions of k-out-of-n systems, and that the vector of coefficients in this mixture representation is precisely the signature of the system defined in Samaniego, IEEE Trans Reliabil R-34 (1985) 69−72.

Effect of Spatial Arrangement of Habitat Patches on Local Population Size
Lenore Fahrig,J.E. Paloheimo +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed simulation model of the movement behavior of adult females was developed and used to predict effects of cabbage patch spatial arrangement on P. rapae egg densities for a specific spatial arrangement of cabbage patches, consistent with general simulation results.

A Survey of Network Reliability and Domination Theory
TL;DR: A brief survey of the current state of the art in network reliability and points out the connection with the more general problem of computing the reliability of coherent structures, a rich area for further research.

Contribution of habitat patches to network connectivity: Redundancy and uniqueness of topological indices
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of thirteen commonly used graph indices and the forest habitat network of goshawks living in NE Spain were analyzed to evaluate how the patch rank orders derived from these indices differ from each other and identify which indices tend to quantify the same network characteristics and which others are quite unique in addressing topological characteristics that are not considered by the rest.
