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.

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.

Factoring Algorithms for Computing K-Terminal Network Reliability
TL;DR: In this article, a factoring algorithm for computing network reliability recursively applies the formula R(GK) = piR(gk * ei) + qiR(Gk -ei) where Gk * is GK with edge contracted, Gk - ei is Gk with ei deleted and pi? 1 - qi is the reliability of edge ei.

Smaller sums of disjoint products by subproduct inversion
TL;DR: A new method is presented for calculating system reliability by sum of disjoint products, while the Abraham algorithm (1979) and its successors invert single variables, this new method applies inversion also to products of several variables, resulting in shorter computation time and appreciably fewer disjointed products.

System-Reliability Evaluation Techniques for Complex/Large SystemsߞA Review
TL;DR: This paper is a review of literature related to system reliability evaluation techniques for small to large complex systems and the technique(s) the authors recommend for each system model are indicated.

A survey of efficient reliability computation using disjoint products approach
TL;DR: A general framework for most of the techniques used to solve the reliability problem for nonseries-parallel networks using the sum of disjoint products (SDP) approach is provided.

Towards a common set of criteria and indicators to identify forest restoration priorities: An expert panel-based approach
TL;DR: The study highlights the potential value of combining the Delphi process and face-to-face meetings for identifying practically applicable C&I for planning ecological restoration, and suggests that the development of a generally applicable set of C &I for forest restoration will be difficult to achieve in practice.
