Universal first-order reliability concept applied to semistatic structures

Abstract: A reliability design concept was developed for semistatic structures which combines the prevailing deterministic method with the first-order reliability method. The proposed method surmounts deterministic deficiencies in providing uniformly reliable structures and improved safety audits. It supports risk analyses and reliability selection criterion. The method provides a reliability design factor derived from the reliability criterion which is analogous to the current safety factor for sizing structures and verifying reliability response. The universal first-order reliability method should also be applicable for air and surface vehicles semistatic structures.

Methods for Assessing Network Reliability

Abstract: With increasing dependence on networks to conduct business, the issue of net-work reliability has never been more critical. In this paper, we discuss various methods for estimating the reliability of networks under various assumptions. We use several techniques depending on the information available on the network, including Bayesian inference and neural networks.

Intra rater reliability and validity of simplified stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement (s-stream) scale on voluntary movement of the limbs and basic mobility in patients with stroke – An observational study

Abstract: Introduction: A stroke is a clinical syndrome characterised by rapidly developing clinical symptoms and / or signs of focal, and at times global, loss of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin. Globally, cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is a second leading cause of death. For providing a better management we must evaluate the patient with a good valid and reliable tool. In physiotherapy for evaluating the stroke subjects mobility and functional activity there are many assessment tools are available for assessing Balance, Functional activity, mobility and gait through Berg Balance Scale, Functional Independence Measure, Barthal Index and observational Gait Analysis. Other than these scales, Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Scale (STREAM) is one of the good reliable and valuable scale for the assessing of mobility and functional activity in stroke patients . Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the Intra rater reliability and validity of Simplified- STREAM (S-STREAM) Scale on mobility and functional activity in patients with Stroke. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out for the period of one year. 100 stroke patients were selected from Neurology ward of Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Intra rater reliability of S-STREAM was assessed for 1st and 2nd day of consequent 3 weeks. Validity of S-STREAM scale was evaluated by comparing the components of S-STREAM scale’s upper and lower limb voluntary movement with Fugl-meyer motor assessment scale components; Mobility component of S-STREAM was compared with Rivermead mobility index scale on first day of assessment. Data analysis of Intra-rater reliability and validity done with an help of Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. Conclusion: The results of this study shows that the S-STREAM has high Intra rater reliabilit

Paper 3: Reliability Prediction:

Abstract: Reliability has been described as a parameter of design. Where there is a large amount of capital at stake, or a risk to human life, the characteristic of reliability becomes very important. The de...
