Estimation du sexe fœtal à partir de l’ilium by Pascal Adalian, Sandrine Boutin-Forzano, Marie-Dominique Piercecchi-Marti, Yann Ardagna, Michel Signoli, Ferenc Kosa, Georges Leonetti, Olivier Dutour

“…During this research, we tested the different methods proposed for fetal iliac bones and adapted some others used particularly in the case of adults.For this reason, we set up and validated a protocol of taking photographs, as well as a measurement technique developed for numeric pictures with the help of a software program, Adobe Photoshop 6‚.During this study, we selected certain parameters, principally the ones taken on the great sciatic notch, which showed a strong correlation with sex, and we established a logistic regression for estimating the probability of belonging to one sex or the other.The weak percentage of sexual differentiation obtained by this formula led us to take into account age: we organised our sample in different age groups and established a formula that permits correct sex determination in more than 85% of cases (in our sample) for fetuses that are less than 24 gestational weeks old.…”

The Reliability Model for Bike-Sharing Dispatch Based on Hotspot Detection and Hypothesis Test: A Case Study in Beijing by Chao Sun, Jian Lu

“…We propose the performance function of bike-sharing dispatch, in which the difference between origin and destination (OD) is defined as the main parameter of the failure probability of the system. By adopting different distribution forms, including Poisson distribution, Rayleigh distribution, exponential distribution, normal distribution, and gamma distribution, we examine the distribution characteristics of OD differences. …”

A fatigue-reliability approach using ultrasonic non-destructive inspection by Chouikh, Iheb, Bouraoui, Chokri

“…To analyse the performance and efficacity of the model, the probability of detection is determined using the “signal response” technique.The Paris model is used to predict the fatigue life taking into consideration the initial crack distributions, the dispersion of the parameters underlined by the Least-squares method and Monte-Carlo simulations.Reliability evaluation is discussed later for two cases: Detection and No-detection case.If no indication is presented, an inspection detection threshold is determined and optimized. …”

FUZZY ALGORITHM TO CONTROL REACTIVE POWER FLOW IN ELECTRIC NETWORK WITH NONLINEAR LOADS by H. B. Guliyev

“…The mentioned results demonstrate that when harmonic components of voltages exceed normative magnitudes, the use of the proposed algorithm eliminates additional loading on the capacitor banks with higher harmonic currents whereas the control procedure acquires quality, the number of commutations is being reduced, the capacitor battery functions longer and the probability of its malfunction decreases.…”

Reliability Prediction of Ontology-Based Service Compositions Using Petri Net and Time Series Models by Jia Li, Yunni Xia, Xin Luo

“…The framework includes the following steps: obtaining the historical response times series of individual service components; fitting these series with a autoregressive-moving-average-model (ARMA for short) and predicting the future firing rates of service components; mapping the OWL-S process into a NMSPN model; employing the predicted firing rates as the model input of NMSPN and calculating the normal completion probability as the reliability estimate. In the case study, a comparison between the static model and our approach based on experimental data is presented and it is shown that our approach achieves higher prediction accuracy.…”
