Brown–Proschan Repair Policy for Repairable Systems Using the Discrete Weibull Failure Distribution and Markov Chains

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A repairable system operates under a maintenance strategy involving scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective repair actions following failures. This study develops an exact analytical methodology using Markov chains with discrete states and time to calculate the expected number of failures E[N(t)]$\mathop {\mathbb {E}}[N(t)]$ under

Neural‐Network‐Based Event‐Triggered Consensus Tracking for Nonlinear Heterogeneous Multi‐Agent Systems Against Denial‐of‐Service Attacks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article proposes a distributed resilient control framework to ensure consensus tracking for nonlinear heterogeneous multi‐agent systems (NHMAS) under aperiodic denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks. First, a resilient observer is introduced to estimate the leader's state considering that not all agents have direct access to the leader's ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...
