Fault tree analysis of large-scale blackout accidents [PDF]
Fault tree analysis method is used to analyze the large-scale blackout accidents. Minimum cut sets and minimum path sets of large-scale blackout accidents are calculated, and the structural importance degree of the accidents is analyzed according to the ...

Prime implicants for modularised non-coherent fault trees using binary decision diagrams [PDF]
This paper presents an extended strategy for the analysis of complex fault trees. The method utilises simplification rules, which are applied to the fault tree to reduce it to a series of smaller subtrees, whose solution is equivalent to the original ...

This paper presents a statistical algorithm for classification of fault causes on power transmission lines. The proposed algorithm is based upon the root mean square (RMS) current duration, voltage dip, and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) measured at ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams [PDF]
Fault tree analysis is commonly used in the reliability assessment of industrial systems. When complex systems are studied conventional methods can become computationally intensive and require the use of approximations.

An efficient real-time method of analysis for non-coherent fault trees [PDF]
Fault tree analysis is commonly used to assess the reliability of potentially hazardous industrial systems. The type of logic is usually restricted to AND and OR gates which makes the fault tree structure coherent.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Fuzzy fault tree analysis of oil and gas leakage in subsea production systems
This paper presents a probabilistic failure analysis of leakage of the oil and gas in a subsea production system using fault tree analysis (FTA). A fault tree was constructed by considering four major areas where the leakages can be initiated. These are:
