A testing-coverage software reliability model considering fault removal efficiency and error generation. [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a software reliability model that considers not only error generation but also fault removal efficiency combined with testing coverage information based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP).

When prices hardly matter: Incomplete insurance contracts and markets for repair goods [PDF]
This paper looks at markets characterized by the fact that the demand side is insured. In these markets a consumer purchases a good to compensate consequen¬ces of unfavorable events, such as an accident or an illness.

Virtual series-system models of imperfect repair [PDF]
Novel models of imperfect repair are fitted to classic reliability datasets. The models suppose that a virtual system comprises a component and a remainder in series. On failure of the component, the component is renewed, and on failure of the remainder, the component is renewed\ud and the remainder is minimally repaired.

Imperfect Maintenance Policy for a Two-Machine One-Buffer System Based on Markov Decision Process
To solve the problem of machine maintenance optimization of degraded systems, the preventive maintenance policy of a two-machine one-buffer production system is studied. First, random degradations of both machines are considered.

This paper develops a point-mutation model describing the evolutionary dynamics of a population of adult stem cells. Such a model may prove useful for quantitative studies of tissue aging and the emergence of cancer.

Aging as a consequence of misrepair -- A novel theory of aging [PDF]
It is now increasingly realized that the underlying mechanisms which govern aging is a complex interplay of genetic regulation and damage accumulation. Aging as a result of accumulation of ‘faults’ on cellular and molecular levels, has been

Nonparametric Methods for Imperfect Repair Models
An appropriate probability model for the age-dependent minimal repair model of \textit{H. W. Block}, \textit{W. S. Borges} and \textit{T. H. Savits} [J. Appl. Probab. 22, 370-385 (1985; Zbl 0564.60084)] is developed and a counting process approach is used to extend the large sample theorems of \textit{L. R. Whitaker} and \textit{F. J. Samaniego} [J. Am.
