On Cavity Approximations for Graphical Models [PDF]
We reformulate the Cavity Approximation (CA), a class of algorithms recently introduced for improving the Bethe approximation estimates of marginals in graphical models.

Wind Power Performance Optimization Considering Redundancy and Opportunistic Maintenance
In This paper the redundancy and imperfect opportunistic maintenance optimization of a multi-state weighted k-out-of-n system is formulated. The objective is to determine the k-out-of-n system redundancy level and the maintenance strategy which will ...

Quark Model, Large Order Behavior and Nonperturbative Wave Functions in QCD [PDF]
We discuss a few, apparently different (but actually, tightly related) problems: 1. The relation between QCD and valence quark model, 2. The evaluation of the nonlocal condensate $ \la \bar{q}(x)q(0)\ra $, its relation to heavy-light $\bar{q}Q$ quark

An N-system with different units submitted to shock and wear is studied. The shocks cause damage and, eventually, simultaneous failures of several units. The units can also fail due to internal failures.

Extremum sieve estimation in k-out-of-n system [PDF]
The paper considers nonparametric estimation of absolutely continuous distribution functions of independent lifetimes of non-identical components in k-out-of-n systems, 2 k-out-of-n, from the observed "autopsy" data.

Standing Waves in the FitzHugh-Nagumo System and a Problem in Combinatorial Geometry [PDF]
We show that there is a close relation between standing-wave solutions for the FitzHugh-Nagumo system \[ \Delta u +u(u-a)(1-u) - \delta v=0, \ \ \Delta v-\delta \gamma v + u=0 \ \ \mbox{in} \ R^N,\] \[ u, v \to 0 \ \mbox{as} \ |x| \to +\infty ...

A Simple Sum of Products Formula to Compute the Reliability of the KooN System
Reliability block diagram (RBD) is a well-known, high-level abstract modeling method for calculating systems reliability. Increasing redundancy is the most important way for increasing Fault-tolerance and reliability of dependable systems.

Analysis of Repairable k-out-of-n System Model Using Inter-Arrival Failure Times
Examination of repairable k-out-of-n system which has an important place in systems is an important application area of reliability theory. In general, the reliability analysis of a repairable system is based on the distribution of the lifetimes of the ...

Is the Theta+ a K pi N bound state? [PDF]
Following a recent suggestion that the $\Theta ^+$ could be a $K \pi N$ bound state we perform an investigation under the light of the meson meson and meson baryon dynamics provided by the chiral Lagrangians and using methods currently employed to ...
