Reliability-centered maintenance: analyzing failure in harvest sugarcane machine using some generalizations of the Weibull distribution [PDF]
In this study we considered five generalizations of the standard Weibull distribution to describe the lifetime of two important components of harvest sugarcane machines. The harvesters considered in the analysis does the harvest of an average of 20 tons of sugarcane per hour and their malfunction may lead to major losses, therefore, an effective ...

Linking the Flow Regime of Papyrus‐Dominated Wetlands to Biologically Relevant Hydrologic Attributes
ABSTRACT The dominant plant species in many African wetlands is Cyperus papyrus. Its adaptation to saturated and low‐oxygen conditions and its dense structure and height provide breeding and feeding grounds for unique flora and fauna. As a keystone species adapted to local hydrology, the flooding regime of papyrus offers the full range of hydrologic ...
